Between Anne Rice and all that Twilight madness, I do pride myself on how long I've been holding out on the vampire crushes, but that main guy from True Blood - to tell no lies - is mighty fine.

On the To-Watch-List it goes.

P.S.: These days the internet is mostly for talking to the sister, so if anyone needs something, or wants me to PM/comment/email about lj stuff, it'll probably be another week.

( NCIS as it happens. )

BTW, I also watched some Chuck (plus Reaper and Dollhouse with Alan Tudyk) on the weekend and while reports that it is the best show on TV are greatly GREATLY exaggerated, I liked Casey in ways I also like Charlie Harper's no nonsense housekeeper, so it may well become my new hangover show, when I run out of Two and a half Men episodes. If I am bored later, I'll write about it and how it holds up in the Scarecrow and Mrs. King comparison later.

Ooooops. You probably thought I died or defected to Dreamwidth or somesuchthing. Surprise, I did not. Just got a little caught up in the bi-annual Dune reread. And then the Golden Girls marathon.

+ So without further ado: ( 24. )

+ Oh, and I am really not feeling that thing ( Matthew Fox has going on with his facial hair. )

+ VOTE LIFE! (scroll down to the Save One Show poll)

+ Start of the NCIS Tony/Ziva-fest tonight!!! No words for the excitement. *wibbles*

* That's surprisingly everything.

8 additional HiRes promo pics for LIFE 2x21 One, which I kind of loved, although I still want more.

( spoil me. )

14 HiRes promo pics for LIFE 2x20 Initiative 38 & 2x21 One

Or the other way around. One pictures are first. Looks like a promising finale.

( spoil me. )

Ooooooh, an event with Tahmoh Penikett AND Michael Weatherly. As if I could resist picspamming that. I repeat: Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!

TV Guide's Sexiest Stars 2009 - 03/24/2009 (TONY & HELO!!!!!! also in minor roles: Katee Sackhoff, Sarah Shahi, Annie Wershing and that dude from Criminal Minds)



( I have a working knowledge of the entire universe and everything it contains. )

+ Yeah, blahblahblah, McGee! You are the only pretentious ass boy scout ever who cannot identify Poison Ivy. Shut up! Ok, I know Gibbs's CV is riddled with plot holes you can drive trucks through, but that really irked me.

+ 4 HiRes promo pics for Battlestar Galactica 4x22/23 Daybreak

( Not so much spoilers any more. )

These may be the very last BSG promo pics ever. *sniff* OK, there's still the movie, but you know what I mean.

SYFY (yes, yes, I know!!!) Channel Upfronts - March 16th, 2009 (people from BSG, Sanctuary & Caprica + Robert Carlyle)



( It's not exactly a plan, but I think I'm going to pass out. )

I might actually watch Caprica, because Esai Morales won me over for good in Jericho. Still not feeling SGU.

Comments on the other post will be answered. After I slept.

+ Oh, SciFi Channel, never stop being ridiculous!

+ 3 additional HiRes promo pics for BSG 4x21/22/23 Daybreak

I know, I am being a meaniehead, but I am really not happy with this development. New characters are needed to keep ER and Law & Order fresh after a hundred seasons, but when you know you have four episodes and after that it's almost definitely bye, bye, birdie, tell the fraking stories of the already existing characters, damn it. =(

( SPOILERS! )

Edit: There are now also 24 spoilers in the comments! Yeah, don't bother figuring out how that happened, just be glad I warn you about these things.

The spoilers seem mild with these ones, but I am sure you can find something to interpret and overanalyze, so proceed with caution nonetheless! Just saying, nobody's pictured mid-dying or something in case you were worried about spoilers of that magnitude.

( SPOILERS! )

So there you have it! The big Tiva news. As Ausiello spoilers go that's actually, well, something for a change. CANNOT WAIT!

( NCIS spoilers )

+ OMG! Ausiello just wrote his a hundred minor spoilers for a hundred not very interesting shows column of the week and gave me this seriously vague throwaway line:

BTW, major Tiva scoop coming later today. Clear your mid-day schedule.

EDGE OF THE SEAT PEOPLE! Live-blogging of my obsessive page refreshing starts here. Watch it be something lame as always.

+ I watched Pushing Daisies yesterday only because it was a world premiere on German TV and how often does one see that? Surprisingly I like the dubbed version ten times better than the original. Here, I uploaded the trailer for next weeks episode, because GINA TORRES!!!

( or embedded behind this magic cut )

+ Im miss Standoff and I might watch again next week just for Gina Torres.

Two really really REALLY random things that annoy me about fandom lately.

1. The 'you have to give it 5/10/eight billion episodes/seasons' meme. No, I do not. I can decide that a show sucks and that I am never going to watch it from seeing half a promo clip on youtube while on the phone with Air France and there is nothing you can do about it. Except whine apparently.

2. The 'canon is for creating characters and fandom is for hooking them up' meme also known as the 'OMG, McKeller, Tony/Ziva, Reese/Tidwell, House/Cuddy is what happens when good people do nothing' theorem. Get the eff over yourselves! If I (the most opinionated person ever) can forward through the Boreteen scenes on House then certainly you can suck it up too. Romance is a huge part of most fiction and you can insist that everyone watches CSI Miami only for the DNA analyzing until you are blue in the face, it won't change the fact that Eric wants into Calleigh's pants and everybody knows it.

As unrelated as it gets: BSG 4x20 Islanded in a Stream of Stars HiRes promo pics. I'll try getting pics posted sooner next week. Updating the 24 promo pics next.
