My latest obsession.

[mrv3000]

I have successfully hooked a friend and her hubby on Lost by forcing them to watch the first couple of episodes last night.

*big bad giraffeabear stomps through forest*

Not-into-sci-fi-friend: So...is this sci-fi?

Me: Um...no. Not really. *cough* It's more of a character drama.

Friend: Oh, okay.

Me: Hey look - that guy was a hobbit.

Friend: Oh right. Is he a twin of that guy who played that other hobbit?

Me: [trying not to laugh] Yes.

I'm quite pleased with myself for hooking them. After the first 15 minutes they were commenting that they were already interested. After the two pilots and the next episode, they were talking about doing a lot of TV watching to catch up before season 2 starts next week. Bwah.

My work here is done.

omg!

THEY ARE NOT TWINS, YOU HOSER!

[splash-the-cat.livejournal.com]

Oooh, maybe they're CLONES.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

That wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Dude. Twins.

Also, HA! Someone's a little smashed.

*DIES*

The Giraffabear... *stomp munch stomp*

*waves* Bye Agent Weiss....

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

They are *so* related!

And I had forgotten about the chomped up pilot. EW.

Dude, if that ain't his twin or his clone, it is most certainly his 5th cousin, twice removed.

Liek whoa.

Very limited gene pool right there. ;)

I just watched my first ep last night and Dad's ordered the dvd which should arrive this week.. I have a feeling I'm gonna get hooked and watch them all before I go back to uni in three weeks!

And yup, Merry&Pippin actors so = twins

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

It's such a faboo show! I can't wait until the next season!

(Such the twins.)

[elaminen.livejournal.com]

Oh. My. God. Dad got his Dvd set yesterday. I've watched the first *two* discs already - that's eight episodes in two days. Wow.. I'm addicted. I've gotta slow down now though cos I caught up with Dad already and I now have to wait for him to want to watch them, so that I can watch them with him. Grr.

And I was spoiler free, right up until 5 minutes before I started watching it. Damn my dad :P

But.. yay. A new tv series, which is actually really good. Most recent serieses (is that a word) haven't been to great, I don't think.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Like crack, this show is. I watched it all when they aired it and then the whole thing again on DVD. Wheeee!

[diavestra.livejournal.com]

Dude! They are so not twins!

Hmmpf!

Although I was contemplating the fact today that it's quite unfair that we get to see Dom every week and not Billy!

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Okay, maybe not twins, but then their dad must have gotten around. ;)

[diavestra.livejournal.com]

Well, you know how those UK people are....tarts, all of them.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Very true.
