Uni may take up time...

But it doesn't stop me watching TV....

Ok, so I've been a bit quiet lately. But hey, nothing new there. Apparently since my house mate has started working 6 hours away, leaving me with the house to myself for 12 days out of 14, I've been watching a lot more TV. Or more to the point catching up on all the shows I'd been meaning to watch. So I decided to make a list of the shows I've watched in the past month or so. Why? I feel like it....


I mean there's the shows I watch as they're on....

Once Upon a Time - There's something about twisted fairy tales I adore. I think I'll blame Roald Dahl.
The Walking Dead - Yep, zombies.  
Castle - I think I half watch this because Nathan Fillion is just awesome :D
Bones - Well, when it's actually on. Though I keep flip-flopping about how I feel about this season anyway
How I Met Your Mother - Yep, I'm a sucker. 
The Big Bang Theory - See above.
Modern Family - This is just too much fun.
Fringe - There is NOTHING bad about this show. Except occasionally trying to keep track of which universe you're in.
Spartacus - What? Ok, the story is actually really good! The perve factor is just a really nice bonus.

Then there's the shows that might be a bit older but I've only recently got around to watching. 

Game of Thrones - Absolutely brilliant. 'Nuff said. Season 2 NOW would be nice.
Being Human - UK version. I actually seriously adored this.
Dead Like Me - I'm a little worried my house mate says I'm just like George. Still fun.
Life on Mars - Wish I'd watched this sooner. It's a brilliant show.
Miranda - Ridiculous but funny.
Secret Diary of a Call Girl - And in case I didn't already think Billie Piper was amazing... I saw this. Wow.
The IT Crowd - As a nerd who spent a lot of time helping friends with computer problems, this was fun.

So now comes the problem. Yes, I could spend more time doing uni work, but my brain can only handle so much before I have an urge to run into a wall at great speed. Right, I'm trying to decide what to watch next. I've got a pile of shows people have recommended or just given me and said "Watch". But I can't decide which next. So I'm open to opinions. My list....

Battlestar Galactica
Breaking Bad
Carnivale
Extras
Mad Dogs
Misfits
Sarah Conner Chronicles
Supernatural
The Office
The Vampire Diaries
Warehouse 13

I mean I could just go alphabetical, but where's the fun in that?
(And it's either find something to watch or attempt to get my PS2 working on the new-ish TV so I can play FFX again).

Battlestar Galactica is very gritty and dark. One of the characters has breast cancer and suffers the effects from cancer treatments. Just a warning in case that type of thing bothers you. Very worth skimming any of the political stuff for the very flawed characters.

I agree with the Vampire Diaries assessment. It is worth slogging through the teen angst. Love Damon! After a while Caroline won me over too.

Happy watching!

I don't mind gritty and dark. Sometimes it's a good thing. Actually I think I'm less fussed about any show as long as the characters are well written, interesting and believable (within context). Well, in this kind of show. I certainly don't expect realism in a comedy for example.

Thanks! :)
