This didn't end up being quite the marathon I had hoped it would be, as today was for some reason a lot less pain and a lot more sleeping. So after nodding off a few times, I gave up on watching anything that needed my actual attention and put the Food Network on instead. Oh well. It's still much more of this series than I've ever seen before.

Pain Level: 2.5
Number of Hydrocodones Consumed: Only 1!
Overall Entertainment Level: 5.5

Comments: This is one of those shows in which I care a lot more about the characters than I do about the premise of the show itself. Chasing demons? Don't care. Wiseass banter? Yes please. I didn't get nearly far enough to see Castiel either, and I'd like to give that a shot just to see what all the fuss is about. So how about it, flist? What are some episodes with him in them that I can watch without being too hideously confused about what's going on?

Overall, still fairly baffled by the amount of enthusiasm people have for this show, but I can see the appeal of writing All The Fic about these characters.

First day of post-op recovery consisted of napping, watching the latest episode of Megaforce, of course, and then a Doctor Who marathon. I was told to start with the Ninth Doctor, so that is where I started, and burned through all thirteen episodes today.

Pain Level: 3.5 - 4
Number of Hydrocodones Consumed: 3
Overall entertainment Level: 7

Comments: Nobody does it quite like the Brits, do they? This show is definitely smoking a great deal of RJ's weed, what with the farting aliens and gas mask zombies and homicidal reality show robots and living spaceships and all, but that certainly isn't a bad thing. I can see why so many people in my life enjoy the series as much as they do. The dialogue is flawless, the soundtrack is stellar, and there seems to be a well-balanced mix of angst and WTF-British-comedy going on at all times. And I am utterly convinced that the Doctor, Jack, and Rose had a three-way between episodes 10 and 11. I could have done without Rose's whiny dippy boyfriend, though. He strikes me as a fairly pointless character. But Jack getting repeatedly stripped naked was a nice touch.

All in all, I don't imagine I'll be joining the fandom anytime soon, but it's definitely a good watch.
