I guess I'm the only one in the lounge who DOESN'T watch West Wing.

[Shine]

:eyes: oh well.

I'm finding all the drama about spoilers quite amusing....although I can certainly appreciate why everyone is upset.

I take it somebody blew it, eh?

Kinda tacky, imo.

[XemaSab]

1. I don't either!

:hi:

[Shine]

Oh good, I was feeling rather isolated in my bemusement.

:pals:

[JohnKleeb]

2. No you're not

I don't watch it either. Only dramas I watch on TV is Law and Order SVU and Law and Order.

[Shine]

10. Well, we all have our little preferences, don't we? heheheh.

for me it's 24. Jack Bauer is one helluva guy....:eyes:

:hi:

[NewJeffCT]

3. never saw it

don't plan on seeing it, either. Sounds like a great show through the years, just not something i wanted to watch when it came out years back.

[Shine]

13. yup, me either.

:hi:

[RevolutionaryActs]

4. I don't watch it either.

Well I used to watch, but not for a long time. I totally understand why people are pissed though.

[Ava]

5. i don't watch it either

:shrug:

[sendero]

6. Me neither..

... I have enough TV to watch.

[Xipe Totec]

7. What's West Wing? n/t

[LeftyMom]

8. I've never seen it

I'm really not much of a TV person- the last show I made a point of beign home to watch was Deep Space Nine, and that went off the air years ago.

[no name no slogan]

9. I don't watch it either

Never had much use for "political dramas". Maybe it's because I was a PoliSci major and worked with too many politicians to know their jobs are mostly drudgery interspersed with boring shit.

Most TV sucks. Except for COPS. That show is fucking hilarious. Especially when Bubba loses his shirt right before he gets arrested.

[Shine]

16. LOL! Well, we all have our "guilty pleasures" regarding TV.

mine is 24. It's pretty much the only thing I watch.

Hey, I studied Politics in school, too! :hi: :pals:

[no name no slogan]

21. Majoring in PoliSci totally turned me off "conventional" politics

It seemed that the only people I knew who wanted to be politicians were doing it for the wrong reasons (power, money, power, notoriety, power, getting their name in the papers, power, etc.).

After four years of being around ass-kissing, power-hungry jerkoffs, I decided I'd had enough and had nothing more to do with it-- until after the 2000 election, when we had to do something.

I haven't watched "24" yet. But I have a feeling I'd get addicted to it right away :hi:

[Shine]

25. Yup, I'm turned off to it, as well.

"conventional" clearly doesn't work. We need new ways of creating social change. :thumbsup:

Re: 24, I had heard good advance buzz on this season and it definitely has not disappointed. I'm completely and utterly hooked, even though it stretches the boundaries of "reality" quite amusingly.

:hi:

[LostinVA]

11. Me either

[Nailzberg]

12. I haven't since season 4, but it's a matter of principle.

I can understand why people would be so angry about the spoiler. The entire season was building up to what was revealed in that spoiler.

I'm mad as hell on principle. Because next time it could be a show that I watch.

[LynzM]

14. No, you're not!

Fancy seeing me here *grin* :hi:

I've never been one for 'popular' TV... more of a Discovery/History/that-kinda-stuff girl, myself, when I do watch TV.

But, I can understand the frustration of not wanting people to give things away, for those who do watch!

[ContraBass Black]

15. I don't.

But if anybody posts that kind of spoiler about Battlestar Galactica,

I

WILL

KILL

YOU.

[Shine]

17. LOL!

:scared:

[BreweryYardRat]

18. Caprica Six and Baltar's respective "mental people" can see each other.

Actually I'm just guessing, so don't spazz out.

Would make for some awesome four-way conversations if it turns out to be true, though.

[ContraBass Black]

20. !

[BreweryYardRat]

22. You were asking for it.

Besides, blind guess. I just think it'll be right.

[BreweryYardRat]

37. ROFL!

Just saw the new pic.

[LaraMN]

19. I don't watch it, but not because I think it's a poor show.

There just isn't much teevee that I make a concerted effort to watch on a regular basis. Alias, Medium, and the Office are the only shows I really follow (Alias being the only one I actually flip out, if I miss.) I'm not a big television watcher. :shrug:

[nini]

23. There's nothing on TV that important to me that I would react the way....

many are here. It's a damned TV show. I can see being disappointed, but would hardly have a shit fit about it.

