Television: Fall Watching Plan

[butterfly]

So, my job decided that the best way to celebrate my coming back from vacation was to give me an eleven-hour shift on my first day back (speaking of, my vacation was good -- met my brother's girlfriend for the first time and she's funny, smart, and totally cute. And they are cuddly and adorable together, which is such a departure from how my

Welcome back!

I love Bones in a non-fandom way, and I have Heroes sitting here on dvd waiting for me to bother to watch it, which I guess I'd better do before the season starts.

Still looking forward to your Daniel/Vala vid, which I promise to only mention only half has often as I think of it, or in other words, every half-hour.

Hee! Thanks. For footage reasons, it'll probably end up being done around Christmas or so (I'm waiting to see if my mom is giving me SG 10 for my birthday, as I suspect she's planning to). I already have most of the clips placed in my head, so it won't take long to finish once I have the dvds.

Yay, another Heroes fan! I was hooked from the first episode, and it was one of my few "don't miss" shows on network TV last year. The fact that CE showed up on it halfway through was just a major bonus. And I totally agree that you should watch the second half of the season before S2 starts -- you really need to see the final story arc to have any idea what's going on, IMO.

Are you spoiler free on Heroes? Just how exactly, are you hoping Peter and Claire will bond? *g* And since you're halfway, I take it you haven't met Claude yet? You're in for a treat. :)

And for the record, I love Mr. Bennett (or HRG, however you want to refer to him). Man seriously needs his own major storyline next year. He's awesome! :D

Heroes is pretty terrific. I found the first episode iffy, but I'm glad that I stuck with it, because the second episode was terrific and I haven't been disappointed since.

Just how exactly, are you hoping Peter and Claire will bond?

Hee! Oh, I'm totally spoiled on most of the Petrelli-based storylines (I've been pleasantly surprised at how much other stuff that I haven't been spoiled about though!), so I knew about Peter and Claire going into it. Still, after the first episode, I said, "Well, I understand why people started shipping them -- they are the only sane, decent people in their respective families." This was before I started liking the Bennetts. Mind, I'm still not fond of Mama and Nathan Petrelli. Plus, once the characters finally meet, they do have quite excellent (and rather unfamilial) chemistry with each other. So, on the one hand, I'm kinda glad that they're related, so that Peter can finally have a family member that doesn't play mind games with him, but I can totally see why people were shocked and disappointed.

Do I want to know what the Colby thing is? *wibbles*

Also what Who casting news? I know some but not others I think?

*considers*

No. Well, it depends on how things fall out this next season. It's pretty OMGWTF, though.

Also what Who casting news? I know some but not others I think?

The good news about David staying on for the 2009 specials. I'm just posting several days behind everyone else!

[joanne_c]

Uh oh. I don't think I'll search it out. Numb3rs is a mostly non fannish show for me but now I'm worried. Eeep.

And yes, such good news for Who though he will leave eventually I'm sure. I would not mind if Jack Davenport were Eleven (we'll say he gets a few good years in his new show first though).

Heroes: The show started off a little slow and shallow, but by the end? So much fun. I love Claire and her father(but her mother as well) and Claude...well, Claude had better make another appearance. YOU HEAR ME, WRITERS? Come up with a story compelling enough to drag CE back!

Numb3rs:The Colby thing made no sense. NONE. There had better be excellent explanations in store.

Chase is totally my gateway character too, and I didn't even realize it 'til the end of this season. And it makes no sense, because we have nothing in common at all and I think he's sort of pretty, but nothing special. But there you have it. Atlantis kinda lost me at the end of last season with Weir and those horrible Lucius episodes. They get a couple episodes to impress me this fall.

Agreed on both points (well, all three! Claude is an excellent character). The first episode, especially, was kinda making me go "huh" at the gender portrayals, but it's really improved over time.

I know! I didn't know how much I liked him until they threatened to take him away. And I don't want to lose him!

I probably would not be so bouncy about Atlantis were it not for the casting news. I'm thrilled about the casting news.

The Heroes folks have been saying that new viewers shouldn't have problems jumping in with the second season, so I suspect you'd be okay to watch the end of S1 and the beginning of S2 concurrently.

[butterfly]

Cool. Though I'll probably try to finish up S1 before the end of the month regardless. It's a good story, with a lot of cute touches.
