it's only the end of the world

I finally got around to watching the tivoed pilot of Jericho. I was not terribly impressed, but as there's a serious lack of post-apocalyptic television (HURRY UP BSG DAMMIT) I'll probably keep watching until it's inevitably cancelled. I realized as I was watching, though, that while I love post-apoc TV/books/movies etc, it's not really the apocalypse itself, or the immediate aftermath, that I'm interested in. It's how people go on living afterwards. So the original BSG miniseries-- while I do love it, it's not as compelling to me as the actual show is. Less "OMGWTFCYLONS our planets all got bombed to hell" and more "okay, we've got 50,000 people left in the human race on a bunch of crap-ass ships, *now* what do we do?"

In other post-apoc TV news, I got my box set of S1 Dark Angel from Amazon today. YAY YAY YAY. Also I got Sky High, which is an absolute genius movie.

And best of all, I don't have to go to work tomorrow morning! I can sleep in! OMG! *is really really excited* And then we're going to a Padres game tomorrow night!

Did you catch Jeremiah when it was on? It sounds like something you would have enjoyed :)

No, I never did, but I just looked it up on imdb and you're right, it sounds really good! I wonder if I can Netflix it.

It's an excellent show. I hope you can chase it down. I know it has Luke Perry in it, but believe it or not, he's really quite good....

If you can't netflix it, I know you can bit torrent it....

And in fact I did just bittorrent the complete season one. It finished downloading last night and I have been awaiting the moment when I can finally watch an episode!
