My brother has watched seven seasons of SG-1 in ten days. He doesn't have a livejournal to (brag on / mourn) his obsession on, so I'm putting it here. Dear brother: that's pretty hardcore.
I am making my sister watch Torchwood but then I'm making her fast-forward through the parts I find excessively gory. The third time I went ( little spoiler )! Oh no!" she replied "You have no idea what kind of manga I read, do you." Though she was kind enough to lend me a volume of Shout Out Loud, which is not just goreless but hilarious. The angst! The innuendo! The whited-out anatomy! It's like the kind of boyband fic I read when I was twelve, made into a comic! I do not usually read manga, but I was charmed.
We're through "Greeks Bearing Gifts" (though we skipped "Small Worlds", which I've taken a grudge to for some reason). So far my sister hates Jack and loves Owen, which is the exact inverse of my feelings on the matter. Every time something bad happens to Owen she goes "No! Poor baby!" and I silently cheer.
On the other hand, I'm forming a more solid picture of Jack's character, partially because I'm still pulling clips and so I spend more and more time with the footage, and ( he really comes off as a psychopath sometimes, doesn't he? (spoilery ramble) )
/end long weird ramble. I will now go translate ten pages about bean cultivation in the mesoamerican highlands. Go me?
