My favorite TV show returns today with its fifth season and I can't wait to see it. I missed Lost so much because I love it so much.

I didn't get spoiled. The only thing I've seen so far are the titles of a few episodes and the promo pic. So I'm excited. I don't know if there will be additions to the cast but if there are, I get to add "5th season fave" to my list. My list is of course John Locke as absolute favorite, Desmond and Ben for seasons two and three, and Dan Faraday for season four. See a pattern? The weird guys. It's not restricted to real life, no, you get that in all parts of life with me.

So yeah, I'm excited as hell. I'm hoping to watch the first episode of the new season sometime this week although there's no way I'm going to watch the first two episodes back to back. That would mean watching more than I need to without processing the information I've gotten so far and therefore not spreading out the limited amount of episodes I have out as much as possible.

David Tennant, the Tenth Doctor, is MY Doctor. He wasn't the first one I saw (that was Chris Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor) but there was something that made me fall for the Tenth Doctor. There was just this magic thing about him. He was geekish, funny, sweet, handsome and his shoes and clothes were awesome. So, why, David, why, are you leaving the series? Okay, I get a short 2009 season but after that, I won't see my favorite Doctor again. He took the series and ran with it. He was why I loved watching it. His Doctor is just so awesome and he's regenerated a few years ago and doesn't have that many incarnations left which is enough of a reason to keep David Tennant for another ... forever?

Life on Mars is so fucking fantastic. I've watched the first episode some time ago but have gone back and rewathed it and am watching the second episode right now and I'm so incredibly impressed by it. I have both seasons and afterwards I'll try watching the US remake that's started airing this season. I have the first episode but I don't want to watch it before I know the original.

The writing is so interesting and different, like nothing I've seen before. You never know what's real and what itsn't and John Simm is amazing. I'd say that about the other actors as well but I don't know their names.

And I'm not a fan of police shit but this is a) totally different and b) totally awesome.

Es gibt Autoren, die ich nicht mag.
Es gibt Autoren, die ich aus Prinzip nicht lese.
Es gibt Autoren, von denen ich mich frage, wer das gut findet.

Ich lese weder Dan Brown, noch John Grisham oder ... da ist noch einer, aber ich vergesse seinen Namen immer. Ich habe anderthalb Bücher von Isabel Allende gelesen, bevor ich entschieden habe, dass es zu schrecklich ist, um sich Literatur jeglicher Art nennen zu dürfen. Ich habe nie Cecily van Zigesar gelesen und hatte wenig Respekt für sie, auch wenn sie meine Schwester zum Lesen gebracht hat.

Jetzt habe ich eine Autorin gefunden, deren Buch ich gerade lachend verschlinge, auch wenn ich mich manchmal mehrfach daran erinnern muss, dass das nicht FanFiction ist, was sie schreibt, sondern ein echtes Buch. Für mich fühlt es sich wie schlechte FanFiction an.

Eine Szene habe ich mehrfach lesen müssen, weil ich es mir einfach nicht vorstellen konnte und es so ein FanFiction-Konzept ist, dass es nicht mehr lustig ist. Doch, es war sehr lustig, auch wenn ich nicht weiß, ob ich die Szene wirklich fünfmal hätte lesen müssen, wenn ich nicht breit gewesen wäre und die ganze Nacht nicht geschlaften hätte.

In den letzten Jahren ist scheinbar ein neues beliebtes Genre entstanden, von dem ich erst mitbekommen habe als ich die erste Folge von True Blood gesehen habe, die mich aber so wenig interessiert hat, dass ich bezweifle, dass ich weiteres Interesse für die Serie aufbringen kann, obwohl es ein Alan Ball Projekt ist und Alan Ball ein Genie ist. (Wen wollte ich dazu zwingen mit mir American Beauty anzuschauen? Wahrscheinlich Vanessa).

