The Science

1,491 Comments

Of all the shows airing this fall, none has me more excited than Fringe. When the pilot leaked, I must have watched it at least twenty times in anticipation of the series premiere. I can still tell you every little difference in the two versions. I also looped each episode once it aired in anticipation of the next week’s (or just “next” as the case too often was) episode. Over the summer, I found myself looping all of Season 1 quite a few times in anticipation of Season 2.

So as you can see, I really am a fan, but some of the casting rumors (some confirmed) have me a little concerned. I’m not sure what’s going on with Charlie, but especially after seeing the Season 1 gag reel, I really, REALLY hope he stays around in this dimension or another we get to see. I also pretty much want no females other than Olivia and Astrid. I know that sounds backward of me, but it’s true. I like to watch the boys’ game. So, there, I’ve said it. Keep Charlie, ditch the new chick. Now.

The Secret

In less than two weeks, a show that I very much love returns: Merlin. This seems to be a love it or hate it show in most circles, but as long as it’s returning, I don’t really care what the haters say. I didn’t see what NBC did to it stateside because of my aforementioned difficulty in receiving local channels without altering my viewing habits and the inability to DVR the shows.

The new Series 2 trailer was just released and it did not disappoint. There seemed to be the development of a lot more peril than just the “monster of the week” we largely saw in Series 1. I think it’s not spoilery for me to say there was also a little romance. Oh, if they only knew….

Aside from watching the adorably dorky Merlin becoming more skilled as a sorcerer, I am most importantly awaiting the return of Lancelot (which happens, people, oh yes, it happens–possibly more than once).

Gravity, Party of One

447 Comments

Based primarily on Ben’s recommendation (and some twitter friends’ interest), I’m catching up on back episodes of Defying Gravity. I can’t say it’s one of my favorite shows, but I suppose it’s interesting enough.

The plot is very, very slow paced. Even the flashbacks aren’t particularly exciting, but remain interesting. Ajay is probably the first character to ever tug at my heartstrings so quickly and I guess I should be glad he’s where he is, but it’s just heartbreaking to watch. There are hints at a few mysteries, but the biggest one of all is what the hell happened to Malik Yoba, who used to be one of the hottest things in Hollywood. In a way, it’s refreshing that he doesn’t have to rely on his hotness to be a good actor, but then again, it never hurts.

I don’t think I’ll be staying up late on Sunday nights to watch first-run, but I will consider DVR and Hulu.

There’s no doubt in my mind that if I was still using any of my old themes for this site, I would totally have a “Being Human” theme. I seriously love these guys, and I can’t wait until the new series arrives. Sure, filming it is a great first step, but I’m ready NOW.

As much as I abhor Youtube, I saw this on one of my BH communities on LJ and felt compelled to not only watch, but add it here, as well. I may have even recruited a new fan in my dad. He asked for the “Must See” list of the moment and after I told him a very basic outline of the show, he asked, “Do they act like vampires, werewolves, and ghosts?” Apparently, since they do, at least at times, he’s in. Niiiice.
