Fandom crisis  
I've been a little quiet about current shows because I'm not watching them at the same rate as everyone else but am getting files sent through the post meaning that often I'm a few weeks behind everyone else. I'm wondering if maybe that's the reason why I'm less enthusiastic than I was about some shows.

For instance - yesterday morning I got a new disk (*hugs* [livejournal.com profile] thedothatgirl) which has T:SCC, Leverage, Dollhouse, Bones and Supernatural on it. Of all the shows there you would think SPN & Leverage would be tying for first place in screening order, right? As in, they're the ones I'm most keen to see. And you'd be half right.

Leverage? Is awesome. I could live without the whole Nate/Sophie thing but it's not that annoying and Parker? Totally makes up for it. (As do Eliot & Hardison just 'cause!).

Supernatural. Of all the episodes this season I have only watched Lazarus Rising more than once. And the two episodes sitting on my desk at home waiting for me to watch? Well... I'll get to them. I love the show, really, I do, but my passion for it is fading. I *love* Castiel though (and am wondering how much of that is down to [livejournal.com profile] nwhepcat's fic).

As it turns out the first thing I watched was Dollhouse. Which, I have to say, I'm really glad I had two episodes to watch because after the pilot? I might not have bothered. I like the second episode a lot more than the pilot, but it's still... not great. (And seriously, having Katya Kinski from Neighbours in it without an Australian accent is really bizarre.) (Speaking of Neighbours - what happened to Libby? One day I turn on and all's fine, next I turn on and there's a different person playing the part, has the original girl left? 'Cause me no like the new girl...) One thing I do get from Dollhouse is a helluva Dark Angel vibe. This Alpha thing? Is so Ben. I like it though, it's not a favourite show yet, but hell - Eliza. She's cool.

T:SCC - Now I get why my fic got zero comments. It was Jossed in the very next episode! Hee! I'm glad Riley is actually something more than just an annoying blonde girl, wish I could stop singing 'Goodbye Mister Mackenzie' off-key whenever I see Shirley Manson on screen, and really not liking This Jessie girl. But that's just 'cause it screws with my sick and twisted fascination with Derek/Cameron/Allison.

Bones it was the premier I watched (this morning actually!) and spotted a green shirt in the background which may or may not have been [livejournal.com profile] fresleyforever's (I think it was - I saw the picture on your journal when it first screened honey!) It's so long since I watched it that it took a while to get back into the 'feel' of the show, but it seemed a bit... lacking? Not sure why really.

So I'm catching up, still not there yet, but will be soon I hope. Thing is... I'm not feeling the squee any more. And that saddens me a little.

I miss my shows.

I love that JDM happens to be the header when I visit your journal (like the new layout btw)!

Can't comment on most of those, I'm up to date with Supernatural but to be honest I'm only really watching it out of habit and to look at the pretty, I've kind of fallen out with the show a bit. I'm not even going to Asylum!

Don't watch any of the others, but I still intend to start making my way through Bones at some point, I just never get round to it... Will possibly watch Leverage at some point too, but not making any promises!

I was never a fan of Katya Kinski, but I do know that original Libby got ill or something and so had to take time off, they replaced her with a new actress for a bit. She might be back by now in Australia though (I don't watch anymore so don't know, sorry!).

Dude. You? Will love Leverage - you really should give it a try.

I love that JDM picture I have on the banner - I just wish I could find a decent resolution copy of it rather than the one I do have which is scanned in from a magazine advert. Ah well... *g*

SPN - I watched the school episode last night so that's only one short of being caught up I think? Yeah... I'm a Dean girl through and through and I think at the moment I'm getting tired of Sam being a pissy bitch all the time. It's like the last three/four years growth have gone right out the window. But... I have hopes for it. It's good, it's just going through a difficult adolescence and Kripke needs to stop pandering to fen. 'Cause really? That's not cute anymore, it's just annoying.

I really took against Katya when she showed up on Neighbours, even stopped watching the show for a while around that time, and I'm trying hard to give her the benefit of the doubt in DH but... And that explains what happened to Libby! I hope the original actress comes back, the new one's alright but she's not Libby.

I will give it a try sometime, just probably not for a while once everything's settled down a bit. I know I'll love it, I just can't afford to start watching it and then lose 2 days catching up lol!

SPN - possibly? I've really kind of fallen out with it, but I think you are almost caught up. It's still a good programme, I just seem to have stopped caring about it as much - I'm still a Dean girl and everything though. I've read spoilers too, which probably shows I'm not that bothered! I'll get back into it though.

Understood - Leverage is kinda the show which you do get so caught into that you end up losing four hours watching episode after episode...

Luckily there's only 12 in this season so when things fo calm down it won't take too long to catch up.

SPN, I meant to say I'm not going to Asylum either this year and whilst I'm gutted about missing out on meeting an angel I'm more annoyed that I won't get a chance to catch up with my boy Jason this year. As for the love of the show? Well... not so much.
