  • Nah, it's streaming for free on Netflix, so it's kind of hard for me to want to pay for it. Even though it's 50% off, it's still really expensive!

    I just read the synopsis of Sisters. Sounds good!!! Just added it to my instant queue!
    It started Tuesday! So yes, you can go into the store and get 50% off the criterion selection. Yay!
    re: BN Criterion sale
    Not that I've noticed (I don't normally work the music/dvd department)... Last I was in there (Saturday) only select few were 10% off for everyone and on top of that there were buy 2 get the 3rd free. That's bad ass if that were the case because I want to get The Virgin Spring. I work tomorrow morning, if you don't beat me to it, I'll check it out and get back to ya.
    Xena: Samurai Princess

    Dearest Anamnesis,
    I finished it! First I had to watch that Centaur episode I accidentally missed. Not very awesome, however, it was awesome seeing Ephiny. I really like her character.

    Then I got to the 2nd part/last episode. And I definitely got teary-eyed. It was lovely.

    :sigh: I'm sad that it's over.
    After this semester, maybe I'll watch Hercules or start on Spartacus.

    Anyway, let me know how you are doing.

    Best,
    L6P
    So, I'm 10 eps into the 5th season. The battle of the bands episode Lyre Lyre... it's umm... interesting.
    :sigh: So far though, this is my least favorite season.
    I did! I'm on The Convert right now. And I do remember a lot of these episodes. Like the future life one. But I don't know, some of these episodes make me slightly uncomfortable with the liberties they took on the Hindu religion. But I know that they purposefully did that and made disclaimers, etc.

    I remember not liking Gabby's hair a long time ago, but I like it all now. Her hair, clothes, henna...
    I loved the season 4 two-part premiere. I have vague memories of Alti... she's an interesting, creepy character. I know I haven't seen the last of her and look forward to her next appearance. I was surprised by that flashforward, because I do remember that episode when Xena & Gabrielle are being nailed to crosses ("Ides of March"?). This is going to be an intense season.

    Is it weird that I really liked & enjoyed "A Tale of Two Muses?" I don't know what it was, but maybe it was what I needed after that battle between Xena, Caesar, and Pompey. These last episodes have been really rough on Gabby.

    I am just happy that there are breaks, what I didn't care about in the X-Files was episode after episode after episode (x 1,000,000) of major plot, like the black oil or the super soldiers (I almost called them "Super Troopers"). That's not to say that I prefer the filler episodes. I just need some time in between, some nice character stuff instead of constant action.
    I just watched Season 4 Ep 1. Season 3 finale was damn good. I have vague memories of it. I remember when Gabrielle fell into that pit with Hope. That was a pretty amazing season. Quite a bit of dark episodes.
    I was really looking forward to this season. When I saw that it was on instant play, I almost considered skipping the first season and going straight into the second because I remembered loving it so much. And yes, it is not disappointing me at all. I knew this season had lots of Callisto & Joxer, so that's making me very happy. :)
    cheers,

    Im not a fan, i like soem siongs but by no means a fan.

    I saw someone else use it years ago thought ti was clever and stole it.

    Its kinda stuck since
    Ooh! I also grabbed the first season of Californication as well! I'm gonna have a busy Aug./Sept!
    I just saw the essay on Dex. I'm gonna read it now.
    re: Dexter
    I have not checked out that Amazon page! Thank you so much for letting me know about it. I will definitely have a look at it. Sounds good!

    Yes! I believe it starts at the end of Sept. Exciting! (Too bad I don't have Showtime; I'll figure something out)

    re: True Blood
    I just grabbed them off my bf's computer day before yesterday. As soon as I get back into town (because I'm out of town :p ) I'm gonna start watchin' 'em. Exciting!
    Awesome! I definitely liked the 2nd one better than the first & third. The third was great and not at all a waste of time. I really want to pick up the new one that's out next month.
    re: cutting out the supernatural stuff
    I feel like the supernatural stuff was somewhat resolved in this third book. But clearly there is a higher/supernatural power that exists in Dexter's world, so I wouldn't be surprised if it came up again.
    Did you read the second and the third book? I know that in the thread you said you had just read the first one...
    I finally finished Dexter in the Dark.
    I liked it a lot actually. The supernatural stuff was different but interesting. I liked the idea of exploring the origin of his "Dark Passenger." 2.5/5 ?
    :p Hehe, no worries. I'm not terribly serious about the series, I'm only reading them for the hell of it. I really do prefer the show.
    re: Dexter in the Dark
    I haven't read that yet. I was actually planning on picking it up tomorrow, I just finished the 2nd in the series this afternoon, Dearly Devoted Dexter. There wasn't anything supernatural in the first two, so I'm curious. I wasn't aware of that aspect popping up in the series.
    re: True Blood
    I haven't yet. But I do have the first season! So I'll definitely be checking it out. It looks good!
    If you have Netflix (and the time) it's on instant play! :)
    It's definitely a pretty good first episode. When the show first came out, sho.com put up the first two and I watched 'em there. I didn't think I'd watch anymore until I was channel surfing at home and stumbled upon another episode. It gets better!
