Bunch of things

[alexandral]

LJ: I am really pleased with the speed LJ is working. EVERYTHING IS FLYING. I can't stop commenting and writing because finally LJ IS WORKING FAST FOR ME. I might take all my annoyed ranting back and wait for LJ to fix the issues with default comment title and other things because my main problem with it (speed and reliability) is fixed. EEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I still can't believe it and almost want to pinch myself: "Is this real? LJ is working so fast! And I haven't had an error in the last 48 hours, not even one!"

I did log a support request re: default comment title and spellchecker, though. I saw a LJ news post saying these things will be fixed. We will see.

Sherlock: A Scandal in Belgravia: I loved the episode until the ending happened. Irene was supposed to outsmart Holmes (in the original book series this is what happens) and I was not pleased that she did not. I am still not pleased.

Walking Dead: I have finished all available episodes of the season 2 and I am having a terrible imaginary crush on Daryl. He is like a version of Sandor Clegane with a crossbow. My open plea to the creators of the show: "Dear creators of Walking Dead! Please do not kill off Daryl anytime soon".

Anime: I am watching tons of anime at the moment. I would appreciate any recommendations!
My anime favourites, just few of them:

Monster (I haven't expected so much depth in anime)
Shiki (so scary it is good)
Ergo proxy (mind-bending and gorgeous)
Hellsing (really REALLY loved it)
Blood+
Trinity Blood (my favourite anime song)
Trigun and Cowboy beebob - great old-school anime.

Suits: I have finished 12 episodes of "Suits" in one day. I am still off on holidays. I enjoyed watching, but I didn't feel any depth to be honest and the love triangle part (and the way the character of Rachel was developed in the show) didn't feel right for me at all ..

Warehouse 13 is still lovely. Now they even have a DOG (I love dogs).

Ojakgyo Brothers: I have also watched 38 episodes of "Ojakgyo Brothers" in two days and I am crushing so much on Joo Won it hurts. Also - Uee is such a surprise, I really like her character.

I should stop commenting and posting excessively and do something else. :D

Ha! Just when I thought maybe we were not the meeting of true minds after all ... I have finished all available episodes of the season 2 and I am having a terrible imaginary crush on Daryl. He is like a version of Sandor Clegane with a crossbow. My open plea to the creators of the show: "Dear creators of Walking Dead! Please do not kill off Daryl anytime soon".


YES, Daryl is far and away my absolutely favorite character on the show, first of all because he is the only person who seems to act with both brain and conscience and secondly because he has that thing going with the snapping at anyone who think she might have a kind heart :P (Like Sandor, as you say, but thankfully I don't think Daryl has ever killed a small child and his horrible brother seems to have left his handsome face unburned :P) The actor said he was playing Daryl like an alleycat that simultaneously wants to be accepted and treated kindly and will also bite and hiss when people come to close. I love that description.

Hmmm, maybe since LJ is so blazing fast for you, you may make some icons :P

Lol, I promise not to rant about Mockingjay anymore. I am listening to "Vorkorsigan Saga" at the moment, and I am LOVING IT.

I love your description of Daryl and : yes, totally yes to everything.

I am very tempted to make some icons. Very tempted. I am not sure if I will, though, because I am back to work next week!

Also - did you say Breaking Bad is really good? I am really in a mood for a good Western show at the moment!

"Breaking Bad" is amazing - I would rank it up there with the top shows I've ever seen, and you know I wouldn't say that lightly. (It is somewhat gory and violent and has some very macabre scenes, so I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, but I don't think that this will bother you - it doesn't bother me.) The writing is exceptionally clever and the acting is fantastic. The lead, Bryan Cranston, is just perfect, and many of the other characters are like this too and there are some very, very funny parts (although the main story, that of a chemist who becomes a producer of methamphetamines because he was diagnosed with incurable cancer and doesn't want to leave his family destitue, is quite grim and sad.)

** off to find Breaking Bad *8 Sounds like a totally my thing!

I forgot to add that there is one more thing in that the plotting is so clever and complex that, like "The Wire", you have to pay attention even to details that don't necessarily seem significant at the time. I think you will like it. (It doesn't get a lot of fannish attention on LJ because of the lack of romance and romantic couples on the show, and at first it does seem like it's very male-focused, but the women are important and fascinating too. BTW, Sheriff Bullock's wife from "Deadwood" (Anna Gunn) plays the wife of Walter White, the main character. It took me a bit to get used to her not wearing long skirts!)
