in a few weeks I might actually have some sort of enthisiasm to get up in the morning. 

For now, I think I'm hibernating.  Except rather than nuts I have DVDs of old TV shows.  So all I have to talk about is nerdy retro TV stuff.



I get up, go to work, try to do something productive - where did this work ethic come from!? - then collapse and watch DVDs.  I'm running out of things to watch.

Discovered that Babylon 5 is pretty good if you watch enough episodes in close succession, and have some idea of what's coming up.  The foreshadowing is there if you know what to look for.  Shame the human characters were all so dull at the start. 

Also discovered that Green Wing hurts my head.  Do I like this show or not. 

Coupling has quite a lot of science fiction references. 

Mysterious Cities of Gold gets a bit dull in the middle.  Having a mystical flying machine based on technology of the ancients is all very well, but it's a bit too useful so the writers end up having to make it unavailable in some way every episode.  And it's odd that everyone speaks the same language. 

It seems to be a bit spoiler heavy as well. The "next episode" section gives away rather more than I'd like, and so do some of the episode titles.

I am in the same boat.  I am currently Netflixing Angel Season 3, Buffy Season 4, Deep Space 9 Season 7 and Stargate SG-1 Season 6.  On top of that I am Bittorrenting Dirt, 24, Stargate SG-1 (new eps from SkyOne!), Stargate Atlantis (new eps from SkyOne!) and miscellaneous other programs.  I have no lack of things to watch.

All through the show the non-humans tended to be more interesting.
