Six Feet Under-Concluded

Last night was the night I have been looking forward to and dreading; I came to the end of Six Feet Under.  The show, which ran on HBO for five seasons, had the best season finale I have seen.  I’m going to try not to give specific details, so hopefully this won’t be a spoiler for anyone (but there may be a few-sorry).

A Game of Thrones

Since I've blogged about True Blood and Six Feet Under I think it would be odd to not blog about A Game of Thrones (GoT). GoT is the reason David subscribed to HBO. This is another TV series based on a series of books. There is a lot going on, and I'm going to do my best to not give away the juicy bits, just some back ground and direction. Here goes nothing!

Six Feet Under

Another show I found on HBO2go is Six Feet Under.  The truth is, what caught my eye is one of the actors in the photo:  Peter Krause!  Peter currently plays Adam Braverman on the show Parenthood (on of my favorite shows, I'll blog about that eventually I'm sure).  Ok, so I started watching it because I wanted to see something else Peter had been in.

The show is a little dark and twisted...I'm into season four and I'm still not sure how I feel about it, but I can't seem to stop watching it.

I Got Sucked In...

That will be funny to you in a minute.

My super awesome husband signed us up for HBO many months ago so we could get in on the Game of Thrones goodness.  We had all of season one to enjoy, and we did.  Twice!  The bonus to signing up for HBO was HBO2go.  This meant much of the goodness that is HBO could be enjoyed on our iPad, laptops, etc.  Suddenly I found I had access to all these movies and series.  Still with me?  I'm working my way to my point.

w00t!!!

SYTYCD has announced the final four, and they are exactly who we thought they should be: Katee, Courtney, Joshua, and Twitch. Mark and Chelsie have been eliminated! I'm still sad over the early ejection of Will, but I would have had a really hard time picking amongst Will, Joshua and Twitch. One of them had to go and no choice would have been a good one.

Now that the top four are named, I think that if I had to pick a favorite to win, it would have to be Joshua; such an amazing talent. But I don't really care who wins at this point. They're all great and each has a very bright future in dance.

My faith in humanity thus restored, I shall await the finale with bated breath.

Peace.

Bucket Full of Ugh

Work has been just about the suck this week.  It's only Wednesday.  Ugh.

I'm still pissed that Will was elimiated last week on "So You Think You Can Dance," and Mark is still there.  And I'm tired of Chelsie doing her octopus on crack solos.  Ugh.

There is a reason some of my former friends are well, former friends.  If I wanted anything to do with any of them, I would have made contact with them.  Ugh.

Ugh Ugh Ugh.

Disappointed

So as you know from a previous post, I have been watching "So You Think You Can Dance."  Early on my favorites were Twitch and Kherington.  Well, Kherington's attitude kind of took over when she wasn't getting the high praise she wanted and that pretty much ended things for me with her.  When she was sent home I was ready for her to go.  Twitch is still one of my favorites, but the one I thought would win the competition was Will.  Well, this week America sent Will home.  I realize, as they get into the top 4 couples it's going to get harder to say goodbye to contestants.   I seriously thought the top for would be Will, Katee, Courtney and either Joshua or Twitch.  I wanted them to send home Mark and either Comfort or Chelsie (Chelsie does the frantic octopus on cocaine I'm a salsa dancer dancing without a partner and I don't know what else to do dance, and it drives me nuts).  I was completely shocked when they said Will was in the bottom two, and then that he was the one being sent home.  I think America was high.  Now I think the best dancer on the show is Katee, but I still have issues with her from her attitude before they even let her on the show.  Since America took Will away, I guess I'm gonna have to root for her.  If Katee, Joshua, Twitch and Courtney are the top four in the finale I guess I can forgive America.  If Mark wins the whole deal, well, there will be an apocalypse.  There has to be.

What I'm Watching

I don't care what anyone else thinks, I think "So You Think You Can Dance" is one of the best reality tv shows on right now.  I look forward to watching it every Wednesday night.  Ths is the second week of actually seeing the couples do routines.  I have to admit as much as I like watching the bad tryouts, it does seem like there are too many nights of it.  Anyway, so tonight I haven't been terribly impressed, until Twitch and Kherington took the stage and did a Viennese Waltz.  Twitch is a freestyle dancer, not a Viennese Waltzer (did I just make up a word?).  Kherington is, just good at everything she does.  To see them do this dance together, to see the lines and the flow and the grace... this was the routine for me tonight.  I think they are going to be my favorite couple this season.  I can't wait to see what style they pull out of the hat for next week.  Having declared them my favorite couple, I do have to say there are a few other individuals in the top 18 right now that are worth watching.  I think once the have the top 10 dancers things are going to get intense, and be an enjoyable way to spend an evening.  Who knows, maybe I'll lose a million pounds and learn how to Krump.  HA HA!

This Show is So Wrong...

...but it makes me laugh!  David and I have been enjoying a double dose of Family Guy every evening.  I love how witty it is.  I am all for a tv show that says what it wants to say, leaving no doubt about how they really feel about, oh just about anything!  After a snarky day at work it's nice to have a show that vents for you.  It makes me miss the early years of South Park, which in my opinion have just gone too over the top.  It's nice to have wacky tv options.
