HOUSE got more :)s than NCIS! Clearly we have to talk. And your XD to Torchwoood makes me laugh with glee; I am positively clapping my hands over here.
TORCHWOOD! why aren't you online? in fact I'm not convinced that Torchwood isn't actually a very good show, but as advertised I love it far too much to determine this conclusively.
THEN we tried AGAIN when they reran it and our Tivo caught it but something must've been wrong with the cable just then because every 30 seconds the sound would cut out for five seconds or so.
There would be much with the appreciation if you could share. I may not even need the whole thing - we can still catch what they show on Sundance (if we aren't cursed again) but it doesn't look like they're showing the first episode again.
Thank you so very, very much! Squee!
Though maybe I'll just watch the last episode of Doctor Who again. Because that *was* better.
And I really have to get around to watching BSG... :)
and you need a rating symbol for 'brothers doing it!' *g*
I have a confession to make: I have come to hate Peter Petrelli LIKE BURNING. he is a creature made of PURE EMO. our new slogan is "Kill the Manpain, Save the World." the only character I hate more than him is Mohinder.
I want to see your Peter haircut, though!
Also, Peter Petrelli hair is *gone* like something that has really, really gone. ;) I now have Olivia circa season 3 hair - but it's already growing out... *sigh* needs another cut.
omg I want to see THAT hair! so butch!
I am *so* butch. ;)
Heroes is like stabbing yourself in the eye with a hot fire iron.
Still haven't watched: Rome or BSG. No TV love in my life, ever since Veronica Mars broke my heart by jumping the shark so early :( I've started watching...Reality tv. ew.
The last west wing episode is finally airing in australia this saturday. ha.
I'm glad there's somebody else who dislikes Heroes! George and Callie needs to end desperately, so I'm all for Izzie and George. and Callie and Addison!
on the planetin britain who'd ever heard of it. (And yes, I know you're not in britain, but I tend to forget people elsewhere have different viewing experiences!)Also, I am sad you do not like Heroes as much as me. For it has Hiro and Hiro is awesome. But I forgive you as my love for it is quite possibly based more on my love of comic books - and it being the only show I have someone else to watch with who likes it as much as I do - than the actual quality level of the show.
if Heroes could be ONLY about Hiro/Ando and Nikki/Jessica, I would love it MADLY. but the other 80% suffers from the Lost syndrome of being entirely driven by insufferable men.
Interestingly, usually my way of getting into a TV show is a character I love. Even though I was always a fan of Hiro, for a long time, I didn't really like Heroes for that. Weirdly, I liked it for the everything-is-connected plot. Which was cheesy, but...in a good way, I guess. ;) I think that's why I don't blog about it much. There's not quite enough character love because...well, see women in refrigerators. And not enough Hiro.
Also, Lost. Ugh. ;)
Veronica Mars is a whole different problem -- mostly that I found Veronica sort of Mary Sue-ish (too perfect). after much soul-searching I realized that I prefer my teen girls innocent and vulnerable (there are very few teen dramas that I CAN watch, however -- mostly just the lesbian ones).
I'm put off of Friday Night Lights for the obvious reasons, but so many people I know LOVE it that I'm sure I'll be persuaded to watch it at some point.
mmmmm, TV...
and I know I've said it before but it's worth repeating. I love your hatred of manpain. there should be more people like us in the world.
