I'm about this close to being Internet obnoxiousness personified by starting to comment on every entry that uses the fake cut wrong. If you don't know what a cut is? You might not want to attempt a fake cut.

And FYI, a fake cut does not equal a link.

( This? This is a fake cut. )

This is not.

(Nor is this.)

( Or even this. )

Well, it took ( Read more... )

ranting is an underrated art form, tv: project runway, dvd sets, work, tv: prison break, dl-ing, teevee

It sucks that 'Gilmore Girls' is in your * list, but I guess after last season, all bets are off.

PS: The pilot for Justice was nice. High tech fluffery with enough smarts in it to make it interesting. Plus, Victor Garber, which won't mean much to you if you're not into Alias (I can't remember all the fandoms right now) but it is a great actor.

& I want Jeffrey gone from the show. He's just too... I don't know. But I want him out.

Yeah, I wasn't even that happy with the end of season 5, so 6 was almost like the nail in the coffin. I don't even think I'm going to download it at all, just see what my flist says. I think that if the show sucks it will probably much more bearable in large chunks, so I could watch five episodes in a row and thus quickly end the agony.

I did watch Alias! In fact, I've translated almost every episode and am in the middle of translating one of the last few right now. And I enjoyed Justice and think I'll continue watching it for the SpyDaddy factor alone, at least for a while.

Jeffrey hasn't bothered me completely before now because I think he has a modicum of talent even if his clothes are not at all what I like, but winning and still whining? So not a winning combination. He's definitely not as good as he thinks he is.

I think they kept him last time around namely for the conflict with Angela that was bound to ensue after the Family Edition. I don't believe they kept him so much for his designs but rather for the drama that could possibly happen from him staying. And I hate that he whined after everything. You won. Get over yourself and be happy for once.

& I just took a look at your icons (I stole a few, by the way) and yes, Alias was there. 'Justice' seems nice, and I was surprised they showed how the crime really happened at the end of the episode. It's a serialized drama on FOX, so I can stand to watch it without the pain of cancellation looming over its head. That's why I've decided to stay away from new unestablished shows with season long arcs on that network. It's best, really.

Oh no, not FOX! I was just ranting about them in my reply to the comment below yours. But, as you say, best to stick to the serialized dramas when it comes to that network. I also liked the reenactment of the crime and I can't wait to see the ones where the client isn't as innocent. I was almost thinking we'd see that here because it looked rather sinister to start with. I was sure that it would turn out that she had hit her head, but that he'd come out and seen her unconscious and pushed her into the pool so she'd drown.

I wish I had a SpyParent icon, they're really my favorite part about the show. And they're so pretty!

Jeffrey's bitchy whining about how he should have been entitled to a lot more wins grates like nothing else. He's definitely not all that good, at least not if you consider what the show is. It's high fashion, basically, and Jeffrey makes rock 'n' roll costumes. He just doesn't have that indefineable something that can transform him into a PR winner.

I bought the account the other day. I'm pretty much all done with the fandoms on my icons, but there's still a few open spaces left. I might add one of Jack with Irina. Not to mention Will. Ahhh. I need more icon space.

And I saw you asking before: the Emmy's started at 8pm and ended at (exactly) 10:57pm. I remember because there were three minutes left and I was waiting to see what they'd do with Bob Newhart.

By the way, did you get the BSG Season 2 DVD as a complete season or half and half (US edition)? I'm thinking of buying it from Amazon.uk simply because I don't want to have two separate boxed sets for the show. One collective is better, in my opinion.

I find it pathetic that I have 127 icon spaces and I usually only have one space open (for symmetry's sake) and have a really hard time deleting. Not to mention the fact that about half of them are VM icons and some of my fandoms, like BSG and Project Runway, aren't even represented!

Thanks for the info. Guess I'll see how much they've edited it down to, two hours in three days is kind of a lot to translate.

I got the complete season 2 (as far as I know the second half of season 2 isn't even out yet in region 1). I don't mind several boxes, I just bought this one because it was the earliest release, and most likely the cheapest in the long run.