Aber der Hit dieses Genres, in dem ein Mädchen sich in einen Vampir oder Werwolf oder was auch immer verliebt, scheint die Twilight-Serie von Stephenie Meyer zu sein, die ganz ehrlich so schlecht und lachhaft ist, dass es irgendwie schon wieder lustig ist, was wohl bedeutet, dass es nicht so schlimm ist wie Isabel Allende, weil man sich die gar nicht antun kann.

i lost my bottle of water. it is cursed. i#m also listeing to crankcast and i have no fuckiung idea who chris makepeace is. i love cc though.
i#m also watchinb weeds and i had a crazy lauging fit when marvin pointed out that he had lost 10lbs. and i laughed so hard and i was out of control.seriously. anyways, I kind of crashed the computer after that. i am enjoying the forth episode some because at least celia (boring celia though), doug (woah, he's a lot more stoned this season) and andy (i always love andy. and andy/nancy have always been on spot two of my very short weeds pairing list).
anyway, I love andy for being the best character since celia lost her spunk. and i swtill love conrad and have the sneaking suspicion that he will be in a scene this episode but he's not coming back and they are preparing esteban, the mayor, as a new love interest. i loved the scene of andy and nancy making out. i was surprised it wasn't guillermo though. i was also surprised to discover that guillermo díaz, the actor, is gay.
and the crankcast is kind of fucked up. listening to the podcast right now is kinda mindblowing. also, i#m starting to sneeze because i ate cheese. they are kinda building up the nancy/andy thing though. i liked the doug/celia affair but it got boring towards the end. now, celia is just a vunerable whiner and i don't really care about her.
silas is really hot this season. hot. and i like julie bowen, his love interest. she is jack's ex-wife sarah on lost and she's cool. I envision stella to look a bit like that with some Julie benz mixed in. but stella is fiercer.
and shane ... i  love that you can see that he was raised in a crazy family. he is smart but there is this very liberal thing about him. most kids would blush or worse if someone asked if your mother was a prostitute. shane is totally okay with everything. really pragmatic.
andy is always fun. i don't think i can say too much about him. he's jsut the guy who is really loyal to nancy and the kids and he sticks to them, no matter what, even though his schemes are kind of childish sometimes. and a total perv.

My Name Is Earl is hilarious. I'm amazed my it. I don't always like comedies but wow, My Name Is Earl is so awesome. The concept is so simple. A list of stuff Earl has to make up for. But it is so well-written and fun. It's enjoyable and I didn't expect it to be that enjoyable. It's fun ans I need fun stuff sometimes. No dark themes, no angst ... just fun.

I've started watching Oz because I like Harold Perrineau, J.K. Simmons, AAA and quite a few others of the actors that star in it and I heard so much about it. I knew it was set in a prison but that's all I knew. I've seen the first few episodes now and I'm blown away by how good it is. It's amazing.

None of the characters is really likable so I don't really sympathize with any of them but I am intrigued. J.K. Simmons who I love to death is incredible. He gives me the creeps and I love his storyline with Beecher for some sick reason I can't figure out. He is scary and I wouldn't want to get anywhere near me. When he burns that swastika into Beecher's ass in the first episode, I was totally shocked and couldn't believe that this was really happening because I don't think I have ever seen the theme of white supremacy explored on tv. I understand that it takes balls to write something like this and for an actor to portray it convincingly and it is fantastic.

I usually have problems with homophobia, supremacy of any kind, people trying to convert others and gangsters but I love how it is dealt with. When you first see Keane looking at Said, you know he is intrigued by the religion and you keep waiting for him to actually show interest in it and when he finally does and forsakes his gangster buddies, you feel kind of proud of him because it shows that he has grown as a character although you know that the Muslims aren't totally right themselves being homophobes but it feels right for the character and is very interesting as Jefferson Keane has a gay brother he protected earlier on and how he starts rejecting him for his new faith.

I had also expected for Harold Perrineau's part to be bigger seeing that he is the narrator and was surprised to discover that like Adawale Akinnuoye-Agbaje he is a background character and for some reason I like it. You don't get his story with him narrating it. Instead, you get the story of the other inmates with him as the all-knowing narrator which I enjoy quite a bit.

Groves, the cannibal, is a scary guy as well and I love how he decides to become a Catholic because they eat Jesus' flesh and drink his blood. And while he admits to having eaten his mother and planned to eat his dad for Thanksgiving and is okay with his cannibalism, not seeking redemption, there is a certain remorse over having killed his mother as he writes MOM on his hand.

It's also interesting that the character I hate most is the recurring governor who should be an okay guy who hasn't committed any atrocities while the inmates I can deal with.

The only thing I feel like I have to complain about: There is no way that hat would stick to Adawale Akinnuoye-Agbaje's head without falling off. NO WAY.

BROTHERS & SISTERS 103

- As if Kitty and Warren would have to do their make up themselves. Who are they trying to kid?

