Oooh we have so many things in common. From new shows to old shows (oh Joey/Pacey! How much I miss them. I admit I was too old when DW aired, but I watched it anyway. ^^' J/P are one of my favorite pairings ever. TXF is my first fandom and one of my first OTP, I'll never forget them I grew up watching that show though admittedly it went downhill in the last few seasons...and LOL I'm still inside a parenthesis). And you used to watch JAG, too? Me too, me too. SCC was great. \o/

Another show I used to watch and love and is The pretender. Oh the UST was delicious, plus there was the whole chase thing that made it all better. ^^

Dead like me (it's a must-watch. Funny, witty, touching. One of my favorites), Battlestar Galactica (MUST-WATCH OMG! One of the best scifi shows cos it made you think about lots of topics, from politics to philosophy to religion...love it. WEll, the finale was hated with a passion by some and loved by others. I must admit it made me frown. We'll talk about this when you finish it), The west wing (witty, very well written. Another great show), Life on mars, Eureka (oooh so cute. It's fluffy scifi, but the kind that makes you smile and aww. I love it), Supernatural (hee. Eyecandy!)

Prison break was AWESOME during s1 and, ok, even s2, but after that? Hmm. I kept watching out of loyalty, but I wasn't thrilled. It keeps you entertained, that's for sure, and I loved some of the characters. I couldn't bring myself to watch the finale cos I got spoiled and yeah, NOT watching that ever. TBBT was brilliant during s1-2 and IDK, I don't like it much anymore.

I noticed you watched a few Whedon projects, but I didn't see BtVS. Have you ever tried it? I liked it!

Oh I used to be a big procedural fan, but I don't watch them anymore. The only one I still like is Cold Case. Highly recced.

I do love Stargate (sg-1 and sga), but yeah, the science is ridiculous and it's not a well-written universe (plot holes, and lots of other problmes). They were cracktastic which is why I liked them. Also? The fandoms, esp SGA's, were...are wonderful, which is why SGA is actually one of my favorite fandoms. ^^

I'll spare you another fangirly comment about Farscape. :)

Ooh, The Pretender has been on my list to watch since like forever! I jsut haven't gotten around to watching it, will have to soon:)

all the others you mention I really want to watch too <3. there's just never enough time, especially with asian dramas around:)

I actually never really saw Buffy cause I didn't have TV growing up, which makes me sad. And it's kind of low on my list to watch now because it's a bit cheesy and it goes on for forever.

I do love SG-1 - not enough to watch regularly but I love it. And I agree - SG fans are so gloriously sane compared to other fans!!

You should watch Alias and Dark Angel!! The romance in both of those is out of this world. Fringe is good too(and the romance finally kicked in in season 2)

I watched Alias, but I think I dropped it in its last season? *thinks* I don't even remember. I liked the main pairing and the tech guy was hilarious. I don't even remember why I dropped it. Meh. I guess I was just tired of all the double-triple-quadruple agents, you know? I can suspend belief, but there's a limit to what I can stand. When Vaughn turns out he's not actually Vaughn and that Sloan was playing Sydney yet again, I just gave up.

As for Dark Angel, I watched a few eps and I don't know why, but I couldn't get into it too much. I think I stopped watching when she got seriously ill? And they had just admitted they liked each other? Ahh, why all the details are so fuzzy? I liked the universe though.

Fringe. Yet another one I dropped, this one early on, though. I liked Peter and his dad, but the whole show reminded me of Alias AND the X-files, but without that spark that made these classics, well, classics and special. I should probably give it another try. The thing is, I'm kinda wary of JJ Abrams. See Alias and Lost (GOD Lost, don't make me start on that one). Since I'm rather dumb, I usually don't realize when I'm being manipulated, but while I was watching Alias and Lost, esp Lost, I felt like tptb were yanking my chain like ALL the time. I HATE feeling manipulated like that.

Buffy is cheesy now, but it was a wonderful series. There's so much more to it than meets the eye. It surprisingly layered. The fandom was plagued by fandom and shippers wars, but the fics? They were nice. It was my second fandom, the one that actually got me more involved to online activities so yeah, well, it holds a special space in my heart.

Ooh Eureka. I forgot to mention it. I was reccing it to a friend only moments ago because it has talking houses and ROBOTS and wacky experiments gone wrong...it's hilarious. I love it. ^^ It's so...colorful. *g* Let me know if...when...if you watch it. It's so cool!

Come on, doesn't that tempt you? *puppy eyes* Actually this is more tempting, but maybe it's too spoilery so don't watch? IDK.
