This and that

Ok, so far the new season of Dr. Who has been disappointing. Apparently, I'm missing the deep, dark meaning of these episodes :/ Capaldi is fine, but he mumbles his lines too much. Clara is suddenly super companion. And don't even get me started on the horrible, forced relationship with Danny, ugh (and I hated the guy who played Robin Hood).

The domestic/child abuse events in the NFL are sickening. I just have to keep thinking that there are hundreds of other NFL players who do not abuse their families, and actually do a lot of good things.

I stand by my prediction of a losing Steelers season.

Pitt is 3-0 though, so that's good :)

I was supposed to have plans today, but per usual, my family never followed through. I am really getting tired of that :/ So, I'll watch football and read today, I guess.

Work is fine. Still settling in, but so far so good.

Just found out that there are going to be several minor cast members (the boys) from A Christmas Story at the Steel City Con in December. This should be awesome, lol. I hope to get a group photo op, because that is my favorite Chrismas movie :D

And if you're still reading, is there anyone who needs SGA seasons 1-3 on DVD? I was given them by the lovely vecturist, but I got my series set back (long story) and would like to pass them along to someone who would appreciate them (for free!).

Looking forward to the new TV season, but I haven't seen any good new shows coming out. Anyone have a show they've heard good things about and can recommend (NO COMEDIES PLS)?

New shows: Forever & Selfie - oops, last one probably is considered a comedy...

[ailurophile6.livejournal.com]

Hmmm.. Forever sounds interesting and I do like Ioan Gruffud...I might give Selfie a try since Karen's in it, but I really don't do sitcoms.

Thanks!

Hmmm...new shows: Gotham, Forever, NCIS:New Orleans and How to Get Away with Murder. I'm so not into comedies, either. :-)

Are the SGA sets still available? I've only ever seen S4 & 5. Would love to see the beginning!

[ailurophile6.livejournal.com]

Gotham, NCIS NO (for Scott Bakula!) and Forever are on my list. I will look into How to Get Away with Murder, haven't heard of that one. Thanks!

Yes, the SGA DVDs are available. You can PM your address to me and I'll get to the post office sometime this week :)

NCIS: NOLA FTW! \0/ I am so excited to see Scott Bakula every week I can hardly stand it. :-) I'm a huge crime buff, so if you like shows like that, check out How to Get Away with Murder. Sounds like a good concept that has gotten the approval of several critics.

Yay! Thank you for the SGA sets! I'll PM you shortly. :-)

Just now got caught up with Who. Don't like Capaldi's interpretation of The Doctor, don't (never really have) like(d) Clara, and the episodes have been boring. Also, apparently the British treat their veterans almost as shitty as we do.

I don't know whether they'll be good or bad, but I'm planning on watching Gotham and possibly The Flash. I think there are a couple other shows, but I can't remember what they are now. NOT NCIS New Orleans. Sick of everything NO related (except the Saints because I love me some Brees) and can't stand Scott Bakula.

Yeah, I hate to even say I'm not enjoying Dr. Who, but I really miss 11.

I plan to give Gotham a try. Not sure about The Flash; I will probably watch it but I'm not sure I'll like it any more than I like Arrow (which I'm only watching again for Nykl and Barrowman, lol)

I'm actually watching the Pirate game because there is nothing on tonight, lol. They're winning 9-1! IDK if they're good or the other team sucks :)
