My television experience: 3/9



Today I watched a large amount of TV for my usual non-TV watching self: a whole 2 1/2 hours. First I watched Castle, the new TV show starring Nathan Fillion (who is a hottie with his roguish smile and general egotism), who is CANADIAN by the way. LOVE HIM. And yes, Stana Katic is there too, with her boyish good-girl-is-a-cop haircut. I loved this pilot, and from the looks of Wikipedia, I can look forward to at least 9 more episodes. Dear ABC, please KEEP THIS SHOW FOREVER. Unlike some of the really stupid shows ABC puts on as a quick test pilot, this one actually looks at murders from an intelligent and generally bemused eye. It is very "bad boy author (?) hits on goody two shoes lady cop, they begin as enemies, cuz he pisses her off, now they're going to marry" situation. But I love the banter and since I love watching Nathan Fillion play cocky people like Captain Hammer or Rick Castle, I admit it is a runaway hit for me. And, Susan Sullivan, who plays his mom, is constantly cracking me up whenever she gets on the screen. Also I love Molly Quinn, the cutest old soul ever. HIGH RATINGS PLZ CASTLE, YOU NEED TO BE MY NEW OBSESSION.

In between the segments, I saw a commercial for Disney eggs, that special make little Mickey Mouse faces. 





These are really awkward. 

I also briefly watched Ninja Scrolls, this bizarre anime about what so many animes are about... random ninjas! This ninja dude is traveling alone all the time, and there is mad awkward deaths all around the most random places. And this girl almost gets raped by a man-boulder. It was graphic, but her boobs were blanked out. And I was sitting there wondering, What the heck is going on? Why is this so bizarre/graphic/awkward?

ta for now
