Am binging on TV shows atm cos shortly I'm going to have to drop fandom for three weeks to write uni assignments. Annnnnnny day now.

Felt rotten yesterday so lay on the couch and watched the entire season of The New Normal, which is an absolutely adorable sitcom about a gay couple who want to have a baby and their found family.


Also, I was super excited to discover that a show I really like has a new season and dl'd the first ep and waited for Jody to get home and proudly put it on for her and... the main character was MURDERED in the first five minutes. I do like the replacement they brought in but...will miss the quirky dynamic they had.

NEW SEASON OF MISFITS HAS STARTED . *runs about flailing*

*runs about flailing some more*

Honestly, for reals, up there in my top shows ever, for originality, great writing, great characters, fantastic everything!!!!


( Because somebody asked me yesterday, shows I'm into: an update )

I was going to ask if anyone was going to tape The Chasers tonight, as Dragonfly is currently studying in the lounge room and also, I am snuggled up comfily in bed, but then I figured if they can make the effort to bust APEC security wide open then I can make the effort to turn the telly on. I will even resist the advance footage.

I love articles about 'mixed responses'. Somehow they always overwhelmingly favour whatever side I'm NOT on. Clearly I should actually be making my vote count.

Is it just me or does the weather guy on the AbC look like he's overdosed on NO-Doze after staying up all night playing *Insert latest computer game*?

WE have crazy wiggly lines on channel 2 since we boycotted foxtel. *is sad*


Also, tony abbott is a loony person.

Haven't been watching much since I got home, been busy with work, family, and of course, catching up on all the SGA fics I'd missed.**

However, last night all that changed! I was pimped to.

1. Sinchronicity. http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/sinchronicity/episodes.shtml. Episode 2... The scene where handsome doctor Mani drags Jase into an empty corridor and snogs him senseless won my heart!

2. Heroes.http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/ Episodes 1-2. OMG. WHY HAS NOBODY MADE ME WATCH THIS ALREADY??? Excellent beginning, can't wait to see more! And because I'm shallow, Mohinder is hothothot, and also I know Adrian Pasdar (Nathan Petrelli) from something and it's driving me nuts no I didn't watch Mysterious Ways unless I did but NO memory also he is hot in a Scott Bakula way and also, when the Petrelli brothers hug? I am holidaying in the Special Hell.

3. Blade. Random episode. Watchable. Nuff said.

4. Respectable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respectable_(TV_series) Episode 1. Amusing. But apparently 'Eaves, a London-based feminist charity, has set up an online petition against the show, which it labels as "a gross misrepresentation of the lives of women involved in prostitution".'

5. Psych. http://www.usanetwork.com/series/psych/theshow/characterprofiles/shawn/index.html Episode 1. Laughed and LAUGHED. Want more. Also, if anyone knows where I can find the songvid to 'Accidently in Love' I would be grateful. And really impressed!


Am now totally in the mood to obsessively watch tv shows. Here I come, Supernatural! Friday Night Lights! Heroes! Studio 60! All the SGA eps I've missed!

But not right now, cos the internet is SHINY. And then I will go to work.




**Except for two days where a link had sent me to a page of Smallville fics I had to read obsessively.

5. I had more listy things but am so tired one eye was glued shut so I was giving up and going to bed but then my cat decided to bait me by banging my door til I let her in then refusing to come in so I went and got the Water Spray Bottle and the WAR IS ON. So far. Me 2. Cat 0.

6. So then I was just going to secretly keep going with the last post but someone had commented and I think there's like, an unwritten rule or something.

7. I don't have any idea how this relates to my intense focus on slash, but I LOVE male/female friendships that aren't 'omg the ust it's true wuv!!!' Which is one of the reasons I hold Special Unit 2 in high regard. That and the well written dialogue! *glares* What? ANYWAY, which is why JD and Elliot getting together made me CRANKY. Luckily, they split up! All within a 30 minute episode! So then i didn't mind, cos friends fuck up. I am really, really hoping that they can get their old friendship back, and do not spend the next 103 episodes getting jealous of each other and interfering in potential relationships...

8. Dr Cox is THE MAN. I hope they forget the whole 'unrequited love' thing, it's pathetic and cliched.

9. Cute Scrubs fic - http://runpunkrun.livejournal.com/166133.html?view=1920501#t1920501

My pimp came over the other night. *g*

Veritas - Was shown random episode of this show about ancient artifact hunters *cough* or maybe it was religious relics hunters, but it has the guy who played Imotep and he's surprisingly hot in this and the ep had these adorable Buddhist Monks..anyhow, we have eps now if anyone's interested.

Bronski and Bernstein. German show, cop gets a new partner, boss' son who is predictably brash and annoying, but the guys are cute and the pilot episode had such promising scenes as the two of them waking up in bed together only wearing boxers, and the flashy one fessing up that his supermodel girlfriend is just 'a buddy' that he's NOT sleeping with. Promisingly slashy. We have some eps.

*deep breath* Now let me talk about EYES. A lot. So there's this guy, Harlan. And he runs this detective agency.

*lots of deleting later* Apparently I can't describe this show for shit. Obviously, I have to show it to people. Oh the sacrifices I make...

Am I supposed to be getting lj comments emailed at the moment or not? I got an email programme running last night and it downloaded all my emails but nothing from lj, and I know I was just talking to vegetariansushi and yet, still nada. *sigh*

Also, got pimped introduced to two new shows last night, Dante's Cove and Wonderfalls, so if anyone wants to come over and watch them you're most welcome.

Aannd another promise to myself to sit down and make a work-related post turns into...not...


It's like, when there's this show that you watch when you're home, which isn't often cos you're usually say, WORKING, on the night it's on, and it's a good show, and it has a WOMAN in the lead role, and she's a really cool character and actually when you do watch it you think you should really make more of an effort cos it's worth it, and then ...OMG COLD CASE TONIGHT!!

It was all about a teenage love story set in the 1930's and Prohibition, and there's bootlegging and a speakeasy and a black girl who dresses in men's clothes, and an innocent white girl and they risk everything to be together and there's beautiful love poetry and slow dancing in public and of course it all ends in TRAGEDY.

And it was so beautiful and I was in TEARS.


And of course nobody taped this, did they?


*wonders if she can justify buying an entire series of a show for one episode*
