This week I've been watching Mako Mermaids. DON'T JUDGE ME OMG.

I also had some TV to catch up on, so there was 2 eps of Teen Wolf and 2 eps of The Almighty Johnsons. There was also Dance Academy.

Stuff on my DVR will have to wait for the weekend.

What are some of your favourite "type" of characters?
I like bitchy characters with a heart of gold apparently :D I like badasses. I like competence. I like funny people
What themes turn you off a show?
I generally am not a big fan of historical drama. Or too gritty/dark shows.
What is one show that surprised you?
Spartacus! I am almost finished watching and its not only a gritty/dark historical drama but the violence is like 11/10 and i love it anyway, the storylines are so great.
Do you think an older show would be better or worse if it was remade this year?
I think that shows try a little too hard to be dark/angsty sometimes and some of the older supernatural shows wouldn't probably be as campy/light hearted now (buffy vs teen wolf maybe?)
However some shows would have GREATLY benefited by the good production values (farscape/buffy which are quite dark shows. think of the PLOTS BUT IN HD.)
What have you been watching this week? Orange is the new black, teen wolf, just caught up on continuum. Spartacus. That's it. :(

SPARTACUS <3

[timetobegin]

:D thanks for harrassing me til i watched it.

What are some of your favourite "type" of characters? I fall for the bad boys a lot and the really damaged ones...but I also love really good guys and the heroes...In conclusion: I don't really have a favorite type *lol*
What themes turn you off a show? I'm not big into crime procedurals. There are some that I watch and love like Castle and Elementary but they are usually not about the cases but more about the characters!
What is one show that surprised you? So many actually. One of the biggest surprises was definitely Friday Night Lights. I never was into football and all I knew were terms like 'touchdown' or 'quarterback' but then I was hooked from the pilot and realised that this show was about so much more than just football <3
Do you think an older show would be better or worse if it was remade this year? I think it really depends on how old the show is. Some of the more recent ones are probably too fresh in our memories but when it's like from 20 years ago then chances are not many of us have seen it and then a remake could be fun.
What have you been watching this week? Royal Pains, Orange is the new black, Teen Wolf, The Fosters, So you think you can dance and Suits

[alorarose]

So what IS Orange is the new black?

I am soooo terribly behind on all the new tv. cept Crossing Lines. Effing LOVE that show.

[alorarose]

NOT AS BEHIND AS ME!

[timetobegin]

lol.
probably not.
i have 15 episodes in my to-watch folder from the last few weeks and after i finish spartacus, i'm starting voyager

[alorarose]

Omggggggg. While we were in Victoria the pilot ep of Voyager came on Space and it was SO WEIRD seeing it all not fuzzy, cause I hadn't seen it since it premiered on my super fuzzy UPN station. And everyone was SO YOUNG AND I WAS FLAILING!

[timetobegin]

:D

[timetobegin]

[alorarose]

Though Vermont is very pretty in the summer, LOL. I'm totally over nature right now though, haha cept i was looking forward to that ferry ride what with the 40,000 bug bites i have all over my legs. damn you canada.

What are some of your favourite "type" of characters? I like anti-heroes like Han Solo, Malcolm Reynolds, Beka Valentine quite a bit. I also like characters who have special destinies only to tell said special destiny to go suck an egg, like Kara Thrace and Sam Winchester
What themes turn you off a show? sitcoms, internal strife
What is one show that surprised you? mmm... BSG was more epic than I expected it to be? IDK what surprised me.
Do you think an older show would be better or worse if it was remade this year? Andromeda remake! I don't think it could be made worse. IDGAF just put something is space.
What have you been watching this week? Falling Skies, Teen Wolf, The Bridge, Stargate SG-1 season 8
A gif or something
some meta on HUNTING and Teen Wolf and Supernatural and FAMILY VALUES that some folks might find interesting.

[colls]

it's a netflix show

[malicat]

Uh,I suck at explaining these kind of things.Anyone wanna help me out here? *lol*

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_Is_the_New_Black

[alorarose]

Oh that show! Gotcha. Is it worth the watch? It looked interesting.

[alorarose]

That is so unhelpful...

[timetobegin]

Its a show about a reasonably educated white women who goes to prison. no one cares much about her cos she makes stupid decisions, but there are a number of side-cast members (ok all of them) that are interesting in their prison adventures. its a drama-comedy with a little more drama because of the prison setting, and it has Kate Mulgrew in it.
very lady-heavy show and there are 13 episodes on netflix.

[colls]

FARSCAPE! That wasn't so old, but then I think - GOD THAT WAS SO LONG AGO
They should remake the X-files and make a man the skeptic and a female the believer
