shipperx | Jeez! When is October getting here?

Jeez! When is October getting here? I say that because I need the Farscape mini-series, because TV just sucks.

Okay, so maybe with it being summer and little on (other than the soft pornographic Nip/Tuck which actually is some outrageous fun -- come on, you had to giggle evilly over the three way with the hooker)... Anyway, I have taken to keeping tabs on soaps. And they suck. They so, so suck.

All My Children has given Ryan and Greenlee this sacchrine, saintly treatment that is nauseating! It reminds me of the bullshit with Buffy and Xander being right even when they were obnoxious, abusive and wrong. And, if that's my analogy, then I guess in some way poor Kendal is Spike (which would have so much more irony if SMG was still Kendal. Then again, if SMG was still Kendal I'd probably hate her rather than cringe at the godawful storyline they've got her in). And in the further destruction of poor Kendal who has been treated atrociously by that Jackass ex-fiance Ryan, and that sanctimonious stepford wife ex-friend Greenpea, spoilers are having her pull a gun on the nauseating twosome next week. Lord, spare me. Now I'm going to have to stop watching the show because I just have no patience with this crap.

At least Bianca's child will be returned to her soon. Took too damn long, but it's something other than the godawful triangle from hell with Kendal/Ry-ass/and Greenpea.

Speaking of babies... other news in the "soaps royally suck these days..." Okay, so Days of Our Lives murdered Jack last year. They brought him back a few months ago. But even in the whole "isle of the dead" stupidity... even the dead people in faux Salem thought Jack was dead! So he died, and... died again? Well, no, of course he wasn't dead. So he wandered around deliriously. Then Jennifer fell off a cliff... and it took him a solid week for Jack to get her off the cliff. So they were together for about a nanosecond (but not long enough for him to tell her that Patrick is a damn liar) and HE falls down a hole. But wait. She falls off a cliff AGAIN before he gets out of the hole. So thing Patrick -- PATRICK, mind you -- saves her clumsy, 11 months pregnant ass. . . and Jack has apparently completely disappeared. AGAIN. So what is now revealed in post -Olympic spoilers? Patrick delivers that 11 month baby. Jack is no where to be found. They made the character of Jack miss the whole damn pregnancy, then they make him miss his son's birth... and, hey, guess what? Aparently Jack is going to be assumed dead... AGAIN. Exactly how many freaking times can he be falsely presumed dead in ONE YEAR?! Three times is kinda excessive don't you think? (Then again Jennifer falling off three cliffs in the space of a month was pretty damn ridiculous too). I don't believe Matt is leaving the show... so put it all down to just godawful writing. This is just dumb.

On a happier note,

treacle_a has screencaps of the new Farscape trailer.

Oh, and my Season 3 Farscape DVDs came in!

And here's hoping that Lost turns out to be good because I so need a new show. (though I also enjoy Dead Zone, just very casually. . .and I sort of like What Not To Wear.)

(Although while reading another friend's LJ post regarding Spike, I feel like I'm so out of step with many in Spikedom. I'm NOT over Spike. I still love the character. Yeah, sure, his story often sucked, but I still love the character. I'm not to the point of letting him go. I'm still writing Spikefic -- no, I haven't posted anything in a while, but that doesn't mean I'm not writing it. I'm just trying to finish it before posting... although, by then, will anyone be left READING Spike-fic? I posted that it's weird because I love Farscape. But my satisfaction with what was ON screen in Farscape has left me with no real desire to read or write Farscape fic. It's my very DISASTISFACTION with what wasn't done with Spike that still leaves me with a desire to write Spikefic... that and another obsession hasn't arisen to take Spike's place. I'll have to fall in love with a character again in order to let this character go (not that I haven't fallen in love with Crichton and Aeryn... but because they are handled so well by the show, it's just not the same kind of motivation to "fix" it in fanfic that I've had with my other excursions into fanfic. My urge to fanfic always seems better fueled by disatisfaction than satisfaction. It's when I want something DIFFERENT than I was given that I seek out fanfic). So... with X-Files a dim memory, I'm with the Spike fandom until it dies dead... or I find a new obsession to take it's place. So, I'm writing fanfic for myself... there probably won't be anyone left reading Spikefic by the time I'm done. :(

New job: Going nicely. And, I get a 4 day weekend next week, because next Friday is my first "off Friday" (this company has me work late on M-H and then I get every other Friday off. Since next Friday coincides with labor day, it means I have Friday off then the following Monday off. So... sweet!)
