Today I am (finally) watching the season finale of Hawaii Five-O. It has sat on my DVR all summer, waiting patiently for me to watch it. And it's not because I know what happens and have been "spoiled". You can't really "spoil" a for me, it's not the plot that makes a show good, its the execution. Knowing what's going to happen won't ruin show for me, because is all in how that plot is played out that makes a show good. It's why I can watch a show more than once.
No, see the reason I haven't watched it yet is that once I do, then it's done. I'd have to wait all summer for a new episode, for the conclusion to the cliffhanger. It's different, you see, when I have a saved episode to watch or when I have a couple of episodes to watch.
I tend to get a little wrapped up in the shows when I actually watch them -- ask any poor soul who's every been forced to watch them with me. Because of that, I like watching a show best when I have two or three episodes watch -- this is especially true with shows that have a major over-arching storyline. I used to do the same damn thing with 24, saving up episodes so I could watch them all in a row without the annoying wait between episodes.
Then, for some reason, waiting a month or so until I have another set of episodes to watch doesn't bother me. I mean, in reality I've gone all summer without a new Hawaii Five-0 episode, but having an unseen episode on the DVR made it seem less stressful.
Hey, I never claimed to make sense.
Oh, and since I've already admitted to this craziness: I still have the last four episodes of last season's Castle to watch. They aren't going to get viewed before tonight's premiere, though. I am watching Castle with Myr and my mom and it's extremely difficult to find a time when it's possible for all of us to get together and watch the show.
