Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

DH is nervous as heck about this interview - which means he really wants this one. He had temped for this company at his last job, so they know him - that is a good sign, right?

I'm trying not to get all worried, but he is getting himself in knots over this which appears to be contagous - even with him at home and me at work.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

If not, did you try it and not like it...

This is me. I didn't NOT like it, it just didn't do anything for me. (I may have resented the Buffy comparisons.) I watched probably half of the first season before I gave up.

I have been watching Medium, Criminal Minds, Alias (half-heartedly; I started with the beginning, it's hard to give up on it), Supernatural (silly sometimes, but kind of fun and easy on my brain when I'm tired), Threshold (one of Greg's favs), Bones and Lost (mostly because Greg likes it, though we're several episodes behind). That's more TV than I've watched in ages, and in January we'll be watching BSG, SG:A and SG1 as well. I don't have time for another show. I don't have time for all of these. I was also watching Invasion and Surface, but gave up on them as the least interesting in a far too crowded schedule.

Cindy, to answer your question, I watch, but I don't love it. It doesn't seem even half as good as Buffy to me. It is as ok as any other show I watch, but if I missed an episode, I wouldn't get very upset.

I've been trying to think, and I don't watch any scripted TV anymore, except for the occasional "Crossing Jordan"--though that's mostly to see Dr. Macey and the English guy and to hope Jordan gets smacked down. I get too impatient with the plots. I think what made me not get involved with VM was being tired of teenagers/young adults and their angst. Hubby says I should watch "Bones," and he fully acknowledges the appeal I would find in DB.

Appointment TV for me these days is "Dirty Jobs" and "Mythbusters" on Discovery and anything with Alton Brown. Witty geeks do it for me. I'm practically ready to start writing Mike Rowe fic.

I have not watched VM. So many folks here and on lj adore it, but I have not even given it a go. Have not really considered why not, though.

Mostly lurking...

I have the opportunity to apply for a prize to spend a summer at Oxford University. I think this is the program I would get to do: [link] Doesn't it look cool?

I have to be careful not to get too excited about the opportunity, but it just looks so cool!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I may have resented the Buffy comparisons.

I wouldn't say I resented them exactly, but they don't help. I watch every episode, about on time, but apart from individual characterisations, I'm not grabbed. Some of those individuals (Keith, Logan, sometimes Weevil although I think he's erratically written, and Wallace) are very compelling.

Maybe I'm over TV and can't get into it the way Buffy/Angel/Firefly/Wonderfalls got me in anymore. I don't know. Or maybe that next bright show that suckers me in on many levels just hasn't come along yet. But I shake my head a lot, and don't get the VM hype.

Always Anti-fascist!

I think I'm too busy fiending for The Wire and being David Chase's bitch waiting for more Sopranos to give my heart to any other shows.(I thought we broke up, but I bet Chase could get in my panties again. Coming around with his violence and literate dialogue and source music...that bastard! He doesn't realize I'm my own person now. (/Harmony) But I like VM and Commander and Chief and Everybody Hates Chris. I'm just not in a position for a serious relationship right now. I'm...seperated from several hour-long dramas. It's complicated. And I may have a problem with fictional substances(WMD). You read that right...it's a brand name for really potent heroin in Simonverse Balmer. They had a whole Iraq metaphor last year. It was deep.(I'm not sure I grokked fully, actually.)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I watch it, but drat it, now that Cindy watches it, I know that it is doomed! ;P

It's fun. I'm not fannish about it, exactly, but it's fun. I hesitated, got some burns from a friend, mainlined S1 last June, and decided I'd keep watching.
