It's sort of been on as background noise, and from time to time I go over and stare at the screen incredulously. It's like
Xena,
without the charm or self-awareness.

You're absolutely right. But I like the girl's wardrobe (of, er, two outfits) and I have this faint hope that the hero's going to take his shirt off again. Although so far, there has just been the one scene of gratuitous shirtlessness, in the pilot ep.
But it was VERY GOOD shirtlessness. Really. Very good.
The rest of the show, however, seems mostly to be fodder for a drinking game. And I have chimed in with the lines several times now. ("You must accept your destiny!" "This is The Sword Of Truth!" "Luke, I am your father!") And of course the plot points are VERY heavily telegraphed. By wizards throwing anvils made of cheese at the viewer. Still, there have been several laugh-out-loud moments of badness.
...but not, I think, enough to tempt me to put the next DVD in the machine, now that the first one has wended to a close.
New Zealand is very pretty. And I'm astonished that they got funding to make
22
episodes of this craziness. 22. And
Firefly
and
the Tick
both got cancelled. And
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
didn't make it to a third season.
Oh, world.
it's not supposed to be a comedy, right?
I have been proceeding on the assumption that it sort of is, a little bit. It wants to be Xena or Hercules. It hasn't quite embraced the silliness to the extent it needs to. Yet.
If it makes you feel better, it's shown in syndication only, not as a prime time network show, so the standards for success are quite different than they would have been for Firefly, etc.
In the shower this morning I was wishing I didn't like girls because then D would want to be my partner and I could get his health benefits.

But you like boys too??? Um. :: bites tongue::
Um, ION. If my records are correct. I do believe we need to be wishing ms VW a
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
FTR, it is HOTTER in Houston than it is in Dallas. Nice here. But HOTTER. Yes, it warrants capital letters. The seatbelt burned me when reaching for it.
It's hot here too but I'm sure not as bad as Texas. I'm having a choclte eclair Good Humor bar.
And yeah you don't have to bite your tongue, omins. I know I have a bizarre relationship with my roommate. D just happens to be fiercely monogamous. And I have come to accept that I can't change that. I love him and we have sexual chemistry like wheelah! But I'd rather just be friends than agree to never ever fuck another girl.
Happy vw day!
Unrelatedly, happiness is having bras that fit. Ahhhh.
