TV this and that.

[layne67]

Bones S3. I finally found out what happened to Zack ( dev_earl! ) What a shitty, shitty way to get rid of a character. I'd rather have a character killed off than that. Ugh.

Leverage S2. I haven't been following that for quite some time but I caught an episode last week, and I was like, Where's Sophie???? What happened to her? I like her! But she was there in the finale last night so I presume she's back in season 3? I hope so anyway!

And TWIN PEAKS!!! I love that show. I used to be obsessed by it the way I'm obsessed with Supernatural now. Watching it again brought back fond memories of those days of counting the days until Thursday. I was in uni back then, and we'd crowd into my friend's room, watching it from her small TV, or down at the lounge, ooh-ing and aah-ing as the story unfolded.

Good times ... *is nostalgic*

And even after all these years, Twin Peaks still manages to impress me. That haunting theme music omg!

Any fans of Twin Peaks here? Who were your favourite characters? What scene(s) would always be embedded in your mind?

I adored Donna Heyward. I shipped her and James like crazy. And I had a thing for Donna/Agent Cooper as well, but I think that was more because of Lara Fynn Boyle having a RL relationship with Kyle McLachlan then. But Donna/James omg!! Even now I still go weak-kneed to see them together.

And the one image that would always be crystal clear in my mind.



If you haven't watch the series, WATCH IT!!

I love "Bones" so much. A while back I watched all 4 seasons of it!

And Twin Peaks, that brings back memories. Some of the episodes were really scary, but oh so good.:)

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I started watching Bones season 2 ( the second half of it ) when the local TV network aired it. I love it so much that I started downloading season 5, so I ended up not really knowing what happened in seasons 3 and 4!

I'm currently watching season 4, and I can't wait for season 6 to begin!

I can't quite remember how Twin Peaks ended so re-watching it almost feels like watching it all anew. But it feels so good to see certain favourite scenes all over again! Guh, Lara Flynn Boyle was sooo pretty back then, and she had meat on her body :)

[rinnuninnu.livejournal.com]

I'm looking forward to season 6 of Bones too!

And I agree what you said about Lara Flynn Boyle.

[katikat.livejournal.com]

I really loved the sheriff. He was the only sane guy in the town XP

[layne67.livejournal.com]

He was in Danniele Steel's Family Album, wasn't he?

I enjoyed seeing a lot of familiar faces looking so young. Hee, The Reaper was Laura's father!

[i-o-r-h-a-e-l.livejournal.com]

I was so into Kyle at that time. :)

[suzy-74.livejournal.com]

WOHOOO!!! TWIN PEAKS FAN HERE!!! :D

Don't think I can pick one fav character. I did love Agent cooper. Adored the sheriff. He was just SO... normal compaired to... well everybody. *lol*

Oh. Blueberry pie!!! The pine trees. And definitely the music! Yeah, really loved that show. I can't remember the ending either though. Geez!

So yeah, my memory is hazy now but way back then I even entered a competition in a newspaper. I won. Prize a radio! :D

Like Bones a lot too. It may be next on my list of TV shows to get.

[rieyll.livejournal.com]

Re: Sophie on Leverage. The actress who plays her was pregnant, so they kinda had to write her character out temporarily (although she did show up now and again) and if you saw the season finale, you might notice there were no close up shots of her below the chest, she was heavily pregnant at the time.

But yes, she is back in Season 3, which is so awesome so far, by the way. :D

I'm enjoying watching the Bones reruns on Fox! Also, are you looking forward to the CSI trilogy as I am? Or have you watched it already? LOL

[casey28.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, Twin Peaks! I had a thing for Agent Cooper, omg. And I really liked the Audrey and Cooper storyline... one of my favorite scenes is when he rescued her. And yes, the music created the perfect atmosphere for the show.

[dev-earl.livejournal.com]

Spoiler alert re. Zack:

He'll come back a little in S4. ;)

[albeitslowly.livejournal.com]

Haha, Twin Peaks freaks me out. I haven't watched enough of it to know what really ended up happening. It used to come on the Chiller channel every day at a certain time, and since I slept with the t.v. on, I'd hear it in my sleep. OMG, creepy. I'll never forget the creepy midget dance, and there was a line that always cracks me up, something about being sterile and how that doesn't just mean really clean. LOL!

Also, there's a dude who works with me who's name is Jeff Palmer. I always ask him if he knows who killed Laura. He doesn't know what I'm talking about. :P

[weird-fin.livejournal.com]

Zack thing is sad. :( But it IS an original piece of writing...however much it hurts.

