Telly Catch-Up
May. 7th, 2009 05:02 pmI’ve not been about much lately – I’m really tired, and all the stuff that’s going on with my job at the moment is stressing me out to the extent that it’s practically the only thing on my mind right now.
That said though, being so bloody tired has meant that rather than working (much) the last couple of evenings, I’ve managed to catch up with some of the shows I’ve been watching.
( Fringe )
( Dollhouse )
( and the rest )
I’m compiling a list of shows to catch up on when the ones I’m watching currently go off air. I have the second half of season 2 of Life to watch. I’m really sad that isn’t being renewed, because it’s a great show. A cop show, yes, but Damian Lewis is fabulous in it, and the writing is excellent. I was thinking I might try Mad Men again and maybe Reaper (which I know has been canned, but I can manage to find time to watch 2 seasons of something!) Lie to Me with Tim Roth is starting here next week, so I might give that another go as well. Oh, and a lot of people here rave about Chuck so maybe I’ll try that. Or is there anything else out there you think is more worthy of my attention ;-)

Telly rambles ...
Mar. 23rd, 2008 08:52 pmI watched Life on Mars last night - the West Wing episode, not the BBC series! and I was surprised by how much it got to me. I haven't seen that episode for a while, and I'd forgotten how much of an emotional punch it packs. When the screen faded to black I sat there almost stunned - despite the fact I've seen it and I knew what was going to happen in advance. I can't explain it really.
Also, I guess knowing that S5 isn't far away and that the summary butchering of the characters I came to know and love is about to happen casts a bit of a shadow over the end of S4.
Not that I'm an inveterate S5 hater. Of course there are things seriously wrong with it, especially at the beginning. I mean, Leo is practically unrecognizable; the way he bawled out CJ in whatever episode it was makes me cringe and want to scream. And don't get me started on Josh. And Donna. And Will! I loved S4 Will, but boy, did they screw him up.
But it wasn't all bad. Okay, so the resolution to the kidnapping was highly unsatisfactory, I still don't get the point of The Stormy Present and Full Disclosure was just - uh - to mis-quote Sorkin, forty-two minutes of my life I'll never get back. But we also got Abu Al Banat, The Supremes, Talking Points and the Gaza episodes.
I shall attempt to watch Jefferson Lives without throwing things ;-)

Mar. 7th, 2008 07:46 pmI was going to post this last night, but by the time I'd finished working and other stuff, I was knackered, hence the delay.
Anyway... Ashes to Ashes.
