Television!

[ladyjanelly]

I think I"m at that point in the pregnancy where having cable TV would be a good thing.  I just want to lay on the couch and watch whatever comes on.  Like--a 6 hr marathon of 10 year old ER episodes.  Or to cry over Animal Cops.  Three episodes of NYPD Blue every day.  I remember these things from last time we had cable (like 4 yrs ago?)

Anyway, actually going through titles and stuff and deciding that I want to watch stuff on Hulu is nowhere as relaxing but yeah. Been watching a lot of TV these days.

Life--
Holy crap.  The season finale.  Tell me somebody else saw this?  Charlie's "How I survived 12 years in prison" has got to be the best 12 seconds of tv I've seen in a loooong time.  Oh, hell yeah..

 .Dollhouse ep 9
Wow.  I sort of hated the first episode of this that I saw (I think it was #3, the one with the outdoorsman guy?) but around ep 6, people on my flist started buzzing about it and Ihad nothing better to do so I went and watched all that were still available from Hulu (Still haven't seen 1&2).  9 just blew me away, I can't remember seeing that many revelations in a single episode and having them all fit in a cohesive and exciting way before.  
 
T:SCC season finale
I dunno.  It wasn't quite as smooth as it could have been or something.  I need to watch it again and see if I can figure out what I feel about it..

Doctor Who
Okay, it was fun, but somewhat lacking in substance.
Unless later it turns out that the manta-ray thingies are constructed by some evil force because seriously, I don't see how they evolved.  But as a weapon?  They're awesome..

Kings
How can a show this boring be so hard to look away from?  I'm not kidding.  I think part of the appeal is that the hubby and I just watched a documentary on the biblical David and wow.  Not a nice guy.  We keep waiting for this one to start crucifying the king's young grandsons.

I adore Life and the ending was seriously kick-ass. I haven't seen anything better in quite some time. Reading the other comments in seems that this is the one thing that people can whole-heartedly agree on. *G*

As far as Dollhouse is concerned, I like it. I saw the potential from the beginning and I've had faith in Joss all along not to lead me down the path to disappointment. I think the situations in the original episodes were purposely disturbing to show us just what the whole tone of the Dollhouse was.

T:SCC - people were bemoaning the fact that they'd killed off Derek but I had a feeling he'd be back somehow. And yeah, the episode was a little jerky and disjointed like they had a lot more footage filmed and too much of it was cut out. But you can't tell me that 'sex scene' between John and Cameron was disturbingly hot. *G*

Didn't watch Doctor Who and I gave up on Kings a couple of weeks ago. It's not disturbing me in the least that it's canceled. It had some great potential but as far as I'm concerned it was flailing from the beginning.
