This week on Netflix

Here's a little something you may or may not know about me: I loathe cable television.  I haven't had cable television since 2007 and I don't plan on having it again anytime soon.  I am however grateful for Netflix for providing me with tons of shows to watch and I have the liberty to watch an entire season all at once.  I enjoy dedicating myself to a new show every few weeks or so or until I finish the season.  This past week's show has been Psych.  I love detective shows but the seriousness of most investigative shows become monotonous. I usually begin to only watch for the clues and the end result without ever developing a connection to any of the characters.  In Psych I really enjoy how James Roday's character, Shawn Spencer, solves crime while maintaining his obnoxious but loveable humor.

 I'm sensing that your resistance to me is futile...

I admit, throughout the first season his cocky attitude and seemingly omniscient crime solving skills grated on my nerves after a while.  However, each show usually ends on such a good note I either heartily chuckle aloud or smile wide and quickly press the 'x' on my PlayStation to start another episode.  I definitely recommend this show if you enjoy solving cases alongside tv characters and laughing intermittently as you do so.

    This week's new show has not been set in stone, but I was thinking of starting Deep Space Nine...   *waits for some dramatic movie sound effects*  (Wow!  Shawn really is good!)

When I lived in Austin I was introduced to Star Trek: Voyager and shared a very special nightly ritual of eating dinner over an episode or two of the show.  I haven't been able to bring myself to finish the rest of the seasons without my trusty Voyager sidekick.

(We'll call him Chakotay).  

Ooh! Ooh! Oh!  Can I be Janeway??

Wait a second...  

Eyes up here, Commander.  You cheeky bastard you.  *grins*

Even though Chakotay isn't here to enjoy a new Star Trek series with me, I thought Deep Space Nine would be a good start.  Well, I started the first episode and the first 5 mins broke my brain.  I have so many questions!  Le sigh.  I guess I should watch the rest and figure it out but it just isn't the same without a tried and true Treky at my disposal.  I'll give it another shot I think when it isn't 6 am.  I woke so early; I think I went to bed at 7 pm...   Something's amiss.

Anyway, I really enjoy watching shows with others and discussing them or nerding out with fellow fans.  If you have a show you really geek out about, please let me know and I'd be glad to check it out!
