week roundup of tv


I’ve had a hell of a week so no time to blog, yo. Okay, not true. There’s just been a lot of stuff going on and I haven’t got around to blogging. I guess.

Anyway, just a little roundup. Have I mentioned the greatness that is Suits? Everyone should watch it! Everyone who’s studying law (hi me) should watch it! It’s so zanny and fun and quick and enjoyable to watch! I spent four or five days (with college and sleep, hello) finishing it up. I can’t wait till January now! Quick highlights from Suits:

  • Harvey and Mike. They’re both really fun to watch and easy on the eyes and stuff. And they have this amazing chemistry that makes their whole relationship so… enjoyable (to watch). Obviously people have relationships like that only on television because who the fuck can talk so fast, finish your sentences, and be witty, and quote every other movie under the sun?! Not me. I realize I stammer a lot and I have trouble finishing my sentences so that has to change and I will use the fine men of Suits as inspiration.
  • Donna! She’s so awesome. And I find a new couple to ship for life. Harvey and Donna! Totally. I got into an argument with a friend who’s convinced that Harvey should settle for someone “higher up”. I don’t even know what that means and he’s so fucking wrong because LOOK AT THEM. However, I’d strongly recommend them not getting together or doing that weird TV “I like you and you like me so we’re going to try this out oh look it’s not working out oops okay let’s move on but I still like you blah blah angst blah blah” dance. I really enjoy watching them right now. Super fun.
  • Louis! He’s like the biggest villain and yet, he’s not because he’s such a loser. Rick Hoffman is so good. I’m convinced there’s this poor soul underneath all that stuff and there is, mind you, except he does something really stupid and you end up losing all your respect for him.
  • Um, the suits. Men look so good in suits.
  • Rachel and Jessica. Women power ftw.

It does have its flaws like any other show (the cliffie in the season finale. Did they really think no one saw it coming? So clichéd and silly. Just move on, Rach and Mike! And what was Mike thinking? Idiot. But Harvey stoned! Highlight of the episode.).

So I’m very impressed with Suits so I’m going to give Boston Legal a try- another legal dramedy or whatever. After I’m done with Fringe and the Wire. I’ve just started with Fringe and it’s kind of frustrating how slowly the season is building up. I’ve heard it gets better so I’m going to give it a try. At least until the second season. And then there’s Wire, which I’ve heard a lot about, too, so let’s see. I hope it’s good.

I watched the trailer for the new American Horror Story season and I have a feeling I’m going to end up watching it. What I’m going to do, though, is wait for the season to air completely before starting to watch it because waiting each week for an episode is pure torture. I’m kind of disappointed they’re not retaining the entire old cast because I thought the whole cast was phenomenal but let’s see! Speaking of which, isn’t Evan Peters a complete dish?  
So that’s all with the TV watching I’ve accomplished in the last one week. I haven’t watched any movies lately but I’m definitely going to try watching something tomorrow. I haven’t read anything much either, with the exception of The Sleepwalkers, by J. Gabriel Gates. It was sufficiently creepy and weird but it kind of lost me halfway and then I just stopped caring too much. It was an interesting concept and premise, though. Anyway, I have college tomorrow and I’ve been supremely exhausted lately. I’ve got this problem: I want to stay awake all the time and I’m always sleepy so I end up being a zombie, especially in class. I’m going to bed now. It’s going to take me a minimum of seven hours of sleep to deal with college on a Sunday.
