They say there's more to life than watching TV...

... and unless they meant that there was also surfing the net, or I don't know, reading a book, I can't believe that statement. Nah uh *blink*

So, yay! The 4400 starts next week, it's official. Two episodes every Wednesday. I'm so curious about that show, it was time it finally aired *g* Still no date for Lost though, and I'm wondering whether TF1 really knows when they'll air it. Like, everyone else round the world seems to have a definite date except us. Cool *rolls eyes*

Also, I think a certain oceana_ should be a happy camper in no time because NCIS airs again next week as well, and okay it's in French, but maybe it won't scar her too much? lol Didn't pay attention though, so I don't know whether it's a new season or a rerun or whatnot.

Oh and I watched the first two episodes of Nip/Tuck yesterday and I don't know what to think of it. I didn't know what I expected but, well, certainly not that - it did grab my attention though, I'll admit, and I have the feeling I'll watch it. It's gritty and wow, so completely fucked up! Are the characters always fucked up like this? Also kudos for a show that introduces right from the start a male character who apparently was sexually abused as a kid - I mean, we didn't get more than just a flash but sadly there's no doubt about what was going to happen to kid!Christan - and a lesbian character who happens to be over forty. I mean, in any other show Julia would have been the one with that kind of trauma and Liz would have been a 20 something lesbian bimbo instead. Seems like that series likes to set its own rules. Actually, Christian reminded me a bit of Brian Kinney... only a grittier version of him maybe *ponders* Yeah anyway, I'll follow the show and see where it leads me *g*

Didn't feel really well today, I'm afraid I'm coming down with something - so when I came back I snuggled on my armchair with my blanket - Linus doesn't have anything on me - and I read some more Angel, this time of the Giles/Wesley persuasion. Watcher!love - twas nice *g* And now I'm starting my Saturday Series Marathon with The Dead Zone. It would be better if I felt good, but it could definitely be worse as Saturdays go, huh? *g*

Oh and babycakesin? I received your card, thanks, honey *g* So that's Wellington, huh? Man, it's a beautiful city! Lucky you *g*

Oh my dear, you'll definitely want to stick with Nip/Tuck. It just gets better and better and season two is so damn screwed up in a really big way and ends on such a wonderfully teasing cliff hanger. It's been months since the last new episode aired here and yet people are still talking about it and that's non-fannish types. ;-) Keep watching and I'll promise you'll keep enjoying and become more and more intrigued.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

You mean the fucked-up'ness grows with each new episode until it reaches a climax in S2? Man... dunno if I'll survive, then, because they started quite high already lol

I'm definitely intrigued already, and after your comment, my interest might have grown as well *g*

[slb44.livejournal.com]

Season one is fucked up but no where near the massive fucked uppedness of season two. Seriously, you can't believe where this is going and where it's going to take the guys. Season two takes a very slashy turn as well, and I mean that in both senses of the word. *beg* Hang on for the ride and enjoy. Lord know I certainly am.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

No seriously? Well damn, I hope we won't have to wait forever to get S2, then. Sounds like I'm in for the ride of my life *g*

And it turns slashy in both sense of the word? Oh boy!Now I'm scared... but in a good way. I guess lol

[greedy_dancer]

hope you're not gonna get sick!

i know Nip/Tuck is airing here, i caught one ep last time by chance. (they've programmed it just after "Xtreme Makeover", charming ...) I must say i couldn't really stand the gory bloody scenes, was a bit too much. but it seems like an interesting show, i'd like to be able to watch it ...

still no date for Lost? man TF1 sucks. (not that it's new or anything, but it could have changed when i wasn't there, i don't know ...)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Am afraid the Big Bad Tummy Bug got me.

Ah yes, the gory scenes - I can see why it would be too much for some people, they're certainly not afraid of going graphic, are they?

TF1 is still TF1 alright. I swear sometimes it feels like they don't know what to do with a good show. Like suddenly they're lost --no pun intended-- and don't know what to do with thad kind novelty *shakes head* But hey, someone picked up Lost at least, so let's just be grateful *g*

And you'll get it soon yourself, btw, won't you?

[greedy_dancer]

Premiering Feb 3rd! but hopefully i won't get to see it ... if all goes according to plan, i should be in NZ at that date! and maybe even with Babycakes!! *g*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Imagine if you could actually see it together? Wouldn't it be the coolest thing ever? I mean, apart from visiting yet another new country and stuff, obviously lol

[greedy_dancer]

you bet it would! i can imagine us going "hehe, i know what's going to happen! look out, Charlie!" etc etc ...

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I'm quite impatient for the show to start here because I'm dying to see it on a real screen and everything. Also, I'm curious about the French version, should be fun. Like, what will they come up with the whole False French Woman and the French translation and stuff *eg*

[greedy_dancer]

yes, that's gonna be interesting, won't it ... how are they gonna contrast French with French ...

[castalie.livejournal.com]

They'll turn False French Woman into False German Woman and will have Shannon going to Berlin instead of Saint Tropez and Paris so that she can translate the message from German to French, and they'll call False German Woman Kant or Hegel or Nietzsche and then no one will understand when a word French fans will talk about the show - except for us of course, but then we knew the real thing before everyone else [/elitist]

[whitevanilla.livejournal.com]

Nip/Tuck rules.


Enough said.

:)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Lol Seems like it does, yes. And I may even join its fanbase in no time, too lol

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

Well, fuck! I knew I was forgetting something on Friday night! I think I'll have to note down Nip/Tuck on my calendar for the next Friday...
Hope you're feeling better than yesterday!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Damn, and I thought I would read some mini-review on your LJ anytime. Seriously, don't forget to check it out next week cause huh... that's one interesting show. Fucked up and all *g*

And I'm afraid I'm not. I just woke up from a nap which lasted all afternoon and I'm still a miserable Mouse *sigh* But thanks, that's sweet *g*

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

Being sick sucks! I just hope you don't have any more exams to sit! That would really really suck...

[castalie.livejournal.com]

My next exam is on Friday, so I think I'll be ready to go by then. But I had to cancel going to my concert today and I'm not a happy camper *sigh*

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

Oh, not fun at all! What concert was it?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Twas Les Enfoirés *pout*

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

Poor you! *pets you*
BTW, have you seen the Stargate episode where Daniel eats an ice-cream? I've found screencaps of it and, well, I have a dirty mind... *g*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, Holiday! I love that episode - and each time Machello/Daniel eats the ice cream I can't help but think of him sucking eating something else, alright lol

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

Oh, I loved The 4400... never had much time for Nip/Tuck though, it was just a bit too fucked up for me >.<;;!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I'll tell you what I'll think of The 4400 - all I know so far is that I get giddy each time I see the trailers lol I really hope I won't get disappointed *crosses fingers* You know how much I love getting into new shows *g*

As for Nip/Tuck, the more I think about it and the more I realise my interest for it has pretty much everything to do with its fucked-up'ness lol

[http://users.livejournal.com/oceana_/]

NCIS in french???
Now I am scared. *g*
Oh, it'll be too much fun! When and where can I find it?

Oh, and btw, how are your exams doing? Any chance you have time for a smoke-free, slash-full coffee next weekend? ;-)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Yeap, NCIS in French, and I guess you'll have fun lol It's on M6 next Friday, that is, not this Friday but the next and should be around 20h50-21h00.

And I'm still drowning in both exams and exam-revising and should be busy until the first week of February, unfortunately. After that, I'll be free for our smoke-free and slash-full coffee, promise lol
