which kind of crap do you want to watch today?

[tinnny]

The kind where the last thirty seconds of every episode are pasted on and feature some couple that has nothing to do with the rest of the show? They're called Grissom/Sara or something. :P (CSI

SGA: I have done fabulous things for my blood pressure by only watching about half the episodes in this season. That way, it was a pretty good show. *g* It helps that I've pretty much fallen off the edge of this fandom by now, and am only clinging on half-heartedly by the fingertips. Mostly because I still have that one awesome story idea that needs to be written

*lol*

Actually, it's the only fandom I'm really in, on LJ. All the other stuff I pretty much watch by myself. That's why I'm staying. I love my flist's thoughts on it, no matter how stupid the show is. :)

an improv fest [...] actually sounds like it could be fun. Or really painful, depending.

Well, for me it's fine. For once. I usually don't like it when they go overboard, but that show is about nothing else. It's built around the lead's slapstick talent. So it's fine with me. He's pretty good, actually.

How can people who made it to paid writers of a successful TV show be so damned clumsy?

Word.

Grissom/Sara would be difficult enoughThey're doing wuite well in the not-pasted-on parts, actually. For CSI, at least. They're totally understating everything so noone is 'bothered by pesky private life romance'. Except for those hammer-scenes at the end. I don't get it. I am way too addicted after more than 6 seasons to quit

Oops. I can imagine that the show doesn't really lend itself to being mocked.

Oh, it's not that at all - there are many aspects of the show that lend themselves fabulously to being mocked. Dean's womanizing, for example. But that's not really what they did - they showed the characters mocking each other in what looked to me like a really hateful, contemptuous way. To me, it looked like a complete denial of the love between those two, like the total opposite of everything I love about the show. The only way I can explain this ep to myself is by fanwanking/pretending that they were a lot more influenced by the bad guy than the show really admitted to.

I still don't watch it, though, so this really goes way over my head. I have seen Skin now, but don't really see the relevance for an arc so far.I don't think the arc has started yet at Skin. First ep of the arc is the one with the visions

Your meta? Is top-drawer. WTF, people?

Re neery's comment above: I avoided the last ep of SPN because wow, that is so not what I want to see as I build my sense of the world these guys inhabit. Jesus.

And I haven't watched the last three eps of BSG: reading my flist told me all I cared to know. But this ep is a biggie, or so I understand. (And I haven't forgotten your question about Kara and Leoben! In fact, I loved it and will write up my answer as soon as I get my words back.) ;)

[tinnny]

Heee. :)) Thanks! I wish the shows would justify the meta.

Still waiting to get my motivation back to watch BSG. Nothing wrong with the show... so far :). But lack of sleep is really getting to me again. The little one still has no teeth an wakes up every 3 hours tops every night. ;/ They tell me after the first ones it gets better. *shrug*

Take your time getting your words back. *HUGS*

I can't believe how far behind you are ... but on the side note, I am still alive and kicking!
:)
hugs from far away!

[tinnny]

Heya boy! You mean about BSG? Yeah, a pity. I'll wait until I *want* to watch it again, and then I'll probably go through ten eps in as many days. It comes and goes in phases. ;) At the moment, I'm that way with Without A Trace. No comparison with BSG, I admit, but I can watch it half-asleep and still get it. :))

Glad to hear you're doing well! *hugs*
