Too bad old Brian hasn't had a good role since.
OK, I grant you the right to like NCIS because you admit it's a CSI rip-off. The funny thing I thought when I was watching it was that it was more like the original CSI than CSI itself is these days, what with Goth!Chick running shit through spectrometers and the funky music of "Investigating! Invisible Things! Which We Will Make Visible By Spraying Cool Colored Gases On!"
Wanna hear something else that amuses me? When I first heard about the new show called CSI, I made so much fun of it and was all, "Who in their right mind would watch a show called 'Crime Scene Investigation'??? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!" Shows what I know.
You know, the guy in fatigues who looked like Adam Baldwin?
As aforementioned, I was just listening when I heard JB's voice. But not AB's. I don't hate NCIS, but don't love it either. I had started watching the earlier one last night, but last night it was just to gorey for me. Plus, my new computer at home finally works, and I was playing.
I think Sean was talking to me, since I actually did see most of it and thus had no excuse for not recognizing AB, other than his hat and the fact that he looked practically unrecognizable.
It's OK because we are sharing a brain at the moment anyway (see my post in Firefly). Not trying to be stalkative (tm Cleolinda) - it just so happens I'm online & posting in same threads.
Wheee! My Angel Season 1 DVDs came via UPS yesterday. Now I have to figure out how to stay awake long enough to watch Lost and at least one of the commentary episodes.
Mine came the same day. I heart DVD clearance sales.
Saw the Firefly post. Perhaps we are co-stalking. I'm going to stop, though, as I must sleep tonight.
Ah, watched the commentary for "City of..." last night. At one point Joss said that he and Greenwalt didn't want to write a straight action hero. While I realize what he actually meant, you just have to admire how easily that statement can be turned around.
I just watched "Supersymmetry," which was the only episode I hadn't seen.
Now the show is
really
over for me. *sniff*
It bugged me the entire season because I saw the same scene in the Previouslies over and over, but I didn't have it in the context of the episode. And it's so pivotal in terms of Fred, Gunn, and their relationship.
It was kind of cool to see Fred being so proactive and intentionally rallying against the common view of her (now I better understand the criticisms of her behavior in "A Hole in the World"). The shift to "I'm going to KILL him" seemed a bit abrupt, though.
And most importantly, all this time, maybe I hadn't watched the Previouslies closely enough or something, I had always thought Gunn had killed the professor by pushing him into the portal. But damn, he actually
snapped his fucking neck
first. This makes his later neck-snapping of that boy in the sewers even more meaningful, as well as his behavior at the end of Season Five. The man has a lot to atone for.
It said a lot about him that, in that moment, he chose to take on the responsibility so Fred wouldn't be burdened with that guilt. I'm glad I finally got to see it for myself.
