I like LA and stuff, but I really miss extemporaneous TV show reactions. I'm glad I get much cable on eastern time, so at least I can White Collar and Leverage squee with company. But boys!
I'm bracing myself for tonight, because I don't expect enough emotional payoff for the end scene of MBV, but I do expect lots of Bobby pain, which will be a delight.
I don't watch and post, but I do sometimes watch and text Jilli. But as she's not able to watch tonight, alas, that won't be happening.
And I'm miffed about it. But too much stuff to do before leaving for Portland tomorrow.
I used to be able to W&P, but with new eps I'm usually too mesmerized to say anything.
I have been told that watching SPN with me is entertainingly frustrating, because I am unable to Just Let It Go when they get occult-y or folklore details wrong, and will sputter about it endlessly. (And in some cases, pull out my phone and start Googling for images of actual Enochian script.)
W&P for SPN is really squee and OMGWTF reactions. Maybe wiping eyes enough to let the others know your allergies kicked in. Occasionally outbursts of protest. It's more a being thing than any profound thoughts (on my part) happening. The vivisection can be done off of the recorded watch because recording is probably a given. The first time through is just recording our collective reactions for posterity. At least that is how I have been doing it and enjoying watching others.
I would watch any episode in a F2F situation the same way. Analyzing the episode would have to be later all by myself studying every facial expression. Because I do. That sounded less creepy in my head.
Ailleann and I mostly just throw quotes at each other, interspersed with lots of OMG and FLAIL and BOYS. It's all very eloquent, really.
I do squeal out loud from time to time, and Ben and S. just move a little farther away.
I tend to rewind a little bit and rewatch as I go, or sometimes walk away from the ep so I can build up a more uninterrupted block to watch. But I'm more than happy to go back to linear watching in order to do a little sharing.
Like Theresa, rewatch is a different beast. That's where I wonder why Anna didn't just kill, instead of tossing her around. First time around it's all "Ooh! Mary! Badass!" But even the first time around I had to rewind to watch Sammy's tearful face at the door again.
I want a group watch vera vera much! The only thing that I am wondering about would be should it be the finale of Six? Because I was a depressed pile of poo for while after the Angel finale. I am wondering if there wouldn't be more excitement and positive energy for a sixth season premiere party? Just an idea.
Ben and S. just move a little farther away.
This made me smile in understanding. My sister!

I do this too in moments of WTF did they just say or do.
Heh. Lorelei just mentioned the Winchester Mystery House on
Gilmore Girls.

Ack! Wrong Gunn
