Most of my friends have gone back to school now (I don't go back for another 2 weeks), so I've been watching a lot of TV. I started with Sons of Anarchy and al;ksfj omg I love it.
It took me a few episodes to get into it, but once I did, I was hooked. I love all the characters, which I wasn't expecting either. I was going to be like "These are my favorite characters" but then I couldn't stop listing them.

I adore the relationship between Gemma and Tara that's developed. They're definitely 2 of my absolute favorites. I also love Clay and Jax, Jax and Tara, and Gemma and Clay. The 4 of them and the kind of family that's developed between them is awesome.

I love everyone in the crew as well. Especially, for some reason, Juice and the Prospect. l;akjsf I so knew that Eddie was going to die when they were discussing what they thought about them and they were all basically like "Yeah, we like him." It was like "Why are they doing this? They would only be discussing this with no drama if.... alksjdfl;kja he's so dead isn't he?" boo.

I love that this show really isn't predictable. I expected the season 2 finale to deal with taking down Sobell and his right hand guy, and they were almost there, and then WHOA CURVEBALL JAX'S SON IS KIDNAPPED HOLY CRAP AND SOBELL GETS TO ESCAPE. I have no idea where this will go in season 3 (there will be a season 3, right?), but I can't wait to find out.

I don't really know what else to say about it, because my thoughts are pretty much just lk;ajds OMG LOVE. It really is a great show. I can't even describe it. It's so not my type of show, but I loved it so much. And it totally is Hamlet on Harleys. I'm waiting for them to reveal that Clay killed Jax's dad, or at least had a serious hand in it, because they've been hinting at there being something going on more than him just dying in a crash or even what Gemma was saying about suicide. Um, but yeah. This show is awesome.


After I finished Sons of Anarchy, I immediately dove into Criminal Minds. I wasn't expecting to get into it very much, and after the first few episodes I thought I would be watching primarily for Reid, but somewhere during the first season I got seriously hooked. Right now I'm in the 3rd season. I'm hoping to be done with the series by Sunday night, but I don't know if I'll be able to. Speaking of Sunday night, kal;dfjs CHUCK SEASON 3 PREMIERE IS SUNDAY NIGHT. I'm so excited. It's been way too long since last season.

My 21st birthday is this coming Thursday. I keep forgetting. I don't drink and have no interest in starting, so I'm not excited about it for that. I mean, I'm not like... dreading it, I'm just kind of apathetic about it.

Hi! That's totally cool, new friends are awesome! I know, I definitely haven't heard enough about Sons of Anarchy for how awesome it is. I only just saw something last fall, and I finally had time to watch it, and it really deserves more attention.

Tig is pretty awesome as well. Really, I love them all. I totally could not choose a least favorite (other than the obvious characters who are meant to be evil or bad or whatever, like Sobell).

if i were forced to choose a least favourite character, and i'm gonna get yelled at for this, it would have to be tara! i don't know why! she's gotten better in season two but omg in season one i sort of wanted to kill her. probably because i liked gemma too much! haha

I have really grown to love Tara (I mean, as I said, I love everyone), but I had a hard time getting a handle on her character in season 1, and I can see why you wouldn't like her then. One of my favorite things in season 2, though, was how Gemma and Tara grew closer. I really adore Gemma, she might be my favorite (although I have a really hard time choosing a favorite), so I love everything involving her.

definitely! i thought it was sweet at the end of season 2 when gemma told tara that she was happy she was with jax. she's grown on me. but still not my favourite!

i was sad about prospect's departure though! i read an interview with kurt sutter and apparently its because johnny lewis wasn't happy creatively in the role, so i understood a bit, but i still miss kip!

I was so sad about his departure, even though I saw it coming. I was hoping I was wrong, though. I didn't know that he wasn't happy in the role; that's too bad. I really loved his character. I can understand him wanting to leave if he wasn't happy, but it still sucks.

I've told [livejournal.com profile] likepinkvenom to add you cuz she too is obsessed with sons of anarchy! Everyone keeps saying how good it is, i want it to come on tv over here so i can see it!

And OMG yay for criminal minds, i'm seriously into that show, every episode is AMAZING!

It really is awesome! You should definitely check it out if you can. I don't think I've heard of anyone who's watched it and not liked it.

It is! I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I do, but I'm so hooked! I'm usually not very into procedurals, and in shows like this I usually don't find the cases very interesting, but here they're absolutely fascinating, and I'm really enjoying all the characters as well.

Chuck!!! Can't wait. :D

And hey, how'd you watch Sons of Anarchy? Rented it or? The only downloads I found are in 3-parts and the first part was taking 15 minutes to dl. Oi vey...

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/brokenrecord__/ 2010-01-10 08:16 am (UTC)(link)
I know! This season looks so exciting; I'm so looking forward to it.

I found downloads, but they weren't any better than what it sounds like you found. At least half of it was in 4-parts, some were in 2-parts, and some I think were in 1 part, and a lot of them took a long time. I can PM you the link to the comm if you want (everything in it is locked, but it has open membership).

Sure! I saw some 4-part downloads one time so it may be the same comm, but I'd appreciate the link anyway. :) Thanks!
