Regarding The Mentalist: I had no idea how much I 'shipped Cho/Summer until the end of 'At First Blush'. TURNS OUT I 'SHIP CHO/SUMMER QUITE A LOT.
I like Summer! I think she could be Santana Lopez's cousin; they have very similar faces, expressions and attitudes. After her first episode, I actually tried to find out whether Summer was played by Naya Rivera. You can't trust me on these matters, though; I'm terrible at telling faces apart. There was one point when I thought more or less every actor in North America was Neil Patrick Harris. It's entirely possible that they look absolutely nothing alike and I am a lunatic.
I thought I'd try rewatching Waterloo Road from the beginning, but it turns out that I find the early episodes really difficult to endure because I'm so distressed by what an awful person Tom is in series one and two. NOOOO TOM I'M SUPPOSED TO LOVE YOU.
So I rewatched Josh's coming-out story instead and spent the entire time brimming over with love for Josh's relationship with his father. I love it when they tease each other, and I love that, no matter how difficult Tom finds a situation, he will try to fight through it and do what's best for Josh. He doesn't always succeed, but he always tries.
I'd forgotten how jealous Finn is when Josh gets a boyfriend. 'Look, I don't care that he's gay. He can go out with every lad in the school for all I care; it's just... when you like girls, it's different 'cause you have your mate and then you have your girlfriend. If he's with another lad, then he's gonna be like his new best mate. Where do I fit in?' Bless you, Finn.
I must have completely missed this before, but Josh mentions Chlo! When Tom is reluctant to allow Nate to stay the night, Josh points out that he probably didn't make a fuss when Chlo wanted to have boyfriends over. Tom must have told Josh about her! Maybe they've met! I DEMAND FANFICTION ABOUT THEIR FIRST MEETING.
And then Tom gets over himself and goes 'yes, of course he can stay, why not?' and I just love their relationship so much, you guys. It's by no means perfect, and they both slip up sometimes, but they try so hard.
Favourite father-son duo ever. ♥!
I'm so pleased that Josh has let his curls grow back. Josh's hair is my favourite character.
I love Waterloo Road so much. It's quite possibly my favourite thing on television in all its ridiculous, melodramatic glory, and it's so strange to think I'd never have discovered it had I not, finding myself alone and without Internet access one night, turned on the television at exactly the right moment for it to catch my interest. Seriously, had I switched it on sixty seconds earlier or later, you probably wouldn't be suffering all my endless entries about it now. Sorry about that. Nobody else is posting about it! I feel the need to make up for the deficit!
(The person who has been cast as the Doctor's next companion was in Waterloo Road, incidentally. Excellent. I am going to take this as an invitation for stupid crossovers.)
