The Lantern by the Drugstore

 

I follow a ridiculous number of tv series, so much so that I sometimes forget about one or other. Some series I follow religiously watching an episode as soon as its out, some I download but then leave them until I have more free time to catch up with them. And then there are series that have already finished or have been going on for a few seasons, which I suddenly discover. The whole post was prompted by the start of the 'summer' season, as April is going to see several new series' premiers, and is an attempt to sort them out in my brain a little. One should be organized with one's procrastination. XD

Watched the latest Good Wife episode. Gonna avoid the spoilers and just say THANK YOU WRITERS FOR GIVING US THIS ENDING. I mean the reason behind jury's verdict. 

Also. NCIS: LA latest episode: X-OVER plot bunny time, because my brain was looking at the baddie and going BAAL'S CLONE! XD

And on a related note. Though SGU is cancelled TPTB are saying that the whole franchise is not necessarily dead. So I was thinking about I'd love to see in case miraculously there would be another Stargate series. I would definitely want them to go back to the old format, because no matter how deep dramatic and different SGU was, it wasn't Stargate to me. It didn't have what i loved about the Stargate: The team. The adventure. The ability to be lighter despite the whole crap that happened etc. 

I'd love another team-centered series but with foreigners. Ideally SGC-based foreign team (since they had those, so it's canon), and not one county-nationality but a mixture. I wouldn't even mind if it was led by an American, but the rest should be as different as possible say a Russian, a Japanese and an Italian or Chinese, Indian and French. Also, there should be a laison character somebody who laises between Landry and all the foreigner-staffed teams in case there are problems/issues. Also even if there can't be cameos by the original casts there at least should be continuity in terms of mentioning of what the old SG 1 members and Atlantis members are up to/ their reactions to what is going on etc. And though I'd want the team to be heroic I don't necessarily want them to be THE HEROES i.e. yeah they get to be instrumental in saving the world but not in the way SG 1 was, sorta like Mitchell.

So yeah. I'm sad.

Now that Merlin's new season started (and can I just say, OMG! ), it is time for me to round up all the new seasons' start dates (at least for the series I watch). :D

Now, that I've (finally) got space for lots of pretty icons I actually thought about how many fandoms I have. And... WOW. x _ x And I've decided to write them all down. You can have a look under the cut. They are divided by medium (book, tv series, movie) and in those cases where the fandom spans more than one, I've put their names under the medium heading that 'started it all'!  (And I shan't even mention Russian language fandoms, well except one, which is available in English XD).

I'm sure I've missed some. *sigh*

UPD: I just realised I have three Agatha Christie's Poirot DVDs in duplicate. They are: 'Mysterious Affair at Styles', The Kidnapped Prime Minister/The Adventure of the Western Star', 'The Plymouth Express/Wasp's Nest' .  If any of you lovely people on my f-list want them, drop me a line, I can send them to you by post.

And the prize DVDs go to latin_cat
