Thursday TV Roundup

Happy Birthday [livejournal.com profile] sisabet and [livejournal.com profile] coffeeandink! It was great to meet both of you at Vividcon :) Also Happy Belated Birthdays to [livejournal.com profile] yhlee, [livejournal.com profile] almostcanon and [livejournal.com profile] clayangel! Hope you all had great days.

Nothing makes me happier than walking outside into 80 degree, sunshine filled days. It puts a smile on my face whenever I do it, knowing that I'm living the dream when I would have been freezing only a year ago. Second semester has begun and my days are pretty packed from 8-5. The good news is I'm making a lot of money and taking two awesome classes I'm loving, Social Psychology and Cognitive Psychology. So interesting and the professors seem great so far.

I'm still obsessed with The Office and have now rewatched all the episodes twice. I'm planning a third rewatching as well. It's just SO GOOD and I am completely in love with all the characters (except Andy). The show makes me so happy with Michael always making me smile. I've been watching a bunch of vids for it and found two that were well edited and wonderful here: http://4am-insomniac.com/?cat=3 with Love Machine being fast paced and fun and Lovin' Each Day being super cute, funny Jim/Pam goodness. Since I've been in a comedy mood, I've been rewatching Arrested Development and I think although both shows are about equal in quality, The Office has been more successful because of its ability to fully love and relate to the characters as well as having a big ship that people can get behind. I tried 30 Rock but didn't find it that funny and I'm beginning Scrubs now which I have yet to form an opinion on yet. And I'm still continuing to watch Gilmore Girls and Due South, both which I still enjoy very much.

Thursday night is definitely the best night of the week with The Office, Supernatural and Grey's Anatomy.



I love Michael's tape in the beginning. "Epiphery"! Dwight shaking his head at Michael getting it wrong and then Dwight in a bra! Oh, Dwight. And then the son maybe being a murderer, "maybe that's how you die". Hee! I adorethe Wikipedia reference and Michael's misunderstanding. And I love Michael thinking of his better weddding, probably thinking of Jan. And then the GAI and the "hourlong shower with guys" hehe. Oh, Michael. Aww Michael never being to a Bachelor's party :( "Shut up, Angela!" at the strippers never gets old. Michael mistaking the Ben Franklin imitator for a stripper was just way too funny. Alias reference! And then the return of the Foreman girll that burned Michael's fooot, "I got all the foot off of it". Hee. Manmeat!

Michael's excitement at the stripper is too cute considering he's like a kid hehe. And then "I have a girlfriend" leading right into "This is wrong" is just too perfect. He totally loves Jan! Awww Michael. I love how in the end, the stripper just giving him simple truth is what makes Michael tell Jan ("dance up" hee!). "That is not the real Ben Franklin. I am 99% sure." So funny! I love you, Dwight. I really like how when Jan answers the phone, it's so much softer to him especially the "Are you okay?" Aww. And then my favorite, "I'm closer to firing you" "You are so sweet" Awww Michael you are so cute, it should be illegal. Best girlfriend ever!





At the moment, I am completely loving the emotional porn with Dean and Sam. I could enjoy each episode if they kept giving one scene per episode of that. Playthings was amazing with the drunken touching and need and they were sooo close to drunken sex. Highlight of Nightshifter was definitely that end with the awesome music and them escaping with "We are so screwed". Yay consequences! Didn't like the last episode as much, mostly because I don't care much about the episodic plots at all as I'm not much into horror. Also, Dean? Still super hot.





Finally a good episode! I loved Mark and Addison's flirting with the "I don't think about you" and how that comes back for them later. Meredith is a million times better when she deals with her mother (or Cristina) so it was great to see that plot. I hate the Callie and George marrying storyline, they've barely gotten back together or really know each other and George's dad just dies and then they get married? Ugh. I don't care about either of them now so whatever. Izzie stealing patients was too funny, it's great to see Meredith, Cristina and Izzie have scenes. Addison looking at Alex was hot but Alex is most decidedly not IMO so I really don't want them together because I think Alex is bland and beneath her. And it interferes with my ship ;) Poor Meredith with her mom :( It was so awesome to see Cristina and Meredith's mom interact, Cristina taking advice from her makes a lot of sense. The blood toxin was a great plot, lots of suspense there and I loved Addison going in there and then being hugged by Mark on the way out.

