[I just realized that the DW crossposter doesn't seem to work right now, so now I'm belatedly manually reposting my recent posts. I hope this isn't going to cause stuff to doublepost by accident, but sorry if it does!]

A few months ago, cesperanza made a post about Person of Interest where she talked about how usually, in TV shows, you get the emotionally

and the fact that the next episode won't be for three weeks, and then I have to take a few deeps breaths until the urge to scream has passed.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? I didn't know that.

Also, yes, this show is amazing. Thank you, Michael Emerson, for being awesome and thus forcing me to give all your projects a go.

I think it's not quite three weeks anymore - that was when I looked it up a few days ago - but yes, no new POI for a while. It is KILLING ME.

I actually haven't seen anything else with Michael Emerson, but maybe I should! Anything you'd rec in particular?

Still, it's way too much time!!

He was amazing in LOST. You should totally see LOST even though it's cracked out.

You know, I've seen the internet talk about LOST for like a decade now, and I still don't know anything about it beyond "People on an island!" I guess I should check it out at some point, although I've never really heard anything about it that made it sound like my kind of series.

LOST is...LOST. It was quite a phenomenon for a while, people going crazy over all the he ~mysteries~ surrounding the island. It had its ups and down (s1 is amazing, s3 is horrible, s5 is fantastic, s6 is a bit of a disappointment) and even though not everything got answered at the end, I don't regret going for the ride.

If you have some time, check the pilot at least. It really gives you a feel for the show, in terms of characters, mood, and visuals.

I'll check it out, thank you! (At some point. TV is hard for me. ;))

I have seen the pilot (years and years ago when it was new) and it didn't grip me. Then I tried again when I was trying to find more stuff with Ian Somerhalder in it, and it still didn't grip me. Doesn't help that his character's a bit unsympathetic on Lost.

But it's also on my to-watch list, whenever I will ever get around to any of it. I am slightly disheartened by the fact that JJ made it and Fringe sucks so much. But hey. I *will* get around to it eventually, and if I do before you, you'll be sure to hear about it. :)

I guess we can put that on our list for when we run out of TV shows, which, at our current rate of 1.3 shows per week, will be sometimes in, oh, never? ;)

Which reminds me, have I ever made you watch The Dead Zone? I'm on a speranza rereading kick, which lead me to The Big Picture, which reminded me that I really liked TDZ but never finished watching it. (If you don't know the show, she's summarizing the plot for people who haven't seen it at the beginning of the story, and she explains it better than I could, so I thought I'd just link that.)

will be sometimes in, oh, never? ;)

Absolutely. :D

have I ever made you watch The Dead Zone?

Yes, yes you have. :D And I ended up watching 3 seasons of it, I think. I stopped somewhere in the middle, don't remember why. But it was quite good at the time.

The story you linked should be at a point I've seen already, but I'm not sure anymore.

[neery]

The story's really pretty much a casefic, unrelated to stuff that happens on the show. I know I read it back then without ever having seen the show at all. (I didn't really link it as a rec, by the way, just for the description of the show. I mean, it's cesperanza, so it's solid writing and all that, but if you only have time to read a few long Ces stories, I wouldn't put that one at the top of the list. ;))
