tarotgalJust watched the season finale of Dead Like Me- and I'm actually crying! It's odd to be crying about someone's death when they died 14 episodes ago and are still the main character. But there it is for ya. I really loved the first season.
Confession: I think I'm a Showtime girl :-) I could never admit this to my parents, you see, because they are into HBO. Not out of choice, but because they get it free because cable in Northern Virginia suckith much and the company gives it to people who still have those old boxes (like my parents) out of an apology for quality. My mother does not mind, because it's 4 free HBO channels! But Showtime... Showtime is so different for its original programming than HBO. I can never quite get into The Sopranos... and the Wire's good but not my kind of thing at all. And Six Feet Under is Brilliant but I just don't have that urge to try and catch up on it. Carnivale is neat, but weird. And K-Street is just confusing. And I feel like I missed the boat on Sex and the City. But Showtime... SO much different! In a way, the programs are softer, more friendly, and yet far edgier at the same time. And addictive. With characters... I love Six Feet Under's characters to death. But it's the whole combination with some of the Showtime series. Every little thing about Queer as Folk is amazing to me. And I adore Dead Like Me for it has such a uniqueness that I've really never seen before- and the ensemble is fantastic! And I suppose I could throw Stargate SG-1 in there. And Street Time... well, I've never seen it, but it's got Scott Cohen whom I ADORE to death, so it's got to be brilliant. All I'm saying is, I think I'm becomming a showtime girl... which is terrible because I have no way of getting it where I live, or mooching off anyone I know! So I am forced to go to illegal file-sharing sources, and then spend loads of money on the DVDs to eliviate my guilt. It's rather backwards, really. But there it is. I'm addicted to a channel I cannot watch.
Though, now that I think back, last year when I was home, my parents got Showtime for a week free as a promotion. And ohhh the movie possibilities doubled! It was spectacular. Plus, I got to watch a Queer Duck episode on tv! I met the guy whose show it is a few years ago (he writes for the Simpsons and showed an episode on the big screen in the lecture hall) and I've seen online episodes, but it's neat to think of his little internet baby being picked up and shown on Showtime- and I did get to see an episode. Anyway... I like Showtime. But I can't admit that to my parents, and I can't actually get the channel. *sigh*
Where is this going again? Oh yes... Dead Like Me. Good series. I like much much. I wonder if grim reapers can get sick...
