I'm not really watching much live to air TV because the Free to air channels here are stuffing us around so much with repeats and changes in timeslots - but I have been re-watching SG1 (it is making a lot more sense this time around) from the beginning as I borrowed the series from a friend (& Michale Shanks and Christopher Judge are the first confirmed guests at Dragon*Con which I am attending this year!!) I am loving 'Supernatural' too!!

I have also been watching random favourite episodes of 'Buffy' & 'Angel' and the entire series of 'Black Books', as well as hopeing to get my hands on 'Veronica Mars' and 'Smallville' though I am going to be busy enough with SG1 & Supernatural for the time being...

Of shows currently in production, the one that I'm most obsessed with is Veronica Mars, followed by Lost and Heroes, and I'm wavering a bit on BSG. Sometimes its great, sometimes it crashes and burns.

I also like Studio 60, but it seems that Sorkin hasn't made up his mind what he wants to concentrate on, so it is also hit and miss.

Although it has been several months since I have watched Firefly, it is still my major obsession, definitely the best television I have ever seen.

Hey

Not to hi-jack my own thread, but tonight, on a new episode of THE OFFICE, there was a moment on that show that literally made me stop in my track and just pause to watch the complete awesomeness of this one scene that proves that the show doesn't just stand on the shoulders of giants. It's a giant itself.

It's this amazing scene that takes place after Pam finds out from Karen that Jim is OK with her renting a place that is two blocks from Jim's house, thus in effect moving in after about a month of dating. Cut to later, Pam is by herself in a hallway, crying her little heart out over this. And when you see Pam cry, it breaks your heart even more than when Kaylee gets all emotional over Simon. In comes Dwight who sees this. She coils up, he goes into defensive mode and is ready to kick ass over what he perceives to be a violation. He actually says "Who did this to you?!" She just dismisses this and goes back to crying. Dwight then comes over and takes off his suit jacket. You think he's going to drape it over her, but he ends up tying it around his waist, saying "It's hot in here." Still seeing Pam in pain, he takes out a hankercheif and hands it to her. She takes it, he goes over, sits down next to her and puts his arm around her to comfort her. And after a dramatic pause, hes breaks the silence by saying "You must be really PMSing." And Pam just nods her head and says "Yeah, that's it."

I love this simple scene so much. From that one long shot of her at the end of the hallway dwarfed by the walls of the hallway to the beats and the delivery. And it shows how Dwight can be both compassionate and an oblivious jerk at the same time. And that this show can combine both gust-busting laughs and heart-breaking moments at the same time.

First great TV moment of the year, and it's only Jan 4th.

I liked no shows like Firefly.

There were some movies I liked. I really liked the movie Casino Royale. When I went to see Casino Royale at the theatre, I was hoping to see an average James Bond movie. I saw Casino Royale and the movie far exceeded my expectations. The storyline in this James Bond movie was excellent. The acting in Casino Royale was excellent too. I was impressed with Daniel Craig's gritty and slightly dark portrayal of a 000 agent who was flawed in some ways still. The Bond girl of Vesper Lynd wasn't at all like the typical female characters in James Bond. I felt like watching this movie again straight after watching it.

Well, can't find another show quite like Firefly. But if anyone in for a good laugh. 30 Rock on NBC is hi-larious! Tina Fey writes for it. SNL like jokes. Alec Baldwin is very funny. Got to watch it.

Torchwood, and Farscape, up to I think the end of season two is on the TVLINKS website.
Edit: actually, it's more like middle season 2 for Farscape.
