TV take two

After a week of new shows I have some updates of my early predictions.
The Mob doctor is losing me fast, I still just recording week to week. Zach Gilford's role isn't nearly big enough to overcome the rest of the show.

Revolution just tonight won a season pass spot on my DVR. The majority of what I've seen wasn't what did it, but the last scene in last week's episode has me hooked for a couple more episodes. Plus I have been listening to the podcast and that keeps me more involved than with other shows.

Ben and Kate- was fantastic. I laughed out loud so many, many times. Season pass, no regrets.

The Mindy Project- it was going to get a season pass no matter what, but I still liked it.

Revenge isn't new this year, however I managed to catch up with season one on netflix in a mere night. Season pass- at least until other DVR conflicts on Thursday push it to Hulu viewing.

We have already had our first showdown on the DVR. Thursday have traditionally been a horrible night for my TV, I pretty much DVR all of NBC's comedy block, I can't miss Vampire Diaries on CW, Glee just got moved to Thursday's this year, and Grey's Anatomy is something I want to record but am never able to. I also usually try to get It's always Sunny, and Archer on FX.

For the record even though all those shows aren't airing new episode yet, I had to let Grey's go, because Parks and Rec and The Office are too important to me.


So that is what I watched last week- along with Modern Family, the Middle, Fringe, Once upon a time, and Revenge. What have you been watching?

Showtime how many hours of productivity have you wasted for me?

If you have been following my tweets you may know that showtime has pretty constantly showing all three twilight movies back to back to back. It sucks me in every time. It like an addiction I can't seen to shake. Who else is getting sucked in?

And it is over...

It took 18 hours, but finally we are done. We only took 1 very brief break to get ice cream. Wow- WOW

And then Princess Leia proves she is also a BAMF

Han Solo (upon seeing a gun Leia was hiding): I love you

Leia: I know

Nice reversal

Tisk tisk, tiff tiff

Han and Leia are fighting, this makes me uncomfortable. Han don't be jealous of ugly Luke- he is her brother!

Don't worry we turned the light on

Things have perked up a bit, ewoks are out in full force and there are now approximately 3 new commercials playing every other break. BTW at this point in the movie last week, we completed spaced/slept until LOST- so now we are trying to perk up and take it all in.

things are getting sketchy

We are embarking on hour 17 of Star Wars. Things are getting sketchy here- Shea and I are now laughing uncontrollably- at everything. We have a memorized all the commercials Spike TV plays. But we are getting down to it.

I know this is controversial....

But as a child- Return of the Jedi was far and away my favorite of the star wars movies. (I get it, die hard fans pretty much pan it because of the ewoks, which naturally is what drew me to this movie as a child.) Now when asked I will tell you The Empire Strikes Back is my favorite. But I still have a special place in my heart for the ewoks, and all of the crazy anatics R2 and C3PO get into in this one.

And then Han Solo proves he is the biggest BAMF in the universe

Leia: "I love you"

Han: "I know"

Talk about self assured and cocky

Darth Vader is no longer a whiny little boy

I had forgotten we got to see a glimpse of Darth Vader's scared head in empire- it is pretty chilling. Plus lets be honest he has beyond the best theme music


Double Plus bonus he is no longer a whiny little twerp

Maybe it is about Chemistry

I take back my harsh words about awkward romances and George Lucas, I mean the Luke and Leia thing still skeives me out, but i am digging the Han and Leia tension in Empire

ewwwww

Have you ever had the problem where you cannot unlearn some information no matter how hard you try? When watching the Star Wars movies I can never un-learn the fact that Luke and Leia are brother and sister and thus whenever I watch A New Hope, or especially The Empire Strikes Back- I get grossed out. Remember when Luke and Leia kiss? yuck! Or the times in A New Hope, Luke talks about how pretty Leia is, in a not so brotherly way? The Kiss in Empire has just expel some shrieks and ewws from our apartment. How about you?

How come everyone is such a bad shot in the future?

It seems to me, everyone sucks at shooting in star wars. I feel like the waste a ton of ammunition- thank the force they have Luke and Han- they make up for the spotty shots of Leia and Chewy

P.S. more than half way through!

Hello beautiful

After a short break for some DQ- we are back- and Han is looking good!

A New Hope

Finally on to the original. It is like 100% better, maybe it is my memories or the jokes. But I love it! Plus we have dropped a Whiny/Crying Anakin for a more humorous Whiny Luke Skywalker

So ready for Han Solo....

Anakin I am tired of your whiny ways. I am beyond ready for a little Han Solo action and Chewy! Although Shea and I have voted our favorite character that appears in all six films is: R2-D2. We like the way he yells/screams.

Once again Anakin... if only you were a man...

Anakin is crying once again. He is about to turn all sorts of evil, once again. I wonder what would have happened if he had a real dad. P.S. did you know he doesn't have a Dad and was conceived ala immaculate conception? (this you learn in the 1st film, but I thought his mom was just lying to hide the shame)

Revenge of the Sith

Ohhh Ani- all that hate. On to episode III. By my count R2 is already at least 13 years old. Why is he is still functional? And why is Anakin so sensitive when people make fun of R2-D2? How come the robot technology has stopped moving forward in the last 13 years.

Anakin whiny or postal?

I am starting to believe the Skywalker's just have too much emotion to be effective Jedi. Maybe they need to breed with some of Spock's people to get control of that shit. Plus Anakin is very whiny. Man up kid!

Longer hair and beards a master in the making

So as it turns out I have completely forgotten the plot of this one as well. I guess bonus points for George Lucas: he made movies so forgettable I am able to re watch and be surprised again.

He must also have a thing for awkward love plots. Because it is getting awkward.
