YEAH, I just didn't say anything because I wasn't that into it at the time and it's sort of weird to say like "HEY, YOU KNOW THAT SHOW YOU GUYS ARE INTO? YEAH, I'M NOT FEELING IT". But it was only the first three episodes (of Privileged) and I think I'm going to try again over Thanksgiving break, SO.
IDK I think I'm just paranoid though and have a tendency to interpret completely normal things as passive aggression. AHHHHHHHH, I totally get the same way! I THINK BECAUSE I FREQUENTLY FIND MYSELF IRRITATING TEN MINUTES AFTER I SAY SOMETHING, but I also think it's my own mental retribution for the fact that I do get passive-aggressive occasionally :( BUT KNOW THIS: I always enjoy your enthusiastic capslocking. TRUST.
I was all "WTF I HATE ALL THE THINGS ITS ABOUT WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO CONVINCE ME THAT I'LL LOVE IT." Eventually I learned my lesson -- that it was not only amazing and wonderful and perfect, but that I actually could relate to it in ways I never thought I was able to -- but I did that on my own AND SEE, THIS TOTALLY GOES AGAINST MY OWN ~STYLE~ OF RECOMMENDING THINGS, because I am all about the "you will love it" part? When I was fifteen my sis and I totally used to conspire to show our friends XF with these lists of episodes we'd pick out for each friend specifically (I think we only ever tried it out on three people between us, BUT IT WAS STILL FUN). And I also think that's the best way to get me into something-- not trumpeting "OMG THIS SHOW IS GREAT" but rather that aside of "I know what you like, Alex, AND I THINK YOU WILL LIKE THIS."
AND THEREIN LIES THE PROBLEM WITH THIS WHOLE THING-- if you want to make a big, giant pimptastic post, whatever you do, however you get people interested, you're turning a lot of other people off, because everyone has an entirely different set of buttons they don't want pushed. Erg.
RE: XF REWATCH-- I HAVE A SLIGHTLY BRILLIANT IDEA. You should totally totally stop at Requiem, aaaaand if you do eventually want to see 8 & 9 for whatever crazy reason, two years from now when you feel like rewatching from the beginning, start there. That way they can't leave a bitter taste in your mouth.
And you told me you were doing it but not that you'd started! UGH, THAT SOUNDS AWESOME. Did I tell you my mom got super into it? I'm going to have to buy season 2 on DVD so I can lend it to her.
