OHMYGODWHATISTHIS?!
I don't know how I got here.
I am not good with computar.
Oh yes, it's been more than a little while since I've done this thing here. There were reasons. Little ones, big ones, weird ones. None good. Well, that's not true, there were some that may have been good but not worth quacking on about.
I am are here and I am are taking on another project. Because it gives me AIM. Or something. Whatever. Thing.
This project, which shall start directly, much like the 100 movies mostly involves me passively watching television then talking about it to...nobodyish. Nobody and you. You who is the most important person in the world to me! I love you!
I was going to find a book of 'best books' and read through them then talk about them to nobodyish ('cept you, baby) but I couldn't find a good one. So I'm back to reading Terry Pratchett. Win/win, really. Instead, I shall watch the entire run of The X-Files on DVD and babble on about those. 'Why?', I hear you asking, and the truth is I did a thing that I shouldn't have done–or at least did a thing before I should have done it–and now am the proud owner of The Complete Series box set. Which is sexy, but expensive. But not as expensive as it SHOULD HAVE been. So I want to get some very specific use out of it before it collects dust next to my Complete The Wire on a shelf to be pulled down every 4-6 months and run through again. Yeah. That. Unlike, say, my Complete Monty Python which has discs randomly pulled from it randomly. I like TV. Leave me alone.
So, here's the plan, which I reserve the right to break and leave unfulfilled: I'll marathon the series (plus movies) and write up random thoughts on each episode. I'm going to avoid out-and-out reviews (The AV Club is doing a good job at that. Though I'll lap them in terms of episodes done in no time) but will make sure to mention when an episode is just really really good and when one is ungodly bad.
I was actually halfway through the first season when it dawned on me to do this and finished it before I decided to go ahead with it, so I'll have some fast and furious posts for that up, then things'll slow down.
