I did see that, and you're right, they did. Well, actually I think James Marsters looks pretty good. Charisma Carpenter? Hmmm, not so much.

So, did you get a chance to watch Revenge yet? Oh, my poor Jack, though I do think it was a little early for him to be pouring out his heart like that. Still, he was darling, and thats the first time we've seen Emily choke up about anything.

I LOVED Band of Brothers so much. And I think Damian Lewis is doing such a great job of bringing the creepy factor into the role, but keeping it subtle. Homeland is definitely worth the look.

Revenge is becoming a water cooler show! Wish I hadn't started watching too late.

Jennifer Morrison surprised me, as I've never thought much of her. But she was a strong lead here, and Ginnifer Goodwin was equally good. I like the little kid, and the concept. So, I'll keep watching. Now, I didn't love it. For one thing, Lana Parilla's Evil Queen is a bit over-the-top, tilting dangerously toward camp. And I'm not sure this show could've found a more bland Prince Charming if they tried. I don't know, but shouldn't Prince Charming sort of blow your socks off?
I liked the premiere - I thought Goodwin was especially good in teacher-mode. The Evil Queen is camp indeed, as is Robert Carlyle as Rumplestiltskin but I enjoyed both. Agree the Prince is bland but thought the Sheriff quite sexy. (Am betting he's the Wolf!)

I wish I could watch Walking Dead but I'm so squeamish. Had to cover my eyes through much of SPN this week.

Are you going to give Grimm a try? And have you seen any of American Horror Story?

I don't think its too late to get into Revenge. Honestly, its not that complicated. I don't think its a perfect show, but its a juicy, fun show that works.

The Sheriff on OUaT definitely has possibilities. I hope we'll see more of him.

Walking Dead is definitely gory. No doubt. But its so good.

I hadn't planned on watching Grimm, but maybe. I think I'll wait for word of mouth on that.

I decided to skip American Horror Story. My dislike of Ryan Murphy, coupled with my dislike of Dylan McDermott made this a non-starter for me.

TV That I Like.... chatchien October 29 2011, 00:57:27 UTC

Revenge is going well for me too. I like all the characters. I do have a very tepid like for Jack's Lobster Stealing Brother and as for his girlfriend---I like her because she annoys and can play Victoria. I don't think that there are many people who can play Victoria. Or who would want to. Look what happened to Lydia. And Emily/Amanda's dad.

I liked Project Runway until that designer who kept designing clothes for women with Hottentot Butts left. After that---blah! Although Josh? with the Plucked Eyebrows did make those plaid pants that looked like a Black Hole from the Universe had opened up on the Butt of a Model and despite its massive gravity, the Black Hole couldn't quite swallow the Model's Butt. Wow! That was embarassing for the the Model. Don't show that tape around when you are going for Look Sees, honey.

Is Anya going to win this thing? I don't care anymore. She doesn't design for Big Butted Women. Though she could go into Toga making for the Greeks. That is how she makes her clothes---all drape---no tailoring.

OMG, those gifs! LOL

Anya has style, and talent, but she's really a one trick pony here. And I just really don't think you should be winning a clothing design competition when you can't make a sleeve or a jacket. How is that fair to the other competitors who showed much more variety in their collections?

Unfortunately, my fav, Victor, blew it on his runway show.

I definitely recommend giving Homeland a lock see. And I'll say this for Claire Danes, no actress I can think of is willing to look less attractive when she cries or gets angry. Whoa, those are some ugly faces!!

Haven't watched the newest OUaT yet.

I plan to Hulu Once Upon a Time soon and it seems it's worth my time (very important you know)

Saw Supernatural...only the second ep I saw..but Charisma still looked really hot.

Hey, nothing wrong with not wanting to waste your time on bad TV.

I hope you don't mind long comments! :) I had to catch up on my TV watching before I replied to this, sorry. And I've been off of LJ for so long that my icons are hopelessly out of date. I seriously need to update them ( ... )
