Thirty Days Of TV: Day One
Just finished shoveling off the steps and making something resembling a path (one of the joys of renting is that I'm not responsible for the whole sidewalk!) We got...not quite a foot, I would say? It's hard to tell with how the plows pushed everything around. Could be a lot worse and nowhere near as bad as the mess a couple of Halloweens ago.
*hugs to everyone buried out there*
Let's have a meme.
Day 01 - A show that should never have been canceled
Firefly is too easy and Young Justice is too raw, so let's go for an old one: Space: Above And Beyond. A Sci-fi show by Glen Morgan and James Wong, it centered on a group of rookie space marines forced into the front lines when the aliens Earth's at war with tear through the experienced units. Like B5 it had a five year plan but because it was on Fox it only got one and the last episode ended with all but two of the cast either grievously injured or in mortal peril. Thanks, Fox!
As a warning, you will not like the first four episodes. I didn't like the first four episodes, and I love this show. And I hated the main character. It gets so much better. Great female characters (Vansen especially), surprising, morally twisty plotting, all the characters develop (the main character I initially hated, while never becoming my favorite, got much more sympathetic) and I LOVED how they did the AIs. And T.C. McQueen will make your heart all achy.
Runner up: Human Target, which not only got cancelled but got completely messed with for an entire season and got the rug pulled out from under it just as it was finding its feet again. Thanks, Fox! *grumbles*
