The Agony and The Ecstasy: TV Edition

[scarlettina]

Agony: The new season of Big Love starts tonight, but I no longer have HBO. ::sigh::

Ecstasy: The new season of Chuck starts tonight, and I do have NBC!

Agony: I still haven't seen Doctor Who: End of Time, part II. I want to see it, even if it does feature typical Russell T. Davies silliness.

Ecstasy: Rumor has it I may see it tomorrow night!

Agony: (Also, question:) Whatever shall I do without my David Tennant? (Answer: Learn to live without him, just as you did Christopher Eccleston. Again-- ::sigh::)

Ecstasy: I introduced jackwilliambell to Rome this weekend--another excuse to watch the series again.

PS--This edition of The Agony and the Ecstasy brought to you by Distraction: The Platinum Edition. Distraction, the ultimate method for moving on to new things or avoiding old ones. Distraction, coming to a brain near you. Maybe...a brain inside you.

One of these days I need to see Rome.

(BTW I love your icon.)

[skidspoppe.livejournal.com]

So seconding the icon thing - love it!!!!

[scarlettina.livejournal.com]

Perhaps we need to set up a date? February will be easier than this month--I've got a lot going on in the next couple of weeks.

Glad you like the icon. :-) I needed a general TV con, and gave myself this icon as a Photoshop practice project.

February would be good. Let me knwo what works for you.

I've been rewatching Rome since I got the Blu-Ray edition. Historical porn...

[scarlettina.livejournal.com]

It really is. My biggest frustration with it is how much of the Egyptian stuff is just pure fantasy. But I love watching the first 18 or so episodes. Wonderful, wonderful stuff.

i can help you help yourself.

It may well be time. I'm doing a little experimentation but...we should talk.

Got over Eccleston. Tom Baker, on the other hand...

Have you seen this, from David Tennant to his younger self (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v507/JenMalli/?action=view&current=SpecialsForwardsized.jpg)? (via (http://neadods.livejournal.com/923737.html)) (edited to get that last paren in place.)

Brain and brain? What is "brain"? (I make a rotten zombie :-)

[scarlettina.livejournal.com]

Heh. That's wonderful.

Do you mean End of Time? I watched it on youtube -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMFmSwMkliA (no BBC America out here in the sticks).

Fixed in the post--and thanks for the link! I'm going to wait to see it tonight with jackwiliambell, though. He's been saving it on TiVo just for me.

do you have comcast if so i called and bugged them and got hbo for 5 bucks a month now i know finaces are tight but if you weight it in the long run you are spending less over 3 months to watch it than renting it..

[scarlettina.livejournal.com]

I'll think about it; you make a good point. Still, I've cut my budget significantly. I'm nearly at income/out-go parity so I'm trying to be careful. It's not like I need HBO. It's the whine of a (comparatively) rich girl. I'll figure it out. :-)

[sara-ramirez-1.livejournal.com]

I totally get that.. Tina gave me the look like do we REALLY need it.. If it wasnt only 5 dollars I prolly would have passed but last nights episode was pretty darn good!!!

I think she was happy we got it last night though..

Agony: I still haven't seen Doctor Who: Children of Earth, part II. I want to see it, even if it does feature typical Russell T. Davies silliness.

That's "The End of Time" -- "Children of Earth" was the third miniseason of Torchwood -- and it actually features slightly atypical RTD silliness....

[scarlettina.livejournal.com]

You're correct. Fixed in the post.

You being the second person to correct me, I must point you to XKCD (http://xkcd.com/386/). ::wink::

[kradical.livejournal.com]

That remains my favorite xkcd ever....

[scarlettina.livejournal.com]

::chuckle:: I love that one, too.

There's always TV Shack (http://tvshack.net/tv/Big_Love/) for your Big Love

Thank you!!!!
