Hey, that's an anomaly!

[castalie]

You know how some people collect stamps? Well, me, I collect tv series. I was like that when I was six years old, so it's nothing new. And why am I telling you this? Because:

I saw Numb3rs mentioned one time too many on my flist and decided to download it. Because I've been in a downloading frenzy the past few days and they upgraded my program and it's all shiny now. Anyway, I really did it out of curiosity and wasn't expecting anything, but wow it rocked! So I? Might have found another show which I'd like to follow *cough*

First, well let's be honest here, I did like the premise. I mean, there was 'genius' mentioned somewhere in there, and I usually can't resist geniuses *g* Then the dynamics between the main characters is awesome and the visuals are just brilliant - I love how they integrate the equations and formulae into the scenes. It creates a very original imagery, and one that is quite compelling too *g*

Also, I had some nice surprises. In the first scene for instance, I was like "Hey, nice, I'll have a female character who looks sexy and smart and doesn't have anything to do with a bimbo and wait a minute! I actually know that wom- OMG but it's Wade!" Yes, Wade Wells or, you know, Sabrina Lloyd plays in that series and she looks good! Then later it was time for some "OMG it's John Gage!" because yes again, Peter MacNicol also plays in it. When shows collide...

I think I'm going to dig Numb3rs really much, and Don and Charlie a lot too. Their dad as well. They make a very good team and I'll enjoy seeing them interact with each other *g* Most of the characters were interesting, actually. I think it'll be a blast *g* Besides, even though I sucked at math, I find mathematics as a whole really fascinating. I mean, even when I sucked I loved the theories. I understood them well enough, I just totally sucked at putting the theory to use *shrug* But I love languages and math is just another one of them, you know? So all in all, I'm having fun with the show and its equations and stuff, even if I don't understand those for obvious reasons, because hello, a math genius I am SO not *shakes head vehemently*

Being a tv series whore is just so much fun *hugs self*

Also, thanks to babycakesin I bring you a meme :

These statistics were generated using the LJ Stats Web Interface by mpnolan. Original idea from scrapdog's LJ Comment Stats Wizard.

No real surprise, I think *g* Also, I picked the 80 first commenters. It was getting too long otherwise *g*

And finally. Bad Y!M, bad, that evicted me from my chat with babycakesin *glare* But huh... Clark just ceased working, so maybe it's a case of bad Clark, bad! Then again, now that he's back to work... good boy, Clark, good boy. Keep going *pets him*

Comments

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

YES! dude, I'm like waaaay ahead! of course I had already seen that but still: dude! I had no idea we commented so much *giggles*

Now, that Numb3rs thing... *clears throat* honey, sweetie pie, owner of the comment record on my LJ, would you be kind enough as to share the DL with me? *bats lashes* notice the shameless use of boobs to get what I want

[castalie.livejournal.com]

We sure comment a lot, don't we? Now we have proof! It's quite impressive lol

I'll try pumpkin, owner of the comment record on my LJ, I'll try, but bear in mind that the file is fucking huge and I'm afraid YSI will refuse to upload it. But I'll try right now *g* And yes, I see you know quite how what kind of bribe to use with me, huh?

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

remember those comment sprees we had back then on Terri's LJ? *giggles* poor Terri!

come on, I haven't used that kind of artifice in a while with you - it was about time, cause there are an expiration date and all! lol

Check out a site called...

[starwatcher]

.
YouSendIt.com

I haven't tried it, but seen it rec'ed. Apparently you can load large files quite easily. They'll hold it for a week, and you send the password to anyone you want, and they can download copies -- again, easier than an email transfer.

If you do, would you send me the password, too? I meant to check out that show, but missed the first two eps... (I *could* flaunt my big boobs, but wouldn't that be cheating, since I wouldn't follow through?)

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

*hands some chicken soup for Clark* did Warren upset him? Whatever he did, tell him that I'll kick his ass if he hurts Clark! *tries to be menacing and fail* Warreeeeeeen! *smootches* Euh, I mean: Claaaark! *huggles Clark* sorry for that, dude...

