TV

I've had a flu-like virus for the last few days. It's really knocked me for six. I seem to be getting worse every day, instead of better. As a result I've had some time on my hands, so I've been catching up on some TV watching.

Thanks to my good friend siklilgrl, I've now seen the first eleven episodes of Veronica Mars. I'll be watching the second half of the season over the next few days. I have to say...I love this show! I'm not going to compare it to BtVS, as I think it's a very different show, but I will say this - I doubt that I will ever love another show as much as I love BtVS and AtS, and I can't ever see me loving another character as much as I love Spike. They will always hold a special place in my heart, and I'm not planning on letting go of this fandom any time soon...but it's so nice to have a new show (or shows) to feel passionate about. :)

I was hooked on this show from the opening scene. The characters are very believable and they draw you in straight away. I love Veronica. She's sassy and bright, but with an underlying sadness about her. I love the flashbacks. Not only because they give us more information about the Lily Kane murder, but also because they give us an insight into all of the characters. I felt like I knew these people from the word go.

My second favourite character so far (after Veronica) is Weevil. I'm not sure what it is about him, but I warmed to him almost straight away. Even though he is such a bad ass (maybe that's the reason I like him so much *g*), he is very likeable. There is a certain vulnerability about him.

Now we get to Logan. I've tried to avoid spoilers as much as possible, but from all the icons I've seen on my flist, I know that Logan is a popular character. I have to admit that I didn't warm to him at first. I found him intriguing, but I wasn't sure that I liked him. That was at first. But the more I see him, the more fascinated I am by him. There is so much more to him than meets the eye. And I hate his father. He makes my skin crawl. *shudder*

Wallace is lovely. He makes me want to hug him. Not in a sexy way, you understand. He brings out the mother in me. I can't say that about Logan or Weevil. ;)

I adore Keith Mars. The relationship between him and Veronica is one of the things I love about this show. A father/daughter relationship can be such a wonderful thing...even if he turns out not to be Veronica's biological father. The possibility of Keith not being Veronica's real father crossed my mind very early on.

Duncan Kane. I still can't quite make my mind up about him. On the surface he seems like such a nice guy. But is he?

There are so many questions that need to be answered. The biggest one, of course, is "Who killed Lily Kane?" Hmm... I have some ideas going around in my head, but nothing concrete as of yet. Eleven more episodes to go...

I hope at least some of them are answered by the end of the season. :)

I finally got around to watching the last few episodes of Nip/Tuck, Season 2. Woah! What a shocking end to the season! Poor Christian! This second season of Nip/Tuck has been even better than the first. I can't wait until Season 3!

I've been watching House on the Hallmark channel for a while now. This is another show that I really love. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to accept Hugh Laurie in this kind of role. I couldn't imagine finding him sexy at all...not Hugh Laurie, the bumbling idiot I've been watching on my TV screen all these years! ;) But to my surprise, he is. He was made to play this role. Hugh Laurie is Dr House. I can't imagine anyone else playing him. Excellent show.

What can I say about Doctor Who? I adore this show. This is a show I feel very passionate about. I love Captain Jack...possibly because I've always liked John Barrowman, who plays him. CE is wonderful as the Doctor. I so wish he was staying for longer! But I think David Tennant will make a great Doctor, too. Not long until the end of the season. I'm going to miss my Saturday night fix. :(

These are two shows I'm going to be watching for the first time on DVD. I've watched the first few episodes of BSG so far and I love it. It hasn't hooked me in quite the same way that Veronica Mars has, but I am enjoying it. I'll definitely be watching Season 2.

For some reason I keep putting off watching Farscape. I think the reason for that is because I know I'm going to love it. And if I love it, I'll want to watch all four seasons, plus the mini series, as fast as I can. If I get hooked on a show, I can't stop watching it. So I'm holding off on Farscape for a while. At least with Veronica Mars, I only have one season to watch. :)

See, this is what happens when I'm ill and have too much time on my hands. :D

Thank you. I'm feeling much better. Now all I need to do is go through my flist. It should take me a week! ;)
