Here is the long overdue Alias poll that I decided to do after you got back to me on which polls you'd find amusing. Since Fringe has started and some of us are in the JJ groove again, I thought this was the best time to reminisce about my favourite JJ endeavour Alias.

I am a bit rusty on this fandom - more than a bit - so the questions aren't that gobsmacking and I apologize for any errors due to memory fuzziness. Enjoy!

Thanks for participating!

TV I'm trying while fandomless:

Carnivale, Fringe, True Blood, HIMYM, Rush and Deadwood.

This is what I am watching via DL anyway. I think every single one is a different genre. Huh.

I've heard good things about Mad Men but have yet to watch it. Thoughts? Is it just good and well made or is it my thing?

Why aren't I watching season three of Dexter? I like watching Dexter on DVD in one or two shots. It's one of the few shows you can do that without noticing too many continuity errors (or at all) and it's fun (even though the credits get really annoying that way).

( Super short HIMYM premiere thoughts )

I haven't started watching Carnivale yet even though I have several episodes because, since it's already over, I figured I'd wait until I had them all in case I liked it and wanted to watch the next one NOW. I've heard very good things.

True Blood is the slowest download ever and I'm only downloading because it's a vampire series based on a series of books. I haven't read the Sookie Stackhouse books but I'm hoping it means there's slightly more plot and direction than the average vampire show. Do I kid myself? We'll see. I'm open to trying vampire shows.

( Fringe thoughts. )

( RUSH thoughts. )

Are there any new shows I should be watching?

Watching Fringe and just had to say something. Great intro to Joshua's character (sounds like an awesome super intelligent jackass, my kind of poison). When he came on the screen after his introduction my reaction was: *pants* yeeeeh gahhhhds, rrrowwrr, eyes so blue!! And other less intelligent things (oh yes, I sink lower).

I missed that face and I'm so glad I got to see it on a show like this rather than having to sit through Grey's Anatomy.

( Only mild spoilers which you'd already know if you've even heard of the show. Mostly vague thoughts. )
