Birthdays and TV

[icepixie]

A very happy belated birthday to theusual! So sorry I missed it, but that whole London thing... ;) Also, chiroho, was it your birthday recently? If so, a very happy belated birthday to you as well.

I finally remembered to watch Spooks tonight, mostly because Andy Serkis was guest starring. It was...hmmm. Perhaps a mixture of Alias and some bad CSI knock off that was less than the sum of its parts? I wanted to like it, but it just didn't stick. Andy Serkis was amusing as a grunge rocker, though.

Also, I have Christmas card addresses for the following people:

Got it, thanks. :)

Nope. My birthday is in May. Wasn't me.

And you didn't like Spooks? It's got to be one of the best shows on TV! I love it!

Okey-dokey. I thought the timing was a little off. I think I'm just losing my mind.

I wanted to like it, 'cause I knew you and some other people are in love with it, but...eh. Maybe you have to know the backstory? Or maybe some characters are better than others...I didn't see any of that blonde chick in your icon, for example. It was mostly about the guest stars.

Losing? ;)

I didn't see any of that blonde chick in your icon, for example. It was mostly about the guest stars.

Actually, they've canned two of the three main characters in the show since the season started - Tom and Zoe. Only Danny is left of the original three - he's the black guy. The kinda scruffy looking guy Adam has replaced Tom, and I think the woman who plays his wife Fiona will be replacing Zoe in the regular cast. So it wasn't all about the guest stars. It's just that there has been a turnover of the regulars.

Hmm. Well, it was still sort of like warmed-over Alias, IMO...and there's no way I can remember to watch it usually, as it's on my main homework night, so... *shrug*

I've heard it described as a cross between Alias and 24. I guess the difference is that the plots and the characters are much more believable than Alias, which borders on SciFi at times. I like it though.

If you have BBC3, then you can watch it on a weekend night. Otherwise it's on BBC1 on a Monday night.

[icepixie]

Heh. That might be my problem; I'm totally not into straight dramas. Even Alias was pushing it a bit, although that may have been the general drop in quality this past season.. The coolest part of the Spooks ep was the not-quite-real speedy walking thing one of the "spooks" did.

We do get BBC3, but weekend nights aren't good for me either, I'm afraid; we're usually traveling. Ah, well.

[icepixie]

Losing? ;)

Ha ha. ;)

Thank you! And the belated bit is easily forgiven since you sent me the kind of weird/fun Spider-Man thingy. :)

[icepixie]

Mwahaha! Yes, it was all part of my dastardly plan to be forgiven for the belated bit... ;)

And it arrives on the same day as a birthday card from a friend in New York. I must say, you really are meticulous when it comes to plotting.

[icepixie]

Of course I am. I plot evil deeds with hoop skirts, I have to be meticulous. Otherwise I'd never fit through doors. *g*
