It just occurred to me that exactly two weeks from now, BtVS will have been over for 2 days.

I got this journal to talk about Buffy. What am I going to DO?!?!

I'll have

no Buffy
no Firefly
no Farscape
no Miracles (not that I watched that, but I was all set to start when they cancelled)

only Alias and Angel, both of which I like but neither of which I love

... and Enterprise, but that's a piece of shit hour that I only ever watch because my dad's a fan and can't let go because it's ^Star^Trek^. Not that I blame him, being that I probably inherited this need to be a fan mostly from him (though my mother IS a big LOTR obssessor too)

... and Charmed. Except I don't watch Charmed. And seeing the last promo that I did, about the three of them being Greek goddesses... I know exactly why.

::sob:: I don't even have money to buy Hellsing or other anime. And I watched one episode of Ruroni Kenshin and hated it.

I am losing things to follow obsessively.

In six months, I won't even have Lord of the Rings!!!

::cries::

::goes off to bed::

ETA: Though I will have about 6 DVDs worth of LOTR extras to work my way through... Hn....
Maybe the Cartoon Network will finally air DBGT. I could use some purple-hair bishounen right about now...

Yes, yes, yes, lina-d! "The Dead Zone", while being wholly inadequate as a replacement for what we are losing, is still very worthwhile. I was thinking about it in regard to the "Angel" season finale.

I am fascinated by Johnny Smith's efforts to sort out the information he gets, and I love the ethical elements. Just because he can do something to influence an outcome, should he? Watching him make various little proactive moves, then seeing how he has to assess a radically changed future...it's fascinating. It's not exactly as precise and inevitable as people who believe in absolute destiny might think. It's more of a Mulderesque "universe of infinite possibilities".

I don't know if you've read "To Say Nothing of the Dog" by Connie Willis, but it's a great story about time travel, paradoxes, the implications of altering events, the degree of disorder in the cosmic system.

So, yeah, "The Dead Zone" is a morsel of comfort for me.

My problem with tDZ is that the main actor doesn't spark anything in me. But I could give it another try. That book certainly sounds interesting... I'll always take book recs.

It's quite the gem on cable TV and I wish more people would tune in to watch. Granted it's no Buffy or Angel with the action, but it is engaging, the characters complex and developed and the dialogue quite refreshing. The dynamics between Dana, Sarah, Johnny and Johnny, Sarah, Walt is amazing. Ya Gotta love a ballzy girl like Dana who can call Johnny on his bullshit and still make him a sandwhich. Now that's worth tuning in every Sunday.
