More TV talk

[luinalda]

Was feeling pretty drained today. :-( Could've fallen asleep all the time, but tried everything not to.
I also have some headache now... *sighs* Just took an aspirin, and I'm hoping it'll be a bit better before I go to bed, so that I can at least sleep well.

They started showing Stargate Universe on TV here today, so I watched the first 2 episodes. Mhhh... Don't really know what to think of it. To be perfectly honest, I was a bit bored, and from time to time diverted my attention to my computer and loading audiobooks to my iPod . *lol* I didn't really care about the characters, most of them I didn't even find very likeable... Well, I'll try to continue watching for some more episodes and see if it (or my opinion about it *g*) improves. ;-)

Now "Battlestar Galactica - Razor" is on. I've never seen anything of BSG before and I know this is already set between season 3 and 4, so I don't have the slightest clue what's going on or who the people are. *lol* But it's JAMIE, so what the hell?! <3 :D I plan to watch the series from the beginning sometime soon, though...

Oh, and the trailers reminded me that season 2 of Dexter starts here on Sunday. (Yeah, I know we're way behind! ;-)) *yay* Though as I have the DVDs I might rather watch it on DVD and in English then. <3 It's a bit embarrassing really that I've already had the DVDs since April last year and still haven't watched it... *coughs* But now at least I have another good reason to. :D

I didn't hate SGU, but it never really managed to grab my complete interest. I think SGU is kind of an attempt to make a Stargate show that touches the Battlestar Galactica way of sci-fi (even the camera work), but gets a bit lost between the two and ended up not having much of an identity, or well, not enough for me to go past 5 or 6 episodes.

Now BSG, that is some good drama right there, not just sci-fi, but it's just such a great show! If you liked Razor at all I think you'll probably like the show, especially if you start at the very beginning and 'meet the characters' like that. I think out of all the show I still love the firt miniseries and start of 1st season most of all <3

Sorry I just went on and on, I'm way too chatty today! xD

I must admit I never really wanted to watch BSG... But I'm willing to sacrifice myself for Jamie. :D *lol* I really hope I'll like it though. If not, I'll at least have someone nice to look at. *whistles* ;-)
Razor was ok. Definitely more exciting than the SGU pilot.

I have the miniseries now, so hopefully I'll find the time to watch it on the weekend.

When I started watching BSG I had no idea who Jamie was, so that was a nice suprise ;D But you certainly will see a lot of him in it, and if you don't watch anything else, you can just watch the infamous towel scene xD

Razor isn't really a favorite of mine, I think the earlier seasons are much better in comparison :)

SG-U: I am one step further. I watched 5 or 6 episodes in the english version, to see if I like the show. Fazit: I don't like it. Dr. Rush is enoing (sorry Mr. Carlyle) and the characters for my opion are really bad (Funny scene as Eli got transported from the stairs to the ship).

BSG Razor: Is that a spin-off? I don't know. Had a few short looks yesterday between the olympics. And I also downloaded the first season of BSG but didn't watch it till now.

We seem to agree about the SGU characters...
You don't give me much hope for the next episodes either. *lol* ;-) I'll still give it a try, but I don't really expect that I'm going to like it any more...

Razor was a movie special, between season 3 and 4.
I only have the BSG miniseries so far, which I hope I'll be able to watch at the weekend.

I'm looking forward to Dexter! Season 1 was absolutely awesome, so different and really great! But yeah, we're so behind, but I haven't bought the dvds (yet). ;-) But I tried to avoid spoilers.

Yeah, season 1 of Dexter was brilliant! I loved it! <3
I first watched it when it was on TV here in 2008, and then again a few months later when I got the DVDs.
From what I've heard, the 2nd season is supposed to be even better, so I'm very much looking forward to watching it. :-)

Last year I also read the first 3 Dexter novels, which are great too! I really enjoyed them, especially the 2nd one (Dearly Devoted Dexter).
Definitely have to get book 4 soon.
