Confessions of a Couch Potato

The whole end of the season / Finale Week era got me thinking, and...

Fandom is certainly a slippery slope, my friends.

Raligh’s Journey to the Darkside:

Circa-1985 I can recall occasionally watching Mr. Rogers and/or reruns of Lassie in the afternoons. This was pretty much the extent of my (very-limited) childhood television viewing experience

Mm-hmm.

Speaking of DVDs, I think I'm going to have to break my longstanding tradition of NOT buying DVDs of television shows with Psych, season one.

It just, it makes me SO happy. It would be such a perfect pick-me-up to have around and available. You know?

That, and most likely Heroes. Especially if they put all the cast commentaries on disc.

Some are far better than others.

Jack Coleman (HRG/Bennet) is a rockstar. ALWAYS awesome and funny and yet professional and mature.

Greg Grunberg (Parkman) is a big, goofy fanboy. And VERY bad about giving away spoilers.

Milo (Peter) and Sendhil (Mohinder) and Zach (Sylar) are funny because they get so caught up in WATCHING THE SHOW and enjoying it, that they forget to talk about it.

George "Sulu" Papa-Hiro Tkai did the latest one and kept a) discussing people's appearance, especially weight b) commenting on the decor in different sets and debating the exact shades of certain colors used c) pointing out where in fact all the scenes in "New York" took place (he apparently is "a native Angeleno")

Like, a LOT.

Heh. No kidding.

The cute thing was that the guys who played Hiro and Ted who were doing the commentary with him didn't seem to be all intimidated "OMIGOSH! It's GEORGE TAKEI!" and were friendly and even kinda-sorta teasing him about it. Like when they'd return to the same location (say, the bridge where Sylar flipped the van and sliced and diced poor Ted [to which the actor cried "He KILLED me??? Man, I KNEW I should have read the entire script!"] one or the other would be like "So, now, where exactly is this bridge...?")
