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.

you know we have some common fandoms, like SGA and SG1. About Lost, I was the same, the start of season 3 lost me too, and many others, it seems.

I want to watch Firefly in the future, I saw Serenity and I am hooked.

Recently I discovered two others TV Series: Battlestar Galactica and Farscape. Oh boy, Ben Browder as John Crichton really got to me, *thud*. I thought he was pretty in SG1 as Cameron Mitchell, but he didn't got to me or such. As John Crichton he plays a Scientist, Astronaut, Outcast, plays compassion, has dark sides, plays mad, hurt, in love,... and has a tendency to self-sacrifice. He is a combination of all my favourite characters in SGA and SG1 and more! Of course Claudia Black as Aeryn Sun is pretty cool, too, and any other characters.

Supernatueral, I saw one episode, but I am not into supernatural stuff, Sci Fi it's for me. Sure the boys are cute, but... shrugs.

I want to try Farscape at some point. It's all the weird looking aliens that are putting me off a bit, but Ben Browder, and especially Claudia Black make me want to try anyway; I adore Claudia Black!!

Concerning Supernatural; yeah, the boys are cute, but they're first and foremost boys, and I prefer my guys older these days.

I know what you mean about those weird looking aliens! I had the same feelings. I thought I was xenophobe or something. When I saw the first half of Season 1 I wasn't impressed, but the second half, especially the finale starting with "Nerve", really sucked me in into the crazy Farscape world.

Now I don't mind those crazy aliens anymore, and the regular animatronics like the Pilot, and Rygel, became real characters to me, lol. I got used to the crazy look of the red tentacle guy Ka D'Argo, as well.

Have you seen Claudia in Pitch Black? :D

I have! I've got the dvd. samena had been raving about it, and gayadi lend me her dvd and then I bought it myself. It's one I like to watch again every once in a while. It was only while watching it a few months back after quite some time that I sat up because I recognized Claudia in it. She's great :D

I've started rereading my old stack of SFX magazines this weekend, because there's so much in there about series I wasn't following yet when I bought the mags, and I noticed to my delight that Claudia did damn well on the 'most sexy' lists, because she's real sexy in my eyes, but not in a conventional way.

Oh yes, she certainly is! I love Pitch Black, all the characters are intrigueing in their own way.
