The Office is renewed for next year with 30 episodes! Hopefully most will be half hour ones this time. But more Office is always a good thing for me :D

I just found out that we get HBO here so I can watch The Wire series finale live! I am so excited. My first time ever!

So apparently Michael Rosenbaum and Kristin Kreuk are both leaving Smallvile next year. Which just means I don't have to watch Smallville next season (once I'm caught up with 6th and 7th...) because without Lex, my interest in the show dies completely. Especially since I still don't like Clark. I've been holding out for the show since there's still this Clark/Lex vid I want to do for the show at some point which I've had in mind for like five years now.

For the few people who watch it:

Man Michelle's life sucks :( If they were going to do Sid/Michelle, I'm really glad of the way it went down. I can buy them together with them both lonely and missing Tony the way he used to be. I love that OT3 btw. I was hating Scarlett at first but I'm really glad how they redeemed her and made her more than a multi-dimensional character. Her dad and her are still really creepy though, I love them all going camping and swimming together. Poor Maxxie though. Anwar's being a bit of an ass in the name of sex and the part with Sketch singing "If you're not the one" was so creepily appropiate. I really liked the pretty sun shots. I'm curious to see where they'll go with Sid/Michelle. Mostly I'm just so glad there's new episodes every week :)

So I started watching Rome last night with

lianri and I'm really loving it. Mostly because I have a ship! Titus/Lucius are soooo boyfriends. I love the looks between them, the funny, the banter and oh, everything. And I've only watched three episodes! I love the political stuff as well which is interesting since my knowledge of Roman history is fuzzy. I recognized Kevin McKidd and couldn't quite place him, first reminding me of the Primeval main character and then figuring out he's the lead actor from Journeyman (which is fitting because Primeval guy reminded me of him. Which I only saw the Pilot of but he's sooo much hotter in this show which just goes to show how much personality can help a character. Also Suzie from Torchwood is in it so that was cool.

Project Runway finale tonight! I am so excited to see the collections and who wins. I'm completely unspoiled so it should be a surprise.

OMG, I totally have to talk to you about my Roman Alias idea sometime.

Ooh sounds good! I love AUs.

30 is a lot. I'm excited. It probably does mean we'll be getting several hour-longs, and I don't know how I feel about that. I'd be in heaven if they did 30 individual half-hours.

But yay for lots of Office either way!

Well I just hope they save them for the premiere, finale and Christmas special and have everything else be half-hours or supersized. Agreed about the heaven though.

Exactly :)

ROME! Titus/Lucius! I love them, so much. Just, oh god. It's definitely one of my most favorite ships ever. I've been wanting to rewatch the show, especially since I haven't watched all of season two yet (I couldn't because thought of that being the end was just horrible). But, yeah. Definitely need to rewatch.

I just... god, love that show. :) I'm glad you're enjoying it.

I'm really glad to hear that MR is living SV because just, yeah. He deserves better and I can't imagine that show going on any longer. I wonder what they're going to do because it's such a joke to me now.

Yay! They are so awesome and totally won me over quickly. I'm getting my friend to ship them now on rewatch which is fun. They've got such an emotional connection, it's wonderful.

Yeah, I agree. He's an amazing actor and I hope he finds some good projects. I think they're just keeping it on because it's got the highest ratings. I'm assuming there will be lots of Clark and Lois and bad guys of the week and apparently Supergirl? Whatever.

oh michelle. i have to admit, i was totally excited that her and sid finally kissed! but not in a weird, my name is michelle and i solve problems by taking my shirt off kind of way.

i only wish they had made it a little more romantic and less about jumping bones. the fact that she said sid was her first climax (did i hear that right?) was really interesting because she has always been such a sexual character. i think it would have been really neat if the audience had known that about her for a while and then get to really experience that moment with her in this episode. maybe that just makes me creepy, but i think it would have been a seriously interesting subplot.

and oh noes! cassie! i feel about as torn as sid right now haha :P

Yeah it was great to finally see it. It felt real and emotional which I liked. I can understand the first time being more about sex just because Michelle is more used to it and Sid's been fantasizing about it for a long time. But yeah, I wish there was more about that and hopefully it will be a bit more romantic in the future.

Well I don't really like her so I don't care but I do think she's a better match for Sid in the end so I'm sure it'll turn out alright.

I can't wait for Project Runway finale!!

Wasn't it great? I enjoyed it a lot :)

Speaking of Skins - it's timely as I've been trying to download s2 via torrents and having zero luck in achieving a single download. No idea why. I know you've done this in the past, so I'm wondering if there's any chance of you uploading s2? Will offer hugs and puppies in exchange.

I would but I can't right now. You can watch them on youtube if you're desperate and there's another way I'll message you about.

I hope maybe you vid the show sometime!

Hehe, funny you should say that, cos I just emailed Dorinda @ VVC to tell her I would be able to include Skins in my VVC auction list. :D I have no ideas of my own, but it would be awesome if a bidder asked for a Skins vid.

Kevin McKidd also played Tommy in Trainspotting back in 1995. That's where I knew him from.

I'm so glad you've started watching Rome! Seriously, it's one of the greatest show ever put on television. The first season is definately full of Pullo/Vorenus, however, the second season has some really great Atia/Servilia and Mark Antony/Atia/Cleopatra stuff going on. :) And, all things considered, the political stuff is incredibly well-researched.

I have no idea what that is lol. But yeah, I knew you'd be happy :) It's definitely great. As long as there's Pullo/Vorenus I'm happy! They are awesome. And I'm glad the political stuff is accurate. My friend is a Latin geek so she points out discrepancies for me ;)

So apparently Michael Rosenbaum and Kristin Kreuk are both leaving Smallvile next year.

Wow, I hadn't heard that. I really think the show's gonna go down the tubes without them. 'Cause while Lex gradually became a less kickass character as the show progressed, Michael continued to be the best darn actor on the show and as for Lana/KK, fandom may hate her, but the mainstream non-fannish viewers at home sure loved her.

Really, I am stunned that TPTB actually think the show will keep afloat with two thirds of the leads gone. I guess they're banking on people transferring their heroine love to Lois and going the villain of the week route without Lex there to stir the pot, but I think they're gonna be in for a rude awakening when ratings plummet.

Yeah I read a news article on it and was surprised. Yeah I doubt it will be even half as good without Lex. I'm assuming they think the Superman comic geeks will stay with it with Clark still there and the Clark/Lois stuff will keep some of the shippers there. It's their highest rated show so I think they're desperate. Who knows what will happen.

Woah what??!! MR is leaving Smallville?? I can't imagine it doing well without him.

Yeah I can't believe it either. I don't think it will do as well but I'm sure some Superman lovers will stay so I don't know how the ratings will do. It effectively ruins my interest in the show though.