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Seriously, I'm willing to believe Connor might have upset him, you know how he can get sometimes. But I'll pass the kick-his-ass message even if you had to ruin the effect by squishing Warren anyway lol

[fluterbev.livejournal.com]

I am going to improve my stats now ;-)

Hey honey, that series Numb3rs sounds really intriguing. I've been reading about it all over the place too. Would you mind telling me where to download it from?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

LOL I see that *g*

Well, please don't laugh, but I downloaded my file from iMesh. No torrent or any real sharingfiles softward for me, apparently. Anyway, iMesh works now and then, so yeah *g*

I know that you can find the torrent files for the two first episodes here (http://www.btefnet.net/index.php?show=106) though, if that's what you prefer.

I'm trying to upload my own file at YSI atm but seeing how heavy it is, I don't know if YSI will be strong enough, it's sometimes quite stubborn *g*

[greedy_dancer]

aww, i'm 9 comments away from the Top Ten! lol
it's impressive to see that babycakesin got about 20 times more comments than i do ... then again, you've known her a lot longer, and no one can compete with the best friend! lol

Numbers, eh? sounds intruiging.

OH GOD, and speaking of tv series, did you hear about "La Plage de Newport"? apparemment c'est comme ca que va s'apeller The OC en France, on a eu des sneak-peeks aux versions etrangeres hier avec le "special season 2" ... et mon dieu, mon dieu, que c'est laid! j'en arrive a me demander comment qui que ce soit en France peut supporter de voir les series doublees. en tous cas moi c'est sur, je pourrai pas. je suis spoilee a vie, la. *shudders*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Your place is quite nice considering we've been on each other flists for less than a year *g* And yeah, no one can compete with Teh Best Friend lol

C'est pas comme ça que 'va s'appeler' la série, c'est comme ça 'qu'elle s'appelle' lol I laughed when I saw the title because it's so fucking stupid! Can't say I'm into The O.C though, so I could care less but seriously, dude! Talk about a stupid title change *shakes head*

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

*beams* yep... and commenting nonsense helps increasing that number as well lol - but like my babe said, I've been around since day one, so... And I love those long comment lines *giggles*

[enigel]

I have no chance of improving my spam comments stats, so I'm just here to blink Daniel-ishly at you so you would share that Numb3rs link with me too :D (if it ever uploads, of course); the premise sounds interesting to me too, but I have no chance of downloading all I want from filesharing :/

[castalie.livejournal.com]

The Daniel-ish blink works every time, doesn't it? The link will be yours as well if it ever uploads *g* The fourth try is still hanging so maybe it'll The One? *crosses fingers*

[french-hobbit.livejournal.com]

*blinks at Babycakes's score* Impressive :)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

To be honest, it's a good thing she got such a good and high score because being My Best Friend Babycakes, I would have kicked her ass if a) someone had beaten her and b) she had a tiny score *is all mean and stuff*

Mid-Range

[kimberlyfdr.livejournal.com]

58 kimberlyfdr

I always hit somewhere in the middle:)

Re: Mid-Range

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Being in the middle is a nice place to be *nodnod*

[whitevanilla.livejournal.com]

Yes! Number 8! :P

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I knew you would be in the top 10 *g*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I feel the need to comment on every thread just now to bump up my score, not that I'll ever catch babycakes *g*

No, what I did want to comment on is there any show you've never liked?

Apart from Smallville of course ;)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

You're in the top three, that's it that counts lol

And damn, if you forbid to me to actually use SV as a reply, how do you want me to answer that? lol But wait, actually, there's something other than Smallville. Ah! I've never been that keen on Alias either. See? I have at least two shows I didn't like! *sticks tongue*

[maaaaa.livejournal.com]

*bounces*

I made it into the top 80! WooHooo! LOL And at #28...not too shabby. Gee...I hope I said something coherent in those comments.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Considering there're more than a hundred commenters, #28 is definitely not too shabby lol

hope I said something coherent in those comments.

Well I don't know, do you mean to tell me my entries are coherent enough to actually attract coherent comments? lol

Also, this has nothing to do with anything but I thought about what you said in your last mail and decided to include a little 'Slash but also Gen and Het still approved and encouraged' comment at ST - so thanks for bringing up the subject, even if you were just mentioning it passing, you know? *g*

[audrarose.livejournal.com]

#41? Man. I thought I'd be higher than that - yours is one of the few journals I comment in regularly...

of course, they didn't take into account length - I'm sure I'd be much higher. :)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

It feels like you comment more, yes, so let's say your rank doesn't mean anything *g* Also, it definitely do not take into account length cause you would be in the top two, that's for sure *g* And how I love your detailed comments, too *g*
