Aug. 3rd, 2009 12:18 pmWell, July's over. In July I watched 181 episodes of TV, 7 movies, and read 0 books (well, 0 books for the first time, which is what I count for books. I did reread the entire Harry Potter series). I'm surprised I watched that many movies; it didn't feel like I saw that many. It feels like I watched a lot more TV than that, though.
I finished all 5 seasons of Angel. I will probably write up my random thoughts about the show and post them, but I had to take a step back after the finale. The last half of season 5 hit me really hard, even though I was spoiled for everything that happened. I'm probably going to do a picspam of my favorite episodes and/or moments, too. I just wanted to take a break and detach myself a little from the show; I got a bit overinvested at the end.
My mom was in Minnesota over the weekend for the science fiction/fantasy writers' convention she goes to every year (since she is a sci fi/fantasy writer). Normally on the weekend I watch stuff with my parents (right now we're on Buffy Season 3; before that we were getting through HIMYM), but my dad and I didn't want to get further in Buffy without my mom, and my dad has been really wanting to see Dexter after hearing that it was really great from me and someone else, so we started season 1 of that instead. ( Spoilery for Dexter Season 1 )
We've only gotten through episode 8, so I'm really looking forward to watching the last 4 episodes again. And I'm curious as to what my mom will think about the show. I think I'll try to catch her up during the week so we can finish the season over the weekend with my dad.
I'm considering reading the Sookie Stackhouse books, but I'm afraid that the rest of the season of True Blood wouldn't be as fun being spoiled for whatever happens. =/ I read the first one after finishing the first season, but I don't know if I want to go any further. Has anyone who watches the show also read the books? Did reading the books detract from your enjoyment of the show? I wish I could know how closely the True Blood writers were planning on following stuff in the books for future seasons. I know they've already changed stuff, but I believe the major season plotlines are the same.
