I'm waking up at the start of the end of the world...

Me: Why are we glad it's the Frankenphone?
draegonhawke: Because if you have the choice between naming something "the frankenphone" and not naming something "the frankenphone", you name it the Frankenphone.

I love the Rift.

I love Magi.

And all of this makes the existence of a trailer for the US version of Life on Mars much better somehow. ...Well, no it doesn't, because after watching it I still want to weep, but it distracts me from the existence of said trailer.

...Although mentioning the Rift and Life on Mars in the same post brings my brain back to bad plot/storyline ideas it DOES NOT NEED AT ALL. Because it would break people. Lots of people. And we've got enough of that scheduled, thank you very much.

*snort* That is classic. ALL HAIL MAGI.

...And now I feel bad for pointing out the existence of that trailer.

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

It's okay. I would have found out about it eventually. But OH GOD WHY?

ABC?

YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!

...Sorry, I'm gonna be like this for a while now. Feel free to ignore me.

You know, I could deal with this if NBC or FOX got it, since shows die frequently on those networks and they suck most of the time anyway, BUT ABC IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE EVIL LIKE THIS.

Moral outrage is the best cure for this madness. I do not begrudge you your indignation in the slightest. *nods*

I know! What the hell, ABC? You did so well last season! I had such faith in you. What went wrong?

[kawaiispinel.livejournal.com]

Apparently, everything we love and adore is doomed to disappoint us?

*grumbles* At least we get DSM and PD back next season, so they haven't completely made me want to set fire to the network.

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

Yes. That is a couple (thousand) points in their favor. So unlike NBC, I have no reason to go blow up their main building. But seriously? They are this close.

[kawaiispinel.livejournal.com]

If NBC had gotten it... I'd have to wish Heroes on a better network, because... Yes. They're already on my list.

*rolls eyes* You know, of course, ABC pulls this shit. Every show I watch religiously is on that network, so it's like "Nyer, nyer, you can't blow us up or you'll lose all your shows." Damn them to hell.

I bet it gets cancelled or maybe that's just intense wishful thinking.

I can't see it lasting. I just... can't. It looks so bad. The whole feel of that trailer is just... wrong. There's a REASON Life on Mars works so well, and it's because they hit the right tone, and the characters feel like real people, not TV-people, and... oh, so much fail.

Oh god, I just saw the trailer and just....Whaaaaat? What the FUCK was that?

I need to expose everyone I are about to LoM now before they see that and actually think it's worth watching.

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

I am feeling the exact same way. Seriously.

[imperfect_tense]

I saw the trailer, which I shouldn't have done since I'm sotired, but - I want to weep. And send Fi and Molokov in to explain a few things.

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

PLEASE SEND THEM. SO THEY CAN EXPLAIN. WITH FIRE AND GUNS.
