Various TV-related things

1. I have my hands on the Dollhouse Pilot. Am excited! Tahmoh and Eliza and, of course, Joss. How can it go wrong?

2. I forgot to mention that a couple weeks back, I checked out an ep of Legend of the Seeker, I think it was 1.08, the one with all the s&m (still way toned down from the book. I hated the book so much, not only did I not finish it, I threw it away instead of returning it and getting a refund, because I didn't want anyone else to stumble on it by mistake). While a vast improvement on the "novel", and with a male lead who is rather awesomely hot, the whole thing is just so...the dialogue, the plot, the acting! No. Just no. OK, I fully realize this is coming from the girl who tried watching a drama called Vampire Gigolo so I have no leg to stand on, but still...no.

3. Korea has clearly decided to branch out and adopt American TV:

Korean Gossip Girl:



Korean Twilight:



Korean Hugh Hefner's The Girls Next Door:



Awww, who am I kidding, it's Korea and they know what they do best:



Oh, how I love this scene!

2) I can't bear the thought of trying to watch the show because Wizard's First Rule, which I read when it was first published back in the nineties, traumatized me on about ten different levels. Worst book I ever actually finished (it was the trainwreckiness of it that kept me going) until I read Twilight last year.

Also, I have the first disc of that Vampire Gigolo thing here from Netflix because it sounded like the crackiest thing that ever cracked. I was hoping it would be so bad it's good, but now I'm not so sure!

I have never watched more than 10 minutes of VG so no idea if it's good...I planned to continue but got sidetracked.

Just HEARING about Goodkind's books were enough to make me swear to never touch anything related to them in a million years. *insert ranting about how decent fantasy goes largely unnoticed and it's only the generic junk that most people have ever heard of*

Seriously, I've read and enjoyed some bad books over the years but this was just unbearable. And offensive.

I was planning on checking out Legend of the Seeker because I've been seeing it everywhere lately but maybe I shouldn't. I mean, I couldn't even finish watching the last few eps of True Blood.

All the fake blood aside, I totally loved that scene. Jun Pyo better cry and angst like hell when he hears Jandi has to give up swimming from the hit she took for him (when I saw him ignoring her in the long previews, I died a little).

He better feel super super super angsty. Seriously. Majorly. A bit of emo as in preview for 14 is not enough. I hope Ji Hoo really tells him off! (I know you don't like Ji Hoo (I do) but even then...seriously. He needs to know).

[sodahands.livejournal.com]

Even though I don't like Ji Hoo I still want him to tell him off and even punch him like in the manga cos Jun Pyo so deserves it. I mean, he just ignored her at that party or whatever when she came to see him all the way from Korea. What kind of a person does that?! Oooh I am just so mad at Jun Pyo!

I've been really enjoying Legend of the Seeker but haven't managed to get into the books. It looks like this will be the first of a few fantasy novels adapted for television, which has me pretty damn excited :D

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

That would be a neat trend.

I heard they will be making a TV Series of George R.R. Martin books A Song of Ice and Fire. Apparently Legend of the Seeker is doing better than they thought it would

I... kind of want to see Korean Gossip Girl. o_O
