tv ate my brain and now i don't have one
I am still sick. I am so bored of it now. I have done no writing for like a month and all I do is sleep and watch TV. TV rules.
In the past couple of weeks I've watched all of Grey's Anatomy, One Tree Hill and Friday Night Lights and I've rewatched seasons 1 & 2 of Gilmore Girls and season 2 of Arrested Development, as well as all my regularly scheduled programming. I think I need some sort of 12 Step Program for TVaholics.
Also? I am so freaking in love with the Black Donnellys that it makes my head explode. The stupid site won't let me watch the episode 3 thinger though, does anyone know where else I could watch it?
Anyway, I have things to say about all this TV. Important, riveting things, hidden under incredibly tempting LJ cuts...
The Black Donnellys
I am in love with Kevin. I am so in love with Kevin. I'm a little in love with Tommy too and more than a little in love with Tommy/Kevin. I love how Kevin wanted to take the ransom money to the track. I love how he's just kind of dumb. And how he couldn't help Tommy put the guy in the thinger, and the look on Tommy's face! And then he showed up in the bar to have Tommy's back. I love this show. I really want Tommy to be big Irish Mafia Boss in a dapper suit, ordering hits on people and whatnot. I don't know why, but I just really want that.
Those Hawaiian shirts are so freaking ugly and I love how Jimmy was wearing his in prison.
It seems like the flist is pretty divided on their love for this show, people are either really loving it or just not getting it. Maybe you need a big, sometimes kinda dumb Irish family to really get it? Thoughts?
One Tree Hill
Sometimes I have issues with Chad's hair. And he seems to be wearing more eyeliner in season 4, even before his goth-makeover.
I have a bit of a girl-crush on Peyton, but only when she has curls. I love how Peyton could easily have been this terribly annoying whiny biatch, but instead she's just kind of like a real person.
I like Dan. I want Dan to be good. He makes me chuckle. But I wish he hadn't killed Keith, because I liked him and was terribly distressed when he died. Though sometimes Keith had this creepy eye thing going, and sometimes his storylines bugged me.
Mouth and Brooke need to hook up, stat. And they should bring Tim back, because he made me chuckle too.
I also want to read really dirty Lucas/Nathan/Hayley porn. Is that wrong?
Grey's Anatomy
What is it this year with people having near-death out-of-body experiences? And it didn't even have any point in Grey's Anatomy, unless the point was to see JDM looking super-fine, which he did. So did Coach Taylor. But, "oh, I'm going to drown because my mother said I was ordinary" is the lamest thing ever. Dear Meredith Grey, plz grow a pair, love Ant.
I have a massive girl-crush on Izzie. I want her to come live at my house and bake for me. We could watch season 1 of Supernatural together and talk about JDM looking super-fine. It would be a blast.
I think the whole Denny thing would've been more upsetting if I hadn't known it was coming, but it was still pretty darn sad. I mean, he was some sort of hot. And charming. And his voice! His voice does something to my girl parts. I think I could happily listen to him read the phone book. He is so much hotter than McDreamy, he is McAWESOME!
Though I don't get why the interns and Bailey are working in the clinic, shouldn't they have hired other doctors for that?
I want to be a surgeon so I can play with people's insides and drill into their skulls and whatnot.
Friday Night Lights
Dude! This show is just awesome. I don't even really understand American Football and I still love it.
I have a bit of a girl-crush on Tyra. And also a little bit on Mrs Coach. And I kind of want to read really dirty Tyra/Mrs Coach porn, is that wrong?
I love love love Landry. And I kind of want to read really dirty Landry/Riggins/Saracen porn and nobody can tell me that's wrong because how awesome would it be?
Lyla Garrety bugs me, I think because she is exactly like those girls in high school, you know? And I don't care that much about Street, but his tell-it-like-it-is buddy makes me chuckle.
Matt and Julie are so adorable, just how you always wanted your first love to be, only it wasn't because your first love was actually more like Riggins, in that he was pretty darn hot but also a freaking jerk when he wanted to be. And Coach and Mrs Coach are also adorable and how you want your marriage to be, only not with Buddy Garrety crashing on your couch because he gives me the heebie-jeebies. (I just wrote "crashing on your coach", which is a whole other level of disturbing.)
Anyway, go Panthers!
Gilmore Girls
Dear Rory Gilmore, plz be getting your skank hands off my men, love Ant.
Honestly! I kind of wanted to rewatch GG to see if Rory and Lorelai were just as annoying in the start or if it was just that I was a bit sick of the whole show, and for the first maybe three episodes, they were okay.
Let me start with Rory, because I take her offences more personally.
