So Tivo told me last night that Nightshifter is running in the 8:00 slot tomorrow. Watch and post, anyone?

Yay for more W&P! A full night of SPN. Tomorrow is our last of the "new" episodes though, right?

::waves hello to JenP::

Opinions?

::waits for the post count to start spinning::

Until they restart production. They are planning to film four more eps for S3, have some sort of resolution, and then either have a definite S3 resolution in S4, with a forewarned foreshortened S4, or somehow combine S3 and S4 season arcs and resolve them both by 4.22.

Um. So I hear. But in any case, we should have four more new S3 eps in late April to mid-May.

Next new episode after tomorrow is April 24th.

sumi, the definiteness of your post just made my little heart go pittypat. I was so afraid we wouldn't have *any* more eps this season. I'll take four and gladly.

The CW announced the schedule sometime in the past week.

Yeah, I wish there were a way to compare mainlining v. watching week-to-week (that is, watching something week-to-week, then erasing the memory and mainlining it to see what/if reactions were different. But I don't think that's a valid use of mindwipe technology. Yet.)

I can say that mainlining 24 made it all much more coherent for me. I tried watching in one season week-to-week, and I couldn't hack it. It's so in the moment, that I needed to be able to follow it that way. Of course, that's unique to that show.

I know I'm glad I mainlined Farscape on DVD because of some of the crazy-long breaks and then the skittles at the end of S4... I caught up just in time for Peacekeeper Wars, which was convenient.

SPN I'm pretty sure I've mostly watched on DVD (S1; S3 via iTunes), though I think during S2 there was a long period when I was following along week-to-week - maybe the whole season. I think I think more and longer about an ep when I only see one per week, certainly. I guess depending on the ep, that can be good or bad. I also hold eps more strongly as individual entities when I watch week-to-week. Mainlining makes it all run together.

::waves to Austin::

ETA: Well, and there's also the added fun on W-n-P and post-ep analysis, which works best in real time. Though, people were very good about talking Farscape with me when I was doing that. But I do enjoy a good W-n-P.

Heh, I'm actually here a lot, but in full-on lurk mode. Except when I have really important things to contribute, like helping darlini solve her semantical crisis.

I do appreciate you de-lurking on my account. I think we have decided on "my person" however. This phrase being a reference to Grey's Anatomy and Meredith and Christina's exchange in the first season and something that won't make Brian's social anxiety come to the surface in public places.=)

I mainlined season one of Torchwood and I don't know if I had watched it week to week that I would have stuck with it. By mainlining it, I grew to love it before any of the troublesome aspects could derail me. Now I just love it.

I mainlined Spooks, Monarch of the Glen, and Ballykissangel the same way. I think I would have loved them even week to week. I'm really glad that I didn't have to wait though.

Supernatural, on the other hand, had me at hello. Actually I sat down to watch it thinking really bad things about the WB's parentage and Angel cancellation, and fell in love despite myself.

I don't watch horroro (okay, I'm leaving it. I know how to spell it, I just don't know when to stop) stuff. Even the old Vincent Price, Boris Karloff stuff can upset me. I can take fake gore and all that, it just doesn't interest me. But scary stuff? Like The Fog, and (the original) The Haunting of Hill House? Hitchcock? Brrrr.

So I started watching the pilot, and the first guy drove through the White Lady, and I just changed the channel. I gave it another shot for Dead in the Water (Not Dean in the Water, although yeah, it really was) because Amy Acker was guesting, and was intrigued by the relationship between the brothers. There seemed to be some recent estrangement there I wanted to know more about. And I liked the short one's rapport with the kid, and then I wanted to know what he saw when he was little, and what happened to his mom and why he needed to be brave everyday...

It was the human element that got me through the scary stuff. I still don't watch scary movies, but SPN isn't about that for me, that's just the window dressing. SPN's about the people--specifically the brothers and their relationship, and the way they relate to people who move in and out of their lives.

Short version? It's all Amy Acker's fault. I could be watching the 84th season of CSI.

Dude. DUDE. FINALLY saw the ep. Trickster for the motherlovin' WIN!! Whee!!

(Also? That actor is local to my nabe, and was in a film set here. Sweet!)

Ahem. snorgles Trickster, who would like me, because I have a big-ass tattoo of one of his facets. Yes.

What, you expected intelligent commentary? Pshaw.
