[#086] Media ate me up and threw me out...

An entry about television! like that's different than usual.

i. slightly woeful. i was going to write up a whole thing about it but now i'm too lazy and would rather not think about it. but in short, it had to do with age, how when i was younger i thought i'd know so much more by this point, and how stupid movies make me think i should've had one of those "experiences" by now. (substitute experiences for whatever happy ending you prefer lol.) tis all.

now for more interesting things. :D

ii. a.Watched the first ep of New Girl! It was... a little tough to swallow at times because something about it didn't feel like a sitcom. I feel like what my friends said about it is true, that the plot of this show should be more of a movie than a show, because after the first ep, where are they going to go? But it'll be interesting and I'm a little invested to stick around for a few more eps if it does well. I am a fan of Zooey Deschanel who is thoroughly amusing but I feel like they used all the good bits of this show in EVERY SINGLE PROMO I've seen. Which, yeah, they always do anyway. I do adore one of the characters--Nick--who I hope will be the love interest and not Schmidt who is okay, but as Karen said over twitter, is totally an overgrown frat boy. (I was trying to figure out where I recognized Schmidt's actor from and he was Leo from Veronica Mars!) But yeah, it was just a weird pilot--the pacing was kind of weird throughout the ep, but hopefully it'll smooth out as it transitions into a whole series.

b. Last 3 eps of Rizzoli and Isles! I swear to God every single Rizzoli has a crush on Maura. With the second to last ep and the "chess game" between Tommy and Maura, and the opening of the finale where Frankie was offended that his mom said he'd "put on some weight" in front of Maura... I don't know. But we do know that there will always be something between Jane/Maura because they are the best. Jane got so jealous when Maura's Ian came into town and Maura didn't say a thing about him to her. Yes, yes, it was because Maura was hiding something from her best friend, but really now. XDDDD no I am not obsessive shipper self, but it thoroughly amuses me how much the writers put in there that is SO OBVIOUS. Anyway, I love this show, and the last 10 minutes of the finale had me so worried about the characters, but YAY. trying to keep vague so I don't spoil lol. Also, I just love Frost/Jane/Korsak scenes because they are always so much fun and seeing Frost/Korsak bicker is hysterical. ♥♥ (I hope they keep Tommy around because I kind of adore him... you know, what little we've seen of him.

c. Ever since I watched a few eps of Law & Order: SVU in LA, I have been catching random eps on USA (they had a marathon yesterday!). It has made me seriously consider watching the whole series. Which is dangerous because IT IS LIKE 10 SEASONS LONG. ~_~;; Please talk me out of watching the entire series. Although if there are certain eps that you think are AWESOME, please feel free to let me know which are good. Because I think it's the kind of series where you can just watch one ep and not have to watch 3 seasons behind for backstory. lol

d. Other shows I saw on vacation that I've been meaning to watch: Drop Dead Diva and Franklin and Bash. Too much television, NOT ENOUGH TIME. ~_~;;
