Stupid WB
So next Monday and Tuesday, when I'll probably still be home to babysit the vcr, the WB is airing Hug and Kinetic, both of which I have nice clean copies of in their proper order on the proper tape. The 26th and 27th, when I will definitely not be home, they're showing Reaper and Drone... in that order. Backfuckingasswards. And of course the copy of Reaper I have is screwed up and incomplete, and I don't have Drone at all.
After tearing my hair and racking my brain, I figured out a way to get the two eps to record in the right order on the right part of the tape... but to get them to do that, I'll have to tape over FarScape, SG-1 and Brimstone from Friday night. Not that I keep tapes of the first two (unless there's exceptionally slashy bits, in which case I tape the relevant sections onto a slashiness mixed tape during the rebroadcast), but I do like to at least watch them.
And as for Brimstone...
Stupid Sci-Fi
So Sci-Fi started showing Brimstone from the beginning, the weekend before last. Yay, etc., since I hadn't seen but two whole eps from late in the run plus bits and pieces from (I'm guessing) mid-season. Got my copy of the pilot, watched with gusto, played it for D (who's much more amenable to the Brimstone love than the Smallville love thus far, though I'll keep at him), watched it again for good measure.
Then, this past weekend, they aired another ep... but it wasn't #2. It's from somewhere in the mysterious middle. WTF?? Why bother to start the new run with the pilot if you're just going to run them out of order? Why bother running them out of order at all, when you've only got 13 damn eps to work with anyhow?
Arrgh. At least with the bassackwards Brimstone broadcasting I have recourse to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

This isn't a GIP, but I did feel like changing my icon, and there it is.
