TV, Buried Stargate Atlantis stories and snow, snow and more snow

[wraithfodder]

Since I had the day off, and it was snowing, and the roads were slick, I stayed home and tossed food on and off to the birds, and went through a stack of TV Guides and Entertainment Weeklys that had accumulated on a chair (to one of those dangerous stacks that if it falls, could sever a toe, or at least mash it). Anyway, found out there is an animated series called Penguins of Madagascar (yes, from the Madagascar movies) coming up. It premieres in March on the Nickelodeon channel. And Christopher Gorham (whose character Henry once dated Betty on Ugly Betty) will have his own show called Harper’s Island which debuts on CBS on April 9th. Regrettably, most of the cast is young and will be bumped off when the series concludes when the 13 episodes run out. It’s about young people at a weeklong wedding party in which people get bumped off by a serial killer. Guess someone was pissed off about not getting an invite. Think the most interesting looking one is Castle (debuts March 9th on ABC) which stars Firefly’s Nathan Fillion, about an author whose murder books are being copied by a real life murderer. And Cupid is being redone over at ABC, and my hope is that with that being redone, they’ll repeat the original one with Jeremy Piven, but most importantly, with Joe Flanigan! Otherwise the first quarter season (no other way to describe it these days) looks, eh, meh, nothing too exciting.

But best yet, got into a cleaning mood, which also included the computer, and I went, hmm, what’s this folder marked “SGA stories to read.” The motherlode! I’d saved a bunch of Shep whump stories onto the hard drive and hadn’t read them yet. Yes, Stargate Atlantis still lives! Well, at least in fanfic. I also found another folder full of LJ stories I’d just saved the story off, to read/print later and comment on. Oh, have lots of feedback to leave.

Meanwhile, Flashpoint seems to be doing pretty good. The CTV ratings were the highest ever. Full article at Canada Newswire. The better the rating on both sides of the border, the more chance of a third season and ooh, maybe DVD sets!

And I mostly spent the weekend shoveling the driveway. Was out at midnight last night. Dog insisted on going out, so I brushed aside one spot, then just kept going. And did it again tonight when it got dark. It seems easier when it’s dark, because maybe I just don’t see HOW much snow I really have to shovel!

YAY!!!! *looks forward to Nathan Fillion in Castle*

Thank you for the heads up!
and finding "new" stories on the hard drive is great, isn`t it????

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Castle actually looks like it might be entertaining. I never got into Firefly, but loved Nathan in "Slither" ;) And 'new' stories on the hard drive are great. Not like I'm spending tons of time outside with the 17 degree temps!

[nosurething2.livejournal.com]

oh, 17 degrees....I can imagine!!! I HATE the cold....though i wish it was just a tiny bit colder over here in germany.........it`s just above 0° C here....so: cold AND rain!! I´d prefer snow! at least a tiny bit of it, instead of the never ending drizzle......

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I want to be in Bora Bora....

[nosurething2.livejournal.com]

I told you!!!! I DO fit into your suitcase.... (well, not really)......;o)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Haven't gotten my passport yet ;) Or the Florida Keys. Somewhere warm and sunny with clear blue water and no phones!

[nosurething2.livejournal.com]

"slither"????? what is "slither"??? why don`t I know it?????
*runs off to google it*

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Horror flick with killer alien snakes. Here's the official site

I got the DVd for $2 at Walmart at Xmas! Couldn't pass it up :)

[nosurething2.livejournal.com]

YAY!!! Thank you!!!!

SGA's still on for me, I'm a full month behind on my fic, and that's not counting the Big Bang stories waiting for me. We probably all read the same stuff anyway so we can pretend we're still watching the show!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Lucky you! :)

[stoicana.livejournal.com]

Okay...

1. I love you for loving Nathan Fillion.
2. YAY! I'm not the only person watching Flashpoint. Canada FTW!...ahem...
3. Shep whump....meh. *runs and hides*
4. Get a snowblower. It's a freaking God send, I kid you not. And it's awesome....except when it's trying to eat me.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Hey, not everyone loves Shep whump or say, McWeir, etc. ;) Nah, snowblower's too pricey. Got enough bills. ;)

[gatedialer.livejournal.com]

Oh, I am glad to know when Castle is airing! I have been waiting for that. I loved Firefly and heard interesting things about Castle.

I have yet to make my Friday night "to-watch", since SGA is finished, I need to find something to kill time with before the new BSG episode.

I wish it were cooler here. Gods, our "winters" are a joke, it was 80 degrees today.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Hmm, Skiffy is filling the friday night slot with repeats of Invasion and Moonlight then BSG...

[jedi40.livejournal.com]

If you like Shep whump you should read the fics done by SGAFAN. She does whump very well.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, know her work :)

[jedi40.livejournal.com]

Are you reading her new whump fic "Cold Silence"? Talk about a nail bitter.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

And it doesn't take too much to imagine Shep freezing as it doesn't seem to want to go above 20F here! ;)

[jedi40.livejournal.com]

So true Wraithfodder...so true

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I'm officially sick of winter..

[jedi40.livejournal.com]

So am I. I heard we have gotten double the snow amount we normally get and it is only January!

Only two more months till Spring! *groan*

[ancientcitadel.livejournal.com]

Hmm, Castle sounds like it could be interesting.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

It does. we'll see how long it lasts ...

I've been looking forward to Harper's Island. Two of the cast members were/are regulars on Supernatural: Katie Cassidy (Ruby in season 3) and Jim Beaver (Bobby Singer).
