Am I blushing?
Jan. 11th, 2006 12:35 pmI avoided watching "Veronica Mars" when it was on last season, even after all the good buzz on the show AND Alyson Hannigan's guest appearances. It was on opposite another show I was watching, and I had too much on my plate to pick up another VCR juggling act, what with the Emperor's imminent arrival.
While perusing the library's online collection, I noticed that they had the first season of VM available on DVD, so I figured, what the heck, and put my name in the reserve list.
My bid came due at the end of December, so I picked up the series, only slightly worried that I'd be able to power through all the episodes in the two weeks of the check-out period. I watched the first disc of episodes, and I was almost immediately hooked. It has the level of writing from Buffy, with similar snappy repartee and kick-ass female lead. The actors in the ensemble are amazing, and have wonderful chemistry together. I'm glad I didn't watch during its freshman season, because it almost certainly would have been cancelled.
( Spoilers if you haven't watched the show and want to later )
Jason Dohring isn't exceptionally handsome, or awesomely built, but somewhere along the line of the development of the character Logan, I became obsessed. I haven't had this bad of a crush on a celebrity since Ben Browder strutted around "Farscape" in some badass leather pants....sorry, lost for a moment there. *grin* I mean, seriously! I am way too old for this nonsense. Accelerated heartbeat, goofy grin, skin becoming sensitive in the damndest places, fantasies all over the place...I mean, the actor is married, 24, and a freaking Scientologist! But no, I have to laboring under a crush like some awestruck teen.
If this is my body's reaction to getting a normal amount of sleep and starting back up again with a hormone cycle, I'm almost tempted to go back to breastfeeding. (Shut UP, nipples, that's not what I meant.)
ARGH!
