My personal series-watching update

[rodneyscat]

In alphabetical order:

Due South

Recently season 3 finally came out on dvd over here. I haven't even finished watching season 1 and 2, and even though they're quite enjoyable, I skipped right to season 3, because Callum Keith Rennie as Ray Kowalski; need I say more?! *lusts*

Firefly

My daughter is making me watch Firefly, because she kept on saying she thought I would really, really like it. So now we're watching it together. Why didn't anyone tell me just how awesome that series is?!?!? Oh right, a lot of people did, I just never listened...

Lost

They've started season 3 a couple of weeks ago over here; they've lost me. Pun intended because it's really not worth a better one.

Stargate Atlantis

I skipped the audio commentaries for season 2 that don't have David, Joe and/or Martin Gero in them, and went back to the audio commentaries for season 1 that do. My conclusion: Martin Gero is a god as far as I'm concerned, and I mean one of those nice ones, that actually do good with their divine abilities. My favorite moment is when during 'The Siege, part 2' he interrupts Martin Wood to say "I love that line; 'So long Rodney'" (In Martin Wood's defense; I like how he points out every moment Rodney McKay gets to sit down or lean on something for a second, because he has to keep on going and going like a Duracell Bunny the rest of the time.)

Stargate: SG-1

We (youngest son, daughter and I) are still going slowly, because we absolutely want to watch this series together, and the logistics of that are complicated, but we're not in a hurry either, so we're fine with that. We are now in season 6 and have recently watched 'The Abyss': omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgetc... In short: words fail. Seriously. So much love.

Supernatural

Erm... My daughter likes it, and when she's watching I try to watch with her, but I keep getting the urge to go fold laundry or something. We're now 3/4 into season 1 and I still don't see the attraction. Even Callum Keith Rennie was boring in it.

Torchwood

Finished the season. I'm glad people persuaded me to keep watching, even after episode 6 'Countrycide' freaked me out; it's well worth it. I loved seeing more of Tosh whom I love very much, Jack got more sympathetic but he's still not my type, Gwen is lovely even if I want to smack some sense and sensibility into her sometimes, Rhys has a nice bum and boy do I crush on him because he's such a sweetheart, Owen keeps being creepy and even his love is selfish, and oh Ianto... I'd love to see more of him, even though part of the attraction is that he so quietly goes about his business, doing what needs to be done.
No surprise of course I bawled my eyes out for Gwen and Rhys in the season finale; Eve Myles acted my heart to pieces there.

i am amazed by folk like you who can juggle all these fandoms; truly, i don't know how you manage it. go you.

vshendria has fallen deeply in love with Supernatural, and I watched some of the eps that she brought with her to a party we had last fall, but i couldn't get into it; i don't know why. I guess it's just not really my thing, despite the cars and the great music and the cuteness that is Dean. Or maybe I'm just a serially monogamous fandom whore, I dunno.

And finally, and most importantly, SG-1 ABYSS. Abyss, Abyss, Abyss. I think if you made me choose one ep that's my fav, it's that one. I don't know why, but it is. It just works on ever axis for me. ABYSS.

*squeezes you tight*

All these fandoms feel like friends and lovers, new and old ones, and a couple of aquaintances. Due South and SG-1 feel like old lovers, with whom everything just feels so warm and familiar every time I turn to them. SGA is my current lover; it feels a little more fresh and sparkly, but also already comfortable. I feel equally passionate about old and new lovers.

Lost is like an old lover that got boring. Supernatural is my kid's crush I look upon with obliging eyes, but is too young for my taste. Torchwood is like the goodlooking, flashy and popular new guy, that I look upon with suspicion, but has surprisingly gentle and interesting sides. Firefly is too new for me to really say anything about, but I've got my hopes up for a relationship that's both fun and meaningful.
