Maybe this wasn't such a good plan.

The plan was to spoil myself and watch new Who eps if they appealed. But I made the mistake of wandering off my flist. So naturally that resulted in a "O_O" post in the Filter O' Crazy, to which the sane UK people on my flist responded with, "uh, no." Apparently I'm unable to take my own advice of taking into account the source. *deletes f2 in my links*

I've now read bouncy posts, "meh" posts and posts in between. Still can't decide. It *would* be nice to do it all at once at the end, since I'm sure there will be some sort of character arc that won't be completely clear until the end...

Hmm. Actually, the strong desire to watch after first seeing posts pop up is kinda passing now. *goes back to Classic Who*

This has nothing to do with your post in any way, but I just watched the last episode of Rome and am sad. :(

It was the show finale, right? Awwww.

Yeah they only did two seasons because it was too expensive to make. But it was very good. I am going to give The Tudors on Showtime a whirl. I really like period dramas and they only seem to last in the UK or on cable channels. I think the last longstanding one on regular TV was Dr. Quinn. Ahhh Dr. Mike and Sully.

Blame the same cost-cutting impulses that led to the supremacy of the "reality" show, since they don't even want to spend the money on regular scripted dramas unless they're bringing in ridonkulous numbers. :-P

We persevere, and thank heaven for Masterpiece Theatre. *wry g*

Reality TV has eaten the country's collective brain. It is a such a shame, because so many good shows have gotten the ax in favor of utter garbage. The Search for the Next Pussycat Doll comes to mind.

Awwwww! {{{ hugs }}} Yeah, I miss my wiggy soap opera already.

We're definitely going to be getting rid of HBO now. Briefly thought about going back to Showtime for The Tudors, but have decided to save the money and torrent it Netflix it later. Looks like fun, tho.

I am excited about it. A hot Henry the Eighth. Maybe Rome will do what Deadwood is planning and make some movies. Sniff Vorenus.
