watching more again

a bit more, at least... and here i am again letting you know just in case you want to come over and watch with me... i mean, someday we'll be old and have little more energy than needed for tv watching... or maybe we'll break a leg together (grumbles) or some such fun... between playing the game (ncaa football, i mean, where have you been?)... monday nights sci-fi (being human and lost girl, not top favs, but occasionally interesting enough to keep me coming back when i remember and am here) and tuesday nights ncis mostly... and now, eureka is back, though as i mentioned, disappointing so far... ncis reruns occupy the background more than anything mostly because i enjoy the characters and some interesting plot lines for a cop show, still, mostly the characters... the mentalist and stargate:sg1 falls in there too... reruns, mostly... relating to characters is what attracts me most to tv shows... not just for the visual cuteness or libido, interactions that seem like genuine trust and caring is very appealing to the part of me who enjoys imaginary friends...

what?... you don't have imaginary friends? :)

so many missed moments here

in the land of tv, background tv mostly, but still tv... tonight i watched eureka and was once again disappointed in the recycled storyline and lack of imagination and lame desperate grasp for plot by adding pandering to paranoia with sinister secret big brother controls, terminator, independence day, and as far back as brave new world and so many other stories told this so much better... it was bound to happened, they basically told us they ran out of imagination when they suddenly announced the show's cancellation at the end of the fourth season... so little in the human mind beyond sex and violence and paranoid conspiracies...

wish someone would put a series together based on heilein, bradbury, asimov, and others...

what are you watching lately?

friday night crisis

there used to be friday night crisises, but i don't have easy access to the friday night listings at the moment so this post will be like a kind of placeholder (as the others may be as well)... i recall dollhouse on fridays and there was eureka until this week and there is haven for the moment, but the other shows are not coming to mind so alas, no great dramatic crisis for fridays for now...

stay tuned, or something like that (snurf :)

eureka!

well, not so much, at least not as all fired up excited as an exclamation point is supposed to be, but i do enjoy the theme and some of the story lines and most of all, the possibilities in the show, even though this throw-back season is not my favorite theme cuz it adds a bit too much (ok, way too much) soap opera type human drama to an otherwise quirky sci-fi techno-geek bit of fun... it did, however, bring me back to writing a few words supposedly inspired by, what else, background tv :)

watching, not much

though the tv is on a lot, i am not watching much except to glance up and sort of follow the re-runs listed in catching up on the revised lists on the left... though this week i caught the first new episodes of eureka and warehouse 13 and will probably catch those in first run cuz they are on at least a half dozen times a week and in free on-demand... i don't stay awake for craig as much, but can find him on youtube... wonder if he is on free on-demand too... actually, i am watching/listening to audio and video on youtube a lot more than on tv... anyway, since you are so fascinated by my tv viewing habits (is your name neilson?), i've revised the lists on the right and continue reporting just for you... and for me too, posterity, and the one, but until they get here it's just for you :)
