TV, Gossip Girl, College and NYC

[anoel]

I'm so happy the fall TV season is finally starting! With the premiere of Gossip Girls and Prison Break yesterday, it's finally begun. I can hardly believe it's September already. I'm still working on catching up with Prison Break so Gossip Girl is my first show of the night. In an effort to not procrastinate and wait to write things until they're

I watched all of Dark Angel a month or two ago. It was good, I liked it, but I wasn't head over heels. Except for all the pretty -- it is just chock full o' pretty. Jensen Ackles is good, and we even get to see an early version of the Single Perfect Tear of Manly Pain.

Good luck with college stuff!

[anoel]

There is definitely a lot of pretty! I'm loving it, it's exactly the kind of show that appeals to me which is what I predicted and why I started watching. And LOL at the emo tear! I look forward to it.

Thanks!

I'm glad the Blair/Chuck plotline is still going strong. Everything else about the show (that I've seen) has been blah, especially Serena/Dan.

You really must read the books. They're so much better and smarter than the TV series; everyone isn't a goody-two-shoes underneath. (Nate and Serena especially are very different; Nate is a hilarious noncommittal stoner, and Serena is... just messed up and enigmatic, and much more of a party/society girl.) And NO parents, or almost none; what little there is parent-wise is usually smart and funny (Jenny and Dan's dad is especially hilarious and inept and weird, rather than a boring ex-hottie rock star *rolls eyes* Just so much more realistic and interesting). Sorry, I know I've ranted about this to you before... I'll lend you the first few books next time I'm home!

[anoel]

Yeah they're the best part times infinity. The show got lucky with them.

I know, I know. After I exhaust my list I'll probably try them.

Blair/Chuck were marvelous. And OMG in the sunlight their clothes are even sparklier than usual...

Dark Angel FTW!!! I love Season One plot wise an awful lot! The back story is intriguing and the characters around Max marvelous! I hope you'll enjoy the rest as much as I did (though I hope you get spared my fanfic obsession but if not, I made a rec list of what's bearable :)

[anoel]

They were amazing! And that's true, I loved the sunlight so much.

It's awesome! I knew it was good but I didn't know how good. I'm definitely loving it a lot. And I doubt I'll get into fic but I'm glad you have a rec list, I love your SGA one so I'm sure this one will be just as good (even with much less fic) :)

[cathexys]

Well...embarrassed looking down shuffling my feet...let's just say the DA list is much more from the id :)

But yes, the show's really good...the race and class and gender and sexuality issues alone!

Enjoy!!! And share the squee :)

(btw, have you seen Greek? My latest obsession...not GG, but a lot of fun and cute guys and girls)

[anoel]

I have no problem with that ;)

Oh yeah, it's so awesome on that front. I'm surprised LJ people aren't talking about that more although I probably just missed that.

I will! I'm trying to take it slowly, still working on con reports and such but there is much more to be said.

I haven't actually but I hear there's a gay plotline so I must check it out. I just have a ton of shows to catch up on right now. The next time I need a fun show to go through in a month or two, I'll probably be up for it.

Not sure if I'll shit Brennan/Booth but that one wall scene was HOT.
Ummm... just thought that I should point out a funny type=o.

And YAY! You are watching Dark Angel! And yes, the Logan/Max thing for the most part never feels natural, and by the end of the show it feels deeply unhealthy, though there will be a few times that you can see it. I am firmly on the Max/Alec train though. :)

Fair warning: The show has more potential than it actually lives up to, (which doesn't stop the love) and don't worry too much about plot holes or continuity... the writers sure didn't!

[anoel]

Thanks that was definitely wrong lol.

So glad there are other fans of it! And that I'm not the only one who thinks that. I hope that ship is better!

That's what I've heard especially in S2 but thankfully I can ignore plot stuff like that, it's the character stuff that bothers me the most.

[anoel]

Yeah, FOX sucks. I hear S2 isn't as good but I'm always glad for what I do enjoy.

I'd love to hang out with you! Yeah, I've kept saying I'll go and I figured I better go before I'm in LA all the time. I'd be up for going to the park and just talking and it doesn't have to be touristy, if you have a favorite thing to do or place to see, that's fine too. Or if you just want to watch TV, I'm up for that too. Would you be free on Saturday evening like after 6 or so?

[anoel]

Would you be interested in walking around Chelsea and Greenwich Village area? I'd love to see more of the LGBT area and Stonewall as I didn't see that with my family last time. Or Harlem or the Met ($10). It'd probably be around 7 PM or so.
