I've decided BSG and I are undergoing another temporary separation. When the show started to get to me last season, I'd stop watching for a month or so at a time and then catch up, and it's just easier than tuning in week after week and being left disappointed/irritated/crotchety.

That being the case, I have a free hour for a drama again, so I'm thinking of catching back up with 24, which I haven't watched since the season premiere. I think there are a couple of you still watching - how is it so far? Good? Or has Day 6 been ridiculous and not in a fun way?

Mulder traces troubles to '04 season with A's. Well, sorry, Billy. I tried to talk [Bad username or site: rickenbacker / @ livejournal.com] out of killing you, but then Mark went and opened his mouth. I try not to pay too much attention to the words that come out of that boy, because he strikes me as one for self-delusion. And I'm not just saying that because he married a woman. I hardly know what to make of any of his recent comments about his pitching problems. I'm not really sure why this is coming up again after the Cards have insisted Mark wasn't "damaged goods" when they traded for him.

Brandon and Lidge crack me up.

Also, Freddi Gonzalez kinda looks like Garth Brooks with the facial hair, and it's freaking me out. Nice try, guys, but I'm still not rooting for you this year.

eta: Among the players sporting new looks at the start of camp is right-hander Dan Haren, wearing a thick beard. Closer Huston Street arrived with long, thick sideburns that immediately got him a razzing from general manager Billy Beane. - It amuses me that the Cali papers find this kind of stuff merits a mention.

I'll miss F. Gonzalez on the field *sobbing*

has Day 6 been ridiculous and not in a fun way?

I've only seen the first 4 episodes (which I think was the premiere or premiere weekend episodes?!) but I've heard from people I usually agree on shows that it's still pretty good so I'm getting caught up with the show once I get some time (hopefully this weekend). I really hope my trusted people haven't gone grazy and it actually sucks or something! =P

I've seen the first six of 24, and I have the next three recorded but I haven't watched them. Heroes showed back up in the same timeslot and it's been far more interesting, probably because it doesn't have five-plus seasons of the same "identify only lead" - "find only lead" - "torture only lead" plot dragging it down. I've heard it's still entertaining and I do mean catch up at some point, but it's been downgraded to "I put it on to the side while I work on the repository" status. And when I had the opportunity to put it on in that situation over the weekend, I picked Season 3 Buffy instead.

If you're looking to pick up an hour of drama, I will of course recommend Friday Night Lights again and again. Or, failing that, Heroes, which is also a bit on the junky side of television, but at least I haven't seen the same episode a hundred times.

Oh, and I also meant to say that I'll probably be iconing that picture of Brandon. (Surprise.) And you'll probably be interested in the mlb.com Astros Notes (http://houston.astros.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20070218&content_id=1806438&vkey=spt2007news&fext=.jsp&c_id=hou) that explain why they might be so into what's going on. And that also show why Lidge's self esteem is probably off to a great start in 2007.

What? So now who am I supposed to not talk to about that given weeks episode?

With baseball right around the corner, you're gonna be watching more TV than I do soon. This is just your subconscious freeing you up all the more.

Your scroll box of fandom? Lies! Damn, dirty lies!

I love pitchers who think they can hit. Or, in this case, who attempt to make themselves better when they rarely even get ABs.

I'm also shocked to see Brandon is alive. That makes me happy.

Yeah, I wasn't happy with the last two episodes of BSG ::sigh::

Oh dear, I do love the Galveston boy.

I think that they should let Lidge's team win. For the good of the ballclub.

Nice try, guys, but I'm still not rooting for you this year.

And yet you take the time and effort to look up pictures of them. Interesting. I can trust you'll be back by the time the first tussle amongst the team occurs. So um. early-mid May over/under?
