Michelle's Journal

poohmusings did it, so why not? There are quite a few decent shows out there this season, and so you can actually pick and choose for once.

On the chopping block:

• Studio 60. I just sort of fell out of interest with it. It started out strong but then kept hitting the same note over and over. After I came back from vacation, I realized I didn't really have a strong desire to catch up.
  
  
• Torchwood. I had my doubts about it on seeing the promo trailer before it aired, but watched anyway. But after seeing it, it's just not my thing. Too dark, and I'm not really talking about the graphic nature of it. (It takes a *whole* lot more than what they aired for me to be offended.) It was more of a "God, this is depressing" thing. And not a good BSG depressing. Not even my Jack love will get me there. But I'll still probably try and ferret out DW-related happenings in Torchwood by reading spoilers. And may even watch if something DW-critical happens. Heh.

On the fence:

• Gilmore Girls. Why am I still watching this show? Why? I CAN'T STOP.
  
  
• Veronica Mars. I seriously do not know how much more of this plotline I can take. nandamai finally hit the nail on the head with my problem with it.

Not gonna even start, so you can tell me how awesome it is and I still won't watch:

Heroes, The Nine, Prison Break, Supernatural, Friday Night Lights.

Still just really, really loving this show. So nice when characters have actual good dialog.

Made a simple clock icon that anyone's welcome to snag. (Got the cap from hooloovoo_42.) Actually, any icons I have that don't have a "made by" line on them are mine, and anyone's welcome to them. :)

You know, I hadn't really been blown away when watching the previews for Studio 60, but sooo glad I ended up watching it. I have a new show and would *completely* recommend the first ep to everyone. Go watch!

Have even snagged a Studio 60 icon. Woo!

ETA: Looks like you can watch the whole episode for free on NBC's site (apparently U.S. only):

http://www.nbc.com/Studio_60_on_the_Sunset_Strip/

(In the box "Miss an episode?" on the main page.)

ETA2: The pic they have on the main Studio 60 page? Completely odd. Makes them all look like they belong on a sitcom.
