Thank God for DVD. i get to watch old TV series i never got to finish. im usually like that. i start being so into a series. after a couple of seasons, the interest wanes or i get busy. so im now playing catch up on a number of them.

in the car, there's six feet under. im now on the last season, last 6 episodes. i love the way this series plays up, blows up one's neurotic and psychotic tendencies! this totally dysfunctional family remains so endearing!

at home, it's x-files. im a bit slow here, im not even done with season 1. primarily because when i get home, watching dvd is 2nd priority to catching up online. i got really hooked up with mulder and scully for a time. id even lead discussions in the office of the previous episode! and the sexual tension between the two is something worth watching every time.

the other series i'm watching are current ones. on my ipod touch is brothers and sisters. im about to finish season 3, so im almost in real time here. another one is desperate housewives, which i consider my guilty pleasure. im still in the middle of season 3 so i have more catching up to do.

watching episodes in sequence is a different experience altogether. it's like a time warp of sorts where the characters zip through their lives in front of your eyes. this is particularly dizzying for six feet under, where the characters morph every season! i could hardly recognize claire in her transformation! lauren ambrose became really beautiful towards the end of the series. im now curious to see how this time warp effect will play out on david mulder and dana scully.
