TV Stuff and Film Meme

TV

Fiver are doing an action section each night with Burn Notice and Human Target. I plan on enjoying myself, mostly because Fiver is one of the channels I can get upstairs so even if my Nan would rather watch something else I can still catch up both of them.



Apparently some people are offended by one of the heroes being ex-IRA. Sadly I'm all out of outrage. I do, however, notice that there is a distinct lack of outrage that once again Lagos is portrayed as a hell-hole. I'm saying nothing about people's priorities.

I am mostly amused by the show. And driven mad by the fact that I recognise half the actors.

Also that Mrs. Westen must be a relative of mine, I refuse to believe more people suffer from having family like that. (It turns out that I have once again got Cagney and Lacey confused with each other.)



The Human Target pilot is already at two high pitched squeaks within the opening segment. I love this.

That is one of the best things about Christmas tv. The channels try to avoid showing anything new so you get whole series re-runs, which is great if you've not had a chance to see those series before.

The Sci-fi Channel (sorry, I can never remember how to spell the new name) are showing Legend of the Seeker. I like Zed, but my fondness for cranky wizards is well known. I also like the fight scenes, unlike a lot of fight scenes, they remember that people are 3D.

Someone else is showing Blood Ties :D

LOTS episode 4, probably

Um, due to events beyond my control, I suspect this will be another show I will end up watching out of order, if I get to watch it at all.



Well, at least its an interesting twist one the usual 'Luke, I am your father moment', although I have suspicions, deep, unpleasant suspicions based on how similar Richard and Darken Rahl look.

I feel like a lot of people miss the point with Fi and her IRA roots. Or rather, I find it hypocritical for people to bitch about Fi and give Michael a free pass, because exactly as Fi says: spies are just criminals with a government paycheque. I mean, I am BY FAR not excusing IRA actions or anything like that, but just that Michael is really really not squeaky clean, and if you're going to judge Fi, you better judge the whole damn lot of them.
