HA! I actually managed to work a Darla quote into my title! I feel all proud of myself now
.
So, yeah I haven't blogged in months. Mainly cause of my exams and also I haven't really been in the blogging mood recently either but I felt like it tonight and blogged!
So yeah exams all over YAY! They weren't as completely awful as I thought but still sucked with all the studying. I'm not sure how well I did but I am hoping for a few A's as I really did study hard for some subjects and will be disappointed if I don't do well. And I really want an A in History because I learnt everything so, so, so well but I made a big mistake in a question that will cost me 6 marks at the very least, so I was all sad and dejected after that
. But French and Spanish went just amazingly well so that kinda cheered me up. Chemistry, let's just say it was an epic fail but MEH that bitca of a teacher is outta my life so I don't care! Soooo happy to be off for summer.
I have also been watching loads of TV recently which has been awesome!
Finished Veronica Mars. I was so sad it was over for days after, I just completely loved it all (though looking back Season 3 was not as good as the first 2 seasons) and can't remember loving a show this much since I started watching Buffy and Angel. I'll mostly miss Veronica, I seriously could just watch a show where she sits down and talks the whole episode, she is just too awesome. And I'll miss Keith and Logan and Wallace and Mac too
. Bleh I hope whoever cancelled it is.. not in serious pain.. but in like some small pain. The finale was just completely amazing, I know they didn't have time to answer all the questions but I was satisfied with it and the last shot with Veronica walking off in the rain was just so perfect.
Dexter Season 3 has really picked up from the slightly slow first 3/4 episodes and am completely loving it at the moment. Only 2 episodes to go, the last episode I seen was "Go Your Own Way" or something like that, wow Miguel Prado is manipulative and intelligent. And he got the Skinner to kidnap Dexter I was all
. I can't wait to see how it all turns out, I know it'll be good (Dexter rarely disappoints me). I am of course loving Rita this season, Julie is as amazing as ever and I'm happy that she's getting more scenes and I like her friendship with Syl (please can they keep Syl on next season?). The only thing I'm not liking is the Deb/Anton relationship, it just doesn't work for me at all! Think she is far better with her partner guy, Quinn I think he's called? I would rather she went out with him but overall I'm not too fussed.
Also rewatching Dollhouse as it airs in the UK, it works so much better as a 40 minute show, they had to cut down on 10 minutes I believe and the whole thing just feels more fast paced than before. I've actually liked most episodes more than when I first seen them (except Stage Fright and True Believer which I didn't like as much). And I seriously love Eliza the more I watch it, she is just sooo hot and I know some have problems with her acting but I actually think she is great and love Echo more than them all except Adelle (the boss lady). AND I converted my mum and sister to it and now they both watch it! My mum in unsure about it, though she was impressed with Man On The Street and my sister loves it, I think she likes it more than Buffy/Angel (she never loved them really I think). I'm actually surprised my sister loves it, thought she'd hate it but YAY for converting people to Whedon shows!
Speaking of Whedon shows, I started watching Firefly as well
. I thought I'd be disappointed cause I've heard so much good things but I really love it, halfway through it now and it's just so so so good! I love the whole idea of it and even though it's sci-fi, I love that it is all about people (Joss just does characters so well) and I love all the cast, especially Kaylee, Mal and Inara. I actually think Kaylee is one of my fave Joss characters (which is weird cause I didn't much like her in the pilot episodes), she's just so IDK.. sweet? She reminds me of Fred (but I think I love her more than Fred, though I do love Fred). Blah, Fox are evil for cancelling it but I'll forgive them cause they renewed Dollhouse.
Also started ANOTHER Buffy rewatch, why is it that it never gets old? I always get the urge to rewatch it every few months, it's like an addiction, I'm so pathetic
.
So yeah to sum up TV = awesome.
I went to see the new Transformers movie last night and omg it was SOOOOOOOOO BORING. The only good thing about it was Megan Fox, the rest I hated. I'm all for cool special effects but there's only so much explosions I can take. And it was far too long as well and the story sucked IMO. I wouldn't recommend it at all.
Hope everyone is well etc.
. Have a great week!

Another Yay! this time for Veronica Mars
I always liked Dexter S3 but I'm glad you're loving it now, I'm never really Deb's hugest fan but I do know what you mean about her and Anton, not the greatest. I just thought the Miguel storyline was awesome
I didn't realise they had to cut Dollhouse down over here, but it's always a good thing to convert more people to Whedon! Firefly was a surprise to me too, wasn't expecting to love it like I did... Kaylee is a super cute charatcer
Glad someone else wasn't that fussed with the Transformers movie, I didn't hate it but really didn't love it and everybody else seems to... was beginning to think it was just me
I agree, 40 minutes should be better, it was a little slow paced at times, great that you like it even more now. Cool you like Firefly.
Obviously I have never read your Blog before but I really enjoyed it. Glad your exams went well, you can relax and enjoy the summer now (and LOTS of tv watching!) Loved the Darla quote by the way. I agree, re-watching Buffy NEVER gets old but I tend to watch my favourite episodes more often than others, especially the ones centred around Faith, Willow, Xander and Giles. (And Darla and Fred were my absolute favourites in 'Angel', even though I didn't like the show itself very much.)
I've heard some pretty bad reviews of the new Transformers movie so I think I'll give it a miss!
Enjoy the re-runs!
Cheers,
Lady Lancaster
I'm actually glad that Dolllhouse will be back for another season, it's picking up and Sci-Fi UK will be airing Epitaph One on August 11th.
