Depressing back-to-depressing,-depressing-work week, completely unerholt apparently; bad period, and yesterday it snowed again with temperatures back below zero. 'Sick and tired' doesn't even begin to cover it. Gah. Gah.

List all of the television shows you have on DVD, no matter how obscure or embarrassing. Even if you only own one season, list it. Let's see who has what!

Babylon 5: complete, except for the pilot and films, which I've always been meaning to buy, but somehow never got around to.
Torchwood: complete
Doctor Who: complete New Who + City of Death and Genesis of the Daleks
Angel: complete
Buffy: complete
Firefly: complete + Serenity
Smallville S1-5*
Andromeda: S1-3 + the bits of S4 that still had Tyr in it
QaF:UK: complete
Bob and Rose, if that counts as a TV show
Life on Mars (UK): complete
Hornblower, if that counts
Due South: the RayK season(s)
Battlestar Galactica: complete
Rome: S1*
Farsacpe S1-3
ST:DS9 S1*
Oz: S1, watched the rest on YouTube & found it too depressing to actually justify buying the DVDs.

* vaguely intending to continue, but something shinier & newer was always... shinier and newer. And in the case of SV I'm mostly just too afraid to get my heart (even more) broken by Lex's arc.

Because it fits the season: Кино, Апрель/Kino, April

There's frost on the ground
Everything's been touched by ice,
I hear the music of thawing snow dripping only in my dreams
It snows heavily like a wall
And it snows all day,
And behind that wall, there's April.

And he comes, and he'll bring Spring with him,
And he'll scatter the army of grey clouds,
And when we all look into his eyes,
His melancholy eyes will look back at us.
House doors will be opened,
It's no good if you keep standing, you'd better sit down..
And when we all look into his eyes,
We'll see the sun's light in those eyes... [...]

1) We've got a lot of shows in common. I haven't yet seen any Who (I just watched Torchwood start to finish, and I'm starting it again), I only watched Andromeda casually and occasionally, I did the US version of QaF, I've got no idea who Bob and Rose are, and I just added Life on Mars to my Netflix Queue. Yes to everything else (including walking away from Smallville because of Lex).

2) That song is glorious; thank you for posting it.

3) I wish I had more to offer for depressing circumstances than distraction (in the form of interaction), but maybe distraction will help.

Everyone else owns so much more than me! Ah well...

Dunno how much you've been around, but rm has brilliant thoughts from Galligrey One about Ianto here: There's a cyberwoman in the basement! - or, What Happened on the Character Death Panel at Gally, and there's a new community I think you'll love: letiantorest. :)

You should keep watching Rome. I loved that show.
