Caprica
Otherwise known as Jane Espenson's show, woo! (Only... not anymore, which is less woo, but... supposedly that was her choice? But we all know Hollywood's idea of honesty, so... well, she's still a writer, at least... ANYway...)
Finally saw the Caprica pilot, and my reaction was: Whoa. And then: :D BSG IS NOT GONE! :DDD
Although, for me, BSG is literally not gone, since I still haven't watched the last three episodes... Yeah. I dunno why, either, although at this point it's mainly that I don't remember what was happening and so now I'm gonna have to rewatch a bunch to get caught up. Which won't be a horrible thing, of course... and it's not like I haven't been watching ridiculous amounts of TV lately anyway. Obviously, from this post.
Interestingly, though, for all that I loved BSG, I was never actively fannish about it. Never wrote fic, rarely discussed meta, etc. It's possible it just had enough going on that the show itself was satisfying enough. Huh, what a concept.
(ETA: Oh... and apparently, they are doing the same general plotline that Heroes could have done with the Sylar!Nathan thing, you know... what makes a person, what about souls, are memories and such all that we are... Only, seriously, I highly suspect they will do it approximately 50 bajillion times better. Which is kind of cool, as it's an interesting question to explore, and all Heroes did was vaguely point out that it might be an interesting question to explore, and... ok, no I'm not even gonna go there right now, yeah.
ETA2: With added bonus creepy cults and... it must be said, vaguely incestuous subtext. Dammit. Now I have incest goggles, too. Frak. *shakes fist at Heroes*)
White Collar
I watched through to the current episode (what day does it air, btw? So I know when to expect my iTunes download), and I have to say that the show got off to a bit of a slow start, but as it went on and became more and more about the pure and true love of Peter/Neal... I got a lot more into it. Unsurprisingly, given that I am me. And Neal is beautiful. And Peter is deliciously snarky and kind of a dork. <3
Oh, oh, and his wife is so clearly rooting for them. She'll just want video. Or to participate. Or both.
Oh, and poor Mozzie is clearly hopelessly in love with Neal, who is utterly oblivious. *smacks Neal upside the head* Treat him better, you pretty jerk, you. He loves you!
Clearly, this is one of those shows where things need to be resolved via orgy.
The 4400
Trying to watch this one, but I haven't found a character I'm interested in yet. Still, I pushed on through the boring bits of White Collar, so I shall do this show the same service. Since it's kind of like Heroes, only without Tim Kring.
Leverage
DAMMIT, no new show until Thursday. *pouts* WANT MORE NOW, PLEASE. I already miss my cute, dysfunctional conmen family. :(
General comments
Since I've now bought three seasons worth of shows on iTunes in the last couple weeks, and am now going to have to buy Caprica, obviously... it's beginning to look like cable might not be such a bad investment after all... Plus, I'd get Animal Planet! :D I suppose I could price it out and see... but then, I like HAVING the episodes to rewatch, so there's some added value to the iTunes plan.
Also, I need ICONS, people. Many, many icons. For all of the above shows except maybe 4400, still reserving judgement there. But particularly for Leverage. <3
