a weekend spent with my tv

Aug 08, 2010 21:19

My weekend has consisted of:

- Four episodes of Scarecrow and Mrs. King with the roommate on Friday night. And only four episodes left until we're all done. Sadface.

- Saturday was working out, cleaning, chatting with my mom, then hanging out with enigmaticblues. We chatted for a bit, watched a few episodes of Babylon 5, fangirled Bruce Boxleitner (the man ( Read more... )

I started over from the beginning on B5. I probably won't get through it very quickly, but maybe I can actually make it all the way through S5. (I wouldn't bet on it, though.)

Oh, and you were right. The B5 mantra appears in "A Voice in the Wilderness" but it's in Part I. We were so close!

ETA: I haven't read it yet, but _missmargaret_ has a new fic up, and it's spoiler-free: http://users.livejournal.com/_missmargaret_/187273.html

Well, thanks to you, I have now started over on Farscape. It's a struggle. I can't decide what I want to watch more Bruce Boxleitner being awesome or Ben Browder and Claudia Black being pretty. So I guess I will just have to rotate.

I followed you back! Le gasp! I still can't make myself watch Scarecrow and Mrs. King. I love Bruce Boxleitner but I don't know if I love him that much.

HA! I can't exactly blame you. Will you think less of me if I tell you I only watched Babylon 5 the first time because I had watched Scarecrow and Mrs. King first and I loved me some Bruce and wanted to watch every single thing that he was in?

I know it's a cheesetastic 80's show, but I adore it, so I rewatch it every few years. But when compared to the awesomeness of Babylon 5, well, there's no question which is better.

I don't mind cheese or 80s. I mind...Kate Jackson. I'm working myself up to it! He's just too cute to resist, seriously.

Ah yes, Kate Jackson. You know, I go through phases with her. Sometimes I really like her character, and think she was a pretty kick-ass woman on television in the early 80's. And then other times, her character drives me bonkers and I don't comprehend what Bruce Boxleitner's character would see in her at all. And a good portion of that has to do with Kate Jackson's acting.

But then there is Bruce, being pretty consistently great, and all else is forgiven. Plus, my roommate and I had a really good time making fun of their clothes. :)

Three things:

1) Hi!

2) I'm commenting in your journal before I friend you because when I opened this up and the very first line said "My weekend consisted of: Four episodes of Scarecrow and Mrs. King with the roommate on Friday night", my little Bruce fangirl heart asploded in jealousy that you have someone to share your crush with.

3) I have made it as far as "Mission of Gold" and then I chickened out and stopped watching because this is about where Kate Jackson isn't on the show much anymore (right?) and... is it still good after that? I mean, there must be more Scarecrow, so of course there's more eye candy and THAT'S good, but plot-wise I'm afraid to watch the rest because I'm afraid they will suck and I will be sad. Is it still OK?

1) Hi back ( ... )

Thanks for reading! I have some new stuff in the works but it is... meh. My muse has taken a vacation.

Also thanks for the straight-up truth on SMK. Mission of Gold just broke my heart, but not because of the plot, per se. I was not on the edge of my seat or anything, because, you know. This was the kind of series that always wrapped everything up in a bow at the end of the episode. But because I knew the *reason* this was filmed and the *reason* it was so Scarecrow-centric was that she got cancer, and the show was on its last leg, and so Bruce had to essentially carry it through the rest of the season and... yeah. It made me sadder than it should have and so I'm trying to work up the guts to keep going through the rest of the series.

You're welcome for the truth on SMK. Season 4, man. I always cannot wait to get to it, but then once I hit it, I get sad when I realize it's only about half the season I have to look forward to. But really, watch One Flew East. I really enjoy it. And after that, there's only four or five more episodes. Once you get the guts, I know you can do it. And then you can come whine to me about it.

Or then you can do what I always do when I get to the end of SMK. You can start on Season 2 of Babylon 5. :)
