Supernatural 4x01+4x02

Yup, in the end I decided to go with S4, to get back into the apocalyptic storyline :)

4x01, Lazarus Rising: After the train wreck that was S3, the premiere of S4 was a pleasant surprise for me. I remember how disappointed I was by 3x01 (at least compared to 2x01), but this time, the show hit the ground running. Dean, Bobby, Sam, Castiel... Awesome! The episode rocked my socks like nobody's business, really. And I was glad to see that the show went back to its previous washed-out colors instead of the bright and colorful tone they chose for S3 (which was another thing that I intensely disliked about that season, the colors just didn't fit a horror show!)

4x02, Are You There, God? It's Me... Dean Winchester: I loved Sam and Dean talking about the existence of God and angels. I loved that Dean doubted everything, as usually. I loved that he asked the hard questions: If there's a God, why doesn't he give a crap about good people? It was really great. Also, the little chat between Dean and Meg - it showed how much the show progressed since S1: In S1 and S2, the guys tried to save the "meat suits" and exorcise the demons which is all good and fine when you encounter two, three demonic possesions a year - but when you literally swim in them? It's not that the guys don't care, it's just not realistically possible to exorcise every one of them when you're fighting a war and they are soldiers throwing themselves at you. You just hack and stab and shoot to survive. I think it's a nice development.

Oh, shows!

So, the results of my poll say that I mostly share these shows with you, my flist:

1. Supernatural (24)
2. NCIS (15)
3. Bones & The Mentalist tied (13)

I wonder what Numb3rs would have got if I hadn't forgot to add it! Hmpf! *head/desk*

And speaking of shows, I decided not to continue watching Merlin this season. S1 didn't do much for me, I belong to the handful of people who just don't see any slash in this show, and the fact that S2 starts in two weeks doesn't make me feel excited at all. Oh well, I have a ton of DVDs to watch anyway :P

White Collar casting news!

( Look who has been added as the show's regular! )

NCIS 1x01

As much as I adore SPN, I really needed to watch something lighter - and thus I popped in an NCIS DVD!

1x01, Yankee White: I watched it with the audio commentary done by Donald P. Bellisario. It's so much fun to hear him talk about the actors, how they got their roles etc. The best stories are about Michael Weatherly, Pauley Perrette and Mark Harmon, that's for sure. So many funny details, like he met with Michael in Australia and invited him to have dinner with the Bellisario family or that Pauley really wanted to be a forensic specialist or that Mark Harmon is a great dad and that most of the tools that Gibbs uses are actually Mark's...

I love this show so much. It's my comfort food! :)

Supernatural 4x03

4x03, In the Beginning: The audio commentary was so much fun. It's hilarious to listen to Kripke fanboy about his own show. It was quite interesting to hear about the writing process, about how it seems that they know what they are doing but they actually don't, that's why all the hints are so vague so they can use them however they want :P

You know, this episode, the beginning of the rift between Sam and Dean, it makes me so excited for the show to begin again. I hope that the boys will finally start healing and coming back together again. I mean, they started an apocalypse together, there's nothing that could bring them closer faster and stronger than the destruction of the world, after all ;P
