When spell checkers are *not* your friend

[donutsweeper]

Dear Mr. Spellchecker,

Gibbs talking about being threatened by an ex-wife with cast iron is a smidge different than being threatened with castration.  The latter probably would have made him a bit more upset.  Quit trying to change it in my story.

After the finale, I really don't hold out much hope.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I can't pin any hopes on it.

Rumor is 'House' is moving so it'll be up against NCIS, since I work Tuesdays (usually so I miss the first half) I have to tape it and I'd much rather chose to tape House over NCIS, because I really just don't care about NCIS anymore *sigh*

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I saw that on the fall line-up. I don't think NCIS has much of a chance.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

House used to be on Tuesdays but at 9est not 8. That would work well for me. But it's funny to compare the season finales of the two shows. One has had me searching out episode tags and chatting over and over with people trying to figure out what the future will hold and how tptb will "fix" things and anxiously awaiting the fall. The other? *meh* I've read a few episode tags, but usually don't bother to click on them, and my discussions have solely been to the effect of "well, that was crap" and while I plan on watching next season, I'm in no rush.

NCIS doomed itself

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

All the shows I seem to like end up doing that, I swear.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

they doom themselves? *sigh* sucks, doesn't it?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Yep. I equate it to my bowling skills. I'm really good until I start over-analyzing what I'm doing, and then I just completely fail. I feel far too many TV writers and producers do the same thing when it comes to shows.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

or maybe they don't think at all?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Probably more accurate.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

we'll see come Sept and Oct

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

So far away.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*sigh* true that. At least there is fanfic to keep us occupied until then!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

This is true!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

and repeats

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

And new seasons on SciFi!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oooh, that's right! And the end of this season of Doctor Who. I'm not the hugest of Who fans, but there are rumors Jack will be back, which is all kinds of exciting

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I've heard those rumors, too. I imagine it's going to be a pretty awesome ending, considering they're taking a break after this.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

next year sucks for DW and TW though. 4 DW "holiday" specials (each give or take two hours) and TW is doing some weird "evening arc" where they'll airing a 5 episode arc over a whole week and that'd it for the season

*mopes*

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Dude. 5 episodes? Those bastards.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

and all in one week- Can you say EXTREME OVERLOAD?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

It's like trying to eat a whole Devil's Food cake by yourself in one sitting. It's good to a point, but then you just can't take anymore.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

exactly! I probably would have used a donut metaphor, but yeah. *sigh* there is something to be said for anticipation

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Ok, now I want a donut.

I think the anticipation is half the fun.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I always want a donut. And yeah, anticipation makes finally getting whatever it was you're waiting for seem like it's that much better

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I've settled on a cookie, instead.

It's what makes standing outside a movie theater at midnight so much fun.
