All Tv Talk!!
So seeing as how I'm supposed to be spending all my time on dissertation writing this summer, naturally I've been watching more tv than ever *sigh* This dissertation is just doomed! I'm just aiming at handing something in on September 1st, I don't even care about grades anymore. I just have to have 12.000 words at that point or else I would have to postpone graduation for a full year!
Anyways, I digress...
So it's been the time of discovering new (old) tv shows and so far my favorite has to be Modern Family. You guys, I did not think this would be a show I would enjoy! I guess I just always thought it was similar to Curb Your Enthusiasm or Arrested Development, you know those type of shows that make you feel so awkward that it's painful to watch. Well I hate shows like that and Modern Family is nothing like that! It's just so sweet and cute and fluffy and funny and happy. It is definitely my new happy place right now. I love ALLLLLLLL the characters THIS much!
Other shows I've discovered are White Collar and Hawaii Five-0. I instantly liked White Collar from the first episode I watched and I devoured the first two seasons in no time. Really enjoy the chemistry between Neal and Peter. It took me a little bit longer to really enjoy Hawaii Five-O. At first it was just too similar to every other cop show working on a case-by-episode and I wasn't really feeling it. But by the time I got to like the 10th episode or so I got into it. I enjoy the relationship between Steve and Danny even though I would never ship them really. I just do not find Scott Caan sexy at all. Maybe it's because I couldn't stand his character on Entourage even though it was just a character. Same reason why I HATE Seth Green now and refuse to watch anything with him in because of his "character" on Entourage. HATED him. And I know he wasn't acting himself even though it was supposed to be the real Seth Green but the damage is done. He did it probably too well and now I hate him.
Another show that I've discovered recently is Castle and I've just finished the first season. I like it a lot and I think that 100% because of Nathan Fillion. He's brilliant in it and just so likable. I don't really love the girl lead but I think that's mainly because she's so bland. The show reminds me a lot of Bones for some reason.
Anyways, then there have been new new shows that have started during this summer that I'm already loving, like Teen Wolf, Falling Skies, Necessary Roughness, Suits and Wilfred.
Teen Wolf reminds me a lot of Vampire Diaries, there are some similarities and it's not as good as VD but it's keeping me entertained until VD starts again :P Falling Skies started out really cool but it's been dragging on for a while now with the same storyline and I need some changes. I still find it very cool though! Necessary Roughness has been fun to watch and I really like the main character, the doctor. She's cool. Though her daughter is so obnoxious! But I love all tv/movies that are sport-related and this is kind of like that and so I enjoy it. I'm excited to continue watching it.
Suits is yet another lawyer drama which is something I've never been into but it just seems different. I don't know, I kinda like it. I think that's mainly because of Harvey, I like him :P It's not a show that I love but I'm excited for each new episode. Wilfred... I'm not sure about. Sometimes I find it very funny but other times I'm just scratching my head and thinking "WHAT IS GOING ON?!!" I think it just might be too far out there for me to handle. I don't predict that Wilfred will have a long life on tv. Even though it might have been a huge success in Australia. I don't think it works. When the dog does nice things I'm loving it but when he fucks things up so badly and usually on purpose, I just want to strangle him. I'm not sure that I'll continue watching Wilfred.
And to end this I'll mention two movies I've watched recently and they are Paul and X-Men: First Class. I didn't like either of them. Paul was just NOT funny and X-Men just didn't make any sense and was so loopy and had huge plot-holes. I'm assuming it went through massive editing that just murdered the movie. I did not enjoying at all.
And that's it folks! Longest post I've made in a while! Done with tv rambling for now. And that was just about "new" stuff. I'm not mentioning other things like Pretty Little Liars (LOVE IT!) or True Blood (WTF is going on?) or Top Gear (FAVORITE!) or how incredibly frickin' excited I am about Breaking Bad starting again tonight (asdfghjkl!!).
