quarter_to_fiveBlakes 7, eps 1-2: Admittedly, this is something of a chore, in some ways, (it really is very, very ugly, isn't it? And, truth be told, I often find ugliness kind of interesting. But this really needed at least, like, a decent lightbulb just to start with.) but there are also upsides. It's absolutely amazing how much livelier the thing becomes when Vila, Jenna or Avon finally make an appearance. Suddenly it's something i'm really watching, and not just vaguely looking at. I also like how the lawyer's girlfriend (wife? Whatever?) immediately just joined him in his quest without any arguing or or anything. That was just refreshing. Also, "I am going to The Computer." Lol, ok, i'll definitely try to keep watching.
Sarah Connor Chronicles is the most perfectest show ever in the history of ever. I mean, seriously. All the thematic stuff that is going to be so important later on? It's right there in season 1, all over the place. I also really have a soft spot for season 1 and the messy psuedo-family dynamics that they have in that old, autumney house there. (What happened in season 2? They seem to have moved climate zones, not just across town or something. Suddenly it's all sunshine and bright green lawns.) I always feel a tad guilty fixating on him in a show so interested in it's female characters and in the roles they have, but, man, I have a hell of a soft spot for Derek in S1, his wonder and his horror.
There's the "give me a topic and i'll write about it in December" meme, and i've had quite a bit of fun today picking topics for other people, so in that spirit, on the off chance someone will bite. Give me a topic and a day and i'll write about it. Anything: books, TV, personal, political (...If I can, probably references to all 4 on virtually any given topic.)
