Gawd, I've been through so many Dvd's while trying to re-organise the place for comfortable painting.
Grateful that a Smallville season is so short. It's like a bad nightclub, going back every few months once self-convinced "it couldn't have been that bad surely", and being wrong. All that ropey dialogue, where the cast are given such insightful remarks in a mature perspective but preceded with "maybe" or closed with an "I guess". And the relationships, where undying love is the norm but folk are seemingly so devoid of trust that any misunderstanding leads to a rift. They certainly need someone to make an effort with consistency an all.
Still, I'm sure a couple months after season 9 is out I'll have forgotten.
Finally relented and let Star Wars back into my life. Hadn't watched any since the cinema releases of the prequels. This time round, least I was prepared for their shoddyness. But damn, those commentaries. Sure hope Lucas doesn't need a bowel movement, would be damn uncomfortable with all his staff crawling up there. Though he's probably giving contortionism a go he loves himself so much, praising his skills during the originals in being about this and that, then praising himself during the prequels about things that seem counter to what made the originals so good.
Made myself feel better with a Marvel medly - X-men series, FF duo, Spidey trilogy, Daredevil and felt obligated to finish with Elektra to get value for money out of it. Now returned to Babylon5. Already ready for the second season, so I have a prettier Delenn to look forward to, a commander that can do more than raise some bushy eyebrows.
