Miscellany Post 2.01 [10... Defensive Driving Sucks... Is Shit on Fire??!... New Fave British Show]
10 ( Some nonsense about Gabe hatin' on the number 10... )
Defensive Driving Sucks! ( Some nonsense about... wait. THIS isn't nonsense! Defensive Driving DOES suck!!! )
I did manage to get other stuff done, tho'. ( The List! )
Is Somewhere Burning? ( While not nonsense, some stuff that Gabe should know, would but he be a good LJ-Friend... )
New Fave Brit Show.
No Heroics. A lot of the same people that were on my other fave Brit Show, Absolute Power, which I wish would come back with a third season series. Of course, it has this man in it [points right]--Nicholas Burns. And as you can see, he fits three of my ultimate qualities in British obsessions: [1] Funny, altho in that "may-be-a-complete-dick" way; [2] er... British accent, obviously; and [3] big head. I've only seen the first three episodes, but I loved them all! I hope it comes back for a second run!
In US TV news, I'm still not sure about the second half of BSG's fourth--and hopefully last--season. I thought the ending before going on hiatus for 4.5 was PERFECT! But I don't mind sad endings, especially if they are fitting, ironic, or served with a healthy dose of "that's what you fuckers get." And the series-ending-that-wasn't-a-series-endin
Speaking of BSG, I'm actually surprised that my f'list seems rather... BSG-fan-less. I have plenty who are SG-1/SG-A fans. I wonder if it's because the Stargate shows are, above all else, sci-fi and fantasy in the semi-traditional sense, whereas Battlestar Galactica is a war series in space. Hell, they still use bullets and missiles, not lasers and photon torpedoes.
Plus, it's a depressing notion: polytheists lost in space trying to run from regenerating holier-than-thou metallic monotheists, hell-bent on their own Crusades.
I mean, season 4.5 had probably the most realistic suicide depiction on television ever. You have a president off her cancer treatment and dying. Is it... too gritty, too real for weekly absorption? I admit to needing to take breaks between weekly episodes, myself.
Well, that's all I have at the moment.
Thanks to everyone who read my original short fiction piece. Got some HP fanfic coming up soon! Surprise.
