So last time I was talking about how much I liked NCIS: Los Angeles. And really, I hadn't thought it possible, but I think I just fell even more in love with the cast. It's mostly centered on Callen and Sam--and don't get me wrong, I love those two and their relationship--but the rest of their team is fantastic. Now normally in a show with a bunch of main characters there's at least one that I'm too crazy about. Not with NCIS: LA.

Yeah, in the beginning Nate bugged me and I was iffy on Kensi. But after the third episode I found I really do like those two as well. Nate's moment with Dom after the dead kid in the bathroom was really sweet. And I liked the scene between Nate and Eric when Eric's at his desk and Nate comes in and watches him watch the computer screen and says something about him being the kind of guy who presses the elevator button a bunch of times because he thinks it'll make it go faster. And I liked Kensi's "the first date is the last date" scene. She doesn't have much to do, but she's beautiful and so far not annoying, so I like her.

I think I like that cast way too much. But they're all so adorable and awesome, how can you *not* like them?

So besides my complete love and adoration for NCIS: LA, I started new shows. One of them was planned, Trauma, and the other was an accident, Glee.

I heard about Trauma during the summer and put it on my list without looking too hard at it (a show about paramedics, of course I'm in) and then a few weeks before it started I looked at the cast list. And I found out that Cliff Curtis was in it. I haven't actually seen most of his stuff, but I saw Push a while ago and I really liked it, and I loved his character Hook Waters (yeah, that was his name, what about it?), despite the fact that he only had a small role to play. So I was psyched about the show and hoping like hell it wouldn't disappoint. And I am frelling happy to say it was great! I love his character, Rabbit (what is with this guy and his weird names?) and I like most of the other cast as well.

It's funny, I hear people complaining that the show is just like Third Watch, well I've seen Third Watch and while yes, they are halfway about paramedics, they also have the cops and the firemen in the story. And then I go look at the TW boards and people are btching that TW is a ripoff of another show.

I had watched about ten/fifteen minutes of Glee about a week or two after it first aired on tv on the Hulu website. It didn't really grab my attention and I eventually abandoned it. But I was bored the other night and I finished the episode. It was interesting, something new (ie not another cop show) and it made me laugh, so I watched the second episode and the 3rd. I'm still behind, but I plan on catching up when I have time.

I have to admit I've pretty much given up on Heroes unless I'm bored or out of shows to watch. I barely finished the first episode, and then only skipped through to the scenes with Samuel. I like him, but I'm not sure I'll watch the show for him. I read a recap for the 2nd episode, and I'll probably only keep tabs on the show that way for now. I also have a confession to make. I didn't watch the 2nd episode of Dollhouse. I hadn't heard great things about it, and I just couldn't bring myself to watch, so I went and read a recap on televisionwithoutpity.com and it didn't impress me. I'm not sure if I'll be watching Dollhouse anymore either. I guess I'll see what happens.

Oh, right, how could I forget. I actually have another new show: Stargate Universe. Which was admittedly a show I was planning on staying away from. I saw cast photos and heard stuff about it and I really wasn't interested. But somehow, like always, I ended up watching the pilot episode. It wasn't great, and I have issues with some of the cast, but I liked it. Enough that I'll keep watching. I miss Stargate SG1/Atlantis, although I only really watched the last 2 season of SG1 for Cameron Mitchell (not a big fan of the show before then, and while RDA is funny, he's not the best).

I absolutely despise Rush's character on Universe, there's nothing redeemable about him. Besides him, I don't like that Wray chick (at least I think that's her name). Everyone else was either blah or likeable. Yes, Greer has issues, but so far he hasn't done anything to make me not like him. And he's kind of cute. I like Scott, and I like Young. Eli's awkward, but I appreciate his enthusiasm, despite the eye-rolling over his getting into the stargate program because of a video game (i mean, really? REALLY?). The woman, Tabatha, TJ, something like that, hasn't show a lot of personality, but I'm thinking I may end up not liking her. Chloe was annoying as hell, god what is with this show and their inability to write acceptable female characters? (especially when they have so many). I don't care if it sounds cruel or btchy, but I am so glad they killed her dad, he was terrible. Oh, and Lou Diamond Philips wasn't even really there. But I still didn't like him. You know what? Figuring out which characters I liked and didn't just made me realize that if this show isn't at least good, I can't watch, considering I hate about half the cast. Damn.

I believe that's all right now, besides still catching up on True Blood (yeah, I know, I'm slow, but I don't actually watch tv 24/7 or even all day).
