Television! Teacher, mother, secret lover.
I've decided that this TV season I am going to be writing about the TV shows I'm watching. I may be terrible at writing about actual life, but I've managed to write a bit about TV before. So consider this me committing myself to posting more :)

In the spirit of which : Charlie Jade! I watched many many vids in the wake of Vividcon (and I'm still getting around to posting coherent responses to most of them), basically by trawling through these lists, and for some reason I downloaded gwyn_r's Charlie Jade vid I Remember. I liked it. A lot. So I "obtained" the entire series. And now me and mum have just two episodes to go before we finish the whole thing and we're both incredibly sad there isn't more.

It's an amazing, wonderful, beautiful series and I just can't believe that it never really got more attention. Or rather I can, because anything that I like is pretty much guaranteed to be incredibly unpopular with the vast majority of the population :( I think it might finally be being shown in the UK sometime in the next week or so though. I now have my fingers crossed for a UK DVD release :) It'd be rather easier for me to get a hold of than the Japanese one...

Probably my favourite thing about the series (so far, anyway) has to be 01 Boxer. He hasn't really seemed to have that much character growth exactly (which is normally one of the things I love) but there's just been this fantastic sort of slow reveal of who this character is and what motivates him and what he's working towards. He's also perfectly unpredictable and just loads of fun :D

I also love the cinematography. I really appreciate TV shows that look good, and this one definitely does. They also take a few chances with their editing. It doesn't always work, but I much rather watching a show that tries to be a bit different and fails occasionally, than one that doesn't try at all.

I haven't started watching all the new season premieres just yet because my little sister is home for the uni holidays and that means all Gilmore Girls all the time. Gilmore Girls is possibly the exact opposite of the sort of show that I like (oh no, wait, that would be Big Brother), but I am starting to appreciate that it does have some very funny dialogue. And Emily is utterly hilarious.

Little sister goes back to uni on Monday, so then it's back to parallel universes, superpowers and aliens :)

(What's lj's problem with the word "dialogue"? It's telling me I'm spelling it wrong *squints suspiciously at lj*)
