TV ate my life

I had forgotten how good Teachers was. Well, the first three seasons, anyway.

freaky_science came round last night for a booze, pizza and DVD night. We watched the new Lost Boys movie, the first four episodes of Bleach and then episode 2 of the Walking Dead. During which, I learned that he had never seen Teachers (the link here being Andrew Lincoln) so I insisted he watch it.

But seriously, I had forgotten how funny it is, and how much I love Kurt and Brian. We watched it til around 4am, by which time I was almost half asleep. But now I really wan to watch all the other ones too. Well, except for season 4, obviously.

So, guess what I bought today. Season 6 of Stargate SG1. No, not just the first disk, that I'd been trying to justify spending £20 on for the past however long. The whole thing, the box set. No, before you go assuming I spent £60, it was cheap. Sliverscreen were selling them for £30 each, season 1-6 (random fact - it had just occurred to me that I have taken to writing 'season' instead of 'series'. I didn't even notice till now. Weird) and I was very (very, very, very) tempted to get the lot. But I suppose spending £180 on DVDs in one day is a bit overkill. Would have been so cool though! But no, I just got the one. *Series* 6 is the one I didn't see. I was in Austria when it aired on Sky, and I never got into watching them on C4. (Mostly because I forget, I mean, whose stupid idea was it to put them on in the middle of a Sunday afternoon?) So, here is my justification for buying it. I personally don't think I need to justify it, but my sister seemed somewhat appalled at my spending (and I didn't even mention the £20 worth of comics I also bought!) so, on the off chance that she reads this, because I can't be bothered actually saying it, Jennie, here is my justification:

1) Like I said, I haven't seen it. People keep mentioning things that happened in random episodes of SG1, and some of them happened during season 6. I want to know what I missed.
2) It was cheap. I was after all thinking of buying one disk for £20. For an extra tenner I got the whole season (series...)
3) McKay is in the first episodes. McKay rules, David Hewlett rules, and mad as it sounds, it annoys me that I haven't seen him in this.
4) Why the smeg is it any of your business anyway? My money, my decision. :p

So, that's my week's viewing worked out!

News from my other fandom - Teachers had been Cancelled. I got 2 e-mails about it from different people. Sad, I guess. But after seeing the last series, I can't blame them. I will have to mention it on the site. I really should update. It's been over a month since I have. I hate people that don't update when there is stuff to say..!

140 1/2 hours to The Brotherhood...

Changed the layout of my journal. I've been meaning to do it for ages. That provided me with an hour of fun, sad, isn't it?!
Well, I'm bored. No one is on any of my favourite message boards, I have done nothing all day and it is already starting to go dark. Don'tcha just love winter?
Well, I guess I'll go and update my Teachers website. I think I've been neglecting it recently. I mean, nice people have taken the time to send my stuff, and I've just let it sit there in my inbox. I haven't even thanked some of them! I'm a bad person...
Thing is, Teachers just sucks so much now, that I find it difficult even to get enthusiastic about the older episodes. I miss Brian and Kurt. I even miss Matt, and I never really liked him.

53 1/2 hours...

I wonder why James never rang me back. He rang a week ago on Monday and said he'd ring back on Thursday, but he didn't. Oh well. I'm rubbish at talking to him anyway, so maybe it's for the best.

Last night's episode of Atlantis was so good! I watched it again an hour after it finished! I would have watched it straight away, but Teachers was on. There was another funny Star Trek reference in Poisoning the Well too. Pretty much the only funny moment in it, because it was a serious ep. It was all about Beckett, so much that McKay was hardly in it, but that didn't matter. Oddly. Beckett is almost as good as McKay though. In fact if he was in it more often, them might have to have a fight to win 'best character' place. Or not. Well, I think McKay will always be my favourite really. I mean, just watch Hot Zone and you'll know why!
