a rare drama ramble

Aug 13, 2009 09:42

i've been running out things to listen/watch on the iPod while at work. this is not good. as i've said before, iPod entertainment while at work keeps my inner 12 yo ADD self happy and entertained and not up on LJ producing posts. ahem. all 7 seasons of Gilmore Girls have been processed multiple times. Firefly has been watched over 3 dozen ( Read more... )

You are not alone in hating WH, believe me. I still have *no* idea how I managed to get through it at all.

i can't remember how many times i ended up having to read it for various classes. you know, i love a good twisted story and Mysterious Secret to be unraveled, but dear goddess, that was just utter crap.

Sparkhouse ended up being quite good, though. characters more misguided in their pull towards each other rather than abusive towards each other. ended too abruptly and is screaming for fan fic. which i will not write.

So glad I'm not the only one who dislikes WH. For the record, I also hate Jane Eyre.

Wish I could offer up some good IPod stuff but I tend to listen to podcasts while on my breaks and music while I'm working, so that won't help you much!

yes, Jane Eyre is among the hated crowd as well. i was always far more interested in the first wife and what the hell happened and why was she mad. you know, the whole part of the story that gets ignored as we most focus on Twu Wuve and the brooding and psycho Rochester. ::barfs now::

i can usually listen to Dave Ramsey's podcasts while working since not much concentration is called for, but stuff like The Signal or This American Life i want to really focus and pay attention to, so i tend to save those or driving and chores. i think i just need to go through the downloaded material i have and convert it for iPod. i still have the end of the final season of ER to watch, so i loaded those on last night. :)

My new obsession is House MD. I am still on Season 1.

i loved season 1 and 2 of House! after that, it kind of went off the rails for me. so many good things out there i've caught a few episodes of (In Plain Sight comes to mind) that i should just download and convert. i have no time for tv viewing at home.

add me to the list that hate WH. the characters are just so assy, every one of them. i still have fondness for jane eyre, though lord knows that story is cliche enough now.

i can't recall, do you watch torchwood at all/do you have tolerance for sci fi beyond firefly? i haven't kept up since season 2 but the recent torchwood bbc miniseries was very well rated. we also ended up enjoying both dollhouse and fringe last year, though i'd say both are mediocre-not-great most of the time.

oh, i love sci-fi. BSG, Doctor Who, Torchwood -- still have to finish Children of the Earth. But for some reason, i don't enjoy Torchwood on rewatching, which is weird.

I need to finish watching Dollhouse (still on the DVR!), and definitely like it. I tried Fringe, but was finding i was having to force myself to watch it, and not enjoying it. something about the characters (all three main ones) made me want to kill them. kind of took away from the mystery and stuff going on.

i should convert some early season X-Files to iPod, but last time i did that, i remembered why i *lurved* that show, and was focused more on the iPod than work. ahem. like i know I can't watch Lost on the iPod either -- so much to pay attention to on the screen!
