weekly tv update

caught up on Veronica Mars and CSI yesterday. Waiting for Rat to get back in town to complete House and BSG.
quick thoughts..
i REALLY dont like this season's veronica. not only do i NOT feel for her, i find myself frequently wishing she'd stay off the screen. and while i was so much a logan/veronica fan last year, the magic just isnt there anymore. either the writers are fucking it up for the characters, or kb is losing interest in the character. for what it's worth, i dont think the show is going to have a chance if it continues down this path.

someone on the TWoP board put it well - there's no larger compelling war in her life. nothing seems to matter to her enough, that we feel for her. It's like she's becoming teddy dunn!!!!

so much for the quick thought (read RANT).

CSI - i like this show - it has a formula that worked for 6 years. Dont mess with it. but heard (SPOILER COMING UP) grissom will leave for a while to get back to stage acting (petersen not griss) and some other guy wil taking over. will wait to see before commenting on the potential disasterness of a no-grissom show.

BSG - so much angst for everyone. how long can ronald moore keep this up... i now prefer to read jacob's recaps (twop) than watch the show, to keep me feelng happier and creating some distance. but eagerly awaiting "unfinished business". can't stop the signal.

all that angst and TV = nostalgia => reading old buffy fic... that 'verse had some rockin' writers. looking for other 'verses which boast the same quality fic.

and finally completed backup of the seven ST-TNG seasons. now to complete 5, and start on 6. whooof. long post = painful cast hand. Am off to bed now, tomorrow is here.
