(no subject)
Having just seen the first episode of Psych: yeah, so, I'm doomed. At least this one has comparatively short seasons. Also, hey, it's Cutthroat Bitch! She's pretty. Her partner is not so pretty. Shawn is very pretty, even if he has a big nose. Actually he kind of looks like angsty Wesley, only without the angst. And the accent. And pretty much everything else that made Wesley Wesley, except for the tendency to know stuff that comes in handy for saving the day. I have decided, for entirely understandable and possibly prescient reasons, that Psych is the anti-Dead Zone; instead of a psychic who lives in Maine and works with the police and his black best friend, all of whom trust him absolutely, we have a guy who pretends to be a psychic and lives in California where he works with the police and his black best friend, none of whom trust him at all. Also so far Shawn has very few vendettas against political candidates destined to destroy the country, and he seems pretty happy. Also: no illegitimate children. These are very important things, I am sure.
In addition to kind-of-accidentally watching the first episode of Psych (I put the first season on our Netflix queue a long time ago, because I couldn't find a torrent for it, but I forgot about it, until the first disc came in the mail today and I decided what the hell), I've been getting rather heavily into the Sarah Jane Adventures, because it is like Doctor Who only with less dying and more middle-aged ladies kicking ass. (It helps that the episodes are only 26 minutes long and there are only ten of them.) It is nice to see a show in which one does not have to place a great deal of emotional involvement; I can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the cheesy kids-show dialogue. Plus the middle-aged lady kicking ass. And the occasional references to UNIT. I hear tell that UNIT will be involved in the fourth season of Doctor Who, and Sarah Jane actually mentions calling the Brig, so: I need to watch more classic!Who episodes featuring that particular gang, which is of course why I have started acquiring episodes from well before that; I've got The Very First Episode of Doctor Who Ever, and another one from One, and I think one from Two. My education: impending.
I've also got the pilot of Sarah Connor Chronicles waiting for me, and I am hearing vaguely good things about it, even though this is the show that yanked Zach away from Heroes (damn you, Fox, and your dislike of the gay), so I am sure I will get into that. Plus the latest episode of SGA, and Lost is going to start up soon, and there's a couple more episodes of House lurking on the horizon, and at least one or two more episodes of Chuck, plus the rest of SGA, and the return of Torchwood and Doctor Who, and...well, let it suffice to say that the writers' strike is not actually helping to curb my wild and crazy lifestyle.
(I should probably finish the rest of Entourage at some point, too.)
