Best Show on TV

Okay, people I know in real life need to watch Veronica Mars. Because last night’s season finale? Amazing. And I want to talk to people about it so badly it hurts. I mean, I’m talking with online people, which is cool, and I watched it with some online-friends-turned-real-life-friends, but when I get obsessed about stuff, I want to share it with everybody I know, and I know exactly two people at church who watch it.

Mark, did you see it last night?

March Reading/Watching Recap

I’m a month behind again! Hey, I’ve been putting more effort into watching and reading than writing. (No, really. I’ve been busting through my goals pretty well this year. I’m practicing for grad school, when I hear I’ll have half as much time to do twice as much work. We’ll see.)

Also, some day I’m going to write about something other than movies and books. Really. I promise.

Reactions, not reviews, blah blah blah jaffacakes.

ABC Ramps Up Internet TV

Heck, yeah. Finally some TV studios are getting the point.

ABC launches free online streaming TV shows. [via Gizmodo]

Here’s ABC’s entry page for streaming episodes. Right now they’ve got Lost, Desperate Housewives, Alias, and Commander in Chief available. I flipped through a little…looks like they’ve got all the S5 Alias episodes, the last three Desperate Housewives, and just the latest Lost. I wonder if they’ll tend to move toward having them all available, or just the latest one? If it were me, my model would be to have the latest episode available for free streaming for a week, and then charge a fee to watch earlier ones…perhaps $0.99 to stream an episode and $1.99 to download it (without commercials of course). That would keep with the current iTunes/GoogleVideo price point, but also have a cheaper option for one-time viewing.
