three-pete?

i think i missed last week, maybe, but watching dr who (and clara too, which is my new name for it because the primary reason i want to watch is because she is terribly adorable, even though her outfits make no sense, i mean, wearing a print one-piece jumper {short yet a prim collar} on a space ship and running around and jumping and falling and never once does the dress rise above her thigh?... what an illogical physical visual... probably quite titillating to the victorian subconscious... personally, i'd rather see what she's got on underneath and they really should film the shower scenes too, but hey, at least obey the laws of physics sometimes, ya know?) this week secured the lust the new companion inspires, which will keep me catching episodes whenever i am home... it's not just libido that is interested, but she just has that look that is indescribably delicious to me... it's the way she does unconditional trust, few people can truly show that in their face, acting or in real life, and she can... the storyline of who clara is still intrigues and now and then the writers reach for new ideas, so it's sci-fi worth watching even without the eye candy... but that face, well, another one who's too far out of reach... someday, again, i will find a face in the real world that does that to me...

and it was all just background tv, huh? lol lam :)

and then there's orphan black... the star is more eye candy in multiple flavors, that is, personalities and dress styles... she shows much more body which lets libido put her body ahead of dr who's companion, but though she's cute, she's not got that certain adorableness that would have me chasing a chance to look into her eyes... am i still going on about jenna?... sheesh, i've got to get out more...

meanwhile, the conspiracy against the clones idea can get played out if they are not extremely clever... there's way too much paranoid conspiracy theories in the world right now, i don't need them in my fiction or sci-fi... but i'll keep watching for now cuz i am starting to care about the character (weird, i know, but tell me you don't care about some tv characters?... if you don't well, what the heck you doing here?)...

speaking of pete, though, warehouse 13 is due back next week, right?...

be good out there :)

keeping up much?

ah, the ultimate (penultimate?... is that a writer's ultimate?... pen, ya see) question... yes, to the new shows in the background on tv that have me looking up to watch more than usual are the new dr. who because eye candy works to get my attention and the mystery of the meaning behind the girl twice dead is intriguing enough to keep me interested and orphan black has eye candy and the mystery of who all these clones are (yeah, they let it slip way too early that this was a clone story and not a multiple personality story... it would have been much much better if they kept that mystery going longer... and if they can find their way back to it kind of in a sixth sense way, well, that would be sweet... it helps that bbc puts these shows on a lot, especially in the middle of the night when nothing else is on, but the eye candy and potential story line has me looking for it...

there are other shows i look and i'll update the sidebar eventuall, but these two lead the way for the moment... what are you watching, almost watching, lostening to, or whatever? :)

bbc tv

dr. who and orphan black... and kind of sort of the nerdist,,, first eye catching thought is the eye candy... definitely enough to draw me back, especially when there are multiple choices to watch (twice on saturday nights and hopefully continuing on thursday nights or other times during the week as well)...

so there is jenna louise coleman definitely providing a face (and type) that can appeal to libido and then there is orphan black with lead character tatiana maslany who provides a right body type (nude scenes, no less... libido says thank you very much) so the bbc two shows will be on my radar and hopefully provide a lot more than eye candy as characters and stories develop... cloning or dissociative disorder or both, it takes some good acting and writing to keep character and story line continuity... so thanks bbc... even if the girls don't stop by the house, i hope for fun watching...

pity the promos already blew the mystery before the story actually got started...

and then there's the doctor... this paragraph might come off as egocentric, but truth is truth whether you believe it or not... it's eerie, actually... not this part: at first it took a long time for me to actually start watching dr who and admittedly, i thought the show was too cheesy with plastic effects, to enjoy (hey. i grew up on american television, what else do you want to know)... but then, after watching the more recent incarnations of the stories for a while, mostly through the last few series of doctors/companions, (oh, this is the eerie part): i found the connection to my own life experience uncanny... i mean, i am the doctor in the sense that i adopt someone the way he does, i guard someone, attempt to save someone when circumstances rise, and i wander alone, separate, apart from humans... i just don't have a tardis or infinite resources or a magic screwdriver like the doctor does... yeah, i know, unbelievable... you'd have to know my real life story to understand (or believe) the similarities...

never know what might be discovered in background television, aye? :)

harry knew... and then, even more eerie, there is amy... sigh...

in any case, all about me aside, anybody notice they used a musical phrase from beauty and the beast to suggest romantic awakening in the doctor in this incarnation of the doctor-companion story?... there is something there that wasn't there before :)

cute funny

glancing up at the tv as i scanned through the late night talk circuit i found myself, not for the first time lately, torn between craig, jimmy, and jimmy... dave always trumps jay, just cuz jay's personality is not funny (both have egos a bit too big for themselves, but dave sits on his better)... nobody is johnny, but jimmy fallon is adorable funny and jimmy kimmel is surprisingly funny and craig, well, craig is is craig and besides being ridiculous, he's juvenile funny... tonight vanessa hudgens and selena gomez were on different shows and besides being masters of smoking hot innocence, selena is actually funny (or at least she goes along with funny scripts really well)... the song she and fallon did should get more play... so eye candy and humor was fun background tv tonight...

