TV rambling

[castalie]

Participated in two interesting threads last night. One which could have turned ugly real quick but didn't and the other which was just plain cool - audrarose? We'll have to keep the Numb3rs love strong throughout the summer *bounce* When is S2 likely to air, btw? I know we still haven't watched the season finale god not the season finale! Not so soon *sob* but I'm still thinking ahead because I kinda have the feeling I'll go into withdrawal and everything so if I knew when, it would be cool *sigh*

Speaking of Numb3rs. Did you hear about Sabrina Lloyd leaving the show? I'm so fucking crushed! I'd heard about it sometime ago on someone's LJ but didn't want to believe it... And now turns out it was true? I love Terry so much, I don't want her to leave! We did say her absence in the last two episodes didn't bode well, didn't we? Seems we were right *re-sigh*

Okay so the Film Meme I did yesterday? Wasn't that much fun for me, tv junkie that I am - and with Terri, we decided to do our own - so I adapted the questions to satisfy our tastes. Here a new tv series meme. I'm saying 'new' because I know tv series meme already exist - what kind of meme doesn't - but this one is ours. Makes a difference, you know? *nodnod*

1. Total number of tv series I own on DVD/video [even if they're not complete, just one boxset, one DVD count]:
On DVD: 21 [14 + 7, seven being anime series]
On tapes: Around 20 + 5

2. Total number of tv series I have illegally downloaded from the net [shows, not episodes]:
13 + 7

3. The last show I bought:
Battlestar Galactica S1 - thank you amazon.co.uk *is in love*

4- The last show I downloaded:
I was gonna say Numb3rs, but I just remembered that I downloaded the pilot of American Dad just yesterday, so American Dad.

5. The last show I watched:
Kaamelott last evening on the telly and I watched an episode of Numb3rs too, on the computer.

6. Seven Six shows that I watch a lot or that mean a lot to me:
Quantum Leap
Stargate SG-1
The Pretender
Numb3rs
Lost
The Sentinel
Angel

7- First show I remember fangirling when I was a kid:
I remember some series that was part of Le Disney Channel kiddie program [Winnie l'Ourson avec Jean Rochefort, Zorro... oh la la, les souvenirs!] which I watched religiously on Saturday evening and Sunday morning - every week, with no exception when I was four or five - the biggest punishment my mom could come up with was forbidding me from watching *shudder* - but the real first show I fangirled when I was a wee!Mouse is Star Trek, ie TOS. I got hooked on that series when I was around seven. When La Cinq disappeared in 1989 and took ST with it, I was crushed. This is the real first tv show I remember obsessing over. I remember myself harassing my poor mom about Captain Kirk and his buddies and I was a big fan of the Kirk-Spock-McCoy dynamic - I loved them to pieces. Still haven't changed, ST:TOS is my favourite series in the ST universe.

8. People I'm passing this onto: turps33 and fangirl1981. Plus whoever wants to be tagged and play? Consider yourself tagged.

And now... off to read Seducing Sandburg again cause I have a sudden craving for some Dolimir Fics and then I think I'll snuggle up in bed cause I'm not feeling so hot *adds a new layer to try and find some warmth*

I was going to say 'tag me! tag me!' but I realised I'd have to mumble my way out of #1 and #3 (for #1: I suppose it means 'official DVDs', not 'DVDs I burned with the tv series at #2' :D)

re: Terry - I've just heard :((

[castalie.livejournal.com]

You can consider yourself tagged by default - and what is this obsession with people and following the rule, anyway? lol If you have to mumble your way out #1 and #3, then do it *g* I answer those meme my own way all the time, so go and have fun *shoohes*

Re:Terry, man... this is just so bad *sob* Beautiful icon, again, btw.

[enigel]

I feel vaguely ashamed that I haven't ever paid a cent for the TV shows I watch - well, not to the people who make them, 'cause my Internet provider is surely fatter thanks to me...

Thanks! It was worth waking up red-eyed then *g*

What is it with this doom of good things that can't last? At least we'll get a second season, but it'll be lonelier without her :/

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I love DVDs so this is a purchase I never shy away from - well, when I'm not broke I mean lol But yeah, I really love DVDs and I'm always looking out for new ones *pets DVDs*

And you did say I could snag those new icons of yours, right? Cause I think I'm going to snag that one - I've been waiting for some Edgy/Charlie slashy icons for quite some time now *cough* - it's quite awesome *g*

[enigel]

Of course! And thanks :>

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Thank you lol

Oh! Seducing Sandburg! I re-read it on Sunday, and it made me cry. It's my hormones, don'tcha know. Plus it is very angsty! Lovely fic altogether.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

It's wonderful angst, all right. I love that fic *g*

I received the Numb3rs episodes this morning! Thank you!!!

Re: Off topic

[castalie.livejournal.com]

YAY! You're welcome, of course - and sorry about SG *cough*

Also, please tell me what you think - even if you don't like it. I'll try to be strong if you don't lol

Re: Off topic

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

I've just watched the two episodes and I loved them! I love the characters and the way the series is filmed (particularly the bank robbery in the second episode!). And the maths part is just so well integrated to the investigation!
Do you know where I can find a torrent to download more episodes? *g*

Re: Off topic

[castalie.livejournal.com]

! I'm so glad you loved it *bounce*

Do I know where you can find a torrent to download more episodes? Are you kidding? Where you do you think I find my own files lol Of course I do *g* It's here (http://www.btefnet.net/?show=106). Episode 6 is missing but I have a STF link still active right now - I uploaded the episode for someone this week - so I'll send it to you now, before it goes to waste *g*

Re: Off topic

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Now I'm downloading like crazy! *g*

Re: Off topic

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Wheeee! You're getting into Numb3rs when the first season is about to end though, too bad. The season finale is Friday. But you still have lots of episode to catch up with, so yay!

Re: Off topic

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's great to have so many episodes to watch! Except once you've caught up with the TV, one episode per week is not enough!
I just watched Lost and I want more! *bounces*

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

*gasps* she can't be leaving the show! I don't want to! first Donald, now this - what are they doing? At least I hope it will be a big exit, like a death or something...

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I know, I'm already in mourning! First Donald, now this... it's been a sad week for Numb3rs news!

And a big exit? A death? Man, I don't want that, thank you very much! I'd like to hope for at least some guest starring from her part, and if she's dead, it's gonna be difficult.

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

I don't know, maybe they could pull a Due South on us... although that would change the show a little *giggles*

[zanzou-chan.livejournal.com]

But I just got so excited that Sliders!Chicka was back... *mope*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I know, I loved Wade Sabrina Lloyd's character so much *sob*
