I think I'd have to watch this episode at least two more times before being able to properly analyze. Damn them for believing there is such a thing as an intelligent audiance! For now, let me just say I loved it. The twist, if you can call it that, I think most of us figured out right away, but it was an incredibly well written episode and Hugh Laurie deserves that Emmy NOW, so I was able to forgive some predictable bits. Oh, and thank you dear writers for this line, "I’m almost always eventually right ." That sums of the PotW stories quite nicely. ;)

Some quick thoughts about tonight’s ‘House’. )

[info]cathyteach2, I’m guessing you didn’t make it to the end of this episode?

Cut for 'Euphoria'  )

Prepping for fic writing I rewatched some BSG today including ‘Black Market’. Seriously, watching that episode makes me brain hurt. I just have a need to make sense of it within the context of the entire series. And I think I may have. I need to finesse my fanwank theory a bit more though.

And it looks as if my ‘Doctor Who’ torrent finally finished. I should say my fifth torrent. Three wouldn’t get moving at all and the other was on pace to take a week.

I'm really, really sleepy so deep thoughts must wait, but I needed to say a few things about tonight's ep before I pass out. House vs God )

Some thoughts on 'House' AKA 'CSI: New Jersey'  )

Some random TV news I picked up today that made me happy…Prison Break got it’s second season pick up from FOX (not a huge shock considering the good ratings after their prolonged break)…Slings & Arrows will be back for a third season! Alas, it also seems to be its final season. That better mean a boxed set of DVDs will be forthcoming…and I don’t know of anyone on my Flist who would consider ‘Stargate’ casting news spoilery, but, just in case….. )

Oh, and 'Scrubs' will soon be available on itunes. Too late NBC, I already downloaded it the old fashioned way! ;p

I know this ep is probably worthy of deeper analysis, but it's late and I'm sleepy, so here are some off the cuff thoughts. (Psst, I liked it *a lot* better than the last ep. ;)

‘Sex Kills’ – Hey, it’s the title, not a judgment. :p  )

I need to thank the anonymous LJ folks who bestowed upon me two boxes of candy. You must know me fairly well since you didn’t go with the flowers. ;)

Last night I watched an episode of ‘Stargate: SG-1’. Why? I’m not exactly certain. It was the ep where Daniel Jackson comes back after pursuing other acting opportunitiesascending. (Why am I using his full name? Damn you T’ealc!) Anyway, Daniel comes back with amnesia and the process of regaining his memories begins. Of course, I should have known this wasn’t going to be wrapped up in an hour. More surprising than that though is that I went “Crap” when I saw “To Be Continued”. I’m finding it deeply disturbing that I cared, how this was to be resolved. Unfortunately, since I went shopping immediately after work tonight, I missed the conclusion. [info]danceswithwords now more than ever I await your recaps. I believe you are still in the midst of Corin Nemic forgettable appearance though so I must wait. : (

In happier news, I just finished watching ‘House’ and…..OMG! My fandoms have collided! This warrants a double spoiler warning for both ‘Distractions’ and ‘Battlestar Galactica’ through ‘Black Market’. )

Why is ‘House’ on at 8 pm EST Monday next week? Are we going to be forced to endure two hours of ‘American Idol’ instead?

Oh, where would one find screencaps for this past weeks BSG? I think I need knew a new pic up on my monitor at work and there were a few nice shots of Jamie in that ep. ;-)

Olympic observation: If looks counted in figure skating, this guy from France would definitely medal. :)

I never did comment on the last ep and with doing travel prep tonight, I really didn't have time to absorb this ep. Well, it looks like we have repeats until February so I guess I shall have plenty of time to post when I get back. I will say this, while i thought tonight's ep wasn't one of the strongest, I really enjoyed seeing the various character interactions with the group dynamic being altered.

And if someone told me two years ago I would be thinking this, I would have laughed at them. )

Now, I'm off to bed at a decent hour, opting to get up early to finish packing. Not too early since my flight doesn't leave until one thank goodness.

