BOO!

[meganlynn09]

How is everyone? Good? I feel like I'm disappearing. Remember when I made sure to make one post a day? HAHAHA. I should talk more about something.

Like TELEVISION!

Hahaha.

Let's see, Heroes is done, I'm not watching it anymore, I thought I was over Lost, but I'm not because I'm watching it again this season. It's frustrating to me but I CAN'T STOP WATCHING AGAIN.

And disturbed because I think they've killed off a disproportionate amount of women to men and I hate that a lot.

I'm watching too many shows. Although, luckily Psych is done for a while, and BSG is almost over. Sorry, but that's starting to feel like a trainwreck and I'm a little relieved it's almost done. I'm really sorry to say that.

Did I hear correctly that Burn Notice is only a few more episodes? That'll be one less show to record for a while.

Anyone watch The Closer? Because every time I do, I think fuck Jim Halpert, I want a Fritz Howard.

AND, I'm adding Law & Order: UK, because hello, Freema and Jamie.


Jamie's accent! He'll never get to use his own, will he? I heard that this one was a different one than his, but I was actually taken aback a little when I heard him.

I thought this was okay, seemed like a typical pilot (or at least, I assumed this one was the first written (or re-written?) and filmed. It felt like it.

But most of the actors looked comfortable in their characters. I don't like to say it, but Freema was the one that looked hesitant in the role. She'll get into it though.

But Jamie, he was great. He's already got it down, shouldn't be that surprised. But still, it was lovely to see him in this role.

I liked the others too, I'm just not familiar with them as actors.

Definitely looking forward to how this goes. Can't wait to see them on their own though, writing their own scripts.

AND on a shallow note -

Pretty Jamie:


Gorgeous Freema (I love her hair like this):


AND LOOK, THEY SHARED A SCENE WHERE THEY LOOKED AT AND TALKED TO EACH OTHER:



That was useless, heh.

I'm gonna go make homemade chicken noodle soup. YUM.

awwwww Jaimie with his natural accent <3

You don't like BSG so far? I really love it and I'd like to know what you think is a trainwreck. I haven't seen episode 16 so.

[meganlynn09.livejournal.com]

It's adorable :D

I like it, but the trainwreck I'm referring to is ep. 16. You might disagree, but it wasn't expected so close to the end of the series.

[meganlynn09.livejournal.com]

I haven't been watching that, but I've seen it mentioned ALL OVER teh f-list. How much do I have to catch up on?

Yeah, it's a pretty pointed show and I don't see it straying too far from it's American counterpoint. But I'll find a way to get interested!

[meganlynn09.livejournal.com]

Well now I'm in! After the finale episode, of course ;D

I'm so protective of my icons that I can't get rid of them! But yeah, I'm pretty much done with Heroes. It's not like Lost, there is no end game that I can think of.

[boxseat.livejournal.com]

Lost frustrates me too, but definitely not to a level Heroes did back when I watched that. I'm in it till the end, mostly so I can claim that I watched it back in the day when everyone talks about it in the future. Such a lame reason. The Desmond eps are very worth it to me though. ♥

I saw a preview trailer on YouTube of L&O UK and I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that the main narrating voice at the beginning was British instead of the same monotone American guy we have for ours. I wonder if this how British people feel when we steal our own versions of their shows.

[meganlynn09.livejournal.com]

I almost got away from Lost! Last season, but then I got caught up in it this season for some odd reason, and I'm actually a little lost myself because I missed a few last season. Desmond is pretty worth it. :D

OMG, when I watched the episode and it opened with the narration I started to laugh so hard because it sounded so weird to me to hear the British voice instead of the American one. hehe

[meganlynn09.livejournal.com]

Yep! I think they're starting out by borrowing some American scripts and adapting them and then moving on to their own, it's interesting if you're into those shows. Plus, it's fascinating for another reason to see how the British justice system works.

Damn Lost for doing this! I almost got away.

Hmmmm, you list it like that and it almost seems more balanced than I thought. Huh. Maybe it's me, but I think it's 'cause I liked more of the women they killed off than men.

Ummm....House? Hello we are shipping together.

[meganlynn09.livejournal.com]

AH, I knew I forgot something!

Aw, your icon :) That was a lovely moment.

So, what did you think of last night's episode? Shallow, I thought the best scene was Cuddy giving him his job back and House saying Thank You so sincerely.

[kammgirl.livejournal.com]

Yes that scene was perfect. It also cracked me up that everyone was freaking out that House was in a good mood and must be taking heroin. I also loved Wilson and Cuddy's scene. You two had sex. Heh. Poor Cuddy. Did you see her face when he decided to stop taking the meth? He is self destructive, but she continually lays it on the line for him and it always breaks her heart a little.

[meganlynn09.livejournal.com]

Man, it was like GEEZ, why the heroin jump? I got confused for a minute. heh

Oh, that hurt at the end when he did that. He is so self destructive, and all Cuddy (and Wilson) wants is for him to be happy (i.e. painfree). It was so freakin' frustrating, too.

I didn't like this methadone storyline. My mother was on methadone for years (it really is a great painkiller), so their extreme reactions startled me, the schedule and rules Cuddy gave him to come back to the job should have been their initial reaction. Their doom-and-gloom about it bugged me a lot.

I mean, my mom said that all he had to do was lapse once and take one vicodin with one methadone and it'd possibly kill him, but still. Methadone is meant to take you off the destructively addictive drugs, the pain killer in it helps with the withdraw. I don't know, it felt like I was missing something in this episode.

[kammgirl.livejournal.com]

I think they were concerned because House never does things safely. As they said, one misstep and he could stop his heart and House is all about not being safe. But I did find it in character that he would rather be the great Doctor House then live pain free. There was an episode once where a famous jazz musician who was paralyzed ALS was admitted into the hospital. He said something to House along the lines that they were obsessed to the point of being miserable and it was that that made them great. House would rather be great at what he does then be pain free. Cuddy told him he didn't need the pain to be a good doctor and his response was that he wasn't interested in being good. And I think that fits completely into House's character. Just as it did when Cuddy offered him his job back saying they both knew this is where he belonged. She has always done everything in her power, including perjuring herself on the stand to keep him there. And there was wonderful double meaning in that.

[meganlynn09.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I think I needed reminded like this. Because there's something so obvious about it. But I was so distracted by what are they really saying about this drug my mom took for years instead of what are they showing me about House (or reaffirming).
