if you don't believe me, what's the point?
Okay, so after working so damn hard for so long to not get spoiled for the Ashes finale, the inevitable happened. I was sifting through my Google alerts and of course, I happened to stumble upon the Daily Mail spoilers. The picture came up in the email before I had the chance to exit the window. I didn't read the article, but the pictures were revealing enough! DAMN THEM AND THEIR EVILNESS. Seriously, I was so damn stupid to even look at my Google alerts in the first place. I've been good otherwise, and have avoided watching the trailer or preview or whatever it was that was released yesterday. It's so hard to resist the urge to look at spoilers. This wait for the finale is really killing me. I NEED TO WATCH IT RIGHT NOW. I'm seriously more excited about this than I have been about anything ever. I think Ashes to Ashes has officially taken up the mantle as my favourite show ever. I can't really think of any other show that's consistently made me feel the range of emotions and the sheer level of excitement that Ashes has. ♥

On to other things (which, in my Ashes-induced haze, I almost forgot about), I'm so pissed off with NBC over Parks and Rec. Seriously, it's one of the best shows going around, and they're doing this to it. I can't help but be pessimistic about its chances of survival now. Damn it, NBC, can you do anything right???
As for 30 Rock, sadly I feel like I'm starting to lose interest with the show. I mean, I still think it's hilarious, I'm just losing the emotional connection to the characters that I used to have. I'm finding pretty much all of the characters super-annoying lately, especially Jack. Somehow I can't seem to find Liz annoying, no matter what she does- Tina is just too adorable for me to ever dislike- but the whole Jack/Avery/Nancy thing is just aggravating me so damn much. I seriously want to punch Jack 99% of the time, no matter how hot he looks, and the storyline has dragged on for WAY too long. None of the other characters have been particularly engaging, either, to be honest.
Then there's this interview with Tina, which just makes me sad. I hate to say it, but my disillusionment with this show stems almost directly to the whole 'Jack and Liz will never, ever get together' thing. I hate to be one of those people who only loves a show because of a ship, but that's what's happened. Without the prospect of Jack/Liz, the show is just far less appealing. I just don't understand why they've put so much Jack/Liz stuff in previous episodes, only to say it will never happen and that it was never on the cards in the first place. Why do it, then? Why make Jack and Liz so obviously perfect for each other in every way, only to say that's it's never going to happen? SIGH x1000000.

While attempting to pass the time in between Ashes freakouts, I've been watching In Treatment. My mother's been recommending it to me forever, but I've only just got around to watching it and I have to say, I really love it! Every episode is just so fascinating, and the acting is just first-class. It's brilliantly constructed, and always leaves you wanting more. I highly recommend it!

Through the aforementioned evil Google Alerts, I found some news that both excited and upset me:
Ros, unfortunately, seems to definitely be dead (strange, that, since she kinda got blown up), because Hermione Norris is starring in a new BBC show called Outcasts, which also stars Eric Maibus (Ugly Betty)and Danny Mays (Cockblock!Keats from Ashes to Ashes). It's made by Kudos and sounds pretty damn awesome! In reality, though, as soon as I saw that Hermione was in it, I was in. I'd seriously watch anything with her in it. I'm super-sad about the demise of Ros, but yay for more Hermione!!!
