TV weekend
18 April 2011 13:28This weekend, I started watching Fringe. But before I got to that, I decided (there was a reason, not entirely sure what it was) to rewatch The State Within, a political/espionage drama from 2006.
OMG IT WAS SO GOOD. It really held up (though I had forgotten 90% of the second half...), and the reactions I had were the same as the first time I watched it (there are basically two moments out of six episodes that annoy me, which is pretty good going). The script was great, the acting was amazing (Ben Daniels! Lennie James! Jason Isaacs! SHARON GLESS!), the plot moved along at a decent pace AND made sense (mostly). Why the writers didn’t get snapped up for Spooks, I don’t know. I need to look up some of their other stuff soon.
So that was my Friday night/Saturday morning. If you haven’t seen The State Within, I really recommend it.
I then moved on to Fringe and made it through 11 episodes by the end of the weekend, well done me. Most of my thoughts were OMG AWESOME, but a slightly more developed version below the cut:
(Please no spoilers past episode 11!)
( Fringe )Tonight I am planning to move my bedroom around as I am fed up of hearing the guy next door and his mates talking ever so late into the evening. They were still chatting at fucking 1.30 am this morning. And earplugs don't really help. UGH.
