Feb. 10th, 2011 09:37 pmI've seen 'Community' crop up here and there on my flist. I asked A to download the pilot and episode 2. I'm a little underwhelmed, but shows can take time to find their stride. Does it get better, and if so, when?
Vampire Diaries continues to be fun. Damon is some fraction as much fun as Spike, yet I'm not emotionally invested in him so I can just enjoy the pending drama, and regular shirtlessness, as he goes off of the rails. A and I were comparing watching as it is produced with watching after the fact and being able to watch as many eps as one has time or desire for (as we did with all of Buffy, often watching into the small hours (I am ashamed)). A asked me if I would be concerned about spoilers if we saved VD episodes and watched them all at the end of the season. No! Spoilers are not an issue with Vampire Diaries. Think about it. Example: 'Elena and Damon burn up the screen with hawt, sweaty [completely illegal] sex.' This tells me nothing. It could have been a dream, a flashback, Elena's evil twin Katherine... Example: 'Elena and Stefan are quits!!' *pffft* I don't know from one episode to the next what is the status of those two. They're broken up 4EVRRR OMG, they're smooching and lovey, they're not broken up but they're pretending to hate each other... the list goes on and on; I don't try to keep track. The point: any spoiler regarding those two is only valid for approximately 20 minutes.
