TV ate my life

I finally got around to watching Supernatural. I ended up going in town today for comics, then meeting my friend for a very long lunch and a couple of games of pool, then my sister came round for tea, then my dad wanted to watch Merlin. But finally I go to it.

( spoilercut )

Yes! Sanctuary's back!

I found it completely by accident though randomly scrolling through the listings searching for the new episode of Smallville, but it starts next Tuesday. As does Smallville. Supernatural returns on Wednesday. Apparently, a lot of shows that I watch begin with the letter S. I've really got to get that Sky Nevermiss thing my friend was talking about sorted, so I can keep track of them all, becuase stuff isn't advertised properly. Or it is, and becuase everything I watch now is recorded, I just fast forward through the adverts and miss it. Downside to the convenience of Sky+, I guess.

Anyway, X-Men First Class comes out tomorrow, and I'm going, despite Orange Wednesdays and first night mania. I really hope it's good!

Earlyish night tonight, I think. Work was completely mental, as always after bank holidays, and I'm exhausted.

Shit My Dad Days is funny. I thought it was crap at first, the first episode was definitely crap, but it improves so much. Sometimes it has me in hysterics. Though, it's not as good as Boston Legal. Denny Crane was William Shatner's ultimate role. I should watch my DVD of that again sometime.

I ordered the book of A Game of Thrones, might as well give it a go.

Supernatural...

Firstly, thanks very much, Facebook, for filling my f'list with unfiltered spoilers. Not cool at all.

Okay, I love to mess around with reality as much as the next fanfic author, but I think Supernatural is taking it a bit far. It wasn't so bad when Red Dwarf did it, it was a comedy show, and it is a funny idea, but I'm not sure whether this is going to be funny or angsty, and also, wtf?

Well, the RPF slashers are going to love it...

Sanctuary's back!

I noticed the first episode on Anytime, luckily, because otherwise I'd have missed it. Then yesterday I watched the first two together.

Recently I'm not getting as excited about my shows. Most of them just aren't as obsess-worthy as they used to be, I mean, the Stargate franchise had become Stargate Universe, which is frankly as meh as a series can be while still being sci-fi. Smallville is really starting to wind down despite the fact that they continue to churn out season after season. Chuck is okay, as ever, but the current season of that seems to be lacking something too. Or possible it's gained something, in the form of the relationship between Chuck and Sarah, that makes it less enjoyable. The same goes for House, though to a lesser extent. I've never been a 'Huddy' fan, and I'm just watching each episode thinking "break up, break up, break up!" I mean, you know they're going to, right. Right?!

But Sanctuary never fails to deliver. It's good to know that I can still rely on it to be exactly what it has always been. I just wish Tesla had been in it, that would've made it perfect. I assume (hope) he'll show up sometime during this season. Until then, I'll just enjoy.

And eventually I'm hoping the next season of Caprica will turn up over here. That's the other one that I'm really looking forward to. And Supernatural, though I honestly can't think what they're going to do this season (see how I'm being good and not reading spoilers or heading to projectfreetv to watch?) But really, I need to get into some new shows, or else I'm going to start watching Masterchef or something equally horrific. Are there any good ones out there that I've been missing? Any suggestions? I can watch stuff online if it doesn't show in the UK. I mean, I've watched the entire series of Bleach that way.

( Part 4 )

ITV1 stopped showing Supernatural season 2 a few weeks ago. Okay, I've already seen it on ITV2 or 3 (whichever it was shown on, I can't remember) but lots of people haven't. The reason they stopped showing it? Poor ratings. Gee, I wonder why. It was shown at 11pm on a friday night. Most of the viewers are teenagers and young adults, about half of them will be in bed at this time, the other half out getting drunk.

ITV already owns the rights to the third season of Supernatural, but when they treat second season this badly, who knows whether they will even show the third? But by owning the rights to it, they prevent anyone else from showing it instead.

If anyone wants to help, please e-mail ITV and ask them to continue showing Supernatual, urge them to give it a better timeslot and ask whether they plan to show season 3. The e-mail address is dutyoffice@itv.com. And please re-post this anywhere you can.

Thanks!
