Comparisons

[trystan830]

i was thinking about this after last week's Supernatural episode. the scenes with clearing the cobwebs away from the people's faces reminded me of something else i'd seen - maybe it was the XFiles, i can't remember. but it's what i do - compare what i watch and read to other things i've seen and read

Interesting. Personally I'm fine with people comparing shows to maybe give them idea of the feel or tone of them, however if you're trying to explain a show to someone I don't think a comparison with another show is what you should solely base the explanation on. It does sort of, behind that, imply that whatever show you're explaining doesn't warrant it's own description because simply comparing it with another show should be enough. Comparing definitely helps relate however, so as long as it's backed up.. yep.

well, i'd based my comparisons of Firefly on both Andromeda and Farscape.... and i'm pretty sure that the person who told me to stop comparing probably didn't see either of those shows. or maybe she just doesn't compare? idk.

but, after my initial comparison, i did post several posts after it in their own right, talking about the episodes.

True. It helps if the person has seen the show/s being compared to..
Maybe.. *shrug*

:)

probably. i've watched a LOT of shows my flist has probably never even heard of. heh.

LOLs me too.. me too.

Am currently trying to download two of them actually. Haunted (with Matthew Fox from Lost) and Blind Justice (about a cop who ends up blind but stays on the job). Love them both, but it's been near impossible to find downloads. The torrents I've found for BJ aren't downloading, either. :/ Bit more luck with Haunted but it's taking ages and some eps aren't downloading.. so. /rant

Blind Justice sounds pretty cool, actually.

torrents can be frustrating, i'll agree.

i'm still working on my rewatch of So Weird - they're all on YouTube. and my copies of Forever Knight work on my computer too... but i'm just lazy. heh.

Sadly do not know either of those shows. :/ It's amazing how many of the things there are, and how many more than we've probs never heard of even.

Torrents.. blehhh. :P I only use them as last resort. Much prefer LJ comms. But... LJ comms have failed me thus far with these two shows, so.

[trystan830]

oh yes... there are tons of shows out there.

bah, that's disappointing....
