*Heaves big sigh* I'm on a watching-downloaded-TV-series-on-my-computer marathon. Holidays, my only time I get to watch as many shows as I like. And get bored equally as fast. Well, at least I can watch the shows without annoying commercial breaks, pause the show anytime I like, don't have to wait until commercials to come on for toilet breaks, can watch the show anytime I like, etc.
My eyes are very sore and somewhat red from watching twenty-four episodes of the TV show 24 season 5 in three days in a row, averaging 8 episodes a day. My mom says I'm over-straining my eyes, to which I agree. My brother says, "NOOO!!! Don't tell me the story! Don't spoil the fun for me!! I also wanna watch later". Hhhmmmm.. I smell a rich, warm golden opportunity wide open for me to give my brother a miserable time. Muahahaa. Wicked, ain't I?
One thing that draws me to 24 is their storyline and intriguing, meticulous plots. Just can't wait to watch the next episode once you've finished one. Plus, another attractant 24 has is the shock element. Anybody can be killed at any moment. And those whom you thought were the good ones end up being the bad guys, vice versa or they just are as you see them. So you have it all ways. That just makes it impossible to predict 100% what's gonna happen next. Now that I like (",)
I got one question though. How come they stopped showing 24 in Malaysia? They stopped at season 3. What happened? Too violent? Terrorrism content that might just drive some nut loose? Too many killings? And, why did they have to kill off Tony Almeida? Sayang betul. It's a good thing they didn't kill off Aaron Pierce, or I would have boycotted their following season. They better come up with a stronger president next. Disgraced President Logan is just plain weak and disorientated. I hated the character even before they revealed him to be the antagonist in this current conspiracy.

Another show I'm catching up with is Ghost Whisperer. Yes, the new show with Jennifer Love Hewitt in it. She plays Melinda Gordon who can see and talk to ghosts. Earthbound spirits, her grandmother calls them, with unfinished business and she helps them. So far, I've watched 7~9 episodes. Some cases are pretty boring.. like Mended Hearts and Miss Fortune. Hmmm. Maybe the latter wasn't that bad.
Episodes involving ghosts of children were particularly among my favourites. Don't know why. Innocence maybe. The Demon Child episode was probably the first I watched. Ghost of a child haunting his own house, his mother, his baby sister and especially the nanny. All these antics were just to catch his mother's attention and send her a message. The other episode The Crossing tells the story of a young ghost, not knowing that he was dead or the meaning of death itself. Side note: I think Jennifer Love Hewitt has amazing chemistry with David Conrad, who plays her on-screen husband.
The episode I find most interesting, tear-jerking and my most favourite is Pilot. Hey, the cute guy from Prison Break was the ghost in this episode. OK. Aside from the fact that the ghost was cute, he was really convincing and impressive.. especially the crying scenes. See, his character never lived to see his son born. When he finally saw his already grown-up son, he cried. And when his son realizes that his father's spirit was there with him, he cried cuz he misses him so much.. over the fact that he never really got to know his father himself. They cried. I cried. Argh, told you I suck at controlling my own tears when I see others crying. Man.. I never cried so much over a TV show.
My bad. I couldn't wait for House second season to start viewing in Malaysia (They're playing Numb3rs latest season at the time slot at the moment). I've started watching several episodes already. Can't help it! There are no other medical dramas as interesting as House since E.R. and Chicago Hope. I've betrayed my age, haven't I? Scrubs portrays the life of doctors comedically but hardly focus much on anything interesting medical-related stuff. Grey's Anatomy? It's boring and way too unrealistic. Besides Sandra Oh's performance in that show, I just can't think of any other good reason to watch it. Period.
I haven't been religiously watching World Cup matches this time, unlike 2002. The last full match I watched was Germany vs Argentina. I find this time round a lot more boring than 2002's. Too much drama. Rooney-Ronaldo incident just shows how overrated and immature one is while further proves how shallow the other one is. I rather watch Wimbledon instead. I love watching Nadal's tenacity, mental strength and energy on court. But I think Federer will win Wimbledon cuz he's just too good on this surface. This is his backyard. This is his tournament to lose. He did win Wimbledon by the way.. his fourth Wimbledon. I admit that I haven't watched much of Federer's matches before. Now I'm a big fan.
