TV update / movies: Sleepless in Seattle
Last night I made F sit through Sleepless in Seattle. He'd never seen it, and, well, I'm nine months pregnant. He also made me a pitcher of virgin pina colada. He is a good man. There was a lot I didn't remember about the movie, but mostly it rewarded my expectations, and F agreed that it was a fun movie (which I'm interpreting to mean that he didn't think it entirely sucked). I think this means that, in the contest of "What do you mean you never saw that?!", I'm on tap for Rocky next.
In TV news, we watched the last season of The Wire. That show is completely amazing and I'm so sorry it's over. Now I have to get my kicks from things like this.
We also finished season 3 of Torchwood. Damn, the last season is completely worth sitting through the first two seasons: really solid, tight storytelling, and a plausible conclusion. Although my favorite moments in the whole show are the moments with Spike. It just entertains me so much that the accent he did for Buffy is solid enough that he can take it on a British TV show. Yay for Spike.
Finished season 2 of Sherlock, too. So much love for that show, but the last episode was a major WTF. Not sure how they're going to pull that out, but looking forward to a new season at some point.
I finished the first season of the UK Being Human, which I liked very much. Good character development over the course of the season. (I also loved that George got a guest spot on Sherlock in the Hound of Baskerville episode, which was just ridiculously appropriate.)
Still working on ST: TNG (halfway through season 4) and My So-Called Life. I've been watching the current season of Design Star too, which is frivolous fun. And I don't remember if I mentioned that we watched the end of the current season of Community? The video game episode was the best pretty much ever, but overall I was really happy with the end of the season's story arc. Concerned about next season, of course, but we'll see what happens.
