don't be dull, be fannish

Karl Urban is so incredibly sexy... *_* And now we will be having him on our screens every week! *_* I hope this is a hit, I really, really, really hope so!

Also, since I plan to sample at least 5 shows this fall, I decided to delegate a few oldies to DVD. I already did it with Psych (haven't seen any eps from S7) and now it's time for Grimm, Person of Interest and Castle. I have seen 1 ep from Grimm's S2 and it didn't really grip me. With Person of Interest, I haven't even started S2 yet. Not that I'm not interested, my plate's just too full. And Castle... the last ep I saw was 509, if I'm not mistaken. I just can't be bothered to catch up. So, DVDs it will be. Amazon UK usually drops the price to around 12-13Ł within a year after the box set's release.

I mean, I'm up-to-date with exactly 2 shows: Hannibal and NCIS:LA. And I would also like to watch some of the box sets that I own, like Babylon 5, Star Trek: TOS, Star Trek: Enterprise, The X-Files, Stargate SG-1, Leverage, Starsky & Hutch, The Professionals... I own all these shows in their entirety and I still haven't watched the DVDs, for Christ's sake. Something must be done about that! Not to mention the SCORES of movies on DVD.

Because Maggie Lawson AKA Jules in Psych just got cast in ABC's new sitcom opposite James Caan: source.

Well, it's not unexpected. Dulé Hill said years ago that he wanted S7 to be his last. So we should consider the 8 ep long S8 pick-up a bonus. And we still have S7 to look forward to, starting Feb. 27. And they still haven't even started filming S8 which will probably air next year, so... Still 2 seasons and 24 episodes to come.

And I think... I think I'm okay with that. I like Psych but sometimes it's been too much already with Shawn's antics and more often than not he was being an ass, not funny. Besides, 8 seasons is a good run.

USA Network just renewed Psych for season 8. The number of episodes and whether the early renewal means that S8 will be its last is unknown. S7 premieres Feb. 27: source. Interesting. I still like the show but I wouldn't mind if S8 were its last.

Last week, SyFy pulled Haven's episode because it featured violence in a high school setting. Thus they had to postpone the season finale too because the show is heavily serialized and eps 12 and 13 are connected. Now, they will air both episodes back to back on Thurs. Jan. 17 8-10pm: source.

I still haven't caught up on Merlin - I plan to marathon the show once it's done next week - but ( my opinion on what will happen in the series finale, based on the promos! ) What do you think?

I needed to take a break from all the TVD angst, so Psych it was. I had 6 eps downloaded...

( 611 )

( 612 )

( 613 )

3 eps watched, 3 to go!

Hey, I really liked these 4 episodes. It felt like my show again, like it used to in S1 - Shawn was really funny and NOT an arrogant ass or plain stupid. Yes, he still is a big child but he definitely matured.

( Spoilers! )

My favorite ep was the one with the asylum! And my favorite quote?

Guest star: Well, butter my buns and call me a biscuit!

LOL!

601 was good but 602? The. Best. Ep. Ever! I LOL'd so hard I had tears in my eyes. Man, I lost faith this show could still get me so giggly!

( Spoilers! )

Also, last week, Psych's ratings topped both Covert Affairs and Burn Notice on USA Network!

I finally caught up on Psych. Well... *sigh*

( Dual Spires )

We'd Like to Thank the Academy, The Polarizing Express, Dead Bear Walking - do yourself a favor and skip them. Shawn. Is. An. ASS in those eps. Especially in the Academy ep, he's a real and incompetent asshole. The same goes for the Express ep where his stupidity almost cost the cops a case. And the Bear ep is simply embarrassing. If you want to keep on loving/liking Shawn, skip those episodes. I ffwded through them because they were pushing my squick embarrassment buttons just too hard.

Honestly? I'm not sure if I'll keep on watching this show. I mean, I really love the characters and their potential and some of the episodes are really awesome - the beginning of S5 was pretty much flawless - but when the show is bad, it's BAD with capital letters and it just hurts my poor little soul to see these characters so mutilated. I don't know...

( Bones: The Shallow in the Deep )

I'm dropping Bones from my regular viewing schedule. I guess I will still follow it, watch it in big chunks from time to time. Right now, I'm less than impressed with the show and the only character that holds my interest is Sweets. And that's kinda not enough.

But Psych? Psych was AWESOME! Man, I haven't had so much fun watching this show for eps and eps! Shawn was smart and funny but not ridiculous, Gus was actually worried about him and the episode was CLEVER! Please, dear writers, please! Don't screw it up again. PLEASE!

So, my TV schedule now looks like this:



Kinda poor, huh?

I decided to finally catch up on Psych since new eps start on Nov. 10th!

505, ( Shawn and Gus in Drag (Racing) )

506, ( Viagra Falls )

507, ( Ferry Tale )

Out of those three, I liked 507 best. Three eps down, two still to go!

And we're back to being painfully embarrassing *sigh*
