trinityvixenThe problem with finishing TV shows at this time of year is that there are no more new episodes until fall, which sucks.
I mean, I still have five weeks on most of the shows currently on that I watch, but I'm more talking about TV shows on DVD. I get used to having them ASAP, so if I want to get through a season in, say, a week, I can. It's just that that makes waiting for the thing to come back on broadcast TV next to impossible to stand. I have no idea how I successfully survived watching the first season of Battlestar Galactica on DVD and sat through the weeks between episodes and months of hiatuses for another two (three!) seasons.
'Cause now I've finished Prison Break and it's like...okay, now what? Hi, normal season-ending cliffhanger! Hello the fact it's not even summer (no matter what the weather of late), let alone fall, and it's starting to get more depressing as I think that all the shows I watch will soon follow. I have Doctor Who and a couple of series on DVD through Netflix and borrowing, and that's it. I might actually have to go out and do stuff. Ick.
One thing I will say? Despite being THE MOST RIDICULOUS SHOW ON TELEVISION and being a crazy sausage-fest, Prison Break has one of my favorite girl characters ever. The chick who plays the doctor is super-awesome. Yes, she totally gets conned by the hot lead guy (dude, there are girls waiting on line for that privilege), but she totally sticks it in his craw later. She's smart, competant, flawed without being TWAGIC, and just awesome. I really like her. It helps that she and the lead guy have this crazy chemistry which isn't premised on flimsy rom-com antagonism. In terms on another show I watch? She's the Anti-Cameron (fuck you, Cameron!).
She's also really unconventionally pretty in this real-person way, so I girl-crush hard on her. It makes it harder to accept what I know fandom must be doing to her character.
Still haven't watched Heroes yet. Maybe tonight?
