Weekend and Life on Mars

[teyla]

I'm back home from visiting wihluta over the weekend. That's why I was quiet and unspammy the last couple of days. I bet you all missed me! (or not ;)).

Weekend was fun; we watched a lot of shows and movies and cheated the people at the Cuban place we had dinner at Sunday night out of a salad. I made wihluta watch some X-Files, but she can't appreciate the finer points of that show. She made me watch MacGyver, which I can't really appreciate the finer points of. Lots of fun was had by all.

Oh, and I finally saw the Kill Bill movies. I always wanted to, but I never did until now.

And as I already informed you in my last post, I bought Life on Mars! This is exciting and out of character, because the only boxsets I own are X-Files s1, House s1 and s2, The Crow, and now Life on Mars s1. That might seem not like nothing at all, but I've only started buying these in September. Before then, I had none at all, and considering all the shows I've watched/am watching, it's not really a lot. My point is that I don't usually buy DVDs or boxsets. I've always considered them too expensive.

But I just had to buy the LoM box. A German store had the series one Life on Mars boxset. They had no Doctor Who, they had no Torchwood, they didn't even have Heroes. But they did have Life on Mars. For only 20E ($31/15GPB). So I bought it :D.

And ooohhh, it is such a shiny shiny show. I already checked Amazon for the series 2 boxsets, but I think I'll have to put one of my UK contacts up to buying it for me, because the cheap British sellers don't ship to Germany, and German Amazon wants three times what I paid for series 1.

THIS SHOW HAS MEN IN FLARED PANTS. IT CANNOT GET ANY MORE AWESOME THAN THAT.

Hah, I do love the x-files and I really like McGyver and I didn't heard anything about Life on Mars untill this entry. What is it? I mean, I don't have enough time to do and to watch what I want to do and to watch but, well I think ... maybe the time will come and I've finshed Dr. Who and want to watch anything else. Should I make a knot in my hanky to remember that there could be a show I want to watch in the far away future?

Definitely make a knot in your hankie. It's a show about a cop who gets run over by a car in 2006 and wakes up in 1973, where he's a DI with the local police department. And wears flared corduroy pants. BLACK ONES.

The cop is played by John Simm, who played the Master in the s3 finale of Doctor Who :D. And I'm using the Oh Shit icon because that's the only Life on Mars icon I have so far.

Life on Mars is awesome!!

[teyla]

It so is. I just watched season 2, and eeh. Awesome. It's a brilliant show, but you know, what makes me breathless with squee is actually that I know most songs in the soundtrack! Eeh! :D

Life on Mars, hooray! I still haven't finished the second series (mostly because I have the terrible habit of watching late at night and CREEPY DISSOCIATIVE STUFF SCARES ME, yes), but I love what I have seen. Your continued squee has encouraged me to start up again. Preferably when it's still light out. ;)

Oooh you must watch the second series! The finale, I mean. I loved it! I know many people in the fandom hated it, but I thought it was very shiny.

Hee, I LOVE creepy dissociative stuff. Especially when I'm alone and it's late at night and preferably storming outside. Creepy TV girl FTW! :D
