I Am Stupid.

Apparently I don't know how to tell time. Or know what date it is (or what month, but that's neither here nor there). If something is on at 12:30 am, then the date has rolled over...so 12:30 am on the 8th means that Jeffrey was on Craig (heehee on Craig) at 12:30 am this morning.

I feel stupid.

My inability to tell time has thwarted me again.

I apologize profusely. Have this wallpaper of Jeffrey Dean Morgan as my gift to you.



I am sure that the interview will pop on youtube for those of you without the Tivo to save your asses.

And since we are on the subject of things which I am too stupid to comprehend, like telling time - let's talk about Once Upon A Time. Who is watching this show?

Can you please explain to me if the Mayor/Evil Queen knows their true identities or not? At first I didn't think that anyone remembered - but if she doesn't remember then why is she messing with Prince Charming and Mary Margaret like that? What's the point - just to be a crazy evil bitch? She must remember the truth, right? Am I confused or are we not suppose to know and they want us to keep guessing about it? Because sometimes I think she doesn't know and sometimes I think she does know and sometimes I think Rumpelstiltskins knows.

Anyone?

Sadly, I have no updates on the American Horror Story front. My download list is looong and I prioritize the torrents that are dying out. Since AHS is a new show, its torrents are obviously healthy. I'm trying to get the last of Desperate Romantics, a BBC 6-part period series that you'd probably not be interested in but I suspect your sister would love. (I recall you said that she enjoyed The Pillars of the Earth or it could've been Boardwalk Empire. Hmm . . . now I'm not so sure.) But your sister is the nerdy type (I mean that affectionately) and I think we both enjoy well-made historical drama. I'm following Desperate Romantics for Aiden Turner, who I shall wax poetical about another time. I have two more eps to go, but I might intersperse AHS somewhere in there. It's too good to resist.

We had a whole debate about whether BSG counted since it was technically a miniseries to start and then they made it into a TV show, so which episode was considered the pilot, blahbahblah - we take these discussions too seriously in this house.

LOL. Your BSG point is perfectly valid. I'm not sure myself on which side of the fence I'd fall on. I understood that the show was always going to be produced, but the creators opted to go the mini-series route to allow for a longer, more thorough introduction to the show. It's similar to the original show in the sense that the first two episodes were joined together and are often treated as a Battlestar Galactica film, when in reality they're actually the first two episodes of the show. Mini-series aside, if you want to go with 1x01 of the new BSG as the 'pilot,' I still thought it was a good episode. Suspenseful, well-paced and here's the important bit - it wasn't difficult to pick up the back story even if you'd missed the mini-series. That's good storytelling. And I guess that's my two cents on BSG and its pilots.

Death Valley and Hell on Wheels have not gotten any publicity in my neck of the woods. I'll have to turn to torrents for these shows as well. (That download list keeps getting longer and longer!)

As for The Playboy Club, I never had high expectations for it. I certainly never thought that it would be the next Mad Men or even attempt something of that caliber. (What show would be foolish enough to do so? Unless it's something HBO comes up with, in which case it wouldn't be foolish.) I just wanted pretty eye candy with some decent drama, a guilty pleasure so to speak. I thought The Playboy Club would be a soap opera thinly disguised with the sheen of a primetime drama. It didn't even manage that. :-(

Next up in the not-expecting-much-from-the-period-drama-sweepstakes-but-definitely-going-to-check-it-out anyway is Magic City. You obviously know why: Jeffrey Dean Morgan. He's a major upgrade from Eddie Cibrian and since I watch Spartacus, loved The Pillars of the Earth and enjoyed Camelot (flaws and all), Starz has a decent enough track record that Magic City shouldn't be a thorough mess.

Ringer has been getting a ton of buzz - now I kind of wish I had started watching that. Misha is going to guest star later this season.

K. is going to be so psyched. I wonder if she knows? She has a crappy connection when it comes to downloading. I may have to download Ringer for her (otherwise J., the downloading guru can do it).

(BTW, guest starring roles - have you heard about Nick Lea?)

No. I'm not even sure what context this is being asked. Ringer? Another show? Help out the clueless!

Awake has a lot of potential, but it's the execution that's going to be tough. This (http://www.tv.com/news/awakes-production-is-taking-a-nap-to-dream-up-a-few-new-scripts-27020) is the last article that I read about it, which is a little worrying, but it also has a link to the trailer at the end so you can see what I'm excited about. Whatever happens I'm going to check out this show. It's Jason Isaacs! Enough said.

Hospital stuff is indeed related to my dad. It's not very good news either but I'll update this journal when I have a better idea of what's going on.
