Well I seem to judge Glee over different things than many people (actually Glee fandom is basically divided into a few groups: Rachel fans, Kurt fans, and uh, the rest. Personally I love both Kurt and Rachel, but I'm in it for Kurt). I loved both The Power of Madonna and Theatricality (the so-called Gaga episode, which really wasn't so much a Gaga episode but featured 2 Gaga songs so it's been called such by fans). In fact they're both two of my favourite episodes and are the beginning of Kurt becoming a more main character, mostly because they're after the show went on break and the writers realized what a huge fandom he had. |D (Also because Chris is an excellent actor, imo above all the other actors, though they're all excellent. Like scarily so.) Contrast this to the Britney Spears episode which I really didn't care for. The best part were the moments where Kurt was pushing to, you know, sing Britney, and then he wore a skirt, which was awesome. But yeah not a great episode. (I love Kurt. ; ; )
I watched Glee like that (over msn) with Vixie |D Mostly it was an opportunity for me to rewatch it, because I can never watch the show enough, and to spread the Glee to more peoples (Vixie then had Alraune watch it). But my method of watching tv is weird; I either become 100% absorbed in a show so I can see everything and miss nothing, like I do with Glee and Dexter (and Sherlock and DW), or I have it minimized while doing other things like browsing the internet, drawing, chatting, playing gameboy, all at the same time. Because most tv shows really aren't that good, haha. I could count on one hand, I think, the number of shows I pay full attention to. But to those shows I pay my full attention and anything that bothers me while I'm watching it is likely to be brutally murdered. >>;
Buffy is definitely one of the best shows I've ever seen. I think it's just the name that gives it a bad 'rep' so to speak, it's a terrific show. I just never used to watch shows more than once, except for when they were on tv, because I'd have that on in the background (I don't actually watch things on tv in order to watch them, just for background noise... I've gotten rid of my tv now though).
And oh god you want tv suggestions? Be prepared. You will regret it. xD Okay - Black Books is great, yes, and I suggest you try downloading Fortysomething or watch on youtube, I think I found it there for gew a while ago. Hrm. Anyhow! I suggest, because you like racial diversity, you try Community. It's hilarious. In Treatment is one of my favourites (the sort I pay full attention to) and it's based on an Israeli show so it gets bonus points. It's sort of amazing. And of course, Mad Men is just incredible in every way, though it takes real energy to watch it. It's a thought-show, you need to pay attention and... well... it's just damned good.
I love seeing things without knowing spoilers. Actually I just hate spoilers in general. Dx When I saw Wicked I'd already read the book a long time before, though the show is at least very different. And, you know, sort of beautiful with the set designs and the music and such. Plus I was practically sitting on the stage I was so close. |D
Phantom was mostly great for its sets, but I wasn't crazy about the rest of it. Tbh if you're going to see something, I'd see something else. Hm N2N just started touring so it might reach there soon. :D
Have you seen Gypsy? I just love sad musicals, and Sondheim, of course. So good. I grew up on The Wizard of Oz, and Grease, so even though some people seem to think Grease isn't so great, it's just pure sentimentality for me. Ah. They happen to be like the only musicals I saw growing up; not even Fiddler, and I'm jewish! LOL.
I can never get used to old styles. I saw uh - Die Hard, the first one, a while ago. And I couldn't enjoy it at all, because of the style. I know it was, for its time, a great movie. First action movie with a plot and all. But uhg. I can't handle it. So bad. Dx SOO bad. *dies*
You know, I thought Jekyll had a pretty good budget, considering the rest of the show. It's not that uncommon for digital effects to be like that, especially with animals involved. I mean that scene was terrible but... well, you'd have to have a shitload of money for it to not be. :\
I don't really get so dependent on a show after only 3 episodes - but DW sort of marks my weekends because it's the only show I watch on weekends. Well that and it's DW. Glee doesn't mark my tuesdays though, despite being, well, Glee, because there are tons of shows then and yeah. Although this week does feel like a mess because there was no Glee and now it's thursday already and where's my Glee?! Ahhg. Don't they know I need TV to know what day it is?!
