Status report...late winter TV
Feb. 2nd, 2008 11:27 amLOST: Uh, yeah. Awesome. Those music videos running during the S4 premiere were so fun, especially the Locke one set to CRAZY by Patsy Cline, HAH...ABC does fanvids. Kewl.
After my powerwatch of S3 last week - entire season in 5 days - I was a tad bleary eyed. But it was big fun. Love the Flash Forward idea - what a great way to reinvigorate the entire structure of the show. Is it just me, or does this show have a wicked lot in common with BSG? Also - I am officially a "Jater" bitches! That pop-up tidbit during the S3 finale rebroadcast on Wednesday was enlightening. *chuckle*
mediocrechick has posted something that I, too, am sure I am going to become completely obsessed with.
I also learned a new word this week: "Transmedia Storytelling." We needed this new name for something that can no longer be pigeonholed under old words "ARG," "Viral Marketing," or any of that. It is becoming (thanks to folks like Whedon, JJ Abrams et al) a new form of entertainment that is unlike any before it. Heh.
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS: I'm getting a little frantic as we are about to run out of episodes. Trying to stay calm.
PBS GREAT PERFORMANCES AUSTEN SERIES: Uneven...nevertheless, OF COURSE I'm watching it! Need to make sure I pimp my favorite older Austen adaptations to you folks: the 1995 version of PERSUASION. The 1995 version of SENSE AND SENSIBILITY. The 1999 version of MANSFIELD PARK. And do I really need to mention the Colin Firth & Jennifer Ehle version of PRIDE & PREJUDICE? Really? *g*
BREAKING BAD: Trying to stick with it. They almost lost me last week in the 2nd ep...putting such loser guys under a microscope is making me cringe. But I just cannot turn away from all the chemistry lessons! They are just...fascinating. Especially the one involving the bathtub (ewww).
IN TREATMENT: I have a full week's worth stored on the Tivo. Haven't had time yet. Is anyone out there watching? It's confirmed that Battlestar Galactica's Michelle Forbes will soon make an appearance, btw. See Mo Ryan for more on that.
