Spike ,'Sleeper'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Did I maybe catch a bad ep when I watched this because I really didn't feel any love for it? And yet people whose tastes often mirror mine (not Joss, people here) are in total infatuation... I'm going to have to try again from the beginning, aren't I?
cass, I'm totally feeling the same way. I watched an ep or two, and didn't feel the love. It wasn't bad, just didn't grab my attention.
I was too irritated by Veronica herself to watch more than a few eps. And then something else was on at the same time, so I stopped caring.
You do realize that this is your fault, Fay. Right? Because it totally is. I read you watching the show and suddenly needed to feel that same thing. Evil, I tell you.
I am resigned. I shall marathon Mars. I was shamelessly spoiled reading here but convienently forgot all of the twists so I shall be spoiled *and* surprised for the same show when I watch.
Well if it doesn't grab me, I have no trouble tossing her to the curb. There are enough fans that my viewing habits aren't worth a hill of beans in this crazy world. But if I caught a bad ep, I should see if it can pull itself out. I caught a bad ep of Buffy early on and missed years...
I have this feeling that I should watch from the beginning. or maybe I'm wrong and can just jump in?
And then something else was on at the same time, so I stopped caring.
yeah, that too. I didn't feel the need to go through the hassle for something that wasn't that great.
Some people doen't even like Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
Some people juggle geese.
It left me cold as well, but as so many folks here love it I assume I'm suffering from an Alias-style blind spot to the show.
I'm not going to say why you should like it; this is why I do like it.
It possesses Buffy-nature in three important ways:
On the downside, the actors aren't terribly convincing as high-school students (Veronica's supposed to be a sophomore, I think). I can hadnwave past that.
I'm going to have to ahem VM now, aren't I? Damn you enablers, damn you all.
Veronica's a Junior in season 1.
One of the things that I like is that while Veronica can and does pull the wool over her father's eyes, she never gets aways with it for very long. She's smart, but her dad is just as smart and vastly more experienced and it shows.