- Will there be a romance between Warren and Kitty? It has been hinted at in 101 and the scene has been recapped in this episode, but I have no idea.

- Kitty's make-up looks horrible.

- Warren is cute. He shouldn't cut his hair.

- Ha! Warren has asked Kitty out, but she is playing hard to get. Besides, I don't think it will move quickly if it moves at all, considering the fact that they have so different political views and how that seems to be so important on this show.

- Why is it so important that Warren drinks vodka?

- Nora is awesome, asking Kevin why he can't ever meet somone like Warren.

- Saul is lying to his sister? He is evil!

- I bet Nora will fall in love with the house.

- Sarah's daughter's name is Paige.
- Nora would surely like one of her kids to date Warren. Be it Kitty or Kevin.

- They are fighting over Canada now?

- Jonathan is back. He won't be there for long, anyway. She has dated him for five years. Why is he so jealous?

- Nora has just walked into Holly's house! Oh, shit.

- Nora looks so much better than Holly who is a cliche actress.

- Dad has a name? No fucking way. His name is Dad, not William!

- It is interesting how Nora seems to like Holly quite a bit after meeting her. So she kind of approves of Dad's choice. I guess she won't like Holly that much when she realizes she was Dad's mistress and that he liked that movie because she was in it.

- What I like though it that Dad didn't chose a young mistress but one who was about as old as Nora. Not that is it better for a woman to discover that her husband was having an affair with a woman her age. I think in that case it would actually be better for the girl to be younger but that's just my opinion.

- Heh. Nora just said what I typed earlier. "I don't care who dates him. It could be you, it could be Kevin, but someone in this family should be dating that man."

- It's interesting how nobody wants to go into the pool and the people closest to Dad haven't even realized why that is. And then realization dawns.

- "What we don't tell you could fill the library of Congress."

- What does "consolidating" mean?

- Justin knows more about the nice house in Silverlake than he is letting on but he is obviously worried about it and wants to keep the secret to himself. It's a burden he has shouldered because he was too curious and this is what he got for his curiosity.

- It's mean how Kitty thinks Justin is on drugs for telling her about Holly when he for once seems to be quite himself with no drugs in his body. And then Kitty believes it.

- Sarah committed her first mistake but I think it is understandble. She can't just come in and know about every deal that isn't even on paper.

- "I hate how men are driven by sex."

- Now Kitty is telling Warren lots of her little secrets. She hates insincerity.

- Okay, something that I absolutely love about this show: Kitty slowly realizes that the father she loved so much isn't the perfect man. She might be somewhat old for such a realization but better late than never. I know how much it hurts when you finally discover that not ever your parents are perfect, that they are human beings like the rest of us. It breaks your heart and you don't understand how it can feel so bad to discover this because you know that nobody is perfect, but you always wished that your parents would be the exception.

- They ara saying just what I want them to. "We don't love the people we love because they are perfect. We love the people we love because they are." Nice phrasing.

- Short dinner and sex. I knew it! But I bet that Warren hasn't told anybody about it, though.

- Gin  makes you sleep with people? I have to give it a try. I mean, she only had one drink, maybe two... She didn't act as if she had drunk at all.

- Isn't it nice to have a family business and zour siblings all knowing about your sex life when you had a one night stand. I think that when you are all grown up it is great to have many siblings you get along with.

- Kitty forgot about Jonathan?!!

- Republicans don't have one night stands? That's an interesting tid-bit.

- Jonathan told Kitty who told Sarah who went to Kevin who already knew )is that Kevin? I still have trouble telling him and Tommy apart because of their similar hair styles. Yes, it's Kevin.

- One night stand: Kitty told Sarah, Tommy figured it out, Sarah told Kevin. News spreads quickly.

- The gay guy is back?! He will be Kevin's love interest and has already made Sarah an ally I think. And he has obviously hinted at the fact that he is interested in Kevin.

- A Mexican bar mitzwah?! What the fuck?!!

- I guess this means the end of Kitty and Jonathan's relationship. At least someone goes for a swim in the pool now, even though it*s not voluntary.

- Oh, Jonathan is nice and wants to be with Kitty. Flattering. I hope he doesn't find out about Warren, though.

- Sarah's son's name is Coop.

