Basically Books! discussion

This is when you can talk about your fave TV show!

I have a few, one is Merlin!!
Love merlin so much, and doctor who

I love Merlin! I liked Doctor Who when David Tennant was the Doctor.

A few of my favourites are Glee, Law and Order UK, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Top Gear, Being Human and the F1 and the BTCC when their on.

Yipeee, found someone who loves Merlin!! yipee!!

My favourite is The Sopranos.

It would seem fairly obvious since my favourite film is The Godfather. I like things like that! However, I wouldn't suggest watching it if you're sensitive to strong language, blood, murder, drug use and nudity.

Oh, now why doesn't that surprise me louise!! lol

Tara, you know me too well XD

Haha Yup I love a lot of sci fi and fantasy, I'm a bit of a geek lol

lol!!! I cannot wait till it comes back!

I know, me either!

Oh la, TV shows :p Now I follow quite a lot of them.

The Vampire Diaries (Ian Somerhalder is HOT)
Bones (getting bored with it now though :( )
House (also starting to get bored)
Fringe (adore this one - possibly my fave)
Nikita (my fave new release of the 2010-11 season)
Supernatural (cuz Dean and Castiel are just *drool*)
Dexter
Modern Family
Futurama
The IT Crowd (I laugh at this one so much it makes me throw up lol)
True Blood (not sure how I feel about this one)
Californication (more the bf's choice than mine, but still, it can be good at times)

As for ones that are now of the past... Buffy, Xena, Farscape, can't think of any others off the top of my head.
as well as a whole host of Brit comedies (eg Blackadder and Red Dwarf)

I watch Glee but I'm not sure why... I don't like the characters, I don't like what they do to the songs and I don't like the story lines : / Makes me question my sanity when I don't like it but still watch it religously.

omg, i watch vampire diaries, and supernatural!!

I love stefen form vd!!
I also love Dead and sam from supernatural!

OMG! I love Dexter. I got the books for Christmas (but I've only read the first one.)

And Xena, She was the best thing ever (needless to say my big brother preferred He-Man lol)

My brother has all of Red Dwarf and Blackadder on DVD.

Glee is my guilty pleasure. I do enjoy it. =)

I love Dean, I've been a fan of Jensen Ackles since I first discovered him in Dark Angel back was I was an impressionable teen! :p Sam doesn't attract me as much, couldn't say why. Might be the character as I don't like Sam as much as Dean.

I prefer Damon to Stefan in TVD. Stefan is very selfish in all his actions, everything he does has Elena as an ulteria motive. Damon is much more rounded. He's supposed to be evil but he's always the one saving the day while Stefan is busy being dense.

I've also only read the 1st Dexter book, though I want to read the others mostly because the newest one is called Dexter is Delicious and who can resist such a title?! lol.

Xena and Buffy are the ultimate tough girls who can look after themselves. I remember watching the first ever ep of Xena on channel 5 with my mum... we both watched it every week after that till we left England!

My boyfriend, despite being Dutch, adores both Red Dwarf and Blackadder. We have all series of both on DVD and rewatch them frequently. Some of the best of darker British comedy!!

So I might be the only one to have seen it so far, but how did we feel about the TVD season finale?

There are spoilers, look away if you have not watched this far yet!

Did you feel it lived up to the finale of season 1?
Season 1 had Katherine coming back, kissing Damon, getting invited into the house and chopping off John's fingers.
Season 2 was the return of lovers past. Interesting concept.

They said season 2 would explore Stefan's dark side, but having seen the finale I'm sure it's going to be in season 3. One word: Bloooooooooooood.

Also, it was the penulitmate ep, sure, but did anyone else cry when what happened to Aunt Jenna happened to Aunt Jenna?

i love TVD~!!!!

I take it you haven't seen the finale yet? :p

I wanna know whether Vicki and Anna are ghosts, or really back from the dead. Both were very good characters, I'm looking forward to getting them back. They killed off Vicki far too early in S1 in my opinion... the actress was pure excellence in the scenes where she's becoming a vamp and can't deal with it.

Plus, Damon and Elena kiss! I'm totally for Damon and Elena over Stefan and Elena.

no way!! stefan and elana!! deffo, so then i can have damon for myself!! lol :)

no i havent, its on next tuesday!! yey

We download all our stuff! Get it the next day. :p

Nah, Damon and Elena have much better chemistry!

Is that legal?

Nah, Damon, is better off with Katherine! they r both bad

and stefan and elena are good

If we own the original content, it is. I'm not 100% familiar with the laws regarding downloading here. It's legal atm but they're talking about making it illegal. No one is happy.

I liked Katherine at the start of S2, don't anymore. She's not good with anyone. In fact, I'm kinda hoping she dies next season as she's worn out her worth.

Also, Damon isn't bad. He's good, but struggling.
Stefan isn't good. He's bad, but struggling.
That's the whole idea behind the whole show. :p
You'll see when you see the finale.

And Elena is narcissitic and takes everything on her own shoulders. I came to dislike her this season, too.

My fave chars are Damon, Tyler, Caroline, Jeremy and Elijah atm.
I really liked Aunt Jenna, too. I'm so sad they wrote her out. Shoulda killed Katherine instead.
I was thinking I'd like Klaus, but he's just too bad for me.

