random confessions

Due to recently watching the end of BSG and the pressing need to resolve my understanding of the whole damn thing as a coherent story and rewatching it all because I clearly don't have enough tv-related angst in my life (my sit-and-wait policy with SPN's quite understandable recent wobbles being my only way to deal with it), I've been splashing

Oh, the preachiness. Kill me now. Watching the second time around is much, much better because you don't have to sit through it all just in case it does end up turning out to be relevant (answer: not really). There IS some good, crunchy character goodness, but there's an awful lot of pap, too. It's so broad there's something for everyone, though. Quite unlike SPN, there.

And Lorelai. I liked it to begin with, but it did go that direction fast. One of the things I loved about Luke was his (apparent) ability to call her on this crap. I know this is a shallow thing to say, too, but the older the actress looked, the more you just wanted her to GROW THE HELL UP ALREADY.

Aren't they just fun and charming? Uh, no.

Heh. I ❤ you and your snark.

I sometimes watch shows I hate.

Ah, but hate is not indifference. I mean, I have a pretty strong hate-on for LOST in the general sense - I can harangue LOST fans up one side and down the other - but in the specifics, it bores the crap out of me. 24 is similar. Bones, I am indifferent to on a general level but kind of hate on the specific, so when I catch it, I watch it, because ... hate. But I want to REMIND myself of the hate, or something. Plus, I don't think I'd hate it in the specific if there weren't also stuff I really quite liked about it, that I wish they could have gotten right. I don't know, that's my attempt at explaining my incarnation of that compulsion, anyway.

But trying to tug at my heartstrings is just ... yeah don't.

See above, re: you and your snark. :)

"Then again, I actually find most of Whedon's female characters to be kind of condescending."

Have I told you lately that I love you?

"I have a pretty strong hate-on for LOST in the general sense"

I want to hear more about this please. A nice rant perhaps, if you feel like it. Because, yes, Lost sucks.

I finished my meta! Yay! *drowns self in booze to celebrate*

Hee! It's certainly mutual.

And if I get in the right mindset to rant, I will, although there'd probably have to be something to tip it off - and since it's no longer airing, I don't have people trying to convince me how AMAZING it is, so I haven't felt the need to really vent about that for a while. :D

Meta? Can haz? *puppeh eyes*

"Meta? Can haz?"

I posted it Sunday, but because I was working on it in lj, I ended up posting it date-out-of-order, so it didn't show up on your friends page. I should have been more specific - I'm finished & it's posted. Maybe I was subconsciously afraid to point you directly at it. But anyway, it's up. ;p
