The Rook by Daniel O'Malley.

[I am so sorry this took a while-- I haven’t had internet and the app didn’t tell me I had a new message? Anyway I went back and found the post so I know what I’m actually answering! I’m organized! Kinda!]

I hadn’t heard of this one, but I looked it up and it looks amazing :) Definitely on the TBR list now!

Whoa. The legal advocacy part - I didn't realize they did that. Awesome. And haa... I share your disappointment with the Inkstand group. Though I notice you added disqus to your pages! Interesting work around - is that being used at all?

Yeah, OTW is really cool! See, fandom kids, this is why you DON’T try and push out fandom peeps who are in their 20s and above! You get things like legal advocacy! 

As for inkstand, I think that’s going to be my last nudging on my part or maybe I’ll try one more time? Honestly, I don’t know how serious they are now or what their plans are beyond building Inkstand. 

I did add disqus! Thanks for reminding me, I need to tell people about it more! The integration came with the theme I’m on, I should really donate coffee money to the person who made that, ‘cause I’m loving it.

I think it actually establishes that there are multiple timelines and there is still the question of who sent the T100 back (uh spoiler?). I headcanon it could've been Sarah or Cameron, retaining the integrity of both show and film.

That would be awesome if its either or maybe TSCC!John? Or! Allison even!

Didn't even realize there was a new Terminator movie.. But ahgggg I miss TSCC so much. So upset it got cancelled as it got amazing. Sarah was amazing, and what made me love Headey. And Cameron. :D Maybe time for a selective rewatch..

Me too, that show was really awesome and I feel like in tone, its a good companion show to Person of Interest.

Oh, this is nice. I'm always boggled on tumblr how my post is really going to look, even with the preview on blog, which is not really accurate, plus dashboards display differently. And resizing of images, or clipping posts, etc.

I have so much love for Ghost’s posting interface and even more so, for Markdown. Its a writing tool for writers without having to worry about html codes or highlighting and clicking to italicize a word or bold it. I just love how you can just flow while writing. Tumblr’s Markdown implementation is terrible because it usually breaks the format and I have to re-do it again through html which defeats the purpose of markdown in the first place! But Markdown is awesome when writing a post on mobile.I could wax poetic about Markdown alll day!

Haa, I was disappointed about how little screen time Dani had, and no more backstory eps. I still wish they did more with her dad too. I was tempted to track down Fairly Legal out of curiosity. Ever watch it?

Yeah, that’s really a sticking point for me in season 2 of Life, that we never got another scene with Jack and Dani. They had such a fraught relationship, and I wished they explored more about Rachel Seybolt as the daughter Jack did right with. 

Fairly Legal is a fun show but... I felt like it had potential, episode 4 was the best in the whole series IMO, because I felt that was the show Fairly Legal wanted to be and then... the show changed showrunners. And it went down hill from there especially when they added your standard Annoying White Guy as Kate Reed’s new love interest.

I've noticed that in both Life and POI, Reese and Shaw's back stories and drives and losses are touched upon, but that's it: touched, not delved. Two characters that have so much hinted at but for some reasons the shows haven't done much so far.

I do wish we got more backstory on Dani. The backstory for Dani they hinted out was so *rich* and then season 2 dropped the ball. I feel like POI still has a chance especially with Shaw returning in season 5. *crossing fingers for season 6*.

Aww, too bad. I guess it was a year ago though. Ohhh. I really like the re-doing security scene too. I can see that being the case. Ahhh all the banter, and the pep talk reference - the best. :D

I really like that scene too! And I like writing Root and Shaw banter so I’m glad that worked for you :)
