Really, why is it that the quality of television has been so good in this last few years? My last two fandoms have been tv shows, all I ever watch these days seems to be tv shows as well... They're bringing larger than life stories to the small screen, and it makes my heart soar because damn, but I'm a story-whore, and now I don't have to get my fix only in the cinema (although, you know, technically, I'm watching all of this in the computer, but bah, details, details.). Where is this coming from, you ask? I've been busy:

Torchwood 1x01 - Everything Changes: Torchwood blew me away. Really, it was much more than I expected. I like the team, they're silly and funny and WOOT! Morally ambiguous. Color me naive, but I really didn't expect that ending, but me? I know I'll love a show when they're not scared of killing a main character in the very first episode. Gwen is love. Really, I liked her loads, she's brave. AND CAPTAIN JACK. Oooh. SHINY. I like his coat, I liked his 'anticonceptives in the rain' speech, liked his cockiness. Liked that he's still madly in love looking for the Doctor.

And I especially, especially liked the fact that the Bad Wolf effect is still in him. Continuity love, yes, and man how much do you love the idea that not only Rose, but the TARDIS too cared so much about Jack to make him immortal. (Or was it unconscious?? WAS IT?? *fangirls*) I'll be watching the second episode today, yay.

MY GOD, I'D MISSED CAPTAIN JACK. He is too awesome.

Heroes 1x01 - Genesis: Wow. WOW. I get now why half my flist is gushing in praise for this. It was - it was awesome. It was a perfect first episode - showing us the characters, the stage, their connections - and woah, cliffhanger much? Did anyone noticed how we don't know any of the character's names for a long time? I liked that. I loved the music, the atmosphere, the PHOTOGRAPHY, OMG.

It definitely intrigued me, the way it feels like a big building up to something. Great, great, great.

Supernatural's finished downloading, and I'll go and watch it happily. :)

Pues ya me dirás cuando veas el segundo episodio... heh. A mi también me encanta Gwen, y sospecho que la shippearé con Jack (aunque Jack/everyone es canon, vaya) :D

I feel the same way. I never really got into tv shows until just recently...there's so many really incredible ones out there! It's like, for a long time soap opera-y type shows were popular(like Beverly Hill 90210 and Dawson's Creek), and then reality tv got big...but now there are tons of just really good character and plot driven shows, and it's wonderful:)

You're into Heroes & I love you madly for it. ISN'T. IT. WONDERFUL. It's just -- they're doing everything right. (And the cliffies kill you. Seriously.) ♥

Also, would you be scared away by my non-fandom journal? You talk a lot about RL in addition to fandom, and I read my other flist more than I read this one -- I'd like to keep up with your journal, so I might add you over there, too?

IT IS. SO MUCH. I´ve just finished watching ep 2, actually, and WOAH. Now I'm waiting to be validated in one of those coms-we-shouldn't-speak-about to get the rest XD How far along is the show?

Ehh, I didn't know you had another journal! Sure, add me, I wanna speak to you more also. :)

Um... I just watched 1x05 on the television last Monday? So you're not that far behind. You don't have to catch up on an entire season, as is the case with SPN. (I'VE FINALLY CAUGHT UP ON SPN! Well, except for the eps I skipped. Er.)

The interesting thing about Heroes is there's a ready-made fandom out there -- fic comms, discussion comms, etc. [livejournal.com profile] ninth_wonders is the newsletter. Five episodes, and a newsletter already? O.o It's kind of insane, in the good way.

I will add you next time I'm signed into [livejournal.com profile] wanderlight. :)
