State of the television
I have caught up on Spooks. And I am now starting S4 of The Wire, OMG, what in God's name will I do with myself when I have exhausted both of these wonderful shows? There's another season of Spooks coming up, though, yes? Soon? Anyway, The Wire 4.01, which is paused right now because I just screamed with joy when Prez walked into the school. There's so much to say about this show, but he's just one example of a character who has things to show you over time, things that disgust you, then he blossoms under THE MASTER, LESTER FUCKING FREAMON, then he falls again, and my God, I'm just so happy to see him. And don't even think of spoiling me, or I'll send Omar for your ass.
And I found S8 of Spooks to be rather disappointing as a whole, mostly because Genevieve O'Reilly's Sarah made it impossible to focus anytime she was in a scene with her horrible, horrible American "Southern" by way of Boston or New York or something accent (WE ARE NOW EVEN for James Marsters and the abysmal early Spike accent, I'm just saying). Also, Spooks usually draws me into their labyrinthine plots, and I only need to remember the details to a certain degree to feel completely invested, but S8 just didn't get there. The last two episodes clicked and I was totally gutted for Ros (though spoiled, because random Wikipedia browsing spoiled me for that and for *sob* Adam, don't want to talk about it) and I was basically hanging on every single moment and glance between Harry and Ruth, who I ship forever, even if they die, as everyone eventually does on Spooks.
Rewatching Doctor Who endlessly, with the Christmas special dancing in my head like a far-off sugarplum vision. Trying to vid as time permits. And so that's TV and thankfully there's no time left to post about mundane things, like how my auditing homework is giving me sick headaches.
