sarrenBorrowed s1 Dead Zone the other day, my entire DZ experience so far consisting of the original book, the Christopher Walken movie, and a vague recollection of having watched the pilot years ago on telly. Oh, and Speranza's and Shalott's fics.
Me - Yay, you have come over to watch Dead Zone with me!

zebra363 - I have no recollection of this. I want to watch a movie.
Two hours of Korean transvestites later
Me - Now can we watch Dead Zone?
Zebra - Oh, ALL RIGHT. But only one episode, it's getting late and I'm working ALL DAY tomorrow.
Pilot episode finishes
Us - AARGH. Must watch the next episode RIGHT NOW.
Second episode finishes
Zebra - I think we should watch one more episode.
Half way through next episode
Zebra - We could watch this ALL NIGHT.
Episode ends
Zebra *looks hopeful*
Me - Go away now. No really. GO HOME.
Why my New Shiny is the Best Thing Ever.
1. FOUR complete seasons already and is still going strong.
2. Slashy from the first episode - this can only get better.
3. Actually appears to be a GOOD show.
4. Best of all, having a friend to watch it with who is just asfannish crazy in love enthusiastic as I am.
