| Computers and TV= Love |
[Apr. 2nd, 2008|01:33 pm] |
I got my computer back! There are no words for how happy this makes me :D Computers and the internet and fandom and watching TV on my computer is a big part of my life and I make no apologies. I've been dyyying (that's right, dying!) to vid lately and now I finally can! I have my Sweet Charity vid all planned out and I'm so excited to do it not to mention my Premieres vid. Plus I really want to watch Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles so I'm glad to finally be able to do that not to mention finishing Farscape. Next on my list for long shows are X-Files (the movie is really encouraging me!) and SG-1 although I *have* to get through the first by Vividcon and I'd just like to do SG-1 by then. But besides that it's nice to be able to download music, put music on my iPod, comment and write posts at my house, download vids and access all my files. I say this a lot but I mean it this time, I will NEVER take my computer granted again nor vidding or writing because it's so wonderful to have the means to do it.
The Organization for Transformative Works is now accepting memberships and it only costs $10. I believe in this very strongly to have an archive for all fandoms with so many cool features (check out the roadmap on the site) and to protect all fannish works so I encourage everyone to join.
I usually don't read TV best of lists because the omissions or low ranked series piss me off but Empire's list is the greatest I've seen with a lot of high quality shows including many fannish ones. I have some problems with the numbering (Heroes is way too high in my opinion and The Wire should be #1) and a few of the best episodes (Not Pictured for Veronica Mars?! Many of the S1 episodes were better) but they have most of the ones that deserve to be on there. It seems some older classics may have been ignored but since I haven't seen most of them, I don't know. I do think The Office US should have it's own number because it's different enough and significantly changed the characters but they do mention it with the UK so I'll give them one. It's hard to rank TV anyway since episodes and seasons can vary in quality and the difference in network and HBO isn't an equal playing field not to mention some TV shows get a longer time to prove themselves versus others (see Firefly). I love the descriptions they gave of the shows though, nonspoilery and great at pimping me into shows since the list makers obviously have good taste.
Also? Flist you FAIL for not telling me Babylon 5 was all planned out for five seasons. I firmly believe that all TV shows should have a five year plan (or seven or ten, they can choose) and plan out as much as they can just like someone would do for a novel or movie in order to put as much foreshadowing and narrative unity as possible. This also avoids the classic not knowing what to do after the first or second season scenario. Now Babylon 5 has moved up greatly in my To Watch list. Any other shows I should know about that are very planned out (and good)?
Here's the list meme to go along with it:
1. Bold the shows you've watched every episode of
2. Italic the shows you've seen at least one episode of
3. Post your answers
( The List )
Office wise, the new promos are making me SO HAPPY. God, I love that cast. Also, Kelly is awesome. I love her beyond words. 8 more days!! Plus new BSG in three YAY! Speaking of, I randomly saw an episode on TV with the Baltar gets "framed" and goes crazy episode and it was hilarious how many of the clips were in Let's Go Crazy.
It's definitely vidding season and I am loving all the vidding talk around my Flist. I'm so excited for Vividcon in four and a half months OMG. I've been reading lots of vid meta and watching my vids on DVD to try to study vids more in order to get better that way so that's been fun. Vidding has moved to be my primary fandom right now.
