OH MY GOD YOU WATCHED BLINK AT 1AM? I watched it at 7pm in the summer, when it was perfectly light out, and my sister and I were still clinging to each other in terror.
Also, wow, someone else who watches Legend of the Seeker! We just started watching it, and now I'm noticing it pop up EVERYWHERE.
I KNOW WHAT WAS I THINKING? OR WAS I EVEN THINKING AT ALL? D: D: D:
I've been on and off with Seeker ever since it started -- it immediately struck me as a MUST WATCH NOW show when it premiered; but the first few episodes were pretty week and it was a terrible time slot so I fell off with it; and then I kept hearing awesome things about series two so I finally caught back up and ahhh AWESOME SHOW IS INDEED AWESOME. How far along are you? I think the first season really picks up about halfway through, and so far season two has been pretty much one giant string of excellence. (So why why why is it being canceled? TV hates us, clearly.)
We don't watch live TV anymore for that very reason (also, I am impatient); we pretty much get everything off Netflix. Or the internet.
We just watched 1x09 (the one with the puppet and the snotty princess), and it's really starting to pick up. I can deal with cheesy dialogue and improbable fight scenes when there is actual story, which we're getting a lot more of now, yay! And I'm glad that S2 is so good! I hope they can do a decent conclusion since it got cancelled : /
I agree entirely with the last part of the paragraph about Ashes to Ashes. And it does feel the same for me as Lost (only on a much less soul destroying scale, clearly :-P) - I am glad we are actually going to get to the end, but on the other hand I really don't *want* to get to the end in case it ruins what's gone before. I didn't watch A2A at first *because* I thought the end of LOM was so good (even though I wasn't a massive fan of the series as a whole) and didn't want them to go messing around in the same "universe" - but then it was a very different style and really nothing to do with LOM at all. But now...Well, eep, basically.
I am ridiculously in love with Doctor Who at the moment (I feel like I want to make a post about why but fear it will just turn into incoherent squeeing) but even I didn't think the angels would finally scare me (I am the only person alive who was completly underwhelmed by Blink). But in part 2 of the twoparter, they did.
I was thinking of the Lost connection just in terms of general... end of show anxieties... but then once I got to the whole angel/demon thing I was like, WAIT WHAT NO HOW DO I KEEP GETTING EMOTIONALLY INVESTED IN (PROBABLY) SATAN?? Like, when and how did that become a habit? SIGH SIGH. And, yes, exactly this:
but then it was a very different style and really nothing to do with LOM at all.
They were so very much their own creatures that issues of A2A "mucking up" LOM didn't really bother me. In a way I always felt that LOM really was all in Sam's head; but in a way that was most real to him (I guess the Dumbledorian thing, then? "Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?"); but then it was also a very personal, closed reality. I never saw Alex as living in that same world, then -- I've always loved how meta A2A is, and to me it always reads as a piece of LOM fanfiction that Alex is unwittingly writing for herself -- but at the same time, then it's her world. ...And of

Because the writers want you to I suppose? Although regarding Lost, I am slightly concerned by how much I am still convinced that MIB has a point and that Jacob is an ass despite the fact that the writers have *said* MIB is the big bad. (But but but, they haven't said Jacob is good!) I am horribly swayed by good acting? I still have a bit I cut out of a magazine with Michael Emerson saying the writers keep trying to make him think Ben is actually the Antichrist stuck on my wall just to remind me of the absurdity of what is bearable in story that would be terrifyingly horrific in real life!

Yes, this exactly. :) And I can see why if one was very into LOM one could be worried at this point, although I think it would be a hard heart that could dislike A2A's existance full stop.
I thought my affection and glee was due in high part to this being my "first" proper
