4am_secretI've been awake since 5am. I've had breakfast, and coffee, done my school reading and read my flist, and went for a 45 minute walk. I actually have energy, but I'm so not used to feeling this way that instead of doing ALL THE THINGS I'm just sitting here feeling overwhelmed by the possibilities XD I don't know where to start!
So, I thought I would babble on briefly about the TV show premieres I've caught recently :D
First, have any of you guys been using sidereel? I'm finding it super helpful! They even email you every day to remind you of shows that are on that day and the next. One of the reason I've fallen behind in keeping up with TV shows over the last decade or so is because I have such a hard time remembering to watch, even when I love a show. It used to always be schedule problems, and now it's just a tendency to get distracted by other things and lose track of time. Another benefit of that site is that if you miss an episode, you can watch it on their site - not directly though, it just collects links to places where you can either buy it online (like itunes) or where you can watch it through sites like megavideo and whatnot.
HIMYM
I'm loving HIMYM so far this season! I've read a lot of spoilers, so I can't say too much about what's going on at the moment in the context of what I'm excited for in the future, but I'm really enjoying how they're setting this season up. I can't get over all of the new and unique ways this show finds to have me laughing so hard I wheeze XD I should've posted about it earlier, because I'm forgetting some of my favorite moments now (although Lily flashing Barney while Marshall tries to cover Ted's eyes in slo-mo comes immediately to mind)~
2 Broke Girls
I wasn't sure about this show from the beginning of the first episode, but it's gone on to win me over. I still don't see much about it that makes it super unique or much different from other sitcoms, but Kat Dennings is freaking PRETTY (._.) and I usually enjoy her attitude.
Terra Nova
I just finally caught the premiere of this last night! OMG. OMGOMGOMG. It's basically Jurassic Park in the future *_______* And it has Landon Liboiron from Degrassi! I was really excited to see him on this show :D The first episode alone was basically a movie, but the ending was so intriguing that I definitely can't wait for more.
Glee
Yeah, yeah, I've been watching it :P I know a lot of people have officially given up on it, but so far, I actually like this season for the most part. I'm disappointed though, that Quinn's pink hair phase is over ;_; It bugs me that she apparently couldn't keep that look while changing her attitude, I don't think I like what it seems like they were trying to say by having her go back to her previous style, but oh well :/ I continue to like Brittany more and more. Beiste continues to be amazing. So on and so on, haha.
Ringer
Three episodes in, and this show is just growing on me more and more! It's funny though, I must admit that if it wasn't for SMG, I probably wouldn't have been interested in it to begin with, it's not really the kind of show I usually get into. But it is kind of soap opera-ish (and not so much in the way of more modern things like The OC/the new 90210/etc. which aren't really to my taste at all, it's more daytime soap), so maybe that contributes to the sort of guilty pleasure intrigue appeal XD
New Girl
I'm kind of on the fence with this one, although I haven't watched this week's yet. I REALLY HATE the marketing for it, and the commercials. I'm just sick of things that try to make people think 'omg, she's so cute/quirky/adorably weird/unique!!!!' To be honest, she's not weirder or more "quirky" than tons of other people I know, and I don't like that they're taking aspects of her that aren't even that weird and trying to make them be.
But anyway, I watched the show, and I didn't care for the beginning, but it grew on me throughout the episode, and the end of the first episode kind of sold me on it XD The guys singing to her in the restaurant was cheesily adorable in a way I couldn't help but love ._. I'm interested to learn more about the guys, since they're kind of two dimensional but you get a taste of how they could be given a little more depth. Especially the douchey guy, I hope they're planning on making him less of an idiot as the show goes on.
Pan Am
This show, THIS SHOW. OMG. I love it so much *o* Christina Ricci <33333 I LOVE her character, and I'm kind of disappointed that she didn't have much of a big role in the first episode, since she's been at the forefront of their promo for this show so much that I assumed she was more of a main character. But maybe that will come in later (or maybe it's just because she's the most recognizable of the cast and they knew tons of people would watch it for her >.>). Anyway, the cinematography and overall look and sound of this show is just gorgeous and rich. I love the soundtrack, I love the fashion, I love scenery, I love the hair and makeup, I'm just really really excited for more of this show. Also, glamorous espionage! *o*
Revenge
Ooooooh, this one is good too! If you haven't seen anything for it, it's basically sort of a mystery/intrigue kind of show, where a girl whose father was framed for some major crime was taken away from him at a very young age, and years later moves back into the same beach house in the Hamptons they used to own so that she can take revenge upon the whole group of his old friends that were behind framing him. I like that, unlike other shows that deal with revenge, though, she isn't all about just killing everyone off. Each episode she has a new target, and she finds ways to tear them down that is very personal to them, something that focuses on things that are most important to them. Normally I would be iffy about something like this, but they're all extremely wealthy people who pretty much need to be knocked down a peg or two in the ways that she finds to do so, so I find it pretty enjoyable >.> You also only learn about what happened all those years ago little by little. I've never read The Count of Monte Cristo, but it's supposed to be based on it.
Oh, and it has Gabriel Mann in it and I really like his character a lot, so that's pretty exciting too :D
Supernatural
Supernatural, oh Supernatural! <3333333333 LOVE IT. LOVE EVERYTHING. I am so excited for this season. I don't even have much more to say about it, to be honest, even though I feel like I should. It's off to such an intense start, between that premiere and the promo for this week's episode.
Also, Death has so much of my love, so so much.

lirren, if you aren't watching this show, I think you should! I meant to ask, before XD
I'm really enjoying this one, though. And I really want to read the books! The one boy (I can't remember any of their names D:) is really pretty. I've been craving more witchy things lately, so I'm really excited about this show!
---
I'm also looking forward to some shows that haven't premiered yet. Grimm, American Horror Story, and Once Upon a Time, and I'm excited for the return of Merlin and Degrassi! My list of shows might grow, too, because I plan on catching up on some more eventually (I've been re-watching Caroline in the City - any of you guys remember that show? :D). I used to be such a TV junkie when I was younger, all the way through high school, I think I'm regressing to that @_@
