Suddenly, I'm So Painfully Bored

[redbrunja]

 I'm in the last leg of my epic unpacking, room reorganizing, cleaning thing (all that's left to do is organize my papers and folders for the last quarter, deciding what should be recycled and what should be kept) and I am so. very. bored.

All is quiet on my flist.

Talk to me, please? About anything. Seriously, bring on the epic threads about fluffy kittens or fictional character's undergarments.

Actually, fictional character's underpants sounds like it could be a good meme.

I don't think I'm on your flist, sadly, but I am a total fan of Burn Notice. I was into from the very beginning.


Fights scenes + explosions + MacGuyver shit + badass female lead + lack of wangst = my being a fan.

Also explains my love of Fringe. Though instead of MacGuyver shit, it would have to be science fiction shit.

I love Fringe because it's completely insane and surreal, but I love Burn Notice because it' so very real and of this realm.

I'm actually currently watching and really enjoying Fringe.

I noticed your Fringe icons. Very cool.

How far into it are you? Got any favorite or OTPs yet?

I'm really liking Peter/Olivia so far. I think they have nice chemistry.

And I'd like Olivia/old boyfriend if I actually thought they were going to have him be evil.

(I just watched episode 8 - no spoilers please.)

Exactly. Probably one of the things that originally attracted me to Burn Notice was the fact that Michael EXPLAINS everything as he does it, he gives his logic behind his actions so everyone's familiar with the cunning. I also love that he lays out his plans ahead of time, so when the plan blows up in his face it makes me go, "Well...fuck. What's he gonna do now?"

Fringe...I haven't had a chance to watch it yet. But I was kind of afraid it would just be Another Bad Fox show. While there are definitely some shows I like from Fox (House, M.D. and Bones for example) I feel they've gotten too soap-opra-y in their last seasons. Although both you and Red seem to like it, so I'll probably give it a shot.

The best sci-fi show I've run into recently is Primeval, which is a British show that was recently picked up by the SciFi network. I like it quite a bit and I would eagerly recommend it to someone who likes Doctor Who or the happier episodes of Torchwood.
