I'm spending the evening stuffing myself with Doctor/Rose fic. And when I say stuffing, I mean that I'll read anything I can find until it comes pouring out of my eyes and ears. If you have recs, or even just places to find fic, please tell me?

Cause Doctor/Rose fic makes my life better.Yes it does.

(XF guy didn't show, btw. *sigh*)

My Top Ten Shows of 2006

1. NCIS
This was a hard decision, because I think that other seasons, particularly season 2 of NCIS was a lot better than the current season. But I still enjoy the hell of the show, and I love them for never neglecting the characters, always revealing something more, funny, absurd, personal,about them. And compared with The Unit, which made second place, I still love NCIS more. It's not a rational decision, it comes from the heart.


2. The Unit
I love this show so much. The shows keeps getting better and better, even though they continue to hint at things and then not tell us, which drives me insane. It helped, of course, that 2006 was even more The Bob! show than before, but even apart from that, I loved each and every episode. Well, except for the season 2 opener. I'm still not over the shock.


3. Stargate
Okay, so it's not the show we knew and loved all these years anymore. But it's still a good show, and there are still aliens and Stargates and spaceships, combined with action, humour and our favourite characters: Daniel, Sam, Teal'c and surprisingly also Vala and Cameron, who have really grown on me. Vala, because she is cute, Cameron, because of his huge crush on the whole team and the wa he worships them with practically everything he does. Of course, you gotta wonder if they ever taught him what it means to be in command, but I like it when he watches SG-1 play with alien toys, not even trying to be in charge. And let's not forget that there is still Jack to love, who is sitting in Washington pretending that being without Daniel doesn't break his heart every day. It's so dramatic.
*loves SG-1*


4. Numb3rs
Had I made this list after two episodes into the new season, Numb3rs would have made the first place. I still can't believe how good the two-part season opener was. I love this show very much and they did some really great things with some of my favourite characters this year, but it continues to lose points with its "One outstanding, one boring episode" policy. Just throw out the boring plots this year, please?


5. Smith
*cries*
This was such a great show! It would have made #1, if it hadn't been cancelled so brutally after 3 episodes. What a great , great show. My heart's broken. BROKEN!


6. Veronica Mars
Judging purely from how much I'm looking forward to shows every week, Veronica Mars is at least #6. I wasn't happy with everything that happened this year, but it wasn't unhappiness from a TV POV, it was a personal unhappiness: some things I wasn't so interested in, some I found stupid. And that, given that the show is now set in college, is quite clever, really, because a college show could not be realistic if I were interested in everything that happened in it. I'm just too old for that. But overall, Veronica Mars continues to grow up with its characters, who are still some of the most human and real characters on TV. And the scene with Veronica and the phone in the cafeteria (I'm not going into details to avoid spoilers) is one of my favourite TV moments ever.


7. Doctor Who
I never expected to love the "new" Doctor so much, but I did. I loved the show, I loved the Doctor, I LOVED Rose, and then they made me cry, so now I don't think I'm ever going to love them again as much as I did this season, but I will also never forget how much I loved them.


8. Bones
Surprise! Yes, I enjoyed Bones quite a lot last year. It has gotten much better since the first season and all the characters are just..loveable. Even the Bones equivalent of Madame Director.


9. Eureka
Well, that was fun. ;-) No, really, this is the only thing I can say: fun. It's not a great, innovative show, but it is well-made fun with some nice ideas and sympathic characters. I can't remember one episode that disappointed me.


10. Torchwood
I already said once that I love Torchwood because it is clumsy, not despite of it. And yes, maybe I enjoyed parts of Torchwood more than Bones or Eureka, but parts of it were also horrible, that's what it is only #10. Bones and Eureka were more consistent, even though they didn't have the highlights Torchwood has. It's a close race. I think it was episode 11 of Torchwood that gave the decision. Still, love the show and its clumsiness.



( Shows that almost made it into the Top Ten )


( Other shows that I watched, that I didn't make it anywhere near the Top Ten )


( Most Disappointing Shows of 2006 )

I think that's it. Quite a lot of shows, I know, but it's not like there was a new episode of each show every week, and besides, I was without work for half of the year. What's your excuse? ;-)

( Spoilers for last night's Doctor Who )

How, I ask, do the British manage to make their TV shows so bloody brilliant?

Am I the only one who hears a little voice saying "Moisturize me, moisturize me!" when they put on their moisturizer in the morning?

The Doctor dances!

*dances*

You know, these lj entries should come with sound. Okay, so that would be terribly annoying with 20 different sounds per friends page, but sure they could make an exception for the Doctor?

Sorry, gotta watch more, cannot respond to your comments. I know, I know, you tried to warn me. But did I listen?

*dances*

I should really go looking for an icon. As soon as I'm done watching and dancing and squeeeing and crushing on Rose. See ya!

Edited: I'm freezing over here, but I forgot to set my current mood icon. And yet, there it is, saying "cold". I'm not kidding, I really didn't change it. Now that's kind of weird. And a bit scary.
*waits for mmod icon to ask for its Mummy.*
*bibbers*

I mean, literally. Cause I seem to have missed that particular part of pop culture, and I know nothing about him. Or the series.

I just know that I finally gave in and downloaded a few eps, and I have been watching them twice! till yesterday. Welll, not all of them, just the first two, and I'm going to watch the fourth one again now, if no one tells me where to find the fic. And where to find information about the show, though I guess I'll wait with that until I've seen some more eps, don't want to get too spoiled. Good thing those eps are downloading so fast, guess I'm not the only one who suffers from instant addiction? Mind you, I don't need another show, not as long as I only have 50 icons. And really, I'm not going to get attracted to a middle-aged british guy with bad teeth, right? Oh no, not me, I'm all here for the cute blonde, she said.

I'm so doomed.
