Ghosts 3.3

( Read more... )

The Hobbit has been cropping up a lot in my life recently, including this SNL Hobbit Office sketch. The blend of Middle Earth and the original The Office made me laugh, most of all Gollum as Gareth.

I didn’t know it was back until I turned to the Radio Times page for Monday and lo and behold, series 3 was airing that night!!!

And in between, I learned via YouTube that there’s an American remake now. As far as I can tell, they’ve mostly found younger, prettier actors and Robin is a Viking called Thor, but there are Native American characters. As for whether it’ll be the new The Office or the new every other British sitcom that’s gone over the pond… I hope the Ghosts team were well remunerated, at least.

As for the episode: ( Read more... )

There’s no getting around it, this Christmas is different, but some of the treats I’d planned for myself yesterday came off.

And there were TV Christmas specials.

Ghosts: The Ghost of Christmas (watched on Christmas Eve)

I capped off the night by watching the Community season 3 Christmas episode, and laughed at and enjoyed all the songs, although Baby Boomer Santa is probably my favourite. And then, because I have a new Blu-Ray player since the last time I watched season 3, I watched the episode where Annie and Abed have a fight in the Dreamatorium, and this time it did not skip at all, so that was happy-making. Also Abed-as-Troy’s speech about not getting Inception made me laugh the most. <3 Community.

BSG - end of season 1

I binged on Colonial Day, Kobol’s Last Gleaming (parts 1 and 2)

I’d told myself I was just going to watch the remaining episodes of the series that night, so I resisted finding out what happened next immediately and am savouring thinking things through. Some of the opinions stated above may have changed before I start watching season 2.

[Edited for typos on 15/01/23.]

Binged BSG by my standards, i.e. I watched three episodes in one night. So, that was You Can’t Go Home Again, Litmus and Six Degrees of Separation, which highlighted the similarities between them.

Ghosts 2.2. About Last Night

( Read more... )

I posted a ficlet! Old, Forgotten Things (Ghosts (TV) ensemble, gen. Summary: It’s hard to remember things when you’re trying to reunite your head with your body or when Thomas is being really annoying.) I drafted it when I saw the prompt, back in April, when I got the central idea. I’ve kept coming back to it, managing to bring in more and more of the ghosts (sorry, Robin!) Seeing on Saturday that the second series is airing tonight (yay! I may not watch it live but I will watch it) gave me the boost to stop dithering and edit it again with an eye to posting it.

Over the weekend, if one uses 'weekend' loosely, I posted Neither Here nor There (Gotham, future fic, Bruce/OFC, Bruce/Selina), which I wrote and edited alongside 'The Business of Walking', although I first started writing ‘Neither…’ later. ( Read more... )

I then posted two drabbles In Her Element (Sky High, Warren/Layla) and I Love You in MPH (ER, Neela/Ray). Both came to mind and were written quite soon after seeing the prompts. ( Read more... )

In the midst of all that, I came across a casting spoiler that ought to bump Gotham higher up the catch-up queue. But the only show I talk about here I've kept up with watching live is Ghosts, because it's on a Monday night and only thirtyish minutes long.

Ghosts 1.6 Getting Out

( spoilers )

Yesterday I posted The Business of Walking, (Gotham, post 4.22, Selina, teen) Summary: They told Selina she’d never walk again. 2,217 words. ( About that. )