Mmm Mark and Addison sex, yay! I will ignore any thinking of Alex implications, thank you very much. It was very hot. Even though I am very disappointed at the writers for making Mark one dimensional, I will keep up hope that someday he and Addison will be able to work it out. Then came my favorite scene with Cristina and Burke. Cristina=perfect. "I don't do rings" is exactly how I like her perspective on marriage with strong reminders of Brian and Justin. I love how she touches him and his look and then how they both declare their independence. But YAY! Smiling and twirling in each other's arms makes me SO HAPPY. That is the reason why I fell in love with Cristina and Burke in the first place. Absolutely beautiful and wonderful and perfect :D



Is it Thursday yet?

TOTAL word on twirling Burke/Cristina being the best thing ever - I could not love them more.

But they might be tied with Michael and Jan, because holy god are they cute!

Plus Dwight in a bra = ftw :D

Yeah, that twirling scene continues to make me ridiculously happy. I just hope they continue to make them so awesome. Michael/Jan would totally tie with them and at the moment be even better- if they had a scene together. But cute phone calls are awesome as well.

Oh the crazy things Dwight will do for Michael hehe.

I loved this episode!
This really reinforced my love for the show.
I loved Meredith's interaction with her mom here. IMO, Ellen Pompeo delivered her hands down best performance to date in the 'You happened to me' scene.
The Cristina-Ellis interaction made perfect sense.
And I also loved that Cristina, Meredth and Izzie have scenes togather again.
This episode really reminded me of season 2.:D

Aaand, i think i'm forgetting to mention something...
oh yeah...
They're engaged!!
Our beloved burktina. Engaged!
I loved Cristina's 'yeah', Burke's 'Yes!', the laughing, the smiling, the twirling, the 'okay, okay, okay...' and the hot amazing sex i'm assuming happened afterwards. :D
I'm sorry. I'm a Bang perv. Ignore me.
They're engaged!

Yeah, I really enjoyed this one too and reminded me why I love the show. I definitely agree about Meredith, some great acting there. And yeah, very S2 like. Yay Cristina/Burke engaged! That makes me so happy for them. Laughing and smiling and twirling continues to put a huge smile on my face. I'm a total fan too so I understand :)

Addison looking at Alex was hot but Alex is most decidedly not IMO WORD. We should be twins. I think we may be the only two people in fandom who don't think Justin Chambers is all that attractive. (Um, ok-to-good body, average face.)

And sigh. Alex implications can bite me. We all know she's lying.

I haven't actually seen the episode yet but your comments on Mer and Cristina and Cristina/Burke make me exciteded!

[identity profile] anoel.livejournal.com 2007-02-06 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I really don't see what others find attractive in him at all. And his personality is worse than his face so I care even less about him.

Yep, Addison is lying to herself. And you really should see the episode ASAP!

eeee emotional porn is right! drunken sex is right! best ship ever haha and you are so right! the ending music in nightshifter was so perfect haha
i actually did like the last episode. thought it was interesting with the religious themes. and ive come to realize its almost anti-fandom but i looove episodics haha like, i love and adore and find the emotional porn mentioned about completely nessisary, but i wish there were more scary stories like season one. i think im pretty alone in that though....
at the end of the last episode they played Knocking on Heavens Door!!!! i have to admit, i had a hard time paying attention to their conversation because i was trying not to gasm over the song hehehe

[identity profile] anoel.livejournal.com 2007-02-06 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, emotional porn and good music does it for me for Supernatiral. I'm not really into religious stuff so the last one wasnt helped by that. I've never liked episodic stuff whether it be freaks of the week, mystery of the week or horror of the week. There's actually a bunch of people who are into the legends but thats not me. But thats why its a show, so theres always something for everyone :)

[identity profile] messyjessie58.livejournal.com 2007-02-06 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah normally religion turns me off, but supernatural is so persuasive! haha one moment im hinding in my dorm room because the light outside my door is flickering and then the next week i am considering the possibility of angels and fate haha

spn is love