[ninjamidget66.livejournal.com]

Bones - I HATED what they did to Zack, but you have to admit it was one of the most powerful pieces of TV you've seen in a long time and I don't know about you - but I totally never saw it coming. And the interaction between Zack & Brennan was so touching I cried like a little baby.

Twin Peaks - I was a huge fan in the beginning, but they lost me around the time they brought in the dwarf and things got really bizarre. I just couldn't keep up with it and stopped watching though I did watch just enough to find out who killed Laura.

[essenceofmeanin.livejournal.com]

damn fine coffee -- and HOT!

i watched the hell out of this show in high school -- i don't remember a lot of it because we'd do marathons and i would fall asleep every few episodes. but the dwarf, holy crap, creepiest thing ever. that last scene, too -- with the sprinklers going off? sends chills down my spine even years later.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Agent Cooper would have LOVED the Winchester brothers!! And he and Dean could talk about coffee and pies!!

[i-o-r-h-a-e-l.livejournal.com]

Agent Cooper. Wow. :D

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I know. I just realized it myself!

Did you see Kyle in the movie 'Dune'?

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Ack, I was sooo jealous to see Cooper and Audrey together!!

Do you watch CSI:NY, Casey? Madchen Amick has a recurring role in it, and it's somewhat sad to see Shelly looking so much older and somewhat ... harder-looking ( though still pretty )

[layne67.livejournal.com]

So, in a way, it's good that they didn't kill him off because they could bring him back anytime! But still ... it's a little like Bobby being made to be the villain.

*pets Zack*

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, it was very original. They could have him transferred to another unit or something ( which would be totally lame of course ), but I can't help feeling that it was incredibly brave ( stupid? ) of them to do that to a beloved character. Zack was very much like the little brother, a very smart little brother of course!

[i-o-r-h-a-e-l.livejournal.com]

OF COURSE! :D

As usual, when I like an actor, I always try to get my hand on all of his/her work. :D

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I can't quite remember the ending either, so it's a bit like watching it anew, with familiar scenes and characters of course! I do remember the last few episodes getting weirder and weirder until the show got cancelled.

We had a tie-in competition, too! The show was sponsored by Benson & Hedges and there were all sorts of fantastic prizes but I didn't win anything unfortunately. Does your radio still work? Does it have Twin Peaks inscribed on it?

I've downloaded 24 season 1 but I haven't watched it yet. I know that once I start watching I won't be able to watch anything else and I need to watch Bones Season 4 and Twin Peaks now. God, my life is so wrapped around TV shows, I'm sure it's not that healthy!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

You should watch Twin Peaks again. That way we can squee at Special Agent Cooper together! :DD

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Aha, no wonder she looked ... big. I thought her face was a lot rounder and somewhat puffy-looking.

Argh, don't tempt me to download Leverage season 3! Though I am very curious as to how Nate's going to get out of that one.

When is the CSI trilogy? I saw the trailer but haven't been paying attention. I love CSI:NY but no so much the other 2. Is the trilogy going to be a back to back Vegas/NY/Miami kind of thing?

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I know that the show got weirder and weider as it got near its end but I can't quite remember what.

I bought the book 'The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer' LOL. And I'm pretty sure if fandom as we know it now existed back then, I'd be heavily involved in it. And there'd be Shelly!girls vs Donna!girls, or James!girls vs Bobby!girls lol.

The funny thing is, I didn't slash anybody from the show then. Not that I didn't do any slashing when I was at that age, I did, it's just TP didn't give off any gay vibe to me then. It was just Donna/James and Donna/Cooper for me.

But watching it again now, I'm kinda thinking the Sheriff and Agent Cooper are somewhat very ... cosy ... together :DDD

[i-o-r-h-a-e-l.livejournal.com]

Where is it playing? I don't have it here.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Zack looked so much like a little boy in the show, a sweet little boy that it was quite hard to comprehend that he was the apprentice. Poor Zack ...

It didn't even occur to me that they'd suspect anyone from the team at first and I was like, Hodgins? Cam? Zack????

Yes, the last quarter of Twin Peaks was a lot bizarre. I guess that was why the show got the axe :(

Do you remember the characters Josie Packard ( Joan Chen ) and Audrey ( Sherilyn Fenn )? I thought they were the embodiment of the term "sex kitten" - one a bit more mischievous than the other, but oh, so sexy!!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

damn fine coffee -- and HOT!

