Hello dead weekend livejournal! I have kind of invented a meme. Well, "invented" is probably a strong word, I'd be super surprised if something like this has never ever been done before. But it's a kind of um, experiment to see how much information we accidentally pick up from reading our friendslist, but that makes it sound lame, and I THINK IT WILL BE LULZY TOO.

ANYWAY: what I want you to do is name a show I don't watch (if you want me to list the things I do like I will, but I think most of you have a decent idea of what I'm into and if you don't it's pretty well outlined in my interests -- OH, except for Psych, that's... recent and I've now seen enough that it would be cheating) and I will try to describe it to you (looking things up is obviously cheating, it's a test to see what random things have been picked up).


I'm actually equally (almost more?) enthused about the idea of feeding people shows though, so if you're bored too you should totally play on your own.

WHY WAS BATTLESTAR TAKEN.

You should watch it, incidentally, because EVERYBODY should!

Ummmk let's see. MY LOVER BOSTON LEGAL. Also I am TOTALLY DOING THIS RIGHT NOW, so you should come throw fandoms at me. Brilliant.

DUDE SO I HAVE THIS TOTALLY IRRATIONAL SET OF REASONS FOR NOT WATCHING BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, which is a) I don't really like science fiction, b) when I do like science fiction I like it lulzy and not serious, c) Ronald D. Moore has said at some point it was a reaction to how Star Trek: Voyager should have been and like... Voyager is suuuuuuuuuuper lame but it is also my favorite thing so I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY LETTING IT BE MY SCIENCE FICTION SHOW.

Huh, most of what I know about Boston Legal is the cast: there's William Shatner and Candice Bergen. And they have law cases! And in the end, William Shatner gets gay married to that dude whose face I CAN SO CLEARLY SEE but whose name I do not know. Well, it might be Denny Crane but I actually think that's the Shatner character.

AND OKAY I WILL.

UM, THOSE TOTALLY ARE REALLY IRRATIONAL REASONS AND I DON'T LIKE THEM, and one day when you do finally bow to pressure and watch, you will beat yourself up for keeping it at arm's length for so long, and I am dead serious here. :( :( :( IT TRANSCENDS GENRE, SERIOUSLY. IT IS THE GREATEST SHOW. And there are hot people! You would love Kara so much, I bet. She's your blonde-type. AND OBVIOUSLY LEE.

Ahem. Anyway. Okay, you did well! Yeah, Shatner is Denny. And they're not actually gay; I wasn't sure if you thought that or not. They just take advantage of the fact that they legally can marry, but it's a friendship thing. And he's played by James Spader. BTW, if you're looking for lulzy, Boston Legal is SO IT (although it is not science fiction).

HAHAHAHAHA I KNOW THEY'RE TERRIBLE. And heeeeeeee, my blondes! You're right, I would probably love her. And isn't Lee supposed to be kind of whiny and an asshole? HE'S SO HOT THOUGH, I'D PROBABLY LOVE HIM ANYWAY. /SHALLOW

You know I totally meant to watch Boston Legal when it started but I only watched one episode and then just got lazy? And I honestly didn't know a lot about the gay marriage thing-- they didn't seem gay to me and I half thought it was a joke, but... I guess that makes sense.
