Deal the crack, kiddies.

So I'm working on my holiday wish list on Amazon, and I saw Supernatural S1. And y'know, I've heard a lot of good things about the show (and the actors!) but I don't know if I would actually like it. I like shows with lots and lots of character development, and when the plot is things happening to the characters rather than the plot being something that would happen anyway and the characters just happen to be there (which is why I love QaF and PoT and why I stopped watching Lost early season 2. It became so much about these random things happening and the characters reacting to them instead of about the characters themselves, if that makes sense.) I also don't like lots of violence and horror--although I can watch it if it's not excessive or gratuitous, if that's the only thing going for a show or movie I won't be interested. I am also unsure but open minded regarding those other inital shows. Um. BSG? and SG something? Hahaha, I don't even know what they stand for, I just know they are space cowboys sorts of things, right? What do you all think?

And, for the record? When I say I've watched Prince of Tennis and Queer As Folk and Lost? I mean that's all I've watched, ever. And a few episodes of Gilmore Girls and that's it. So any show you want to recommend would be acceptable. :)

See the multiple votes for House? House rules the world. Pretty soon he will rule your mind and start dueling with Brian. Then the wives will have to drag them apart, one of them luring House with Vicodin, and the other looking like Sex Walking Away From Brian Which Must Immediately Be Righted.

Also, I agree that Buffy and Angel are crack. And sometimes, the canon itself has some pretty crack-y stuff. Makes crackfic a lot easier to write, I think -- not that I write it, but OMG they had a musical episode. A MUSICAL.

I've heard some pretty good stuff about Battlestar Galatica, even from non-geeky people. I think it's worth trying if it gets that kind of praise.

Okay. Supernatural. Um.... Prettiness abound, in the music and the boys, and yes, the characters are v. good. There is quite a bit of plot but the characters MAKE the show. Without them, the show is crap. Crap sci-fi & dubious amounts of testosterone. Instead, you get an amazing show and a LOT of testosterone to keep things pumping. Wheee energy and anger!

Ahahah, wait, what wives? Brian is DEFINITELY not heterosexual...and I have heard a lot of House/Wilson talk?

I really like cracked out canon. :DD

And see, I am a geeky person, so I'd probably like it a lot!

I am def. asking for SPN for christmas yay. :)

Wives = everyday codenames for Justin and Wilson :P

Okay, so, yeah, no House because a lot of the conversation deals with the patients, which deals with the gore, and ... yeah. But last week, House and Wilson had a fight and, as my friend says, "Mommy and Daddy had a fight and now the Baby Ducklings don't know who to follow." Personally, though, if House/Wilson weren't practically married, it'd be like House/everyone.

When you get SPN, do post about what you think of it, will you? :)
