dancing_crowthe thing about committing to a tv show, particularly one that is done and can be watched in huge chunks, is the enormous time it takes to accomplish it.
I mean, a book that is huge, and that I am savouring slowly, lasts 4 days at the most, and one I HAVE TO FINISH OMG is a day, sometimes a little over. And it can go into the kitchen to read while I poke supper, and carried upstairs, and read while Alice relaxes enough to fall asleep when she gets overwound.
I can watch stuff on the netbook, so I can carry it, but not into the kitchen, and not easily around the house - there is a certain level of set-up involved in shifting around. If it is only on DVD, then I have to either interest the rest of the family in it (The Adventures of Briscoe County Jr. worked pretty well) or interest some of the family in it (Due South has lost Alice, but retains Al and Aerin)
So I just spent two weeks of spare time finishing the 'splodey Muppets of Farscape, and digging up the final movie so I find out what REALLY happened at the end, and I kind of miss them. You know, like neighbors who used to be over at your house all the time but moved to Hawaii and are having a very different, distant, happy, busy life now? And my life is kind of flat and boring without them?
I did get a lot of new sock knitted watching the last season. And the movie. Which I woke up at 5:00 to watch because I couldn't sleep.
Maybe I should address myself to rewatching Babylon 5, because I haven't since it went off the air.
Maybe I'll just roll around in my free time.
