I don't want to mention people by name unless they want to be mentioned, but thank you to those who dropped a little holiday cheer into the tip jar.  I will use the money to buy christmas gifts for needy children to repay some of my karmic debt, like that Earl guy.

Well, that, and enough hooch to last through the new year.

Christmas spirit from christmas spirits?  Good call.

I bet he'll be "visited" by a lot more than 3 in one night, too.

...like that Earl guy.

I just recently downloaded the first 10 episodes, and  I've enjoyed watching them.  I remember, I think, Paul saying the show was good, but I never can stand sitcoms so I didn't bother.  But a while ago I was looking for the most recent Veronica Mars episode, and, bummed that it won't be on again for a while, went looking for another show to kill some time, and it was a good find.

[jough]

Yeah, I got hooked on Veronica Mars by downloading it (illegally!) although I also rented the first season on DVD for the bonus features.  It's my new favourite show.

Then I started DLing Desperate Housewives, which I also watch regularly now.

I think My Name is Earl is a pretty good show.  It's not a classic or anything, but it's the best they got this season.

I'm looking forward to Scrubs returning in January, even if the last couple of seasons haven't really been so great.

And 24 is always fun, just to see the ridiculous peril they can put the world in not just every season, or every episode, but every commercial break.  There should be an award for "Most Cliff-Hangers in a Single Episode of a Series" because 24 would win it.

I also highly recommend the new Battlestar Galactica, even if you don't like sci-fi, because it's really well written and dare I say realistic (as realistic as a show about space battles with androids can be).  Also, highly relevant to our current political situation.

Are the bonus features worth it?  Because I hate renting TV shows.  I love Veronica Mars, but I don't know if I love it enough to buy it on DVD.

Then I started DLing Desperate Housewives, which I also watch regularly now.

It's worth it if only for Eva Longoria.  Although I don't watch in regularly.  Soon, though, I will look for a torrent that has every episode this season so far.  Nip/Tuck, too.

Yeah, excited for this.  Prison Break made a valiant effort to be a beginning of the season substitute, but it doesn't even come near to 24's dread factor.

Have you (or has anyone) watched Firefly?  I just saw Serenity and loved it, and just downloaded the first season of Firefly.  I haven't watched it yet, but I'm sure it will be great.

I like Battlestar Galatica but can't quite get over the fact that the evil(?) commander of the new Battlestar is Ensign Ro.

My SO watches Veronica Mars and says I would like it but I just haven't gotten around to it. Good theme song though. I especially like the mashup with Intergalactic.

Firefly was OK but I liked Farscape better. I guess I just can't get into Joss Whedon's style.

[wombat]

People, stop changing the subject.  Send Jough money.

[V-Adore]

Have you (or has anyone) watched Firefly?  I just saw Serenity and loved it, and just downloaded the first season of Firefly.  I haven't watched it yet, but I'm sure it will be great.

I like Firefly, but I'll just warn you: a lot of the plot developments in Serenity are not actually set up in the series at all, and many of the plot elements set up in Firefly are not resolved in Serenity. The series also tends to be significantly more Western than Sci-Fi, which the film was not. That said, if you liked Serenity you'll probably like Firefly just fine.

Anyway, I would like to send Jough money, but right now I am hell of broke. Maybe after recovery from the holidays.

My nice little post about how much I love jough just disappeared. Seems if I sit idle too long my posts disappear.  Damn it.

Okay, so in point form, here is what I had to say:

jough:

- I am horribly poor, especially since some bastard broke into our truck by bashing in the passenger window. (A $500 deductable to pay?  Fuck, that's three times as much as I paid for my entire families' Christmas presents.)

- though I am poor, you deserve much love.  Yay jough. 

- tiny cans of dr. pepper are not enough.

- I have access to my offices' mail room which means I can mail out small items for free.

- I am arty and can make you a nice present.

- I would like to mail you (jough) some handmade gifts as a means of thanking you, and seem to remember you having a post office box.  Can you let me know your p.o. box address and also any favorite quotes from writers you like?  These quotes may or may not be used in the creation of said gifts.

This might be good for me, as I'm not really into Sci-Fi anyway.  I have all the episodes, I just need to watch them

Firefly was OK but I liked Farscape better. I guess I just can't get into Joss Whedon's style.

I still need to check out Farscape.

It's funny because I never got into Buffy and never even bothered with Angel, but I loved Serenity.  I feel like I need to give at least Buffy another chance.

I've said it many times, but if you watch Firefly, then the commentary on the last episode Joss does, then go and watch Buffy, it makes it a whole lot better. Once you know just how much he puts into everything he does it shows you a whole new level that it's too easy to overlook in the shows. I used to like it, then got bored with it, but have since become a really big Whedon fan.

Ugh. Browncoat mode off.

I just realized why he's got a post office box- the dude lives in an Arctic Fortress of Solitude. Did you ever notice a mailbox at Superman's fortress? Nay! So he's gotta go into town to pick up his mail!
