tenayaOne lone raccoon snuck up and ate some kibble tonight! He seemed cautious but not particularly worried about dog smell, so that's good. Also, it's supposed to rain for the next 4 or 5 days so maybe that will take care of the doggy smell even faster (not to mention maybe make for some cold, wet and hungry raccoons.)
Also, I've spent the last couple of nights burning dvds of all the programs that have piled up on tivo in preparation for Alias Smith and Jones marathon on New Year's Day. I have to work that night, so I'm going to have leave most of them on and make dvds the next day, but still it's for a wonderful cause! :->
I find that many times I have one episode of many series and they are going hodgepodge on the dvd disks.
Without A Trace --Suspect.
Dead Zone--Cabin Pressure.
Forever Knight--Ashes to Ashes.
Andromeda--Day of Judgement, Day of Wrath.
Now and Again--There Are No Words.
And that last Boston Legal--Hired Guns.
The biggest chunk that will have to be weeded out is the 20 episodes of Stargate that I have on there. Even though I have all the DVDS, I just can't do without some on the Tivo. Essentials are:
Legacy, There But for the Grace of God, Dead Man Switch, Crystal Skull, Chimera.
Ones that I'm going to have to probably delete are: The Light, Fallen, Point of View, Shades of Grey, Evolution #2, The Tomb. These all have a great moment or two, but are they worth staying on Tivo?? I think maybe The Light will have to stay.
Then there are the S8s, of which I have 8 of them; I've apparently already deleted Covenant and Sacrifices. I suppose New Order will have to go and Zero Hour. I really want to keep Lockdown and Affinity. Avatar and Icon has some good bits, too. End Game I like for the Daniel and Jack scenes towards the end.
Looking over the first group, I see an engaging script and episodes that have personal interaction between the characters (except for Dead Man Switch which I like for Aris Bock and how he makes each of SG-1 react.)
The second group may have good scripts, but they lack a certain emotional payoff. Evolution has Jack rescuing Daniel but it's too quick. In the Tomb, I love that moment when Daniel stands up to meet Jack and draw his attention while Sam and Teal'c assertain whether Jack has been goa'ulded--I love his breathy little "hi", but maybe not enough to keep on Tivo. For POV, it's that moment when Daniel is revealed to be captured by the Jaffa and Jack must lay down his weapon. Fallen has naked Daniel (huzzah!) but also that moment when Jack sees Daniel for the first time and his knees nearly give out from the shock of it. Shades of Grey is quite intense but there's a brutality to it that makes it hard to watch.
I guess then that I should probably find Lockdown and Avatar to have 'legs' for rewatching because of the character interaction. Affinity should go, but Daniel is in handcuffs and is valued for his abilities and that is rare, rare, RARE in the SG universe! I like Icon but it's not really a SG episode (but it does have Jack being worried and persistent about getting Daniel back.)
What to do, what to do?

Date: 2004-12-27 07:47 am (UTC)I'm very excited, as if you can't tell!
I do have the SG dvds, but like what you mentioned about your computer, it's just so nice to have those immediate files ready. And it is daft to angst over episodes that are accessible within a few minutes. I guess it's like a quick fix of my favorite 'drug.' How many episodes do you have on your computer? That sounds like a cool thing though I've not tried to do anything like that on this computer.

Date: 2004-12-27 04:58 pm (UTC)Yay! I think you may be right about the rain, too. Maybe coon treats would help....as if you needed any encouragement to put those out anyway ;-)
Hope you had a nice Xmas.
