Season’s End (Love)

1,360 Comments

fringeIn the battle for television supremacy, I’m going to give the very slightest of edge to Fringe. The season ended on an intriguing note, and the show is holding up well in the DVD loop. I’m looking forward to next season more so than any other show, so that’s why I’m giving it the edge.

seekerComing in a very close second is Legend of the Seeker. Although I frequently hold episodes (sometimes for weeks) before watching, I am always pleased with this show. I squee every time there’s a R/K moment and laugh at Zedd’s zany idiosyncrasies. I get wrapped up in each episode’s adventure as if it’s a feature film, and the cinematography is stunning enough to make it feel like a feature at times.

I had a hard time leaving out Dexter, but I feel there is a lot more Dexter-love to come when the new season starts up. Harper’s Island has proven to be more fun than cerebral, but that’s acceptable. After all, it is the only show my brother and I love together.

With RL work kicking into noose-gear, I don’t know when I’ll have the hate post up, but I think you know which show will top that very long list….heh.

Even Filler is Good

seeker Filler ep this week, but I still love this show. When it first started, I watched and enjoyed it, but thought it more of a passing interest like True Blood had been. I was so wrong. I’m now in the process of getting all the back episodes to go with the ones on my DVR. With any luck, I’ll get the first half of S1 burned before bed.

Primeval was kind of good. That’s about all I can say, really. I saw whut they did thar, and I like it, but it isn’t enough to produce hardcore fandom love. I definitely have to give the Saturday night smackdown title to Robin Hood, though I figured that would be the case going in. Heh.

Visits and Viewing

Robin Hood Logo That was good. Though I had a moment of “I miss Will,” I was really pleased with the season premiere of Robin Hood. Actually, I’m still smiling and so relieved that it has taken on a new vibe, but held to the core purpose. I can’t wait for more! As usual, I’m still holding Legend of the Seeker until later today, so perhaps after viewing Seeker and Primeval, I’ll have even more to babble about.

Ben’s visit was the best in years. We had El Mariachi, shopping, Starbucks chai lattes, and fun with component cables. Truthfully, I fixed the problem with the DVD player this morning, but I could not have done it without Ben’s help from last night. He connected the cables expertly, but I neglected to check the settings on just one thing; the DVD player itself. After waking with this revelation, I reconnected everything just as he had done, changed the settings and BAM! Awesome picture. I just had to watch Robin Hood again at that point (you know, just to check out the cables 😉 ). Thanks, Ben!!

And So It Gets Better

Work is becoming nearly fun again. We’ve defined our priorities, and though they are not my own personal priorities, I will go along with them. Maybe this Spring’s “Blah Bout” is going to be the shortest-lived yet! I’m feeling quite optimistic about most things, and though we all want things we can never have (NIN reference, y’all), that’s what keeps our devious little minds going.

Ben is coming down for a quick visit later and we get Legend of the Seeker, Robin Hood, and Primeval today. Not bad at all!
