if you only had one choice,

Ohlawd, it's Monday and I haven't written a word about any of my Thursday shows. I only just watched Fringe now though, and I like my tentative ~system~ of posting about Monday/Tuesday shows (Heroes excepted) in one go, and then about all the Thursday ones together as well. I just need to remember to update about other stuff once in a while, and be quicker with it. Good luck, self. LOL.

Anyway.

Right, that wraps up last week's episodes for me.

And now I shall indulge in some Heroes... waffling, heh.

No one's denying what we're witnessing now isn't the same show that premiered in 2006, and we all have an opinion on that. Me, I try to hold out some hope still that I can perhaps enjoy the show of 2009. I try. And I'm sad for the show and fandom I dove headfirst into, 3 years ago. There was a piece on fandomsecrets recently that more or less lamented the good old days of bustling fandom quality output and wank of the highest order. Not gonna lie, I miss it too! I most definitely understand the lapse, believe you me, but still. It was bizatchin' times! ;)

So today, I'd like to pimp out a couple of things that still manage to inspire infinite good will in me towards this Heroes - which is no small feat, lol.

• Cast picspams! There are many, but this one by lucky_star79 is my go-to place when I can't remember why falling for them was so damn easy. It's a shame many of those guys have been let go, but memories are forever and these are pretty sweet memories. ;)
• This incredible fanvid featuring the whole cast by venus_6_ka. OH MY GODS SOMEBODY WAS ABLE TO MAKE SOME SENSE OF S3 AS A WHOLE. Color me massively impressed. I swear NBC only wishes they had talent like that in their promo dept.
• The LOLS. heroes_macros hasn't seen a lot of activity recently, but I remember lol'ing irl well into the night on more than one occasion in its heyday. We can has revival tiems plz? heroes_meta brings the snark every Monday in a compilation from fans' reviews on the previous episode. ~Decrypt the show? Do it in style.
• The pretty. It's telling, how important this has become, but what can I say? (It used to be the stories held my attention, fyi.) heroesaday posts one screen cap, inviting us to observe and reminisce the beauty in camera angles, blocking, facial expressions, small gestures, or just really how gorgeous the cast always was. (See also, "picspams".)
• Live commenting posts. heroes_tv has one every week, but I find them a bit tern and I much prefer those hosted by Kelly, where we squeal and/or bitch FIRST, and think LATER. Fun times guaranteed, whatever the intrinsic quality of any given episode! And the post header pics are just adorable, too. Watch:

So you see, there's still some goodness to go around. I might edit this list to add more stuff as it becomes apparent, but if you're only going to check out one thing, make that the fanvid. I don't know the vidder from Adam, but srsly you guise. You guise. Srsly. It might even get you pumped for tonight's episode, for reals. :O

LEST I FORGET!

ME I'LL BE HERE FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF AND WAITING FOR A DOWNLOAD, LMAO

ALSOOOOOOOOOO, DRINKING GAME RULES! VERY IMPORTANT!

ANYWAY! I PROMISED TV THOUGHTS (FOR LAST WEEK) YESTERDAY! I'LL KEEP THEM SUPER SHORT BECAUSE OF THE CAPSLOCK CHUNKINESS... OR SOMETHING.

Post title nicked from this. Luuuulz! It is now my new favorite question ever, jsyk.

I feel like I need macro-speak detox or something. This is a post where I'll share some of my reactions to recent TV episodes. You know EXACTLY which common macro phrase, that I'm pretty sure I've used here before, I am doing my damnedest to fight off. -_- Anyway, these aren't deep or anything because I failed to take notes. Not that I ever do, but I think I have nearly two weeks' worth of episodes to recap, so just don't expect the usual tl;dr. ;)

( Heroes )

LOL, I lied. My Heroes ~review~ kind of does border on tl;dr.

( House )

( Lost )

( Bones )

I believe that is all? FOX needs to stop screwing around with their schedule, because I just sat here forever trying to figure out what shows aired on what night, and that's just nonsense. So stop it FOX, kthx.

ETA: I forgot Supernatural! *gasps*

( Supernatural )

ETA (bis): I also forgot about The Office! Jeez.

( The Office )

Right, so that took much longer than I'd anticipated. A couple things happened as I unzipped the file for my SPN episode:

1. I realized I had yet to download and watch The Office, too.
   
2. My computer started acting up and slowing down to a crawl. (It's like its innards fomented a mutiny against me!)
   
3. As a result of #2, I got sucked into an impassioned game of Monopoly for an hour or so. On my iPod, don't go thinking I'm being all social all of a sudden.

After all which, I decided dinner sounded good, and also remembered that doing a load of laundry was becoming urgent. Lol, my life. Anyway. Now that all of that is out of the way, TV thoughts!

I will- nay, I must end this post on a Dwight Schrute quote: «Do you watch Battlestar Galactica?³ No? Then you are an idiot.» (Truer words were never spoken.)

---

¹: Not a word. (I checked.)
²: I always forget this airs on Mondays as well. Oh, Fox! You and your musical chairs programming.
³: Haha, I just asked this to Rainn Wilson via Twitter. (Shame. I don't have any.)

And this would be where I try to string along more than two more-or-less coherent sentences, because Thursday night TV was awesomesauce! \o/

( Supernatural )

I don't know if I'm going to bother with Grey's Anatomy at all. For those of you who've seen it, was it any good?

Mwahaha! I caught up on a whole Summer's worth of Creed Thoughts (www.creedthoughts.gov.www\creedthoughts) this morning and just about busted a gut.

Now, anybody who can write me a Creed Bratton/Phoebe Buffay piece of fanfic will be my hero forever. XD

Favorite characters meme results under the cut!
