Buffy ,'End of Days'
This thread is an experiment to discern the Buffistas' interests in television discussion. It will close on June 1st, 2007, after which our community will assess our future direction. Discuss network aired drama here. [NAFDA]
I was hoping that The Outsider would be available on Netflix's Watch Now thing but it's not.
For those of you haven't tried Watch Now, if you have high speed internet it's great. So far I've watched a few things that I don't mind seeing on my computer (tv shows) and wasn't sure I wanted to waste my queue space on them. The picture quality is just like watching any file I already have.
You get the number of hours equal to how much you pay - so if you are paying $17.99 you get 18 hours.
GG: So at first I was not aware of anything wrong but then I was like, hey - she's graduating from Yale why is she at Chilton? And I realized it was a dream. (Watching the GG Marathon on Sunday is no doubt why it took me a moment to realize the weirdness.)
This stalkery shit is making me not like Chase. I know it's small potatoes on this show, but that is harrassment, and of the "nice guy" kind that drives me batshit.
GG: I really don't know why I didn't expect Lorelai to sing . . . and it could have been much, much worse. Did Zack give up the tour? (I was imagining a turn of events in which Lane stays in Star's Hollow and works at her old job - but whatever.)
No, he's going on the tour without her. And thank God, because I hate him.
I haven't seen the Watch This feature. Of course, I have crappy, crappy, dialup, but I'm planning on upgrading that soon.
Numb3rs-- you know, episodes like this are a huge part of why I watch the show. (The other parts are the Eppes family, who remain awesome.) First, you have death-row guy giving a fantastic, almost virtuoso performance--the moment when he gently takes his daughter's hand and puts his head down in his arms, shaking, was so... so *good.*
Then you have Larry, (yay!) come back from his amazing experience fundamentally changed, and so scared of losing that change; and his best friend trying but incapable of understanding, yet still there for him with whatever he needs. That exchange on the beach was just phenomenal.
There are just these moment of sheer intense quality on an otherwise good MOTW show, and they are so worth waiting for.
That's a good summary of why I watch Numb3rs, SA. The stories can be formulaic, but the characters are wonderful.
I loved the hitman. Such a marvelous performance. Subtle and powerful. *sigh*. I didn't think that Larry was scared of losing the change, more scared that now that he had accomplished his main goal, what did he have to strive for?
Yeah, Larry struck me as being in a "What do you after you live your dream?" place. He doesn't exactly seem changed to me, but more open to change. And going to a monastery seems more sane than living in the university basement or access tunnels or whatever it was, which makes me think he's more in touch with what he needs.
Wood Harris, y'all. Awesome.
