Caprica, Project Runway
Oct. 15th, 2010 10:09 pmAnother difficult work week finally draws to a close.
Watched tv tonight, was quite busy last night - so no time. My DVR is at 66% capacity again.
This is ridiculous. I have too many tv shows and no time to watch them. Oh, well at least two are ending next week - Mad Men (which I will miss) and Project Runway (which I really won't).
Project Runway surprised me. And not in a good way. EW called it a circus. True. And the only designers that interest me at all or I like are Mondo and Andy South.
( rant about Runway and spoilers, lots of spoilers )
Saw Caprica - and I can't decide who I feel more sorry for at this point, James Marsters or James Marsters fans? The man barely had a role. Although his makeup was better this week - hair darker, he looked younger not as old as he did last week. Maybe it's the lighting? He was somewhat interesting and good enough in the role- but his and Lacy's story felt a bit rushed, and underdeveloped. Also he was hardly on long enough for me to tell if he was good or not. All together his appearances on this show added up to half an episode. Reminded me a little of his guest gig on Without a Trace. He actually got more to do on both Smallville and Torchwood. Proof that being a professional actor is not easy. But I already knew that. Friends with quite a few frustrated professional actors in my lifetime - all of whom could act circles around some tv stars that shall remain nameless for the sake of your blood pressure and mine. ;-)

Best show watched tonight? Still Grey's Anatomy - everyone had something to do, the stories entwined nicely, along with the theme. My only quibble - the show is too noisy, I can barely hear the dialogue over both music and voice over and hospital sounds. Sound-editing and looping must be a nightmare. But they are doing a nice job with the Post Traumatic Stress arc and the interpersonal relationships. This season is turning out to be the best to date. And sigh, Cristina, my favorite female character on tv right now. Love her. Must find a Cristina icon. (It's nice to watch a few shows that do not contain violence (well outside of the finale episode of last season), rage, or serial killers. I've discovered that outside of Dexter, I can't watch tv shows about serial killers any longer or murder mysteries. I've gotten tired of seeing dead bodies on tv all the time. Gothic shows with vampires or monsters or science fiction tv show violence doesn't bug me that much. It's not as disturbing or painful to me. But criminal procedurals and violent cop shows? I just can't seem to watch any longer. I don't know why. Been trying to figure that one out for quite some time now.
Feeling icky. Going to take shower, then bed. Difficult week.
