Being Erica

I hate that so few people watch Being Erica, because I so rarely get to squee talk about it. Basically, any time someone on my flist says anything even remotely related to the show I jump down their throats (sorry about that, guys!) and I can't understand why, when this is pretty much the only show I'm fannish about, hardly anyone else watches and/or cares.

Of course, I do have my 'SHIP, and that makes all the difference in my world. And this week they were back and They. Were. Awesome. Just the fact that the two of them stood in the same room together made me go all flappy!hands and squeal with happiness.

You guys! All two of you reading this! Kai came back from the future and slept with Erica in a few weeks! Man, I hope this means he's coming back in a few episodes (whether or not they sleep together is irrelevant, though I tend to think they will because...well, didn't it already happen? Doesn't it become a time paradox otherwise?)

This kind of scenario is pretty much exactly what I had in mind when I said I wanted their relationship to be like The Time-Traveler's Wife (except without the suck). And you know what makes this couple a million times more brilliant even from the get-go? THEY BOTH TIME TRAVEL. Thank you! Also, I can't imagine Erica letting her life become All. About. Kai. So, you know, another check mark in the win column for Being Erica.

I loved that the episode was both a callback to the do over day and that it was Groundhog Day - Erica style. (Though I would have loved to have gotten more info on Kai. Especially since now that he's shown up I'm not sure if he's coming back. The only thing I spoiled myself for was the fact that he was coming back, but it could have just been this once, what do I know?)

And then!

Then this happened!