Something that Dean would totally have said! And oh, I do so want that on my coffee mug :D

The whole thing sent shivers down my spine, even when the scenes were not particularly scary, they were so well done!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Btw, I squeed a bit when I saw that the Vice President from 24 season 5 was Laura Palmer's father!

[rieyll.livejournal.com]

Argh, don't tempt me to download Leverage season 3!

*tempts you* :D But I suppose if you hadn't watched much of Season 2, it probably won't be as awesome.

And apparently the whole CSI trilogy thing is basically a crossover of all 3 CSIs! Not sure of how the episode is gonna play out but I can't wait!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

A crossover with all three in one show? Now that I have to watch. Go Mac!!!

When is it going to be, do you remember?

[rieyll.livejournal.com]

Can't remember the exact date, but I think some time end of this month. I think. Don't hold me to that!

[weird-fin.livejournal.com]

Yes, transferred/quit/died. It was both brave and definitely stupid (well, truthfully I don't know it hasn't affected it too badly...). Yes, the little brother of the family. *sigh* I hope they bring him back again.

[suzy-74.livejournal.com]

I think you refered to him earlier as the guy from Reaper and all I thought was nooo, he's Laura's father. Always will be! :D

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I've quite forgotten about him being Laura's father. He was so young then!

[suzy-74.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm not even sure I watched the ending anymore. I just can't remember it! Maybe it got too weird for me?!

Actually, I think all TV shows tends to get too... stretched/over the top... if the show lasts long. It's just, you never want a fav show to end no matter what!

Nah, that radio is long gone and it was an ordinary little radio. No logo or anything. :(

Let me know when you get to 24. I think you'll find it's different and yet just the same.

How many seasons exist on Bones btw? 6? I think we're at 6. Watching the re runs on TV now, S2... or maybe it's S3. Zack is still there anyway.

Since I got in to that 24 marathon I did last year I've been going over one or two TV shows one at the time, from start to finish on DVD. Marathon watching is fun! But no. probably not very healthy. *grins*

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Hee hee, no, Suzy, you're not at season 6 *g* For Bones I mean. The latest season is season 5. I can't wait for Season 6 to begin!

*sighs* How I wish that you could get into SPN ... Which season was it, the one that you said you tried to watch but couldn't manage to get into?

[suzy-74.livejournal.com]

Season 5 it must be then! :D

It was season 1. To be honest I guess I never really gave it a chance. I mean, it takes more than a couple of episodes to get truly into things doesn't it? And I watched maybe er, two. Maybe I was in a wrong mood or something?

Hmmm. Maybe my next TV show should be SPN then. Bones can wait cause I've already seen it. Maybe I should just try anew... Vacation is comming up after all and I'm sure the rain will follow as usual. I'd need something to watch as summer TV is a big nothing.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

You should start right from the beginning ie the pilot episode of season 1! But ... just bear in mind, SPN is kinda low-budget compared to shows like 24 or Lost or Bones ...

[suzy-74.livejournal.com]

I have no problem with low budget at all. Sure it helps if it's better of course, but it's the people or the stories that catch my fanzy if I like something. :)

I love SG1 for example and you really see a huge difference between the earlier and lasts seasons how they got better at the effects. But my fav will always be the earlier ones.

Sci-fi and similar shows always gets lower budgets on TV.

[ala-tariel.livejournal.com]

Uhm...what happened with Zack?

[layne67.livejournal.com]

It's very spoilery! Don't read further if you change your mind about knowing.

He became a suspect in a case and it turned out that he did do it :/

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I watched the pilot episode of 24 last night. Omg, Kuala Lumpur! Now that's an unexpected ( but wonderful ) surprise. Lol, I hope KL wasn't the hotbed for terrorists in season 1 :DD

It's good to see Jack Bauer so much younger, and so much softer around the edges. And I'm thinking that Mrs Jack is going to die soon since she's not mentioned at all in S5 and S8!

[ala-tariel.livejournal.com]

Seriously? Poor him.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Yes, poor Zack :(

[ninjamidget66.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I meant to respond sooner sorry. :)

I do remember them. Joan Chen was soo gorgeous I don't know what ever happened to her. And I still remember Audrey's cherry stem trick (I think that's the first time I ever saw anyone do that on TV). :) Personally I always thought Sherilyn Fenn was much sexier than Lara Flynn Boyle.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

And I still remember Audrey's cherry stem trick (I think that's the first time I ever saw anyone do that on TV).

Lol that was the first time I even heard about that trick, let alone knew what it actually implied. Ahaha, I was such an innocent back then.

Oh Donna wasn't sexy, but she was so pretty!!
