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

We watched two episodes last night, and IFG.

If I start humming Danny Boy, just shoot me.

Watched a Bush/Blair song vid to start my day. It was both sad and funny.

Well, they are trying to imitate the US in every possible way, including the running of shows - they pulled "Earshot" (and never showed it in the channel that originally aired BtVS), even though it was months on months after the US release. They delayed by months the broadcast of "Graduation DAY I & II", again, despite it already being shown in the USA.

That's just... wrong.

That's just... wrong.

Well, at least it was delayed until such a date that my friends could throw me a birthday party combined with a group-finale-watching, after all the guests who were not BtVS fans have left. t /Pollyanna Of course, in the middle of the second part I got a phone call from a friend (who couldn't attend) who was in a real need to talk to somebody, so I was on tape-delay in my own group-finale-watching, but that's another story.

[Edit: all sorts of even-y goodness in this post number, because it's 2, 4, 6 and them both 2+6=4+4=8, and 2+4=6 and could this get any mathier geekier?]

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Fearless kept having hallucinations of this friend whose life he'd failed to save in (I presume) the Gulf War (the first one, obv.), who kept popping up to remind him that life was worth living, never put off until tomorrow what you can do today, etc. etc., and even worse, his appearances were introduced each time by a soulful, bluesy trumpet motif.

Oh, is that who that was? I missed the first half of the show. It was much less cheesy when you didn't know the guy was supposed to be a ghost. I just figured it was an old buddy with some issues.

The first few episodes it really didn't grab me, but then it happened to be on once or twice when there was nothing else on that interested me and it seemed to have muchly improved. I like it.

Hey! I don't think it's over praised, really. But I certainly know what you mean.

I think Boomtown is kind of a second-generation post-24 type show. In 24, the format is the star. Same with Boomtown, only, it's just not enough to sustain it.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

What! John, do you cast aspersions on the fuzzy head of my true love, Donnie Wahlberg!

He could be wearing a buny suit and still be worth watching. Okay, he's a local boy made good and done growed up into something not embarrassing. I have to like him. It's the law.

What does the law say about Mark?

(Shamelessly loves both of them.)

I, too, am greatly fond of the Donnie.

Didja see Band of Brothers? Because...wow.

Well, I think any praise of The West Wing is too much, but that's just me.
