Now showing

Another sunny day, another good day - it's almost scary how they seem to correlate one on one. It was t-shirt weather again, and I had planned on taking a nice walk to Capers and getting all my groceries from there - but Mikki skyped me so I ended up talking to him instead. And since I had to be home by twelve I just did a quick shop at Safeways.

Why did I have to be home by twelve, I hear you ask (honestly). Well, looks like the Buffy-fly has finally bitten me. I've always found Buffy the Vampire Slayer annoying and pretentious, and I never got it why some of my friends were so impressed by it. Last time I watched it at all was in the end of the sixth season, mainly because Buffy and Spike were having this totally hot relationship - but then the writers ruined it totally and I went off again. But now Space has been showing Buffy's sixth and seventh season (you guessed it, at noon) and I've started watching it again. So I admit it, it's not too shabby after all.

I've also been following Spike TV's reruns of Star Trek: Next Generation with much happy nostalgic feelings. That series has actually been better than I remembered it - or is it a sure sign that I'm getting old if for example Wesley doen't annoy me half as much as he used to. The whole series is much higher quality that a lot of series are "nowadays" - I don't think it jumped the shark until seventh season. Sixth season still contains some of my favourite episodes: Time's Arrow (time travel, of course), Chain of Command (what absolutely fantastic acting from Patrick Stewart), Tapestry (what ifs, love them) and Timescape (whodunnit/whahappen mystery). Shame then that the seventh season contains the biggest stinkers of them all.

And of course, the original Star Trek is always been shown on some channel, so I love to catch that for my favourite episodes. Funny, I can still quote most of Amok Time line by line. Ten points for first person who can finish this quote: "Live long and prosper, Spock" as said by legendary T'Pau in the said episode.

Me too, Re: TNG.

I was surprised to find that Wil Wheaton (who played Star Trek) actually is a blogger: http://www.wilwheaton.net/

I don't have time to check it, but if I remember correctly, Spock says something on the lines "I shall do neither, for I have killed my friend and my captain."

Do I get at least five points?
