Sci-Fi aired The Dresden Files almost completely out of order, so that didn't help the storyline any.
Oh no! I didn't know that. That's the old trick with Firefly - on first viewing I found it very surreal. As far as I know, SPACE aired the episodes in the right order.
I enjoyed it well enough, and ended up really appreciating Harry, but I have yet to fall for it in a big way.
This evening I got Sandi to show me the rest of the episode - the first, I believe - that she'd shown the beginning of at the meeting. I enjoyed it well enough but found it rather unspectacular, not quite disappointing but not impressive either. Pity.
I just couldn't work up an interest, and then I heard how it ended and that killed any interest I had in seeing it.
Oh? How did it end? (I believe we haven't seen the end of it yet in Canada; I think they're still showing first season here.)
everyone has shows that just put them off for inexplicable reasons.
Perhaps the sense of humour just doesn't mesh with mine? or something in the characters' body language? For some reason I find them all off-putting. It isn't one or two of the characters, which is normal enough, it's everyone. Something in the way it's directed, perhaps.
Loads of people on my flist are mad about Friday Night Lights,
I tried watching the pilot, and lasted about five minutes!
I think it may be one of those things that if it didn't hook you when it originally aired, you won't get it.
I never watched it when it originally aired, though a teen-aged girl I knew told me the details of every episode, so I had a good sense of the story. Never wanted to see it. Saw part of an episode a few months ago, thought it was hokey - everything I thought it was when I was avoiding watching it in the 1970s. (Or whenever it was.) I'm really a horrible snob when it comes to TV.
But I totally and absolutely love the new series.
That being said, it hasn't caught my fannish side the way Doctor Who has. I love watching BSG and I watch it mesmerized. Then I forget about it till the next episode. Doctor Who (as you see) stays with me and comes out in fanfic and eagerness to talk about it - it matters to me in a was BSG doesn't. I'm not sure what makes the difference. I'm not sure it matters. Isn't it wonderful that there are good TV shows on the air?