Yeah klaus, i hate him
Elijah i now hate
Damon love
stefan love
elena, is abit wierd for me
and jermery is best
cnt be bothered to talk abotu the others

I still like Elijah. I'm interested in where they're going to go with him in S3. **SPOILER** He ends S2 in a coffin so I think they're going to focus on his past.

I hated Caroline in S1, but turning her into a vampire allowed her character to grow so much. She's very underused in some eps. Bonnie and Jeremy are underused too, but I'm not keen on Bonnie.

I don't like Stefan so much. I think it's because he's a boring character. He has no personality. Like, cardboard flat.

haha!!! why r u spoiling it!! :(

naaa im kidding!!

yeah ur right, bonnie, is abit you know, not as interesting.

stefan, i think, maybe is getting a bit to boring now! but he was good before!!

Lol, sorry. I am giving warnings!

I just like Elijah too much. :p If Elena's not going to be with Damon then she should be with him! He totally loved Katherine and I think that both he and Klaus loved the original girl (whose name we don't know - Katherine was the first doppelganger, Elena is the second).

I don't know where they went wrong with Bonnie because I was convinced in S1 that she should have been in every episode but I just cba with her now. Maybe they made her too OP.

Stefan's always been boring! His one interesting moment was when he was on human blood and went bad. It seems he can't control himself when he's on human blood, like an alcoholic. I hope they explore that a lot with S3. If they want me to like Stefan, they need to make him an interesting character for me.

haha!! yeah, maybe he should be bad!! lol :P

The bad boy is always more interesting than the quiet, brooding one. Just think Spike and Angel! Spike was far more interesting than Angel!

what was this is in?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer!! :P

It might have been a little bit before your time.

I started watching it in '98 on BBC2... you'd have been, what? 3 or 4 then? Much too young for Buffy! :P And you'd only have been 10 or so when the series ended, again a bit too young for it. It is good, though. I certainly enjoyed it in my teen years.

Ive heard of it, but never really wanted to watch it! lol

what other things do u watch on tv?

You've never heard of it?! You really should go watch it. Buffy's sacred duty is to kill the vampires and demons of the world, but then she has to juggle that with real life (first highschool, then uni, then a job). It was a very good series and presented a strong heroine that girls could look up to.

Atm I'm following (only American series here):
- Fringe (lovin' it)
- Nikita (really enjoyed it but the bf lost interest)
- Bones (not sure how I feel about this now)
- House (starting to get bored)
- TVD (obviously)
- Supernatural

Of the shorter ones there's Dexter (possibly my fave show), True Blood (bit explicit), Californication (I only off and on like this).

If you haven't watched it yet, I recommend Fringe. It just keeps getting better and better. It's like an updated, better, version of the X-Files.

Dexter is also fantastic and just gets better each year.

Ive wtached x-files! lol

And i watch supernatural, but i have to wait till it comes on dvd!

I've watched all X-Files except the very last season. They got too wrapped up in government conspiracy in the end. The first few seasons are very good, though.

I can sit and watch Supernatural all day doing nothing but watching the eps back to back :p And cooking, I guess, else we wouldn't eat. I've preferred S6 to S5.

i guess ur ahead on suernatural aswell!! lol

Will be getting S6 finale tomorrow ;) Assuming it's aired tonight. I didn't check. I'm at whatever point the Americans are at. It's coming to a showdown with Castiel! No Chuck this season, though. I wanna see more of Chuck.

OMG! I love BTVS! Spike is my favourite! XD Tara, you realy need to watch it.

I love Dexter as well. XD

Now just randomly (I'm not sure if it belongs here or in music lol) but is anyone else watching Eurovision tonight? I get so excited for it every year! =D

I do not know if im watching it! But i might!

tyler is hot , i will defffo agree on that!!

Matt's not been such an important character this season, though. But, I agree, he's a bit quiet and subdued and that leads to a character that you don't so much care about.

I watched S1 of PLL. I thought it was good but not excellent. It doesn't help that I don't really like Aria and she seems to be the most important of the four characters.

I'll still watch season 2, though.

tyler is fit, deffo!!

He is fit yes. Stefan just doesn't do it for me. Damon does though!

And, I'm not sure what, but Elijah's deffo got something, too!

tyler!! :) deffo!

This season they deffo laid ground work for vampire and werewolve love-time!

And they kinda wrote Matt out of that love triangle.

Damon.

I think I said it before, Damon's a much more interesting character. And he and Elena have much better chemistry.

STEFEN!!! :)

Matt will never be able to accept the other side to it all. He's too grounded in his human life. Which makes Tyler the better choice - by far the better choice.

Although things with Matt may become more interesting if the return of Vicki is not just in Jeremy's head!

I cried when she died!

I also cried when Vincent Nigel Murray died in Bones.

:( Sad death season for me.

Errrrm, people! im in uk!!

I will, on tuesday!! yey!!

And I'm in the Netherlands. If i wait for the TV I won't see most of the current series until next year. I'm not sure they even broadcast the CW series over here.

21:22 pm

lol