There's layer upon layer to dissect with tonight's House. Unfortunately, I had a day filled with highs and lows that's left me mentally depleted. Plus, I just popped a Benadryl because of lovely red blotches currently covering my face. Enough with the whining! I loved tonight's episode and need to share some relatively short thoughts on what I liked best.

Can two pain in the ass doctors be together in a room without driving each other crazy? That question and more was raised in 'TB or Not TB' last night. (I'm not even going to try and top that pun. :)

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, but I was at a loss for anything to say last night. I couldn't even pull out a few lines of dialogue to quote because from beginning to end it was paked with great ones. But as I was lying awake in bed suffering from a headache and trying to distract myself from the pounding behind my eyes, inspiration struck me. 'TB' was an excellent example of how House has managed to avoid what has effected, to varying degrees, many other shows this season - a softmore slump. And this morning my mother made a fascinating point that I completly missed and got me thinking more. Damn her! :p

Here be my thoughts. )

Hey, check out the new 'My LJ' feature on your user info page. Very cool. And birthday reminders! Woo Hoo! :)

My mother tells me the episode name was ‘Humpty Dumpty’, I hope she was right..... )

In other TV news….OK, I’m sorry, I tried really, really hard to like Veronica Mars. But, I just don’t care about any of the characters and if I don’t care about the characters, well, that’s it for me. (Forgive me [info]writteninstars. : ( So, I guess Lost wins my attention by default. Though, should the second ep of the season already have filler?

Tomorrow night Alias premieres. I don’t think I’ll be watching. I’ll tape it and if you all tell me it’s worth a go, I shall watch. Otherwise, I hand wave the last 30 seconds of last season and end it there.

Before you think I’m giving up on everything, I’m still liking Invasion. spoilery thought )

Today I was having a less then spectacular day. There were hormone issues. There were numerous issues with my boss who is beyond clueless in his job (he hasn't bothered to learn who all the attorneys are) and is so self-absorbed he asks us the same questions three and four times a day because he, literally, doesn’t listen to any words unless they come out of his own mouth. All of which led to the headache I currently have.

So, why the squeeing? A month ago I ordered the Battlestar Galactica edition of Starburst, Special 71. It cost me $12. Not bad for ordering a British magazine, but still more than I’d like to spend on a magazine. I arrived home to find in my mailbox a magazine wrapped in grey plastic and, since I don’t have a subscription to any racy magazines, assumed it *finally* had arrived. Let me say people, worth every damn penny. If you can find a copy, grab one. I‘ve only skimmed it thus far, but the pictures are gorgeous (they used the bloody hands! And Lee and Laura! :-). The interviews and articles seem to touch on, for the most part, eps that have already aired in the US. However, there is discussion of one upcoming plot point that, to my knowledge, everyone and their mother seems to know by now.

But, in addition to BSG, there’s a rather lengthy article (again, with great photos) on Serenity, ‘Doctor Who, Then and Now’, an article on ‘Atlantis’ (on visuals as opposed to the characters) and an interview with Brent Spiner discussing Threshhold. I know what I’ll be doing the rest of the week. :)

Now, on to my TV viewing the past two nights…

I just caught Supernatural. Eh. I didn’t find it at all creepy or scary. It also found it to be utterly predictable if you‘ve seen any supernatural horror film over the past few years. And I’m not sure having the two leads be brothers was the best idea.

I’m reserving judgment on Bones for now. I didn’t love it, but I didn’t hate it. The opening sequence was incredibly contrived. small spoiler )? The musical choices were bizarre to say the least… another small spoiler ) The “squints” thing annoyed me. On the plus side, David and Emily did have some nice chemistry. I also wasn’t seeing Angel at all. Overall, it just seemed a lot like every other crime drama on the air right now.

Some thoughts on ‘House’ though I don’t seem to be in full analytical mode yet. )

I hadn’t seen any commercials for ‘Serenity’ outside the Sci-Fi channel until ‘House’. That must have cost Universal a pretty penny. I won’t even get into the irony of it airing on FOX.

Two things about Rescue Me. [info]lynnb you were right! Sadly. And if Dennis Leary doesn’t get an Emmy nomination next year I’ll be very, very pissed.
