So I was vaguely determined--having seen half the pilot when it actually aired--that if I was going to get into Southland I was going to do it in a linear fashion, which is something of a novelty for me. Show first, then fic! Crazy!

So for some reason last night I decided, around midnight (having already taken today off to have a post-weekend-vacation decompression day), that this was the night I was going to start watching. And then I didn't stop until I'd seen the first five episodes and it was 4:30 in the morning.

Um. So that may have been a bad idea, but otoh, you guys, I think someone looked into my brain and then created John Cooper just for me. ♥♥♥

Now off to watch the last two. And maybe that little bit from ep five in the tattoo parlor over again. And again. And maybe one more time.