see, there could be a background tv entry almost every night if i was so moved to record my reaction to whatever is on the tv when i glance up at the plasma screen... aren't you glad i'm not so moved? lol lam laa latv :)

mostly sports

it's time for the ncaa basketball tournament, so games play in the background... and the world baseball classic as well... and the nba is winding down... and baseball is not far off... and lots more, but i forget... not working, i am home a lot and the daytime background tv is a catch-up marathon on ncis, the mentalist, castle, psych, and other shows... each have either character i enjoy or eye candy i enjoy or both... meanwhile, the monday night syfy remains hot and cold, mostly ridiculous storylines, but being without much else to do i remain curious to see just how the writers will work through the forced drama and illogical plots they twist...

tv mostly bores me, but it's ok for background noise...

monday night syfy

so i put the computer aside and sat and watched continuum, being there, and lost girl and disappointment times three is my first reaction... alas, the minds of humans bore me... start with continuum... i really expect so much from that word, it was bound to disappoint, but really, revamped sliders and time cops? (there's another show too, i just am not thinking of it at the moment)...

corporations take over the world (that's real life today, not science fiction, by the way) and a group of rebels (that would be the 99%, most of the audience) wants to bring power back to the people (freedom, liberty, equality, ya know?) and the heo of the show is a beautiful woman dressed in skin tight latex (of course) who, in her noble effort to prevent the rebels from going back in time to change the future and restore liberty, equality, and freedom (still good ideas, so why are they the bad guys?), gets sent back in time to 2012 with them and she connects with the mastermind (as a bot) who appears to have created the corporate technological big brother society of 2077... either this show was created by ultra right wing corporate megalomaniacs or there's gonna be a plot twist wherein our heroine wakes up to the ideals of freedom, equality, and liberty and does something to change the kid-who-will-be-king's mind... there's always hope...

still, it is presents as a basic good vs evil cop show and the pilot showed very limited imagination...

and then there comes the new season of being there... sad that so much angst needs to be poured into a vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost because they want so much to just be human as if being human was something to idealize and strive for... even worse than star trek's data, cuz at least data was intelligent enough to know he was far superior to humans and did not have the capacity for the stupid angsts humans create in their own minds... emotions are so potentially wonder, why humans turn them into nightmares is a sad reflection on the limits most choose to place on their minds... so being there looks like it's going to stay sadly pathetic...

and then there is lost girl... again, the over-regurgitation of the good vs evil theme with the visual of needy anorexia trying to be macho and sexy... it reminds me a little too much of buffy and i just don't find the whole anything different must be evil thought process humans seem to love appealing... imagine a different species who was peaceful, friendly, and enlightened... goodness, what a threat they would be to our anger-addicted fear-driven war-dependent culture...

ok, so i am biased against human stupidity, prejudice, and small minds... feel free to show me the benefits and pleasures of those mind-sets and i will happily thank you for enlightening me...

firefly and serenity

it is the year 2517... firefly was born and was cancelled, but it would not die... and i stayed awake a lot later than is wise on a work night to watch the 10 year reunion for two primary reasons... the first, i loved the show... and the second, libbo candy... each one of the women on the show turned me on in different ways on different levels, but four were serious food for libbo (libido) and two of the top twenty people libbo enjoys looking at and then there's summer glau and she is one of those faces and styles and giggles that will bring me to want to watch anything she does (at least ten people do that to libbo and if you want to know more, see here... Joss Whedon is one of the sci-fi geniuses and in spite of his trollop into vampire killing and the whole vampire story, his mind is fascinating... i'd like to play board games with him and wil wheaton and a few other people, so the whole attraction to this story is not just for eye candy, it's for brain candy too... even though it barely broke even at the box offive, it still has a following at comicom... and the fan base remains loyal and may still be growing... so much more can be written for so many reasons... perhaps someday...

new eye candy

as amazingly attractive her wide eyed sultry lips may be, my first impression is that she is a very poor choice for psychiatrist for haven or anywhere, especially when the writers do not appear to have a clue about how much mental discipline and intelligence and insight it takes to become a psychiatrist - not to mention the out of character insecurity of bragging about the universities that provided the degrees and appearing to be threatened by social workers - and breaking patient confidentiality was the last straw, if you follow the continuity of realistic thought here, but then, what do i know, i might have a ten pound tumor in my head instead of a brain, or in each kidney, for that metter, and another five pounder in my neck that not even obama's health plan would cover cuz it's not really a tumor but glands not of this world (robert klein would understand, heinlein, adams, king, maybe even asimov and bradbury, but anyway) rarely does sci-fi (or syfy, for that matter) go after the intellectual sci-fi enthusiast these days, what with all the scare tactics (ghosts, spookies, paranormals, ufos, not to mention wrestling) selling so well to the mases, so don't go telling me i don't know what i am talking about unless you do, or something like that... did i mention that the additional eye candy makes haven rise on the list of shows i want to catch when i can?...

nfl is over
