I am tired so this is going to be short:
( Spoilers for Glee 202 )
Besides that, things have been up and down (public transportation is hell). And very hot which I can't complain about, just not as much fun when you're walking around a lot. Been catching up on some shows including Dexter (OMG awesome), Mad Men (EPICALLY AWESOME! again), Cougar Town and HIMYM (not too funny but I love the characters). Also Cougar Town deserves major props for making me like the main couple together. THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT! Seriously TV shows, don't shove them down people's throats, just let them interact and let what happens good or bad happen. I am impressed. Also the finale ending was perfect last season. |

The Office got 9 Emmy nominations! YAY!!! I am so happy and proud of everyone who works on the show. It's good to see the show get the recognition it deserves. And I am SO happy with the acting nominations :D Steve, Rainn and Jenna, it's the most perfect I could expect from the Emmys. First of all, RAINN WILSON got the supporting actor nomination!! OMG YAY! I totally screamed in happiness at that news. It is so good to see him recognized because he truly is an amazing actor and this season was Dwight's season to shine. It was great to see the show and Rainn go beyond the caricature and make him so three dimensional from his love of authority to his geekiness to his relationship with Angela (Traveling Salesman FTW) to his principles (The Negotiation FTW) to his sweet moments with Pam (Back From Vacation/The Job FTW!). If there is any beloved character now, it's gotta be Dwight and Rainn did an amazing job of showing why. Plus, he's really, really funny. And I have to say THANK GOD John Krasinki didn't get the nomination over Rainn Wilson as I would have been pissed. I'm sick of all the fangirl focus on him to the exclusion of Rainn (and everyone else) especially when he didn't even do much this season. So I had a nice MUAHAHA moment there even though it would have been nice to see them both nominated.
Also Jenna Fischer got a nomination YAY! I am so happy and so proud of her as she really deserves this award. She did such a great job with Pam's transition into Fancy New Beesley and Beach Games and The Job completely won me over to her character. It's good to see the Emmy's recognize an actress that isn't famous and a character that is more subtle that most. Also I'm so glad Steve got the nomination for Business School! He did an amazing job in that episode especially with the end which was emotionally magnificent and showed why I love Michael. I understand Steve not getting as much fanfare but if he hadn't been on the list, I would have been enraged with the snub so I am thankful I can be relatively happy with the Emmy nominations. I also loved seeing Gay Witch Hunt and The Negotiation get writing awards as I think both are strong, funny episodes that get ignored in the favor of *big* episodes. GWH in particular is a favorite of mine that cracks me up everytime. Also I'm happy for Ken Kwapis and the editing team whose contributions often get overlooked but are important nonetheless. The only thing I'm disappointed about is the cast not getting a casting award and Melora not getting nominated not to mention Angela but it's the Emmy's so whatever. Hopefully The Office will at least win a few of the awards as I don't trust the voters to recognize one of the best shows on earth even if there is some good competition (but not better).
( More Emmy Positives and Negatives )
I may actually make three LJ posts (so sorry for the Randy delay) today for the first time in a long time. But I'll be gone all day tomorrow and Saturday for work and HARRY POTTER (!!!) so there you go. And I'm watching Torchwood and there was actually two great plots in a row! I get quickly bored with alien cop procedural format, Captain Jack Hotness or not, so seeing two good episodes was wonderful (the Greeks one and Suzie who I actually liked in the pilot). I still am not sure if I'll be able to finish Farcape before VIVIDCON (so excited!) but I'm glad to hear about the new stuff coming to that and BSG. Have I mentioned the 7th Harry Potter book is coming out tomorrow and I haven't been spoiled yet? CANNOT WAIT! |

| Summer TV |
[Jun. 9th, 2007|12:46 am] |
So here's my list of shows to watch and/or catch up on this summer with strikes through the ones I've done already:
Veronica Mars, Friday Night Lights, 30 Rock, Scrubs, Battlestar Galactica, Dexter, Gilmore Girls, The Office UK, Torchwood, Life on Mars, Farscape, The X-Files, Stargate Atlantis and Doctor Who before Vividcon. Possibly How I Met Your Mother. Does it get any better? Because I watched the first episode and found it very unfunny although I did like Barney. Maybe Frasier, Wonderfalls, Ugly Betty, Dead Like Me and Smallville if I can handle it. Are there any shows I should add if I don't want to be very spoiled at Vividcon this year? I usually watch shows based on whether they're high quality (the higher the better), the number of vids to it (extra points for really good ones) that I need context for, general fandom interest (so I don't have to skip as many episode posts) and personal interest (procedurals are mostly out ie CSI, Law and Order, Bones as are reality shows ie American Idol). Any other TV recs?
I'm also planning to marathon some shows with a friend to get her to watch some high quality television. So I may be rewatching Firefly, Buffy, Angel, Arrested Development, Heroes and possibly Veronica Mars S1 if I can. Yeah that's a lot of TV but I doubt we'll make it through all of it. The trinity of Whedon shows plus AD is a necessary in quality TV IMO. And there's always fun rewatchings of The Office :)
I always like to hold a vid over my head to reward myself for finishing a show. I finished Dexter tonight which was amazing and I encourage everyone to watch. Not only are the visuals absolutely stunning but the narrative is interesting and it makes you care about the characters even if they are serial killers. Sounds crazy but true. So I finally got to watch ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif) sockkpuppett's vid Blood Fugue which is just as amazing as usual and a definite rec. I also finished Gilmore Girls S5 so I got to see obsessive24's Maybe Tomorrow here which is Christopher/Lorelai but even if you're a Luke/Lorelai shipper (I'm both) you should still watch it. It makes a static show *move* and is full of heart, cool parallels and great building with the music.
I saw Steve Carell on The Tonight Show tonight *squee* How is it possible for one man to be so funny, cute and smart? I usually just catch actors appearances on youtube but it was definitely worth it to watch him. I really can't wait til Evan Almighty. I still can't believe I met him, it's like a dream. Which speaking of, I had a dream where I finally met John Krasinski since he's the only one I haven't seen yet. I got to have a conversation with Creed and Melora too. I will definitely be at the Office convention in October and at Melora's show in LA in January. I can't wait! I went to my cousin's house this weekend and survived my first 24 hours without internet in a looong time but the best part is we went past Scranton twice and the second time we stopped in the city. My parents and I went to the Mall at Steamtown and I saw Victoria's Secret, ate a Auntie Anne's Pretzel (like Kelly) and got a bunch of pictures in front of the Welcome to Scranton sign. The only bad part is I couldn't find Poor Richard's Pub. Yeah, I'm a total Office fangirl and proud of it :) |
