Life, you are complicated
I just had what was essentially a full-season 24 marathon for, surprisingly, the first time ever. I skipped a few episodes at the beginning because I watched them over the summer, but it was basically my entire day. Honestly, I think I knew I wasn't going to enjoy it that much, but I wanted to watch it again, so it was better to put a bag over its head and just get it over with. I was thinking about Tom/Karen, which I've kind of been doing for the last few weeks, and I wasn't really in the mood to be productive or get out of bed (plus I felt sort of lonely...having a break for more than a day is never good for me for that reason), so I decided to watch it. It made me pretty depressed about next season...I'm excited about Cherry Jones, but no celesbian can make up for the changes I fear, so I don't really know how I'll get into it. I've never really watched it for Jack.
I haven't really watched Jayne Atkinson in anything since season 6 actually aired, but I can tell why I enjoyed her so much at the time. She's such an inexplicably talented actress, and obviously this is nothing compared to what she can do on a stage (based on my limited experiences via that play on CD I have and Our Town on DVD...god, I am in such a mood to watch her and Jane gossiping about Stephen Spinella's crazy drunken ho of a character. What a fabulous play). Karen and Bill are more interesting when they can interact face-to-face, but I loved the scene where they were on the phone right before she got arrested and she brought up the idea that she didn't know when she'd speak to him again. I can also remember exactly why I shipped Tom and Karen in that hilariously dysfunctional way, because I had definitely lost sight of that over the last year and a half. I stand by my convictions there; I think there was definitely an awkward closet make-out session between those two at some point. Or, you know, ALL THE TIME.
lmfao, I love how I have a tag for Peter Macnicol. God, I love that man. I really want to watch Bean right now. I think that's 100% necessary. Particularly the scene when he's in the shower and Bean thinks it would be completely appropriate to join him, and then when someone calls, he picks up the phone and goes "oh yeah, he's in the shower with me." Lovers, y/n?
Okay, so I'm kind of bored and in one of those 24 moods where the world totally depresses me. I also think I have PMS, because I cleaned out my friends list and I usually only do that when I need an outlet for my girly bitchiness. I'm pretty close to clearing out my interests, too. They take up a lot of space and it's really bothering me right now. This would be going so much better if there were people around for me to get pissed at. :P
I was watching BSG a couple of days ago, and now I kind of accept that the quality of Mary's acting wasn't necessarily something I hallucinated as a result of fangirling. I think everyone has their areas, and she's totally incredible with really deep emotions and just...falling apart onscreen. So she has that going for her. I don't know, I think it's so unfair sometimes that we pit actors against each other. I mean, for an awards show it's fine because there are still some people who have a bunch of bases covered, and it's just based on one performance, but I don't think you can just say one person is better than another on a universal sense. Everyone has an area in which they fucking rock, and whether we go for them depends on how much we like the characters they're best suited for (which is why I can't stand Rachel Griffiths even though I can agree that she deserves like, a million Emmys). Plus, I think the world benefits more from having a massive group of badass people who entertain us all the time. It's a big world, right?
Okay. My eyes are sore. Obviously my computer is not the place for a full day of anything, although you'd think I might have learned that from the carpet book. So, yeah. I'm going to bed.
