You didn't see her nurse somebody through smallpox.
No, I did. (Or the episodes with the girl-child who was orphaned and sick.) And it still didn't do it for me.
Seriously, though, it took several eps for me to get to the Jane love. The first couple of eps would have left me with the same impression as SA.
::shrug:: I watched through episode seven of the first season and couldn't get past it.
Really, I didn't mean to come in here and piss all over your show. Sorry, guys.
That's okay...you expected more heroic...less feet of clay. I can get that.
Best line of last night's Deadwood ep (on DVD, of course) from E.B.:
I've been prostrated by the agonies of the damned.
That was a good one. Love EB's little quisling, comic-relief having ass.(And I know I've been kind of about the oost lately, but I assure you it does not...stir my nether regions, nor inflame my blood.)
Which ep were you watching last night, GC?
Hmmmm, not sure of the name and I don't want to spoil you... The one in which the bank safe arrives? That is NOT the most dramatic moment, though...
It's definitely ahead of me. Are you still on Season 1?
We finished Season 2 tonight. Now anxiously awaiting the DVD release of Season 3...
Damn, guys. I just caught the three aired episodes of Dexter, and I am all about this show. I don't know what it is about crazy serial killers, but I am so right there with this in whatever direction it goes. I think it hits a lot of show-things that click for me--interior monologue, The Pretender-like focus, Criminal Minds/Profiler-interest in specialized murder scenarios, that splash of dark humour. A compelling, more than a little crazy main character, like Jarod (Pretender) or Johnny (The Dead Zone), who still manages to take the piss out of themselves. Add in a compelling season-long mystery, and you've got a recipe for SA-approved success.
Plus, Julie Benz is in it. I mean, she's playing to type--the fragile, broken blonde--but never let it be said that she doesn't play it very well. I wish I had more episodes to watch. Except Dexter keeps *eating* throughout each episode (which is a quirk a la Rusty in Ocean's Eleven, and thus endearing to me) which keeps making me hungry.
