New Header
Jan. 6th, 2011 07:21 pmIn anticipation of the new season of Being Human starting, I've made myself a header using the new BBC promo picture.
( Slight spoiler for S3 )
I can't wait! :D

My thoughts on various TV shows...
( True Blood S3 )
But at least I'll have The Vampire Diaries to help ease my pain!
( The Vampire Diaries 2x01-2x03 )
( Supernatural 6x01 )
( Being Erica 3x01 )
( The Young Ones (BBC1) )
( Mad Men Eps 1-3 (latest season) )
( 71 Degrees North (ITV) )
( Words of the Blitz (ITV) )
Still to watch: Fringe, House, Dexter, Grey's Anatomy and several UK shows (Downton Abbey and DCI Banks to name but two).
I obviously watch way too much TV, but that's what can happen when your other half works nights! ;)
ETA: Sorry about the coding screw-up! It should be fixed now...

True Blood S3 Ep 9
Aug. 17th, 2010 01:02 amWhat a wonderful episode! There were so many things I loved about it that I couldn't possibly write them all down - but I'll try to write down as many as I can.

That was one excellent episode. I love this show far more than is good for me! :)

Home - and True Blood S3 Ep 8
Aug. 15th, 2010 05:16 pmHad a lovely week away in Skegness with family, but it's so nice to be back home. :)
Finally got to see the latest episode of True Blood. My reactions under the cut.

True Blood S3 Ep 7
Aug. 2nd, 2010 04:25 pmYet another good episode. This season is moving along nicely! So much better than the Maryann storyline that dragged on for so long last season.
Things I Liked:
* There's an awful lot of blood in this show, isn't there?!
( Read more... )
As usual, the good points far outweigh the bad for me.
( So glad they didn't go there (book spoilers for 3x07 only - no future plot points mentioned)... )
Looking forward to seeing where the show decides to take us from here! :)

True Blood S3 Ep 6
Jul. 26th, 2010 01:38 pmWow, that was one blood thirsty episode, wasn't it?
Things I Liked:
* Loved the action packed beginning.
( Read more... )
But other than that, I loved the rest of the episode. Can't wait for next week!

True Blood S3 Ep 5
Jul. 21st, 2010 06:23 pmI haven't been feeling very well today, so I'm later posting this than I intended to be. Finally saw the episode late last night.
Things I liked:
* How about everything? Because that's pretty much how I feel about this episode.
( Read more... )
As usual, the things I didn't like are few and far between, and are just little quibbles more than anything. I can't help but love this show to pieces, and I gleefully look forward to every episode. :)

True Blood S3 Ep 4
Jul. 16th, 2010 02:22 amI've seen a few less than positive reviews of this episode around LJ, but I have to say I enjoyed it immensely. There were some things I didn't like, but those moments were few and far between. For me S3 is shaping up to be the best season of the show so far.
( Read more... )
And to be honest, I'm enjoying this show to pieces, so I don't really care if other people can't understand why I like it as much as I do. After all, we're in the third season now, so I think we should all know pretty much what to expect by now. :)
As always, this is just my opinion. YMMV.

True Blood
Jun. 30th, 2010 04:06 pmI watched episode 3 of True Blood S3 a couple of days ago.
This episode wasn't as strong as the first two, but still had plenty to enjoy.
( Read more... )
There's probably more I've forgotten, but those are the main things I can think of right now.
I really do love this show. :)

True Blood 3x01 - Reaction post
Jun. 14th, 2010 09:50 amFirst reactions as I watch...
( Don't expect anything deep and meaningful. Pure reaction... )
That was one action packed episode.
I love this show!

TV show meme - Days 29 and 30
Jun. 8th, 2010 04:28 pm( The first 28 days )
Well, I've finally come to the end of this meme. At least it won't be clogging up your friends pages any more! ;)
Day 29 - Current TV show obsession
I don't think anyone will be surprised to hear that the two shows I'm currently obsessed with are True Blood and The Vampire Diaries. I don't think I'll ever love them quite as much as I love the Buffyverse, but it's good to have something new to obsess over!
Day 30 - Saddest character death
There are two that come to mind straight away: Dr Mark Greene on ER and Charlie Pace on Lost.

TV show meme - Day 28
Jun. 6th, 2010 01:02 am( The first 27 days )
Day 28 - First TV show obsession
There have been a few shows I've been obsessive about over the years, where I couldn't miss a single episode, and would drop everything to make sure that I didn't. But the two that come to mind first are ER and The X-Files. I watched them both from the first episode and completely fell in love with them.
( Read more... )
But if we're talking about obsession that includes being involved in a fandom, discussing every aspect of the show to death, reading fanfic, and still talking about the show long after it's been off air, then there's only one TV show it could be, and that's Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I don't think there will ever be another TV show like it for me. The Buffyverse was what first drew me into online fandom, and without it I would never have met all of you. It literally changed my life, and for that I will always be truly grateful.

Top Ten Female Characters
Jun. 5th, 2010 02:44 pmAnother list!
My top ten favourite female characters (TV shows):
1. Buffy Summers (BtVS)
2. Aeryn Sun (Farscape)
3. Dana Scully (The X-Files)
4. Veronica Mars (Veronica Mars)
5. Erica Strange (Being Erica)
6. Jessica Hamby (True Blood)
7. River Song (Doctor Who)
8. Kima Greggs (The Wire)
9. Alicia Florick (The Good Wife)
10. Elena Gilbert (The Vampire Diaries)
As before this is by no means a definitive list, and is likely to change at any time. If you're wondering why Sookie Stackhouse isn't on the list, it isn't that I don't like her (I do), it's just that she isn't quite as interesting (to me) as the other women on my list.
