So I watched 2x01 of the Vampire Diaries yesterday, and an entire season of 'meh, I'll watch it because it comes on before SPN' just turned into a series recording on my DVR. >_>; UHOH.
/recorded Nikita too just for kicks, haven't watched it yet
Still have the last two episodes of Covert Affairs sitting on the DVR I need to clean of before SPN in HD takes up all the available space. Too many of those episodes shared title names with SPN and it amused me. "Houses of the Holy", "What is and Never Should Be" and "When the Levee Breaks".
I mean, I know. Zep and all, but it's really weird to me that ALL the titles of the first season of Covert Affairs were the names of Led Zeppelin songs. If there was any connection in the show I missed it, and the main char doesn't seem like someone who'd listen to them. Unlike, say, Dean.
Dunno, it was a show that had promise and didn't really live up to it. The main character was very much a Sue - she was OMIGOD so special the CIA plucked her right out of training camp and threw her into these OUTRAGEOUS situations that she handled (although sometimes just barely); all the guys were swooning over her (I think that there were at least three, not even including her long-lost love), there was a particular episode where she set out to do something seasoned vets couldn't and did it handily ... I dunno. It's kinda like my beef with Anna on SPN when she FIRST showed up - you pull out the Litmus test and the character fails it pretty big time. Every lead in a show is Sue-ish in some way, it helps people identify when them. But Annie Walker is just... bleh. Boring. Gimme more about Augie, hell give me more about the cop who keeps arresting her, the other agent who is interested in her, even her sister and her husband are more interesting to me! She's just a caricature in the worst sense.
In conclusion, unless the final two episodes seriously turn the series around, I'll be dropping it. IF it gets picked up for another season.
In other news, I'm really excited about Undercovers. It looks like an awesome show; the two leads are smokin', a show about a husband-and-wife spy team who are TOGETHER STILL? And still apparently totally in love? Awesome! (Also, did I mention neither of the lead characters is white? That's impressive; I really want to support this show - hopefully it doesn't suck plotwise, or that the characters are bland or boring.)
Okay I spent way too much time last night looking at Kenshin doujinshi ahhh. I totally slept in this morning - I have some stuff I wanna get done before noon, then I can relax the day away ~
