Okay. Yes. I am a very bad blogger. In my defence I have been extremely busy. I've barely had time to watch any TV, never mind blog about it. I'm back at uni now, working on my dissertation. I've got a presentation coming up and I detest presentations. Doesn't help that it needs to be 10 minutes long, and it's currently 7 minutes long. Stretching out a presentation by three minutes doesn't seem like much of a task, but it seems that no matter how much extra I say, it's still only taking 7 minutes. Perhaps I should try to talk slower?
Being back at uni has of course put a fairly big restriction on my TV watching. I'm on campus, and don't have my own TV, and the uni has banned 4OD for reasons beyond my comprehension, so I've fallen way behind on Ugly Betty. Fortunately two of my flatmates have TVs and both watch Desperate Housewives! So I'll be watching that tonight. Huzzah! Looking forward to seeing Vanessa Williams (Wilhelmina from Ugly Betty). I'm hoping to see something new from her. It would be very easy for her to play the bitch again.
I've also been able to watch X-Factor, with the lovely Steph (who doesn't read this, but deserves much credit). There are some real characters this year. I'm particularly enjoying Storm, who always puts on a show... even if his singing is a little off :P. Wagner really bugs me though. I hope he gets voted of tonight.
Single Father is also on tonight, but I'm gonna miss it and I-Player it tomorrow. Now, the BBC promised me a dramatic comedy, I'm sure and it has NOT delivered. Drama, yes, but it's a total tragedy! Really had my eyes tearing up last week and I don't think it'll get any more cheery. Lovely to the gorgeous David Tennant again though. And he's all Scottish *shiver*. Not keen on the new hair though... bring back the doctor's 'do :P
On a completely different note, I've also been watching Battlestar Galactica. Something that struck me in the first episode is how heavily Sci-Fi leans on stereotypical characters. It's a fledgling theory at the moment, but I'm fitting new shows into it all the time. There's always the Captain Man's Man who wants to kick some arse and shoot up some aliens (Jack O'Neill, Stargate, Mal & Jayne, Firefly, Whatshisface, Battlestar Galactica), there's always the pretty tomboy (Kaylee, Firefly, Sam Carter, Stargate, Lila, Futurama), I'm also considering adding Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica, but I've been told in the original her character was a guy. No sod it, STEREOTYPE! Then there's the geeky one (Daniel Jackson, Stargate, Simon, Firefly, dunno his name yet, Battlestar Galactica, half the cast of Star Trek :P) I'm going to stop there, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to come back to this rant.
