Life: evil Russian Roman

[alexandral]

I have caught up on "Life" viewing!!!! I can't stop but noticing, however, that for some current shows the current season can be named "Evil Russians are coming to get you":

1. "Spooks"/"MI5" - Russians aim to explode a nuclear bomb in the middle of London. I liked "Spooks" in the past for the fact that the show always tried to stay balanced and not to look for an outside enemy to make a scarecrow from. It seems that this has changed , sadly.

2. "Life" - it seems that this season can be classified as evil Russian Roman vs good American Charlie. My prediction is that we will find out eventually that Roman is the driving force behind everything, even Charlie's imprisonment and all the FBI and Police guys - they just were forced into it!

And I liked the typical "music-fan" dialogue bits between the characters. And the attempts to give Dani a nickname. I smiled a lot in that episode.

I loved the nickname part. I hope this comes back - it so suits Dani!! Doc!!!!

The additional funny thing for me was that we have a guy at work who looks 100% like Al and who is also called Al. I was also glad that the dentist guy didn't happen to be a killer, as it is a usual cliche with dentists.

Unfortunately I've no idea how far in advance those TV episodes are created.

I don't know too - remembering the strike it seems that may be a half of season? Judging from the present episodes it seems to be that Sarah is very slim yet!

Few other LJ friends watch "30 Rock", I might give it a chance!

And another funny thing was Ted teaching the prison inmates about economics and debt. Very timely. :)
I'm slightly confused. Who's Al? Is that Tidwell's first name?

So far Sarah's very slim indeed! I want to feed her. And care for her. And ... ;D

Since I know some of the shows you usually like to watch I'm not sure if you'll enjoy "30 Rock". It may depend on if you have the same weakness for woman wearing dark rimmed glasses (http://www.imdb.com/media/rm4048853248/nm0275486). ;D Or Alec Baldwin.
But you'll find out quickly if you like it or not. If it doesn't make you laugh after 2-3, maybe four episodes then you can stop because they are all relatively similar (I started with the second season, and it's the third season now). And it doesn't really matter where you start, there's only a minimal "story arc". Sometimes there are a few jokes that refer to earlier episodes but that's the exception. It's just a quick, fun 20 minutes to watch.

I loved this bit too!

No. :D Al was the name of the guy who was killing the lead singers, the homeless man. We have a guy who looks JUST LIKE THAT and he is so very talkative too, I wonder if he was a singer in his former life now. :D

I quite like Alec Baldwin, and any woman wearing glasses in a comrade to me. :D Decided - I am going to give this a try!


Also - I must add I am enjoying your "Dani shooting things" icon very much!

Also - I loved the jokes abut "President rang him", so timely too!!!!

Ah yes, of course! My bad. I have a mad memory. In that episode I wasn't able to keep the names of all the fake singers apart. :D But Al is clear, of course.
Since I don't think the show is broadcast in the UK I guess your colleague doesn't watch the show. But maybe you can ask him if he was a singer in an earlier life. :)

Thank you! I wish I could better animate icons but I think it's okay. :) I took some notes yesterday for some screencaps (from the evil Russian episode in December). But right now I don't want to make more "Life" icons (I already use so many).

I think we can agree that those were the funniest episodes in quite some time. :D

Hee, I might! At the moment he lives on his own with 4 computers that are in a network.

I want to learn to make animated icons - I know the basics of making them, but I laways wonder what tricks some people use to make them so .. smooth. But your icons rocks - some of my friends commented on loving it!
