really miscellaneous television

[vaznetti]

As usual, I am not dead, just dragging my feet about updating. It's so much easier to read my friends list than to think of something to write -- and the less I write, the more I need to write when I finally do get around to updating. It's like a vicious cycle! And there are so many things to talk about (and I am so behind at work...)

On the televisual front...

I don't know what to do with my Saturday Sunday nights, now that Being Human is over. (I have a non spoilery theory about that show. You know the myth about the Norns, or whoever they are, where there's three of them and they only have a single eye and have to pass it around? Well, Mitchell, Annie and George only have one dose of common sense between the three of them: one of them can exhibit common sense at any given time, but no more than one of them. Exhibit A: pretty much every episode in season 2.)

I have other things to say about Being Human, but they belong in a post of their own, under a cut.

As usual with American shows, I'm more than a step out-of-step. So I am enjoying Glee very much (in part because I've never seen such a collection of horrible people in a single show), and wondering why everyone on my friends list is so enthusiastic about The Good Wife (I saw the first few episodes, and it seemed very by-the-numbers; obviously this changes at some point?) And even though I mean to watch NCIS (only two seasons behind!) somehow I keep forgetting to.

I actually acquired the most recent flashback episode of Supernatural, despite not having seen any of this season or the last. I haven't watched it yet, mind you, but it's on my computer. The next question is: will the desktop melt down before I get around to viewing the episode? I have concerns about that.

And on that bombshell, as they say (and this is a whole 'nother issue, because I totally blame Jeremy Clarkson for the fact that Spartacus' favorite word is "car"), I must go figure out how I managed to lose all my ink pens, and why I still have so many essays to mark for tomorrow.

He's practicing, clearly: subversion, derring-do, and so on. Nobody would think to fear the funnels!

I may have watched theanonsisters' beguiling yet hilarious Festivids entry (http://community.livejournal.com/brokencaps/18535.html) a few times too many and, needing respite from school, sought out the source.

I'm nearly certain it's unbearably silly and not about what the vid suggests at all, but if there are lots of knife-wielding women with superpowers fighting balletically at least once per episode, it may be worth it.
