TV Lessons from 2011

Dec 21, 2011 15:21

What? Just because I graduated last year and no longer have to deal with hell finals week means I shouldn't be procrastinating and doing random online crap in December? HA! Think again, my friend.

( TV Lessons I Learned in 2011 - in which I ramble semi-coherently about my opinions, abuse capslock (and not just for RINGER) and even include definitions of terms and phrases I use because I'm feeling pretentious today. )

arrested development, warehouse 13, raising hope, big bang theory, parks and recreation, community, ringer, doctor who, buffy the vampire slayer, happy endings, random thoughts

I am so floored that you actually posted on LJ that I literally am sitting on the floor typing this for my own amusement. :D And possibly yours, which is why I shared that tiny little bit of info.

And I always love reading your ramblings even if it's about shows I don't watch (yet-in some cases) and damn you guys I DON'T WANT NINE TO REGENERATE! *bawls*

And of course I'm glad I could give you some warm fuzzies over the TBBT episode-you still like it at it's core, it's just done a few things. It's done them to me too, but I didn't have that many other shows to turn to but I swear to you if you don't go into it expecting Parks and Rec perfection YOU WILL LIKE THIS SEASON. So don't call it ditching. Call it taking a break. ;)

Also, this icon was brought to you by you. :D (AND I FREAKING ADORE AMAZON TOO IT'S MY FREAKING WEAKNESS!)

ROTFL I love you, Nicole!!!! SO MUCH ROTFL

Don't worry, you'll love Ten too BUT OH GOD IT STILL HURTS THAT NINE IS GONE AND THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE MORE TIME WITH HIM D:

Okay we'll call it taking a break. This isn't going to lead to a huge Ross-Rachel style fight between me and the show is it, though? Because I can't take them dragging more R/R elements into either the show or my relationship with the show :S

robothor1111 December 21 2011, 21:51:14 UTC

OKAY GOOD I THOUGHT THAT WOULD AMUSE YOU HAHA.

And yeah I've heard I'll love Ten but that doesn't change the fact that we got one year with Nine ONE YEAR.

I don't know, if I could tell you, that'd mean I had some influence and then I could tell you no. Although if you watch a lot of episodes all at once it might not seem as tiring or dragged out as those who watched Friends or JAG (although neither relationship bothered me, even the one I saw live, although JAG there was legitimate work issues involved so I saw it as perfectly normal dragging out, if you will) over the ten year period that they aired during. Like me, it took eight weeks for Ross and Rachel to reunite, not six years. :D

Also, you promised to come to Fanforum to say hi and I am holding you to this. :P Bridget/Jeremy icon as bribery. :D

amtrak12 December 21 2011, 21:46:15 UTC

D'aww, now how am I supposed to say no to that adorable icon? #happysigh

robothor1111 December 21 2011, 21:52:54 UTC

See, that was the plan. Bridget/Jeremy= irresistible. :P AND WHY DID WE ONLY GET THREE EPISODES I AM ABUSING CAPSLOCK TODAY HERE AND IN THE SNUGGLER THREAD DAMN CAPSLOCK ABUSE I GET THAT FROM YOU. I think.

And you can't say no to my doggie either, huh? :)

amtrak12 December 21 2011, 22:01:34 UTC

I take full responsibility for your abuse of capslock LOL RINGER CAPSLOCK DOES NOT ONLY RUIN RINGER FANS. IT RUINS EVERYONE IT TOUCHES :P :/

No, definitely not. I POSTED OVER AT FF! And I think I already closed out the tab by accident o_O WHERE DID YOU GO TAB?????

Girrrrrrrrrrrl. If you like soapy shows, you should absolutely watch Revenge. It's so fabulous that I sometimes can't find words. I spend every week going "OMG OMG OMG" and then I flail. Seriously.

And WORD on Parks & Rec being perfect. Beyond perfect.

amtrak12 December 21 2011, 22:18:45 UTC

I've been tempted! I liked the series promo a lot! But SMG took priority because someone *cough* *looks side-eye at lapacifidora* stole my brain and implanted a love for BtVS in there. So I wound up watching Ringer immediately and didn't get a chance to check out Revenge. Or New Girl, or Once Upon a Time, or Grimm or any other new show I wanted to watch (because I feel like there was at least one other). :(

weasleytook December 21 2011, 22:23:27 UTC

Yeah, there is just SO MUCH new TV going on this season it's insane. But I definitely recommend Revenge when you get the time. It's my favorite new show this year for SURE.

milkpockystick December 22 2011, 21:31:05 UTC

Seconding Revenge. It is so much camp and fun and deadpan seriousness.

misssara11 December 21 2011, 22:19:52 UTC

RINGER!!!!! (I need RINGER icons.)

Sassy Gay Doctor Who is the best fracking thing I’ve seen all year and be prepared for Sassy Gay Doctor Who/BtVS crossover and Sassy Gay Ringer (possibly also crossed over with something else) and possibly any other Sassy Gay [insert show here] I decide would be cracktastic all coming to you in 2012. Because my brain insists on it. XD

You're welcome. Though I still say Sassy Gay RINGER will just be pictures of Henry with "Look at your life! Look at your choices!" And of Siobhan with "What?! What!?" with bonus Andrew/Bridget with "Good for you!"

Yep, we need to make this happen.

I love how many references in this post involve conversations we've had and links we've shared.

Well done Leslie.

(I also need Buffy/Spike icons.)

amtrak12 December 21 2011, 22:27:40 UTC

Dude I need Ringer and Buffy/Spike icons too!!!!! #sadface Actually I just need new/updated icons period.

You're welcome.
Seriously that link? BEST. THING. EVER. XD

Though I still say Sassy Gay RINGER will just be pictures of Henry with "Look at your life! Look at your choices!" And of Siobhan with "What?! What!?" with bonus Andrew/Bridget with "Good for you!"

Mwahaha! Yes it mostly will be that. But there's definitely some outfits we can mock. And Juliet! There's always sass that can be said about a rich, bratty teenager :P

LOL Yeah I noticed the connections back to our conversations too. I'm pretty sure this entire post can be categorized into either 'Conversations I had with Sara' or 'Conversations I had with Nicole' LOL

Thank you, Ann ;)

misssara11 December 21 2011, 23:09:44 UTC

Dude I need Ringer and Buffy/Spike icons too!!!!! #sadface Actually I just need new/updated icons period.

We need to remedy this. And really, though I've added very few icons, I'm quite pleased with my old ones. I have excellent taste.

Mwahaha! Yes it mostly will be that. But there's definitely some outfits we can mock. And Juliet! There's always sass that can be said about a rich, bratty teenager :P

True, true. And there is surely more people to mock/congratulate. I find it hard to believe there is no Sassy Gay Buffy but a search proved useless.

LOL Yeah I noticed the connections back to our conversations too. I'm pretty sure this entire post can be categorized into either 'Conversations I had with Sara' or 'Conversations I had with Nicole' LOL

You have such handy friends!

Heehee. You're welcome.

Soooo with ya on the Spike thing. I hatehatehate when shows do that to characters I love, and I will never accept of forgive them for it.

Still not emotionally invested in a movie or extra eps being made.
OMG, I was starting to think it was just me! I really liked AD, marathoned it after it was already cancelled, but was never quite religious about it. And while cancelled shows being given a second chance brings me hope and joy, my feelings on new episodes of AD can be summed up with: Meh.
