I'm Freeeeee

Aug 12, 2010 22:54

For two weeks, at least, now that my class is done. And my boss is on vacation for most of next week, which means lots of TV watching. I finished The Office (UK), which I have to say, got harder and harder to watch. The special was just horribly unpleasant. Definitely, definitely voting for the US version as the superior Office.

I'm now watching Six ( Read more... )

As a person that watched Lost religiously, your spoilers spoil nothing! That show was so WTF so much of the time that even knowing huge plot points sometimes wouldn't help.

I was away from TV for two weeks! Rescue Me, The Closer, Project Runway, Top Chef, White Collar, Burn Notice, Being Erica, Eureka...man, I really do watch too much TV if I can't leave without recording eighteen shows and three movies.

The sodas are hilarious. Get back to us on their flavor. I have a couple Duffs and Buzz sodas from The Simpsons Movie. The Duffs were a locally brewed beer with cool printed labels. I think Buzz was Pepsi.

LOL, that's kind of what I figured. It's easier to just go with the flow than trying to figure out how the spoilers actually fit in with anything.

I watched Lost all the way through from the very first episode, and it still makes absolutely no fucking sense. :-P

Hahaha, that seems to be a popular opinion. :)

But most of it makes ABSOLUTELY NO FUCKING SENSE,

Hee! That's lost. It specializes in WTF?! It's either embrace the WTF or loathe it. :)

eowyn_315 August 14 2010, 00:46:27 UTC

Yep, I am starting to figure that out... lol.

My recommendation: don't take LOST too seriously and enjoy it for what it is. Above all, don't make the mistake of thinking anything means anything at all.

I almost ordered the soda, but the shipping costs made me back out in a hurry! I look forward to your report!

Your giving me SFU nostalgia, but a rewatch is going to have to wait. So much TV, so little time...

Yeah, the shipping was kind of ridiculous, but I've always kind of wanted to try Jones soda, and I couldn't pass up Buffy flavors!

Six Feet Under is deeply amazing. Although it is not one of my very top fav shows in terms of my emotional connection to it (though I do love it), it is one of the two shows that I consider the strongest overall by more objective measures (the other is The Wire).

And Lost! Oh...Lost. I'll be interested to see what you think of it -- my feelings about it are SO tied to my experience of it as something I watched over six years, so I find hearing about how people feel about it when watching it all at once really interesting. It's a crazy, crazy show with a lot of flaws, but there are so many great things about it, too. My only suggestion to you is to focus more on the characters than the crazy plot -- I think it works better that way.

But yeah, it's a pretty hard show to spoil (other than character deaths, I guess), since it's hard to know exactly what's going on even when you've been watching it, so it's hard to pick up coherent spoilers.

Yeah, I can see that about SFU (having only seen the first season, of course, lol). It has always struck me as being brilliant in execution.

Re: Lost, I think it's definitely a benefit to go into it knowing that it's crazy WTFery most of the time, so I don't get too invested in things that are never going to be resolved.
