So Friday night I had the whole place to myself which was awesome! The house is so peaceful when its empty. It was the prime environment for TV viewing. I managed to finish off Damages season 2. I was surprised by the ending, but also can understand how season 2 didn't have quite the same sparkle that season 1 had. The whole environmental case/issues were not quite as flashy or interesting as murder and attempted murder. But I did like season 2. Once I started watching, I was very keen to watch more. Its very addictive. They really know how to end an ep on a cliffhanger, or giving you a tiny piece of the puzzle. The problem is that it doesn't have great re-watchability. But that's okay. I don't plan on re-watching it much. I am interested to see what the commentaries are like that are included on the season 2 DVD. Pity how the cast commentaries I am dying for, don't exist, but shows that I don't really care about manage to get them. -Not fair!
Anyways, now I guess I'll have to find time to start season 3 at some point. I'll wait a while though, too many other things in the lineup.
Once I was finished Damages, I was able to start season 12 of ER, which I bought after Christmas, and have been holding onto. Season 12 is the last season I watched on regular tv. Mid season 12 channel 9 stopped showing the eps, and I downloaded the rest, from then on. Its a little weird getting my head back into that period, having watched really old eps in my Christmas eps of tv viewing. -I miss Carter!
But man was it a tough day for kids with all the eps I watched today - little kidnapped girl getting rescued only to die of a gunshot wound, kids with aids, and little girls getting shot on christmas eve. SAD!
I was SO excited to get up to the ep with the baby chimp though. Its quite entertaining.
And I'm getting up to John Stamos' eps which is gonna mess with my head this week cause he's in Glee. Oh well. I've got season 13 to watch after that, and then more stuff from Amazon will arrive. -So I am never without tv to watch.
In current TV news, Off The Map is still staying good. Maybe its because the stories/characters etc are actually getting better, but maybe I'm liking it better, because now I am getting to know the characters and letting them grow on me. But I'm really mad because I heard Rachelle Lefevre got a new pilot for next season, meaning she probably won't be sticking around. Which sucks cause I was actually liking her character Ryan the most! They've also set it up so she probably won't be able to come back. Damm.
Oh well. I'll live. The other characters are becoming less annoying.
I liked Harry's Law better last week, this week started off good, but by 20/30 minutes in I was pretty bored. Its a pity, its got potential, but doesn't really do a lot. Plus they seem to be going back and forth between trying to be quirky and trying to be a serious law show with a bit of humor. They need to find a better middle ground.
Even less on tv this week than last. Which sucks, but at least some shows will be back next week. And Glee is back this week, so that's something. Nothing is sitting on a cliffhanger or anything which is good. I HATE that! I'll probably catch up on a few things I have sitting in my tv folder that I haven't been rushing into watching. That or I'll race through ER. I do love ER.
