TV in repeats

Well I was going to do a whole bunch of different intualetual posts on the quadruple bond, and the Republican politics, but then I realsied that what I really wanted to do was talk about fringe and other TV I watched, and damnit this is my blog so I can talk about what I feel like, and often I feel like talking about TV. I've also  unfortunatly as its non-ratings in the US and Aus TV just sucks, it was more of a catch up week for me, so here are some of the shows I'm currently catching up on

right well many of my US shows were in repeats which was highly annoying, so I started watching revenge, and I actually can't believe I liked it. I've been hearing about it all season, how its soapy goodness guilty pleasere, and usally I hate those shows, but I actually really liked revenge for some reason, and it got nominated for a golden globe, so its totally not all that bad right? It's a very interesting type of show, and a lot more episodic than one would expect, where as opposed to the case of the week type show, it has a revenge take down mission of the week, which I actually kinda liked, I also liked just how deranged and heartless Emily is, not to mention the seeming number of gun-wielding psycopaths that reisde in the Hamptons, speaking of, where exactly are the Hamptons? like I know its were really rich new york people go over the summer, but is it actually in new york? because its all beachy, and new york has sucky weather, anywho, suprisingly good show, that I think i'll be checking out for a while, esepcially if we go into repeats again

I've also been watching more of the X-files, and again trying to plow my way through SVU. I really like SVU, though sometimes its just too much. Ie SVU is about as episodic as it comes, I don't think they've ever done a 'previously on' or carried storylines across episodes, as opposed to most of the other very stand alone shows out there, that usally have a few moments in every episode that builds throgout the season to the finale, the finale in SVU is just a more dramatic episode, which is kinda good, because you know exactly what your up for, character driven drama, a case of the week, and some very good acting and filmaking, which is why this is the only offshot of the Law and Order Franchise that is still standing, but it does lack the OMG I have to come back next time factor, I mean you come back because its a great show, but it will always be a great show, there isn't a burning desire to find out what happens next, so I find that I watch SVU off an on when I'm in the mood, because 13 seasons, it seems like such a daunting task

I've also continued watching the X-files. Now I'm going to be frank, the only reason I'm watching this is Fringe, but it is actually very enjoyable. I'm only up to the first season, so at the moment its very episodic, very much like first season fringe, actually really like -1 season fringe, if you back tracked the tragjecotry of epsidodic to mythalone, but still very enjoyable, I'm going to post more on this later, but its actually very refreshing to watch a series in which everything is not ok, unlike most TV on the air today, where the good guys always catch the bad guys, and the end scene is usally a celbration that the world is a slightly better place, the end scene of the X-files is usally whatever got 'solved' unsolving itself, showing that there efforts were in vain, and really creepying you out a bit. I've heard that it gets more seralised and less predictable a bit later on, which I look forward to, but for now, although it hasnt hit the Must.Consume. Level yet, I'm really enjoying the X-files

I've been watching a bunch of other stuff which I'll no doubt talk about later, but for now, thats all I'm catching up on.
