I love Dark Matter so far. Looking forward to catching Killjoys and such later. So many things, not enough time!
Also amusing they admitted screwing all that up.

Eyeballs are a squick factor for me. I cannot deal with eyeball mutilation.

The Strain is made almost entirely of squick factor, and eyeballs do figure, so... yeah. You do not want. >_>

I it though.

It's so bad, but I keep watching. I even made a Requiem Devotion for vampires who want DAT TUNG.

You shut your mouth, there is nothing bad about The Strain.

I'm about halfway through Season 1 and it is FANTASTIC. I missed scary vampires.

So impressive how The Strain managed to make vampires scary, but also still sexy!

That's the thing though: they aren't really scary. The show fails to be actually scary.

So... America's Next Top Model just started for Season 22. I can't be the only one watching. Who else has the lady/man balls to admit it???

SHIT IT'S STARTED? I'll admit it. I'm all over that shit. I started years ago with the justification that a friend of a friend was competing, but then I was hooked.

Hella · Aug 9, 2015, 11:05 PM

@Roz started last week, you're not too far behind. Who was your friend who competed? I've been hooked since season one I love using Allison Harvard as my PB when it fits the char.

@VulgarKitten Friend of mine in college knew/briefly dated Analeigh Tipton from Cycle 11. I never met her personally, wasn't my friend, but it was still cool that it was friend of a friend status. And she's (according to my friend, who is super judgey) a super total sweetheart, so I was glad she went so far in the competition, although she didn't win. But now she has a legit film career, so. Maybe she did win. And now my friend has been using her as a PB for a few years now. (Not the same friend that dated her, he doesn't RP.)

I used Felicia Porter (Po) as a PB once. Her face is so fantastic, but sadly the character didn't end up clicking.

I'm kind of watching it. I'm not a huge fan but a friend on the game is so she reminds me it's on and we kibitz it.

@VulgarKitten
I used to watch it, though now it's beginning parts are scheduled against the meddle to end of Big Brother's season and that is my original reality contest addiction so sadly I watch it no more.

Roz · Aug 10, 2015, 1:02 AM

@ThatGuyThere Wait, do you like -- watch TV on a TV???

ThatGuyThere · Aug 10, 2015, 1:20 AM

Yup pretty much exclusively.
Can't watch it online. I live in a rural area and I have a 20 gig a month data limit on my nets. TV eats that up real quick. I can catch the occasional ep i miss online but watching an entire series would end up costing me more then most shows are worth.

Roz · Aug 10, 2015, 1:21 AM

@ThatGuyThere My joke is now sad. That sucks, man, I'm sorry.

ThatGuyThere · Aug 10, 2015, 1:25 AM

No worries, the hard part was adjusting when it happened. Now I have gotten used to it, not that i don't miss the unlimited I used ot have but well there are worse things .

It's more like Resident Evil style zombies, sort of.

It depends on what you mean by "scary," I guess. No, they're not "fling your stupid popcorn in the air" scary like 99% of the time or whatever, but I find them really disturbing, so far, in that I'm really squicked by body horror. I find the idea of them and especially the idea of becoming one of them frightening.

EDIT: Like, if you don't find the idea of your genitalia falling off and all your business down there fusing into a cloaca and a gigantic bloodsucking worm taking up residence in your throat horrifying, I don't know wtf is wrong with you man.

If I start watching the Strain it's going to be because of this sentence.

Yeah, all of a sudden it became interesting.
