Apparently I Don't Do Thinky Anymore
I acquired the first season of Oz a few weeks ago and was watching it an episode at a time, because they are intense episodes, and also long - does HBO not believe in commercials or something? All the episodes over 55 minutes.
Anyway, that changed today because apparently season one ended on a cliffhanger, which meant I needed to acquire season 2, which was not a hardship because I know the True Love of Beecher and Keller appears at some point in there. (I was a little disappointed to realize it wasn't a feature from the beginning, but there's only 8 episodes per season so I sallied forth.) So, it's 1am and I am about to crash and I look at imdb to see when Keller is going to get around to showing up and LO it is the next episode. Stay up and experience the drama, or hit it?
It took me halfway through the first season to figure out that it was not a good idea to get attached to anyone. Especially if they were getting a lot of air time. (ILU Jefferson Keane!) I have since decided that Sister Peter Marie is my favorite character, not because I think they wouldn't kill off a nun, but because I checked imdb and found that she is in the last episode. I think it might be safe to love Augustus, too. Relatedly, I do not love Harold Perrineau enough to watch Lost, but I would go back and acquire The Unusuals for him and okay, I totally did not recognize him as Link from The Matrix. Probably because I only barely made it through the second movie and never managed to rewatch the first one since then.
Also, I had to go look up where I knew Dean Winters from, and while I watched the early episodes of Law & Order: SVU when he was playing the goofball rookie, what I really remember him from is Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. It is terribly difficult to see good guy Charley Dixon as sociopathic, slouchy, skinny Ryan O'Reily.
Apparently even that was too thinky for my brain and now I must sleep. Gr.
