  Sorry for not being around

  First of all, I didn't leave and I don't intend to. But I neglected tv.com and I am sorry. Since the redesign I found myself coming here less and less and I haven't read blogs in days. No one was more surprised than me, I used to come here every chance I got, no matter how busy I was. I know you are the same people, rationally I know. It just wasn't the same fun for me anymore.

  I had doubts about going dark to be honest. I see that staff is working on glitches, I picture them dealing with the hassles and trying their best. Also, I would prefer a shared set of wishes behind this initiative. Still, me and my behavior lately proves that I am not satisfied. This site is just not as attractive for me anymore and that's a pity because I care about my tv.com friends.

  I remember reading a blog from Lisa (bad me - last blog I read) and she put it well, the community is not feeling the same. I miss the personal touch on the profile pages. Seeing the first couple of blogs on the main page, information about more blogs, and seeing how many comments they got.

  Anyway, I feel bad that I went dark in advance and I will catch up this week, I promise. Miss you.

  Count The Headlights On The Highway

  Well, I didn't feel like blogging lately, but I decided to show a small sign of life. I am being in a strange mood but the new week will cure that. Also, I am having a wellness trip (SPA, massages and everything) next weekend so that's a good thing. We were supposed to do that in my vacation but we had to postpone, so it's a treat, now.

  EDIT: I'm back. It was lovely.

  

  Really short blog but hey, that's good for a change, isn't it?

  What I'm Watching

  Doctor Who season 2
  

  I am loving the new doctor, I am beginning to get why people crush on him. His introduction in the Christmas Special was amazing and I his attitude is just adorable. I also saw Anthony Steward Head and all I could think about was: "OMG, where is his hair?" Also, how cute is K-9? And how nice was "A Girl in the Fireplace"?

  Pushing Daisies

  This time, it's Olive bursting into song about her heartache. I admit I was bewildered, at first, but Kristin Chenoweth won me over in no time. Great finale. Oh, and I love Digby, by the way.

  Character Countdown Coming Up
  

  I'm working on a character ranking, right now, but some positions have yet to be established. Still, I am giving you a sneak preview - how nice am I?

  

  

  I'm not giving too much away for many of you when I confess that I am a huge fan of Spike (in case you're wondering: the non-Angel-hating variety). I'm really sad because my all-time favorite video of spike scenes has been deleted from youtube. In case you need cheering up, here's my runner up for those occasions. I saw that Auntie wrote about this song and it reminded me of this video.

  Take care everyone. See ya.

  Firefly Countdown - Final Part

  That's it, the final part of the countdown, all truth revealed. I knew about my number one at once, no second thoughts.

  And I am all healthy by now, thank god. My weekend was a little working (still have to catch up after my vacation), having friends over for diner (I made Indian food), some TV (with Queer as Folk, Dr. Who, and The Closer) and a bubble bath (haven't done that in ages).

  Queer as Folk

  I have been spending quite some time watching Queer as Folk (US) lately. The characters are so lovable with Michael, Emmet, and Brian being my favorites. The outstanding song moment is the admittedly cheesy Prom dance. It was so cute and the lyrics are just perfect for them. Since some you haven't seen the show, I shall say no more. *sigh* My runner up is David Bowie, by the way, at Michael's 30st birthday (Boys Keep Swinging).

  

  Prom Scene (Mild Spoiler): Ben E. King & The Drifters - Save The Last Dance For Me

  Dr. Horrible

  That one is long overdue, it gives me the chills. What's not to love? Great lines, Dr. Horrible as ambulatory bush, and Captain Hammer with the most awkward smile ever.

  

  Scene: On the Rise

  Firefly Countdown Part #6

  Finally, the top three.

  *SPOILERS for the episodes ahead*

  #3 Jaynestown

  
  
  I just had to have a funny episode in my top three and I go with this one. The crew poses as mud buyers in Canton and Inara services the shy son of the local tyrant. Jayne in disguise was a blast and the whole worshipping was hilarious. The song is great as well and Wash's comment gets me every time.
  Also, River fixing the bible is cl@ssic and how awesome was it to see Book's hair? Simon was cute, when he said that Kaylee is "pretty pretty" but of course he managed to mess it up again, who is surprised?
  The end is more serious. Jayne's speech was great and we get to see him, probably closest to noble in the whole series.

  Favorite visual:

  The crew seeing the statue for the first time. Those expressions on their faces are priceless.

  Favorite quotes:

  Jayne: (to the Mudders) Far as I see it, you people been given the shortest end of the stick ever been offered a human soul in this crap-heel 'verse. But you took that end and you - well, you took it. That's, well, I guess that's something.
  

  Book: River? Please, why don't you come on out?
  River: No! Can't. Too much hair.
  

  Favorite Jayne lines:

  Jayne: You guys had a riot on account of me? My very own riot?

  Jayne: You're gonna talk me to death, buddy, is that the plan?

  Jayne: Living legend needs eggs.
  

  Favorite Wash quote (as I mentioned before, I know):

  Wash: We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm a hero.

  #2 Ariel

  

  A serious episode which I found to be very gripping. River attacking Jayne with a knife made for a surprising start and it was nice to see Simon really being useful for a change. He needs advanced equipment for River, so he advises a heist on a hospital. It was fun seeing the crew getting trained in medical speech; River's sixth sense becomes more obvious; and Simon gets to save a life.
  It broke my heart to see Jayne turning on the others and the blue handed man caused very creepy deaths. I also liked the scanner visuals. Finally, I loved that Mal knew at once what Jayne had been up to. The last scenes at the airlock were very strong.

  Favorite visual:

  River's drawings in the end. They remind me of the Asian cartoon characters in the commercial featured in Serenity.

  Favorite quote:

  Jayne: What are you gonna tell the others?
  Mal: About what?
  Jayne: About why I am dead.
  Mal: I haven't thought about it.
  Jayne: Make something up. Don't tell them what I did.
  Mal: (closes the airlock) The next time you decide to stab me in the back, have the guts to do it to my face.

  Favorite Jayne quote:
  

  Jayne: Hell, I don't know. If I wanted schooling, I'd have gone to school.

  Jayne: Genial high-tech Alliance crap. (tries to break the door open with the fancy Alliance gun)
  

  Favorite Wash quote:

  Wash: It's all very sweet - stealing from the rich, selling to the poor.

  #1 Out of Gas

  

  
  

  
  I just love this episode, it has a great atmosphere, a brilliant score, and wonderful colors. There is plenty of drama but also immensely lovable scenes. The timelines are handled perfectly and I love the flashbacks that reveal more about the history of our heroes. It never gets old for me.
  In the beginning we get a very nice scene in the kitchen area which is always good in my book. I loved Mal and Zoe setting foot on Serenity for the first time, Kaylee being all smart, Jayne's bad ass attitude, and Zoe despising Wash at first.

  Favorite visual:

  Seeing Wash with a mustach, no question!
  

  Favorite quotes:

  Mal: (about Serenity) Try to see past what she is, on to what she can be.

  Inara: Oh, one further addendum. That's the last time you get to call me whore.

  Favorite Jayne quotes:

  Jayne: Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fighting at a time like this. You'll use up all the air.

  Jayne: Tell us where the stuff's at, so I can shoot ya.
  Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.
  

  Favorite Wash quote:

  Wash: What do you expect me to do, Mal?
  Mal: Whatever you have to! And if you can't do it from here, then get a suit on and go outside on the side of the boat—
  Wash: And what? Wave my arms around?

  I am almost sad it's over. Enjoy your week!
