Jan. 14th, 2008 09:58 amMy weekend mostly consisted of watching stuff and fighting off a nasty sinus headache, not really my favorite combination. Oh and throw in Pye vomiting all over the place including on my project bag full of yarn and my latest afghan...and well you won't blame me if I'm decidedly "Eh" about the whole thing.
I liked "Shoot 'Em Up" well enough though some of the action scenes were so outside the bounds of reality that they became a bit silly. The off-handed misogyny made me wince more than once, and more than one of the one-liners actually had me groaning aloud. Still it was more entertaining than "Smoking Aces", which is very sad indeed.
I pretty much blew through season 2 of SGA and came to the conclusion that it was perhaps for the best that I didn't actually start paying much attention to the show until season 3. There were a few moments in episodes throughout that season that made me happy, and I liked the character development they allowed Rodney especially in "Grace Under Pressure". Also him high on enzyme and babbling to himself as he tries to get the DHD working made me laugh and laugh. I finally also have data points to fill in some blanks in a few of the fanfics I'd read so that's good too.
( And even the weaker eps in season 2 were making me happier than this week's new episode... )
( And now for spoilers on next week's episode and why it's pissing me off... )
On a brighter note Aelf and I settled in to watch the first two episodes of this season's The Wire, which were superb. ( Slightly spoilery behind the cut... )
