Sup y'all. It's been a while hasnt it? School kept me away from all of you wonderful people. But not anymore! anyway Let's talk about Tv. I have alot to say about it this evening.

Glee: I am feeling very frustrated with this show lately. When I first started watching this show, there was four things that stuck out to me and made me want to watch

Well you know this already but that was one of my biggest issues with Glee: that I was hoping that it would focus on the stellar young cast of students and their individual and unique struggles with their talents and being in the glee club, but it ended up being all about love triangles and cheating on each other, etc etc. It's too bad that it's making you mad since you seemed to really like it at first D:

Agreed though--Sue is AWESOME. And mostly because she's entertaining, not irritating like most everyone else XD Tim Roth is a genius too &hearts

[sisterjune]

I dont hate it yet but yeah I'm starting to reach the limit of my patience with this show. It sucks because it has GOOD parts, really good parts and a great cast. and yet there is just so much going wrong. It's depressing. if it was just an all around shitty show it wouldnt be this frustrating.

I LOVE SUE OMG. I never laugh as hard as when she is onscreen. and yes I have a Roth fixatoin now. I am finally going to reservoir dogs now. and a bunch of other stuff he was in if I can manage it! *needs to find a roth icon*

-sigh- Well I'm glad I didn't start to watch Glee; I would be livid if I got attatched to it and then it turned so shitty. I think I may watch S3 of Skins, just because I think Luke Pasqualino is hot.

House should have really stopped long ago. Or, the writers shouldn't have drawn out the story so much.

[sisterjune]

Awwww, well I'd say still give it a try cause it has lots of lovely moments and we can bitch about it together when it's being dumb. lol and I thought Luke was cute too until I actually saw S3 and his character annoyed the BEJEEZUS out of me. it's the same as the will problem, we are supposed to like and sympathize with him but he is a passive agressive douchebag. but I'd say it's worth suffering through S3 for the awesomeness of Naomi and the adorableness of JJ and Thomas.

I love Hugh Laurie alot so I'm glad he got such a lucrative gig. and the funny thing is house could be such a great show if it had less mediocre writers. (that's how i feel about lie to me too but they have a more interesting premise and the female characters are better written-with the exception of Cuddy who is awesome)

Completely agree with you on Glee. I loved it at the start, but as I got into the later eps, it just sort of lost it for me. The Terri/Will baby plotline is SO BORING and the Finn/Quinn one is not much better. Agree about Mercedes as well, her voice knocks me out.

And I don't think the guy who plays Finn can really sing, he has a LOT of postproduction shit added to his voice. But Sue is my favourite of all. Also Kurt.

Oh, I forgot to mention how much I love Lie to Me! I started watching it because of Tim Roth last year, and now I am all kinds of hooked. As far as proceedurals go, I only watch it and Bones, and I like it so much better than Bones.

I also think Tim Roth is all kinds of attactive. I love that they don't cover up the tattoo on his arm!

[sisterjune]

Word word and word. I just feel deeply upset at how such a great concept has been run into the ground. It's just unfair how little variety there is on broadcast tv lately, and when Ithought Glee was the face of a brave new world of tv, here it goes just doin the same old shit every other fucking show does. It wouldnt even be as BAD if they'd just focus on the damn children! I love Sue so much, she is definitely my fave character and Kurt is so adorable I want to take him home with me and make him my little sister

[podsnappery]

You will be happy to know that Stephen has been on the show four times, this is his fifth! He plays a psychologist or a psychiatrist that treats the main character. And he keeps his English accent! He basically just plays Stephen Fry, but that's the way I like him so I'm happy!

I just like the English in general haha.

I really want Glee to get better. :(

[whited_79]

told you! told you Lie To Me is amazing! XD and Tim Roth is just wonderful he's my favourite on TV right now besides Simon Baker! XD

[sisterjune]

LOL. did you? I totally forgot! I remember I just randomly decided to watch it a couple of weeks ago cause I knew tim roth was in it and I was like "he's a cool dude" so I figure I'll check it out and sure enough it AWESOME and at least 70% of that is because of Roth. The other 30% is a mixture of the lovely kelli williams, the cool premise, and emily's deer in the headlight eyes. (ok not so much the last one)

Hee Baker <3 It's so funny I find someone classically handsome like Baker attractive, and yet I also find a weird little (and pushing fifty!) dude like Roth crazy hot as well and it's pretty much all attitude, though they are about as different as night and day. Alot of people comparing Cal to House, but I never really warmed to House the way I have Cal...huh, wonder why.

[whited_79]

well maybe not exactly in those words LOL! but I remembered telling you that one of my fav characters on TV at the moment is Cal, I think during the time when you did your top 10 female characters or something?

those two really have a little bit of a similarity...Cal became the mean one as he is because of his time in Africa, while Jane has a really brutal past! and I love the chemistry between them and their female partners, they're lovely! XD

I hate to sound like the "Avatar: The Last Airbender" fans who were mad about the casting of the live action movie - in the cartoon, the characters were Asian, but live action they are white. But I was thinking about this the other day. Why hasn't Tina had a show stopping song? And furthermore, why wasn't that actress cast as Rachael? Why wasn't Mercades cast as Rachael? Why does the preppy white chick get to play the lead? I realize that the show is about caricatures of people, but let's get some of the other cast to do some songs, please!

I actually like the pregnancy story line, but I think that Fin is so stupid for thinking he's the father even tho he hasn't had sex with her, and I keep waiting for that to come back up, but it hasn't.

I love Community! Abed is my favorite character. I loved how Duncan proved the Duncan principal by getting mad waiting for Abed to leave! I've been watching Lie to Me & the Mentalist, too!

[sisterjune]

You absolutely should not hate to sound like those people, because I am one of them (I am a big avatar fan but i never blogged about it since at the time it was still airing I didnt really have any avatar buddies nor did I blog much about tv in general) and I think whitewashing is a serious issue and anyone who thinks otherwise I gaurantee you is 1. White and 2. has no idea how privelaged and favored they are in media depictions of any kind, be it film, book covers, comics-the list could go on and on. But you know the thing about privelage is never having to think about it. So of course hearing these fans *gasp* have the audacity to complain that the cultural heritage behind the show is not being honored and asians should be able to star in big budget fantasy flicks too (especially since slumdog millionare was FULL of indians and did very damned well for itself in the box office tyvm) would annoy them, since it's not like they ever had to worry about finding enough white characters to identify with in their favorite media. *fumes

[banana_cave]

I guess I am one of those Avatar people, too, haha. I am white, and in my adult life I have realized that I am privileged. I appreciate casts with people who are best for the role, regardless of race, but there is definitely "whitewashing" that happens.

When I was reading the Glee cast bios, I thought I read that the actress who played Tina was in Les Mis as Epiponine (?). So you know she can sing! So why hasn't she yet? Why haven't more of the Glee club members been featured? You brought up a good point that even tho Kurt got his own episode, he hasn't been featured in a song yet.

Roth was in a movie version of Rosencrantz & Guildernstern? That's awesome! I've never read it, either, but I love Hamlet. I'll have to check it out.
