hi and Buffy pilot
I've been seriously AWOL, haven't I? In part, I'm incredibly busy finishing the first draft of my new novel. In part, well, I began this LJ because VM got under my skin in a very particular way. Even though it wasn't objectively the best TV I'd ever seen, nothing else ever has had that specific effect on me. Rewatching episodes, wanting to talk

Hey stranger!
I miss your posts but I understand RL taking over. When you say "new novel", does that mean you have other novels? I completely understand wanting to remain anonymous on LJ but I would love to read your work if you have something published. It's up to you of course if you'd rather keep it separate. :-)
BSG and Chuck are both faves of mine, though I'm not as fannish about them as I was VM. I miss talking about TV and with the strike still going on, discussion about shows has quieted down a bit.
Ah, Buffy. I'm excited that you decided to give it a try. It's my favorite TV show and I break out the DVDs on occasion and experience it all over again. As others have mentioned the show does get darker as the seasons progress and I think you'll find if you continue that the storytelling gets tighter as well. Season 1 was good, if a bit inconsistent in quality, but seasons two and three are truly great IMO and there are some outstanding standalone episodes in the later seasons. When you have more time to devote to LJ, I'd love to read your thoughts on it.

Chuck is a delight, but somehow I'm not as invested as I was with VM. It doesn't push my buttons in the same way, I guess. And I watched BSG after the fact, so I don't know what it's like to be caught up in an ongoing discussion.
And yeah, LJ fandom is pretty damned quiet right now. Honestly, the Writer's Guild strike has been my new obsessive fandom. Kind of funny, that.
I'll try to post more on Buffy as I watch it.