There's too much real crap going on in the world - a look at LBN will put a reality check on the spoiler hysteria - maybe.

[Shine]

26. Well, I agree with you, but people can get REALLY into their shows.

I can understand their upset, and, at the same time, I can understand the perspective that it's just a "damned TV show".

I can see both sides, with bemused detachment.

:hi:

[nini]

28. Like I said I can understand being disappointed

but not to that degree.. we agree.

:-)

[entanglement]

24. I don't, either

But my TV time is rather limited anyway.

[enigmatic]

27. I don't watch it either

I think I've seen 3 or 4 episodes; not my thing..

[yellowdogintexas]

29. I don't watch it either, somehow never got started with it

next thing you know it is eightyears later....

[RevCheesehead]

30. I don't watch it.

I'd say I NEVER watched it, but that's not entirely true... I was once forced to watch with the family, despite my protests. I kept asking "isn't there a game on somewhere?"

[ContraBass Black]

32. How did today go?

[RevCheesehead]

33. Hi, CB!

Today was fine. Other than my DS (superintendent) dropping in unexpectedly, but he was just there to visit the congregation, not to deliver bad news (like "you're moving.").

And how was YOUR day?

[ContraBass Black]

34. Long story.

How much time do you have on your hands?


Um, what was this thread about?

[RevCheesehead]

35. about NOT watching West Wing.

The Lounge sure seems heated up about it, don't they? :shrug:

[Kali]

31. no television here

[laheina]

36. Don't watch it.

Have only done so twice, during the first season.

[ghostsofgiants]

38. I've never seen an episode in my life.

Now if someone had posted a Lost spoiler, motherfuckers would get hurt, ahha.

:hi:

[Shine]

39. I've never seen 1 episode either.

I've never seen Lost, either. My TV weakness is 24.

:hi:

[WCGreen]

40. Too much happens in one day....

I loved it the first day....

Second day.... Ah...

Third day... Oye Ve....

I watch the Shield and Rescue Me....

And Mysteries of the Bible...

Now that's TV....

[Shine]

43. Mysteries of the Bible, eh?

so what do you think of this whole Judas thing? :shrug:

[WCGreen]

45. I think it makes sense....

I am a big believer in including all material related so that people can decide for themselves what is worth believing in....

Not relying on a political machine using spiritual means to attain and then maintain power...

Constantine was responsible for the modern Bible...

It was his desire to pull Christianity together under one umbrella that cause The Gospel of Thomas, Judas, Mary and others to be put aside....

It was all political...

But if you look at it, in the Judas case, it makes a lot of sense that they both arranged the whole thing ahead of time...

There is speculation that Judas and Jesus were related...

[Shine]

47. Did you ever read The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal?

Really good, hysterically funny. Christopher Moore. Check it out, if you haven't already. You won't be disappointed.

I agree with you about the political aspects of the modern Bible. Makes sense to me...as well as the fact that Jesus and Judas had a special arrangement. One might say karmic, even.

[ghostsofgiants]

41. I watched the first seson of 24 religiously.

Never managed to get back into it after that though. I hardly watch any TV anymore, aside from Lost. (I wish HBO hadn't cancelled Carnivale though. THAT is what TV shows should be.)

[Shine]

42. Yeah, I got into season 1, too, but then I missed a few episodes

and it was hard to catch up. I never got into the other seasons. The advance buzz on this season was so good I decided to try it again and now I'm hooked. Good ole Jack Bauer, that guy can survive anything. :eyes: heheheh.

I haven't heard of Carnivale. Probably b/c we don't have HBO.

I hardly watch TV either. I'd much rather read and/or hang out on DU.

[ghostsofgiants]

44. We don't get HBO up here either, I just downloaded it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnivale

[Shine]

46. Cool, looks like it was an interesting show.

you're so clever. you can download an entire show? wow, who knew.
I'm so lame. :eyes:

[ghostsofgiants]

49. Haha, yep, I have a bunch of series on my hard drive.

It's great.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

48. Haven't watched it since season 2

I don't watch teevee anymore. Worthless crap and 500 channels of it.

[LSK]

50. i dont either

Im sure I'd love it thou.