Everyone goes on about what a sweet, nice kid she is, but frankly I've never seen any proof of it. Just because people say she is nice, doesn't make me identify with her and just because someone is the main character on a show, doesn't make me identify with her. I have never seen her do anything good. It's not that she makes mistakes or screws things up, it's that she thinks she is the princess in her own little world and can therefore treat people any way she likes. The way she treats people is abominable. Case in point #1: Tristan. Tristan was never mean to her, the worst thing he did was call her "Mary", which frankly was never insulting and just kind of cute. And she is really cutting to him, mean and belittling. RUN AWAY TO TREE HILL, PRETTY BLONDE BOY! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!
Case in point #2: Paris. Okay, so Paris can be a little intense, especially in the beginning, but after seven seasons, Rory still treats her like an adversary. She's so patronising to Paris, and Paris made all those nifty charts and things to HELP Rory out and Rory is all just like I want to go hang out with the shiny hair and bright lipstick girl from Veronica Mars. She always dumps Paris as soon as someone better comes along. And the way she handled the whole thing with Paris being the editor of the Yale paper thinger was badly done and not how a friend would act at all. WATCH OUT RORY OR PARIS WILL GET HER KICKARSE MAN KELLERMAN TO PUMP YOU FULL OF LEAD!
Case in point #3: Lane. Rory says Lane is her best friend, but she is never there for Lane, she's always brushing Lane off for whatever reason, any time Lane wants a favour, Rory acts like it's a huge deal but when she wants something it's all like "Lane, you're my BFF". Just buy her that Velvet Underground album already and STFU about it.
And most importantly, Case in point #4: DEAN! Dean is the sweetest, loveliest most wonderous boy ON THE PLANET and Rory ruins his life. Whenever he wants to spend time with her she acts like it's such a hassle and "oh I have to plan extra-curricular activities" or "oh I have to do washing and eat burgers with Jess and then lie to you about it" and they're always mocking Dean for calling her when HE'S JUST DOING IT BECAUSE HE CARES. And if she likes Jess so much, why doesn't she just break up with Dean and go out with him. IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE, RORY GILMORE, YOU CHEATING CHEATER. Also, she breaks up Dean's marriage and then acts like she's ENTITLED. RUN AWAY, DEAN FORRESTER! RUN AWAY TO STANFORD AND THEN TO THE WAITING ARMS OF YOUR HOT BROTHER! RUN LIKE THE WIND!!!
There are more, pretty much every character in the show, but I feel a little spent.
Rory Gilmore, your soul is black. And you weren't very nice to Jess either, when you finally did hook up with him. Also, your hair is stupid and you always look so smug. Dean and Jess should run away together and be pretty boy with emo hair and superpowers together. That would be AWESOME!
Lorelai also bugs me, mostly because her character hasn't evolved at all from the first season. She still can't commit to a man, she's mean to people all the time when she thinks she's being witty but really isn't. MAYBE MICHEL WOULDN'T BE SO RUDE TO YOU IF YOU WEREN'T RUDE TO HIM, LORELAI! And she's a crap-arse friend to Suki too. She just acts so selfishly all the time. And she was mean to Jess. And Kirk. Also, she thinks she's so much better than everyone else. She does have a great arse though, I'll give her that.
And she goes on all the time about raising Rory on her own. Now, my sister had a baby when she was young, put herself through university and held down a full-time job and every second thing that comes out of her mouth isn't "I had a baby when I was young, put myself through university and held down a full-time job", and she didn't have rich parents to fall back on. Dear Lorelai Gilmore, plz be sucking it up now, love Ant.
If I was Luke, I would be totally hooking up with Sherrilyn Fenn, because she is hot.
Oooh, I have hot cross buns!
Arrested Development
STEVE HOLT!
That is all.
Prison Break
I had Caroline Reynolds in the death tipping, so I was pretty bummed when she didn't bite it. But I was pretty amused at the OMG STEADMANCEST! Dude, that is just creepy. It's only hot when it's hot brothers, you know?
People need to not beat up on Michael, because it makes me very sad.
Papi needs to be safe. I worry for him and his adorably large chin. He needs to be reunited with Michael and then things will be okay again.
I worry for Sara too. I worry for pretty much everyone, except C-Note because he bores me.
I felt bad for Teddy, losing his money.
I don't think I can remember anything else that happened.
Next I am going to try to give Smallville another shot and rewatch Supernatural. I have this idea in my head where I want to write a slightly AU, slightly Wincest episode-by-episode coda-type-thinger. Has that idea been done to death? It seems like the kind of idea that would be done to death, but I want to do it anyway.
Also? Jensen Ackles needs to stop being so hot or I will never get anything done ever again and just keep staring at those pretty pics that are everywhere.