- Ohhhh shit! But the looks on Kevin and Justin's faces was awesome when Nora came over to greet Holly. That's a really interesting plot point that I hope continues to blossom. I love the idea and Nora trying to set her up with Uncle Saul. Have I ever written anything about Uncle Saul before?

- So, all siblings know about Kitty and Warren and everyone but Tommy knows about Dad and Holly.

- Hello, Warren! Oh, that was awesome! The door bell rings while Kitty and Jonathan are talking about their relationship, Kitty opens the door, sees Warren, says "hey, Warren", closes the door before he has an opportunity to say anything and continues with the conversation as if nothing happened and Jonathan doesn't even get the chance to say anything, only reminding her when she has finished talking.

- Kitty is growing on me, probably because of the very emotional scene where she talks about her father because I have experienced the same thing even though it was more my mother who I had to discover wasn't perfect and I don't hold her up as high as I did in the past. And the Jonathan/Warren/Kitty plot is fun as well.

- Tommy and Sarah are the only ones of the siblings who have real trouble.

- Scotty is fun. They will so hook up!
Kevin: "My sister invited you to get back at me."
Scotty: "For what? Being so cute?"

- Scotty Wandell from Oxford, Mississippi, son of Wally and Bertha.

- Who is the actor who plays Warren? I could see him as Wes. Or Face.

- "We're not in the last ten minutes of a Julia Roberts movie." Great line!

- Kevin confides in Scotty. That's the hook-up formula of the Walker family. Kitty has gone all the way, Sarah obviously cares for Joel/Noel and now it's time for Scotty and Kevin.

- Kevin: "I've never mastered the art of being fathful."
Scotty: "That's too bad. But then you can*t be faithful to anything until you figure out why you should."

- Why are Kevin and Tommy wearing shirts and everything for a pool party?

- I wouldn't tell Nora about Holly. I want them to be friends.

- Scotty is in the kitchen while they discuss Dad's affair.

- Oh mz fucking non-existant entity! That was totally unexpected! That's great. Not the way they always do it. This is done differently. This show is different.

- Kitty stands by Nora's side.

- Nora is the only one who seems able to keep secrets in the house now that Dad is dead.

- Nora still wears her wedding band.

- Nora knows about Kitty and Warren as well. This is fun. There are no secrets in the family.

- Sarah: "I just hope that when you look at me you see someone who is more like my mother than like my father."
Joe: "I don't see either. I see the woman I love."
That are a few incredible line of dialogue and once again I know exactly how Sarah feels. I think I like this show so much because the kids are going through something I have experienced myself. The situations are totally different, but the feeling are exactly the same.

- Joe and Sarah are finally going to have sex.

- Tell him, Kitty. He is going to forgive her?

- "The 'us' that I saw today was so much better than the 'me' that I was last night."

- "I just lost you for ever, didn't I?"

- I found another reason for loving the show. The characters feel so real that it*s hard not to like them.

- Nora is a very reasonable woman. I love that. She isn't anrgy. She deals with things.

- "Easier To Lie" by Aqualung.

- What the hell are Justin and Fawn taking?

- Kevin likes Scotty's muffins.

- The episode will end with Nora jumping. I LOVE her character.

I have watched the first six episodes of Aliens in America and even though the format is very much the same in each episode with Justin disagreeing with Raja to then turn around and realize that Raja was right all along. But it is a lot of fun and I am enjoying it.
Additionally, I have seen episode 407 of Lost ("Ji Yeon") and it was INCREDIBLE. I wasn't sure if I would enjoy a Sun/Jin episode because I usually find them kind of boring compared to other's because I just don't get the conservative honor-crazed society and I don't give a shit about my honor. I don't think I have any honor and if I dishonored my family, so be it. I wouldn't mind. What I do, is not what my entire family does. Besides, I don't see how my family is very honorable anyway. But this episode was incredibly awesome and I had so much fun watching it.
I think I should be getting ready for a study session to prepare a report for economy class.

I just watched the season finale of Torchwood and it felt like the actual finale with everything that happened. I just don't see it continuing and that is kind of sad because while it didn't start out too good, it became something really great as it went on and really found its voice when sex stopped being the main subject and became one of the themes but not the only thing the series dealt with.

I can't find anything on this being Torchwood's final season and I hope it isn't although I can't see how it would continue. John could join the team but I just don't see that happening. Martha was a gueststar in season two and I could see her becoming a main character in season three. But I just don't know how it would go on.
