Numb3rs
Ok, first off, I want to wish ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
geeklite a belated birthday. I so meant to make this post last night, but I fell asleep. :-/ I hope you had an amazing day!
Next, I know I'm totally late on this, but I want to talk about Colby and the Janus list.
Gah! This was such an amazing episode! When I finished watching that episode I realized that that was one of the most effective season finales I've ever seen. I can only think of one other season finale like it (The Buffy one where she killed Angel). It wasn't quite a cliffhanger, because the problem was resolved, but it just left everything so broken. I can't wait until the new season starts. *whines* I'm going to be spending waaayyyy too much time thinking about this ep. Also I was really impressed by this ender, because the finale for season 2 sucked so, so much. I'm glad they were able o make this one much more interesting.
The thing is, not for one minute did I actually believe Colby's been a spy for 2 years. I have a feeling he was probably pulled in by the Americans when they discovered Dwayne, because:
1) What are the chances they both happened to work for the Chinese. I mean of all the governments out there... It would be more likely if it were a Middle Eastern government, because at least they both fought over there, but the Chinese? I mean we know how Dwayne got involved, but Colby? His only connection is Dwayne.
2) If Colby was a spy on the same side as Dwayne they had some mighty weird private conversations. And Colby's must be a pretty good actor to look so surprised and hurt over Dwayne being a traitor. I mean honestly, if they both knew (and if it were true I can't believe they wouldn't at the very least have suspicions) they might not have come right out with their secret traitor hand shake, but I think they probably would have spoken in a few more double entendre's.
3) If Dwayne *knew* that Colby was a turn coat, I think he would have turned him in when Colby cornered him. He was so upset and angry when it happened I can't believe he wouldn't lash out. I mean, I know he knew by this episode, but I bet he probably learned while imprisoned and decided to sit on it, because he was calmer and already caught, he knew he'd have to use that info to his advantage, but I doubt he'd be thinking that clearly when he was first arrested.
Edit: Obviously there are spoilers in this post and the comments for Janus List. In the comments though we now have some vague cast spoilers for season 4 (of both Numb3rs and SGA). Please don't spoil me people. I can't handle it! (Ok, I *can* but it'll piss me off). If you *are* looking for spoilers for season 4 there's a link in the comments to somewhere where you can find more info.

Yeah you really have to use something to keep it. I'm relearning a bit of French now that I'm working in a bilingual environment. But I'll never be fluent again.
I'm really glad I found so many nice Numb3rs fans here, because none of my orginal friends (I knew them from other places in the internet) watch it. It's so much more fun when you have someone to talk about it.
Yeah I can understand that. I started off in the Queer as Folk fandom, and a lot of the fans from there migrated into the SGA fandom so it was really nice, but Numb3rs is a much smaller fandom. I probably wouldn't be nearly as into Numb3rs though if it weren't for the fandom and people on my flist whom I can talk to about it. Actually, I've done more talking about Numb3rs this weekend then I have about just about any other show.

I've planned to do so for some time now, but never got around to actually do it. But I always watch the French tv channel when I'm at my sister's place. I unfortunately don't have the channel. I love listening to French and I can understand some bits and follow it.
English isn't much of a foreign language anymore. It's more like a second language. There are days I write more in English than in German. Sometimes I even think in English instead of German.
I started in the Friends-fandom, where I met wonderful people (most of them I already met in person multiple times) and consider them as real friends. One of them made me watch SGA (it wasn't that hard for her to make me like it) and I made another friend watch it. So I have at least two people to talk about it.

See most of my fandoms were introduced to me by

I watch many tv shows, but I'm not really active in fandoms. I once in a while write a review in my lj and talk about it with my friends (sometimes in their journals). But I nearly never go to other places (communities or fora) to discuss it.

f I don't answer anymore, then I had to switch off the pc,
That's ok, I'm supposed to be working on a vid right now, it's due the 31st and I have 1 clip on the time line :S Hope you weather the storm ok!
no subject
What other shows are on your list?
The weather got a bit better. At least good enough that I could switch on the tv again. :D

I think, at the moment, there's only one show on my list that I'm planning to watch: Supernatural. But only because my friend says I should and she's sending me the episodes. And I'd like to catch up with Criminal Minds.
I think I've seen half of the shows that are on your list. The ones from the UK are really amazing, Dexter is great and I loved Farscape.
no subject
That's good to know that you liked Farscape, I watched most of the first season and while I didn't hate it, I didn't really feel compelled to watch more. I'm hoping it gets better.
(Also, sorry for taking so long to reply, but: Stanley Cup Playoffs.)
no subject
Icehockey?
Farscape got better every season. At least in my opinion.
Half of my playlist is watching Supernatural. As soon as I've watched some episodes, I'll probably write a post about it.
no subject
How do you know you're talking to a European? They say "ice hockey."
How do you know you're talking to a Canadian? They say "Is there any other kind?"
:P
Seriously the first time I heard someone call it "ice hockey" I mocked them, until my dad told me that there was such a thing as field hockey.
I would probably be really deep in the Supernatural fandom if I weren't so in love with SGA and Numb3rs

Haha. That's cool. :D
I think Germany is better in field hockey than in ice hockey. We also have an ice hockey league (even my town has a team), but I never really follwed the sport. I like soccer.
I'm really curious about Supernatural. My expectations are pretty high already. But my friend told me that she didn't like the first season much, but that the second season was really great. Well, I have to see it myself.

Ah soccer, it's becoming more popular here. But it's not so much a spectator sport here as it's a playing sport. That came out wrong. Lots of people play it here, they just don't watch the professionals play. Actually, my uncle is in the Guinness Book of World Records for soccer. :D

Well the characters are great. There are a munch of people who find it scary, but I don't at all. I actually find some of the story lines hokey since they're really popular urban legends. Like Bloody Mary, or the guy with the hook. Season 2 has been a bit more original, and has an ongoing story line with Sam that covers a lot of eps.

My uncle organized a fund raiser in his town to have 2 regular sized team play an entire seasons worth of games in one day. 24 hours straight with only something like 5 minute breaks between periods. You should have seen them by the end, they could barely stand up, but they did manage to get some good plays at the end where the teams tried to beat each other. :P

Soccer can be a cool sport. And the atmosphere in a stadium is just great. My friends and me went all crazy last year during the World Cup. :D

Today is the first home game. It's going to be nuts. There's this one major road downtown that they've been shutting down for every game because it's so full of people. They have this massive outdoor screen set up at city hall so that people can watch the game from there. I don't think the city has ever been like this before. It'll really suck if we lost (so far it's 2/0 for the Ducks :(((( ). We're hoping that now that the team is back on home ice they'll have a better chance of winning (not to mention *real* ice, the ice in California was so soft that the puck was bouncing all over the place, and snow would fly anytime someone tried to stop. *shakes head*).

It's too bad that Leipzig's soccer teams suck so much. We're only in the third league. :-\
