The future of television

Obviously, we’ll see advances in technology. TiVo, iPods, streaming video — the way we watch TV is changing dramatically. It’s on our phones, in our cars — even projected on specialized eyeglasses. But don’t listen to the talk about having shows beamed directly into your brain. That’s science-fiction nonsense. Shows will be stored in the pancreas and will enter the brain through the bloodstream after being downloaded into your iHole.

Joss Whedon talks about the future of the television.

Goodbye Housewives!

Okay, I’m dropping this show. It seems like I can’t follow more than three and a half shows per season (the ‘half’ stays for Firefly, with which I’m catching up very.slowly – I watched only four episodes, duh. It’s really good, but I have no time.).

The first episode rocked, but the second, third, fourth and fifth kinda sucked, so I guess it’s time. I have on my harddisk the sixth episode, but I really don’t feel like watching it at all. I took a peek at the last minute, and everything I saw was a pathetic Susan sitting in the middle of the street with her wedding dress crying like a baby. So pathetic and so lame.

I’m kind of sad, because the first season was really good.

Oh well. Maybe I’ll start watching it again when it airs here in Italy (March 2006, I guess), or maybe not. It all depends on my boyfriend, really. 

VM 2×05 – Blast From The Past

[Didn't write here for a while, I've certainly been a busy little bee.]

I loved this episode. It was great, best episode after the season premiere (I still miss the flashbacks, so I can’t consider it as the best, yet).

I really was hoping Veronica and Jackie would have become friends, at the end, but Jackie seems not to be able to stop being a bitch. It’s funny how everybody seems to hate her, what were the authors thinking? Why the hell did they introduce such an awful character? Angst? Or what? Veronica didn’t need another opponent, she already had tons. And yes, I’m happy to see Wallace having a girlfriend, but I was hoping his girlfriend was nice and cute. He doesn’t seem the kind of boy who likes a girl just because she’s hot, doesn’t he?

I’m sorry for Wallace, I sure am. I almost cried when he left, at the end of the episode. I hope he’s coming back, I love how he and Veronica interact, even if V is a little selfish (W was right, but we love her anyway, don’t we? And he loves her too.). I think his dad really cares for him, BTW.

I liked VD in this episode. I liked them for the first time, I thought they were cute. LoVe is always the best, but VD could work, if they go on like this. And Duncan/Logan? Wonderful! And it was Duncan who did the first step! Absolutely fantastic.

Keith was awsome, as usual. Enrico Colantoni amazes me, I was staring at the monitor of my pc with tears in my eyes, when he was listening to the phone message, he’s a fucking great actor. Keith is love.

And, last but not least, Lamb. I usually love him (he’s an idiot, but hey! He makes me laugh all the time :)), but this week? Not at all. He bugged me.

Oh, I almost forgot, palmist!Mrs Huber. Her characters are always supposed to be hated, I guess.

I’m going to watch it again, this evening. But now, back to work.

VM 2×01 – Normal is the watchword

Okay, I was shocked. Twice. First, when Veronica kissed Duncan (I totally didn’t see that coming – nobody did, I guess – and I was like “OMGWTF? O_O”); second, the last scene, with the suicide and everything. This is why I love Veronica Mars, it’s a shocking-show.

So, it was Logan at the door. Poor boy. Makes me want to cry.
Logan and Veronica are so cute together. I’m not a great Logan fan, but they’re really sweet. VD = evil.

“People love me.” “No, they don’t”. (Veronica Mars is smarter than you)

Meg is a bitch. Never liked her.

“I love people. I’m a people person.” LOL.

“You’re dad’s hot!” -> Sure he is.

Great episode. I watched it twice, and maybe I’ll watch it again. I missed Veronica Mars, I really did.

DH 2×02 – You Could Drive a Person Crazy

Random rants written down while I was watching.

LOL, I can’t stop laughing. Susan was great, with that newspaper. Susan 1, kid 0.

“Why are all rich men jerks?” “Some reason all beautiful women are bitches.” Gabrielle and Carlos are a great couple, they make me laugh so hard.

“Punishment”? What the hell did he do? She was lying to the doctor, for sure. I believe she is the one who is mental, not the men down there.

Aaw, Susan and Mike kissed. So cute.

I told you. Susan will figure out.

Pff. Matthew.

Bree slapped her! Yay!

Oh, George. I want to kill him.

Uh, poor Edie :(

Lynette won. She rocks. OMG she’s talking to the rat. LOL.

Rex’s mother is a bitch. Bitch, bitch, bitch.
