woe is me

Feb 02, 2008 17:16

Hm, let's see. 1) I'm trying to eat less chocolate. It's making me cranky. 2) I was poking around at my fic and suddenly realized a huge continuity error I made in Pretty Girl. The plastic cuffs that the Three puts on Seelix just magically disappear at some point. *headdesk*

( Clearly it's time for a poll. )

Wait, why no chocolate??? And you're going to get into Stargate?? *cackles madly* It's an addictive, crazy world, and that's my warning to you.

Anyways, I'm addicted to both chocolate and Stargate SG-1. SGA I only watch for my favorite character from SG-1. Heh.

And I watched the premiere of Lost! I saw all of season 1 back when it first aired, but then lost interest in Season 2, right after they oh-so-predictably killed Shannon. So I didn't watch again until the other night... and I didn't really miss it. I realized I don't really find the characters (or the actors who play them) that compelling, at least the main ones -- Jack, Kate and Sawyer bore me. I do really like Juliet and caught a couple of her episodes... and I liked Locke, but he kind of scares me now.

I'm still mulling over the whole Stargate thing. Mostly I was curious as to which would get the most votes.

Oh, Lost. I wouldn't say I don't find the characters compelling, but I don't think most of them are likeable... at all. Which is why probably I'd find it hard to actually write a whole post about a specific episode.

Ditto on Jack, Kate and Sawyer, though I did think Jack's interactions with Juliet were interesting. Mostly because, like you, I think Juliet is kinda awesome so far. Locke is scary now, I agree, but at least he's not boring.

eta: no chocolate because in theory less chocolate is supposed to improve a (very mild yet annoying) health problem. Otherwise I'd be eating as much as usual. *sniff*

Yeah... I actually think Juliet might be the only character that I really like. Though I kind of like Desmond, too. For all that it's a character-driven drama (since it takes the format of their flashbacks and whatnot), I don't like the characters either.

That is so sad... I had to go through a whole slew of possible diet changes, in order to improve my health, and it's very frustrating and hard to be good. I'm glad you're doing so well with it, though! I would've cracked by now, probably.

Lost is not really character-driven for me as a viewer. Though that's probably what the show's producers want it to be, heh.

Hm. I had a 'Lost' icon once. Maybe I'll re-upload it.

The whole no-chocolate thing: currently I'm going with less chocolate, and it's just killing me. I'm not sure how I'd be doing 'cold turkey'--maybe better, maybe worse.

Can I pick both 1 and 3 for question one? Because I hate that I'm watching it again but since I am I would love to discuss it with you! Heh.

*adds Pretty Girl to list of thing to read when Sanctuary is finished* I'm all in favor of fixing it - people read stories long after they're posted, even if they don't tend to leave feedback, and besides you'll probably feel better.

I haven't seen either of the Stargates or much Who, but Who is higher on my list. After Farscape. I'm such a bad geek.

Lack of chocolate is a tragic tale of woe - I don't need to watch the show to know this! ;)

Hee... you're watching it again? When did you stop? I'm glad I'm not the only one. I sometimes feel very bewildered by everyone that's in love with the show, and debating whether Kate should be with Jack or Sawyer (dude... she's kind of boring, IMO).

And mmm... chocolate. I don't think anyone should give up chocolate -- it's good for you!

frolicndetour February 9 2008, 00:01:15 UTC

I finally gave up after they killed Mr. Eko - he was my favorite character. I also liked Ana Lucia quite a bit. :( And yeah, Kate is boring - though I'm liking her so far this season. Screwing over Jack is worth big points with me. But what I saw of that love quadrangle made bsg's look like Shakespeare.

Hee... wow, that's saying something.

Never really could get into 'Lost', don't know why because the premise should work well for me.

I thought season one was excellent, but season two and the first part of season three were just okay. Part of the issue with the show for me is that I really don't love any of the characters. The premise and plot are intriguing but my usual question during the show is "what next" rather than how will this impact my favorite people.
