in which i attempt to articulate my feelings about this show without favoring the letters o, m, and g, and the !
I am a hardcore gleek.
I don’t even know how this happened.
When the pilot previewed last.. whenever it was, I didn’t even watch it because I was still in that phase of my life where I wasn’t really watching TV in real time and I didn’t bother with the difficulty of streaming videos (Granny was already having issues then, the old gal) (Granny is my computer, FYI). Note that this was not me trying to resist the show. I had absolutely no reservations against it. It just takes me a while to start watching a show. And the ones that I do decide to watch over the others, well there are a few questions that I unconsciously ask myself before making a gut decision:
a) Is it a Joss Whedon show? Are there Whedonverse alumni in/involved in it? If yes, I will be counting down the days til the show premieres. (Which is kind of a lie because I only started watching Castle after I saw Nathan Fillion at the Apple Store recently, and I missed the premiere of V, which apparently happened at some point this week? but if the answer to these questions is yes, I will be more inclined to catch the show.)
b) Is there something inherently geeky about it? i.e. is it sci-fi? is there science involved? If yes, I will probably watch it.
c) Are there hot men on it? If yes, I will watch it.
SPOILERS AHEAD.
