This Week In Fandom

top-chef-thumbBoo! Top Chef sent the darling Fabio home and left cry-baby Hosea there. Let’s see, out of the last few chefs: Jamie-fun and lots of personality (GONE), Leah-female Hosea, blech (GONE), Fabio-cute and personable (GONE…boo). Chefs remaining: Stefan-hate if you want, I love his snarky style, Carla-literally crazy and fun, Hosea-a panting puppy (love me, love my food, huhuhu).

Lost was, apparently on this week. Survivor is still in the early rounds, so we don’t really get to know anyone yet. I think my love for Ugly Betty is now tainted by the news that America is a diva and very demanding on set. I’m not as into it as I was. TAR was good, but I’m already over the “human triumph” angle. Lose it…now. The SG-1 reruns on Sci-Fi finished Season 8 this week–undoubtedly the best shows I watched all week.

I’m holding my latest episode of Legend of the Seeker until I finish housework, otherwise, I’d probably be loving it in this very post.

In other news, I bought a Red Zune 80GB from a student this week. I’ve named it HobStar Red, and I’m debating giving HobStar to my brother, who has expressed a shocking interest in it. HobStar Red already contains everything that was on HobStar as well as all of S4 of Doctor Who. Gotta love that!

Oh, really?

I sit here, week after week, just hoping for 10:00 to get here so this crap will be one step closer to finished. Really, LOST? REALLY?!? Not “Wow!” Not “Cool!” Not in a good way, just, honestly, really?

Jin. Alive. In the past. With pregnant Danielle (who in NO WAY resembles Mira Furlan). Oh, god, really? *groans* The only hope I get from this episode is that Juliet will now die since she’s got the nosebleedy thing. DIE!

In conclusion: Really?

All I Forgot

Oh, snap! I totally forgot the island disappeared. I forgot Sawyer jumped off of the helicopter. I forgot there was a helicopter. I forgot Jin may have blown up. I forgot that Hurly was so loveable. I forgot that I used to love this show.

What I didn’t forget was that I don’t like it anymore. My current plan is to give it a shot, forward through any scenes with Faraday (DAMMIT. First scene in and there’s his dumbass face. :cussing: ) It’s not hard to hate this show. I had a whole list of things I forgot, but I can’t be bothered with it now.

[Edit: 9:45pm OK, Heroes is more believable than this. True.]

Happy Birthday Dad

Today is my dad’s birthday and even though I have a pretty bad Spring cold, I’ll be going to his house to celebrate. Happy Day, Dad! :love: I spent a little time up there yesterday, as I had to have someone escort me to the Praxis II exam I had to take in order to be certified for my job. I have NO IDEA how I did on that test. I am an excellent test taker (as I’ve stated in the past), but this wasn’t a test of counseling. This was a test of common sense, which could be bad for ol’ Jenny-Girl. Heh.

Allow me, for a moment, to speak televisionally. LOST, as we knew and loved, is completely done. I have achieved closure now, and can nearly watch the show again. I’ve accepted that the show is about some old white men and their ridiculous dealings. What it is NOT is a show about the survivors of a plane crash. This became evident during the last episode, where it was “Elsewhere on the island, some people were seen on a beach.” The stories of Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Locke, Michael, Walt, Sun, Jin, Hurley, Charlie, Claire, Shannon, Boone, etc. are meaningless. They are nothing but side plots now. When all is said and done, they will be afterthoughts in the synopsis of the show. The end of the synopsis will read, “…and survivors of a plane crash caused by the island were featured in flashbacks and later, flashforwards due to their contact with Ben and Mr. Widmore.) *sigh* I miss the first year so much. Now that the smokemonster (which is a stupid device, anyway) can be controlled, there’s no inherent fear of the unknown. It really is a show about rich old men playing around with an island. Sad, really.

The two-part Doctor Who episode is here, and Part One was the best of the early season two-parters yet. I enjoyed seeing Martha and Donna together and I’m really looking forward next week. I’ve also started watching The Sarah Jane Adventures on SciFi. I’m content with just watching the episodes there, so I won’t be burning them to disc, but I’m really enjoying the show, kids and all. Lots of fun!
