Numb3rs: mid-way through season two (The O.G.)

[butterfly]

Because watching television is my healthy way of coping with stress.

There really has been some very interesting stuff with siblings recently -- I don't remember television having so many great sib-pairs in the past, though my knowledge pre-Joss can be limited. What are the great television sib-pairs pre-Simon and River (because I would so be all over watching older stuff with great sib-work)?

So, I adore the Eppes brothers (and I like father Eppes considerably more than his counterpart on Supernatural, though daddy Winchester is hotter), but I'm also really enjoying the other quirky characters. Larry is a delight (particularly in this thing that appears to be happening with Megan -- I hope they take that drive together soon!), I love that Megan and Colby seem to appreciate Charlie's number thing more than... the chick in the first season. What was her name? I remember that her actress was Sabrina Lloyd, but I am blanking on the character name. Anyway, it's cute how they'll let him go on even when they do get what he's talking about (I'm thinking mostly about Megan in Toxin). They really do seem to like him, which is all kinds of nice.

I mostly like Amita, though I don't love her after she made Charlie get all sad eyes on us. Still, she is played by Dana the Vampire Slayer, so I have faith in the actress.

I have also now developed a total crush on Agent David Sinclair (Alimi Ballad). Has his actor been in anything else fannishly-known? I'm sure that I've read his name somewhere.

You have no idea how happy I am that there is a Vampire Slayer called Dana, even if she's clearly insane.

It shows how something very little can make me immensely happy.

Hey, even if she was insane, she was totally cool!

[danamaree.livejournal.com]

But Dana the Vampire Slayer! I never let anyone forget that ;)

I really liked Simon and Simon. I can't think of any others off the top of my head right now. Hm.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Ah, that's a good one. I think that I saw scattered episodes of it.

Alimi Ballad played on Dark Angel. I forget the characters name but he
played a Jamaican Bike messenger.

That must be where I know his name from (I never actually watched DA, but several people on my flist did). Thank you!

Alimi Ballard was in Dark Angel.

Besides Simon and Simon, the only brother show I can think of at the moment was The Hardy Boys. Oh, a real oldie, Here Come the Brides, with the Bolt brothers. That's all I've got for now.

Thank you!

There definitely seem to be more brothers shows these days. But maybe they're just more noticeable. I must go forth and do more research!

Well, going way back - "Bonanza" (although, that's hard to count given the situation) and "The Big Valley", especially given the wierd fraughtness of the 1st episode.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Both of those appear to be available on dvd. I'll have to add them to my netflix queue at some point (right now I'm... hitting the 500 item limit).

*hugs*

I'd watch Dark Angel with you!

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a plan! If we can find the time with all the other stuff we're watching.

[jic]

*snerk* Yeah.

I'm just so glad to see you joining us in Numb3rs land! It's not the biggest fandom around, so it's great to see someone getting into it. No matter how cracktastically lame they can get, I still love them.

I actually like Amita quite a lot, though, yeah, some of that may have to do with how incredibly much I loved Dana. My love for that character was kind of off the charts, and a lot of it had to do with how well she played it.

I'm really enjoying Numb3rs (though I keep waiting to type Numbers and have to correct myself mid-stream).

Dana was very kick-ass. She was only in one episode, but she's my second-favorite Slayer (Buffy does remain firmly in the #1 position).

I am always vaguely in awe of how you manage to devote so much passiona nd energy to so many different shows! We were vaguely in sync up till about Dr. Who and I'm suddenly woefully behind. ;)

Sibling shows...Um. I feel like I've got one at the tip of my tongue or the back of my mind but it isn't coming to me. I'll let you know if I remember it.

I know! I keep adding more and more and you'd think that I would run out of love! But it replenishes itself somehow. And then there is more love!
