I've only just got around to watching Pollo Loco and oh my, he was such a baby then ...

Can't say much about the episode itself. Can't really say much about the whole show either except ... Jessica Alba was pretty awful ( my apologies to Jessica's fans ). My kids asked me what Dark Angel was all about and I couldn't answer them other than to say Jensen was in it ( cue for the inevitable eye-rolling from them ).

What was Dark Angel all about anyway? I've only seen two episodes so far, this one and Berrisford Agenda - Jensen playing the piano!! *epic flail* - have read about it here and there on my flist but I couldn't for the life of me say what it's about except that young!Jensen looked absolutely and totally pretty in it! Guh, that man is one huge distraction, and his lips v Jessica's lips, no competition there whatsoever!

What's Dark Angel about? Genetically engineered humans bred as soldiers that escape into a post trauma world. But honestly, who cares? It's silly and light and funny in places and... have a couple of glasses of wine, forget plot and enjoy.

Jessica Alba needs a slap in it, dogman is adorable and Jensen is so freaking gorgeous he puts 'puddle' and 'lady goo' together for me.

Your answer about DA to your kids was actually the most correct one. :D

I loved DA in its first season. Jessica was not a great actress (still isn't) but it fulfilled all of my requirements for a scifi drama. The only bright spot in Season 2 was our Alec. In S1, the X5's were indistinguishable from humans save for the bar code on their necks and their incredible abilities. Letting the mutants out in the world in S2 bordered on ridiculous.

And now you've got to tell me which Alec-centric episodes from season 2 I should watch, because I'm NOT going to watch the whole season :)

It's about Ben and Alec and Jensen, right? :DD

Btw, I've started on mawar hitam :DDDD

They were not actually robots, were they, which was what I thought initially. Then I thought they were soldiers with chips embedded in their brain or something but that's not it either?

What a sad, tragic life - genetically engineered to be soldiers ...

DUDE. Half-naked Alec in Fuhgeddaboutit. TOTALLY a must-see! :D

OT: My BP shot through the roof for some reason, just in time for that doctor's appointment on Monday. 127/91 today, too. UGH. :(

Which episode is that pretty please? ( what number I mean )

Yes, for your age, that's a bit worrying. Must be the stress of new work - new environment and all. Make sure you get enough rest, cut down on the salts and chips and red meat. Buy one of those automatic BP meters, take your own readings when you're at rest at home at least three times daily, jot down the readings along with the times when they're taken and show them to your doctor.

Unless that reading was taken at home?

2x15.

Yeah. I've never had a problem before. I am overweight but that's really the only problem I've been having. Blood sugar level fine, BP fine. I have been feeling pretty stressed out these days - tightness in my shoulders, headaches, etc. so I'm pretty sure it IS connected to work ~anxieties~ and stuff. *sigh*

It's a problem too because the only time I am free to take readings is at work, so I figure it tends to be worse then. Been meaning to get a meter for my parents so I'll probably get one now.

Best time to take your readings is lepas sembahyang. And yes! Do buy a meter!

Oh no no no no, SPN is a million times better than DA, judging from those two episodes that is!

Btw, have you seen this (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/20/arts/television/20hale.html?_r=4&ref=television)? That's pretty awesome, isn't it?

It makes about as much sense at times. I don't mind it, it's certainly waaaaaaaaay better than Smallville which I couldn't watch.

When I click your link I'm getting 'free access to the New York Times.' Is that what you meant?

EVERYTIME I see Dark Angel I think David Boreanz and just Angel! *headdesk* It probably is also because I haven't seen any of either so I don't register it a lot. Though really I should have alreayd seen both by now! David in Bones. GUH. And Michael (Logan) in Dark Angel. GUH.

Sorry...you said something about someone else? ;)

Gah. That was meant to be.

Already seen and David in Angel.

If you still couldn't see that page, here's an excerpt :

SUPERNATURAL (CW) It’s a tough call among this CW veteran, “Lost” and “True Blood” for the paranormal-drama slot, but “Supernatural” is currently among the wildest and most entertaining series in prime time. (It helps that Jensen Ackles and, to a lesser extent, Jared Padalecki have improved as actors over the show’s five seasons.) While the demon-hunting Winchester boys try to stop Lucifer, stave off the apocalypse and track down God (none of the angels know where he’s hiding), the writers out-meta “30 Rock,” sending the brothers to a “Supernatural” fan weekend and cleverly working into the show the Internet chatter about the duo’s unusual closeness

I initially thought Boreanz was in Dark Angel, too! Yup, confusing that with Angel, which I haven't seen either :)

Not confusing it with Charlie's Angels though ;)

Nope, apparently I have to log in to get access.

SPN is in the top 10 of shows??? I love it very, very *dearly,* (I would clasp it to my bosom if I had one) love J&J even more (I'll get a bosom if it means i can clasp them to it) but really? America must have really poor telly!

What??? what Crazy Chicken? Is that an episode title?

:D

Thank you!

I gave up on Lost - I got lost with the plot! I wonder how many million of times that's been said?

I like True Blood but I think that's mainly for the delicious accents and the sense of sultry heat. I actually asked on spnstoryfinders for any fics set in the deep south and got a paltry one. I'd write one but I know nothing about it an wouldn't get the speech right. Bugger.

Aha, but I think that SPN has improved by leaps and bounds!!

Yes, Pollo Loco is the Spanish for Crazy Chicken. :D

The acting most certainly has, both of them, although I still think Jensen is way ahead. Also most of the supporting cast - I can't think of a dud. It's great for what it is, bubblegum tv that shouldn't be analysed too closely or it unravels. I'm not complaining or criticising, I love what it is. It's fantastic light relief that doesn't make you think, perfect in it's way.

Charlie's Angel. Ha that's funny. Nope I didn't confuse it with that either. I've seen some of that though. ;)

Ber. agenda is a Alec centric episode like P.Loco.
But all the rest have many Alec scenes but he doesn't appear in every episode
