Fix-it Rant by Bj Jones

This is why I don’t watch new shows.

No not because of the bunnies, that’s inevitable.

No because most of the time I end up wanting to shank the writers.   I could actually go full on rant about the quality of TV and Movies these days and the writers and showrunners who are being paid way to much money for shit … but I’ll hold back.

For now.

Last time a showrunner decided to take out my favorite character … yeah okay, Rory wanted to leave the show, which lets face it was a very smart idea considering the train wreck CSI: Miami became … surprise solar eclipse my ass … oh wait that would be the ranting on stupid ass showrunners and writers.

Sorry I got distracted.

Last time my favorite character died in a stupid premise (because he obviously didn’t learn his lesson about cleaning his gun after he got shot the first time) Sylum was born.

12 Years later, I find myself in a similar predicament.

I’m looking at you Person of Interest.

Don’t get me wrong the actors were amazing, even with the bad premise, they broke your heart – cause they are good at their jobs.  Writers not so much.  And don’t even give me the bullshit that this was always how they intended to end the show.

Bullshit.

Calling it.

Bullshit.

And since I’m usually the one who gets the calls to FIX-IT! after the showrunners fuck up our favorite series … I’m finding myself once again snagging characters and saving them from the stupidity!

Person of Interest – you had so much potential and so much of it was wasted.

Two amazing characters that deserve so much more than they got.  So we gave them tickets for the Sylum Bus.  The dog and detectives snuck on board along with them.   There has also been many AU story ideas running around – The Dragon series already has a few stories posted.  You have no idea how long it’s been since I’ve had other story ideas/series/fics running around – outside of Sylum.

I’m horrified, awed, and buried under fluff.

As for Sylum.  We had the whole timeline figured out, built backgrounds, even wrote their wiki page until one of them decided to kneecap their bio and demanded a different background.  Thank you very much, John Reese.  Take a lesson from Harold who graciously accepted his timeline, then promptly inserted himself into everything he could, via The Machine.

We’ve hinted at some of the story ideas a few times … and I think one of you figured it out.

So let me introduce to you:

Edmond Dantès – The Count of Monte Cristo … aka John Reese

Remember those wonderful snippets you read over Advent – well most aren’t going to turn out like we expected … cause Count over here kneecapped his storyline and we’ve had to adjust a few of them.

He’s still a Meridius and we all know what Meridii do when they get a tiny thread of a story.  Pointedly looks at Nico – who still hasn’t shut the fuck up in the middle of Clan War… cause only he could pull off a Flashback in a Flashback with added sex.

Just to be an awful tease … their will be a snippet from the first story in the upcoming POI Series during Seven Days.

And for an added bonus – keep an eye out on The General’s Office … I’m really really good with AUs  – no really I am, shocking I know –  expect to see a few new stories in upcoming weeks, in between Clan War, Sylum stories, and trying not to melt in this heat.
