Fine, you caught me. This time of the year I AM a couch potato almost every night. Two of my favorites are back on TV, one will be off for a few months and I found a new one to take it's place.
Last night was the "winter finale" and just when I got that tug on my old heartstrings thinking Peter was going to kiss Olivia, it didn't happen.
I love Peter. I love his tortured past and his troubled relationship with Walter. Most of all I've loved the way he's been letting his guard down more and more around Olivia.
But we knew the truth would come out soon enough and last night Olivia saw Peter in a new light. She saw the "glimmer" of the alternate universe - she knows what Peter is.
OMG! Can't wait for spring.
Jack is back! Okay, so it's not totally believable that any of this could happen in just 24 hours, and some of the plots are way, way out there - but I have to watch!
He's always there saving the day, putting his life on the line, and maybe, just maybe he might get a little more affection this season.
I like that they've brought Renee in this time around, I hope Jack at least get some affection out of this season, it's a been a few since we've seen him with any kind of love interest. (Hey, I AM a romance writer, did you expect anything else?)
New show! Mark Valley (wow, great eyes!) plays Christopher Chance in this showed based off the comic of the same name. Valley is a West Point grad, and a gulf war vet, which gives him just a bit more of an edge in this role.
Love the dry sense of humor.
I've got a soft spot for shows and characters that operate just outside the "law."
Haven't seen this one? Give it a try.
And last, but not least... LOST is back for it's final season.
Will the Island finally give up it's secrets?
The premiere was interesting with two realities going on. One with our losties still on the island and the other - our losties aren't lost at all, they're landing in LA going on the path they would have gone if flight 815 hadn't crashed on the island.
But which one is real? Will they have to make a choice where to stay?
I loved the raw emotion we saw in Sawyer when he was trying to save Juliette, honestly 5 years ago would any of us have guessed he could love anyone that deeply and be so overcome with grief? And Sayid, OMG I think the whole house heard my sigh of relief when he came back from the dead - thank you! We can't lose Sayid now.
So, there you have it. My favorite time-sucks. Give me a warm blanket, a cup of tea and something sweet (really, anything chocolate will do!) and I'm content for a few hours.
Happy Couch Potato-ing (I'm sure that's not a word, but it's my blog and if I want to make up words... I can
