enthusiastickI (finally) have a new userpic, culled from a digital photograph of me being a (slightly drunk) idiot at Will's party last Friday. Actually I have a number of new userpics... I've been trying not to make too much fanfare of it, but in order to gain access to the best of the S2 formats and stuff I recently joined the ranks of the paid LJ users. $25 for 12 months isn't that bad, right?
Yesterday I suceeded in getting Volume 1 of Alias Season 3 from Blockbuster. I have their movie pass deal now, so I had actually gotten Volume 2 like a week ago and was just sitting on it like an asshole until such time as their one copy of Volume 1 turned up. And now it has, and since they package Alias two discs to a volume, I'm currently in possession of 16 episodes of the show. Glee. I think I'm officially giving up on 24... maybe after this I'll actually watch all of Band of Brothers.
I watched the first five episodes of Season 3 last night. The show continues to be as much fun as I remembered. I had heard they moved away from the Rambaldi plotline, and I'm OK with that I guess (I was never really bothered by it.) But I had also heard they moved to a more episodic format, trying to minimize the number of episode-to-episode cliffhangers. Thus far that's proved true and its upsetting me slightly - I'm really not OK with Sydney being happy and out of danger at the end of the majority of the episodes.
What I am OK with is MORE WEISS! That is to say Eric Weiss, played by the inestimable Greg Grunberg, who has finally moved to the Major Character status I always knew he was destined for. He's a definite favorite of mine. I do find it amusing that he's so OK with moving directly into the role of platonic best friend with Sydney. I mean, c'mon, dude, she's beautiful. How are you not falling for that? I also find the new and improved father-to-be Marshall Flinkman, although I find the frequency with which their employing the "Dixon is forced to cut off Marshall's rambling" gag oddly high. Anyway. Its good stuff.
