First Live Journal Entry

[elgrey]

I've had this LJ for a little while now but have been too wussy/busy to get around to doing anything with it. But now that most of the fic I like seems to be posted to Live Journals before its archived, or isn't archived at all, I feel I have to take the plunge.

I'm in 'Six Feet Under' withdrawal after finishing S4 on DVD and now have to wait until next year for S5 to come out. On the upside I really enjoyed watching 'Dirty Pretty Things' tonight and am grateful to the Amazon rental service for all the films they've been sending that I haven't had to buy on DVD. Also impatiently awaiting S2 of Deadwood and Carnivale and looking forward to my Veronica Mars boxset to go from 'awaiting stock' on play.com to 'shipped'.

Thank you. :) You are mostly the reason why I've got a LJ as I feel bad about never being able to give anyone feedback. Your Watching (Wesley) Daily Journal simply rules. I noticed you had The Dead Zone as a current interest. I saw a terrific music vid for that a while back and was intrigued but didn't know enough about the show to buy it blind. I loved the original film with Christopher Walken, but I haven't been able to find many people who were watching the series. Can you tell me what it is about it that's got you hooked?

Hmm. A couple of things. The premise itself is interesting, and the execution of the premise is done in such a way that makes the characters involved feel real and human. I like the maturity of the series, with adult decisions and complications in the forefront. I also identify with Johnny's social difficulties, though his are externally enforced. The writing is intelligent and often inventive. All it needs now is a revved up fandom. :-)
