heidi: (Heroes @ Hogwarts)
My DVR let me know that SCIFI has started showing Dark Angel on Wednesdays at midnight, and will be doing another DA marathon this coming Friday starting at 9:30 AM, and that this coming Sunday, ABCFamily will be doing a Gilmore Girls marathon of Jess-centric episodes, including Milo's first appearance on the show (but they're not showing Keg Max with the Jared-and-Milo-fight-scene, alas).

Why they didn't do this while Heroes and Supernatural were on hiatus, I'll never know.

As regards watching other things, no, I haven't seen the trailer for OotP yet. I avoided trailers and previews before the first film, and again before PoA - for the first, I didn't want anything to take away from the magic of seeing the whole film at once, which was probably a bad idea because I found many, many things annoying, especially the ninety seconds of Hedwig flying, which could have been cut to 20 or so seconds, thereby leaving a lot of time for "Nitwit, blubber, oddment, tweak!" as well as "in the desert" and "Snape hated your father but your dad saved his life so there's a major guilt trip issue there," which would've changed the *entire* film around for me, character- and plot-wise.

I don't really want to see this trailer because I've heard that the scene with Sirius and the veil is in it, and I want to see it in the whole emotional context. I was devestated when I finished OotP because of the whole Sirius thing and it took reading Noctune Alley that weekend before I could think of AUs where it never happened, and then [livejournal.com profile] copperbadge started Stealing Harry and I was able to reread the books and deal with canon and fanon again. But it was a hard and desperate thing.

I'm bringing tissues when I see OotP, and I know I'm going to use them. But I don't want to see that bit beforehand...

Les Miz is closing in March. In other words, I'll never get to see it in NYC again. Wibble.


I spent about an hour t00bing around the first fandom I ever really played in online - the one for the (admittedly in retrospect dumb) british 70's sf show The Tomorrow People, which I fell for when it aired on Nickelodeon back in the v. early 80s, way back in the day of You Can't Do That On Television, The Third Eye, Belle & Sebastian and that show which we also got on film in elementary school where they followed talented kids around for a week. You know, the Livewire! days.

Anyhow, it turns out that they're releasing all the eps of the show in the UK on DVD, but they're Region 0, so they'll play on all dvd players worldwide. I am trying to decide whether I should get all the eps, some of the eps, or the "series" sets - and am also waiting for Series 5 and beyond, which I liked more.

I found myself wondering if I'd've read HP when I did if it hadn't been for this show. I mean, when I was a silly 11 year old with very few cultural references, I saw this show and became a bit obsessed with British stuff - it was the same time as the Duran Duran invasion, which may've made an impact too - but between the two things, I started buying British music, books, magazines, etc. And it's a crush-affair that never really ended - hence, my "early adoption" of The Eyre Affair last Spring. But of course, I never would've known that the dvds were being released if I hadn't gone over to Amazon.co.uk in search of some British HP stuff. So it's all cyclical - everything leads to something semi-related.
