Six Sleeps To Christmas!

Dec 19, 2009 15:53

It’s six sleeps to Christmas! And therefore, it is time to spread some holiday cheer, because I had a pretty great week and full excitement has just hit me this weekend. I have my pyjamas on, Christmas songs playing on YouTube, and it’s been snowing! I love Christmas time!

Firstly, the non-NCIS-related stuff, because I’ll get all rambly on that later! )

ncis episodes, life outside of lj, ncis general chatter

Just wanted to say that I've seen this entry and I am going to come back and leave a nice long reply to it but because my mind is so caught up in the Stargate universe at the moment its going to take a couple of days before I can process NCIS comments ;-) But I will be back!

I will look forward to it! And I quite understand getting caught up in SG-1, I noticed your new bookmarks on delicious and I'm really tempted to get out our DVDs and have a good, long re-watch! It was my mum's favourite show, but I was a bit too young to get fannish about it, so I think I could do with re-watching it all. My favourite character was Sam, at the time, though. But you have so many hours of good TV to watch, enjoy! Where are you up to? And you might then get distracted by the insanity that is SGA! Yay!

Hope you're well hon! :-)

I really recommend it. I am so hooked on it (as you can probably tell from the bookmarks), its not funny! And when I get obsessed with something I go a little crazy ;-) I am a major Daniel fan (and so much whump built into canon is fantastic!) and I have to admit that Sam annoys me a little, she's a little too perfect for my liking. I'm currently up to the end of season 6 which has been torture as there is no Daniel for most of the season, which would be like having no Tony. I'm hanging out until he comes back.

I think I'm going to need to take a little break before I dive into another show to recover and reconnect with the rest of my life but I will definitly give SGA a go.

If distracted by a new fandom is well then I'm fantastic :D
Same to you :-)

Hee, I'm secretly quite jealous of your obvious fandom squee! (But I'm also looking forward to hearing what you thought about Faith *g*) I was really quite young when it first started and mostly watched it distractedly, so my favourite characters could very well change! I've noticed there's a few feelings that Sam is yet another of those women on TV who the writers can't just let be a woman, they have to make her super special in some way (that whole thing makes me crazy!) but I think I was won over by her hair! Stop it, you're going to suck me in and I'm still finishing the NCIS S2 picspam! (It got wordy.) :-D

*g* Just trying to bring everyone I can down with me. My problem with Sam is that she has an in-depth knowledge about to many complicated things and its a little unrealistic. Daniel also knows a lot but its all in a similar area and he is much more likely to have started studying it an early age so it doesn't bother it me like with Sam. But I'm going to do some more squeeing (all part of my master plan ;) and say that I adore Daniel. And Michael Shanks who plays him. He reminds me a lot of MW in the way that when you watch him when he is the background of a scene he is still completely switched on and in character and its fun watching his facial expressions and gestures. I love actors like that. :-) Plus there's the whole Jack/Daniel dynamic that if you like Gibbs/Tony you'll love. Convinced yet?

As for Faith I'll come back and reply in more depth later but my overall reaction was that I was bored. That could have been because I was coming off a marathon SG1 session so I'm going to have to rewatch it when I'm not so distracted. I ( ... )

You're totally winning me over! I am going to admit that when I did watch it - and I was like, ten, please bear my innocence in mind LOL - I was kind of a Jack/Sam shipper. I was ten! So my memories of it are a bit unclear - I have a feeling that if I'd discovered it much later (and after having discovered slash!), I would have completely been a Jack/Daniel fan. I'm really looking forward to watching it all again because I want to see their relationship! I did watch the last two seasons this year, when I was immersed in a serious crush on Ben Browder - again - so I am definitely going to re-watch in the new year ( ... )

*g* My plan is working! I can see the Jack/Sam thing but because I'm not a really a fan of Sam I'm not motivated enough to ship them. Obviously I haven't seen the last two season yet but from poking around the fandom I've been hearing that the earlier seasons (specifically 1-3) are the best. I'm pretty easy to please, just give me Daniel and I'm content ;-)

I normally don't like guys with longer hair but I feel in love with him almost immediately (I think the episode Fire and Water was the clincher). I especially love the scenes where he is not wearing glasses and you can stare into his eyes...so beautiful. *g* I've got it bad ;-)

And I should probably stop this squeeing and go to bed now because it's 2am here and I am so tired (but I just couldn't resist watching the first couple of eps of season 7. Daniel's back!)

I'm with you, I'm usually far more a fan of shorter hair than longer, but I think Daniel really suits his nineties fringe! And he really suits his glasses, too!

Usually I'd be a total enabler and encourage you to stay up late - but you want to be able to remember the episodes you watch, LOL! And I think you've probably got enough Daniel on the brain, and burned onto your retinas, to have some lovely dreams! ;-)

Get some sleep! *g*
