Question of the week #30

[treonb]

Four more days to go until more show! So, for this week's question, I made a little vid:

"The Americans - coming back this Wednesday!" (Watch on YouTube)

And the question this week: How excited are you? 

You can expect spoilers for the entire first season in the comments.

(There's no expiration date on these questions, so if you're reading this post months later and feel like jumping in, please do.)

I am very excite :P

And haaaaaaaaaa that is an AWESOME fanvid! :D

I marathoned the first season this weekend! And having re-watched it, the plot arcs I'd like to see resolved are how Phillip and Elizabeth handle their reconciliation amid "Clark's" false marriage to Martha, while Nina juggles her double-agenthood between Arkady and Stan.

Since Claudia apparently got replaced, I'd like to see if P & E have exchanged a rocky working relationship for a smoother one, or if they've just gotten an even crappier superior officer out of tbe deal.

And the kids! Does Paige suspect the truth at all? And will Matthew date her or not? :P

I'm looking forward to it, but the only thing that will mean I will watch it each week instead of as a lump at the end (or at least some weeks in) is discussing it here.

So the answer is currently 'not very' sorry!, but it depends on the quality.

House of Cards 2014 managed to exceed my high expectations. I don't have those for this, so if it is better than series one, I may well get more excited to see the rest...

I feel about Wednesday night the way Canadian hockey fans felt about this morning. :)

P.S. So much love for you over that vid. HEEEE.

[sistermagpie]

That video was awesome and made me giggle uncontrollably.

I'm currently in the anxiety-stage. I've checked my TiVo several times to make sure it's scheduled, but now I'm worried that the cable will go out and I'll somehow be out and it won't tape. Or it'll go out moments before so I'll have to reboot and miss the first few precious minutes. Or I'll get hit by a bus before it starts. Or kidnapped by fake FBI-agents who hit me with a phone book between 10-11 on Wednesday.

So many things could go wrong!

[jae]

That is...freaking adorable. I'm sorry. ;)

[treonb]

Gotta watch out for those fake FBI agents ;-)

[sistermagpie]

It's not paranoia if they really are coming after you with phone books.

I am so excited! The episode airs on Thursday afternoon Australian time and I've arranged to work from home that day so I can watch it as soon as possible!

[sistermagpie]

I love that you're doing that!

[jae]

Okay, that is just awesome! Go, georgley!

I'm really excited!! I feels like it's been forever (and the DVDs just got released this month? I expected them to be out in, like, July or sooner than February) and I want more.

I'm excited to have people to discuss this with too! Though, I might be a bit late with my responses (after this week, I probably won't be able to watch when it airs and I like to double check things, so I download whenever iTunes uploads it). Last season, I didn't really have anyone to discuss it with, which was disappointing.

I'm curious to see SPOILEROlegSPOILER and who their new handler will be

[jae]

I'm so glad you'll be joining us this season! Don't worry about coming in a few days late--that's no problem at all.

So excited I can barely believe it's here! So ready to see more open loving feelings between P/E as that was what I loved about the first half of the season and what I missed in the second, despite feeling the journey they made there was important too.

And completely thrilled that all the spoilers that have leaked out so far spell the promise of great material to be explored this season!

I'm sooo looking forward to this it is my most anticipated show of 2014 :)) I loved that fanvid!! It reminded me a bit of those old Hitler Angry/Rant Spoof Videos cuz of the subtitles thing.

I have university o-week this week and i totally scheduled myself so that I would have Thursday free but I got a late-notice invite to a welcome lunch for my degree and I feel the need to socialise and meet people and make friends. why do we have to choose between tv and real life. the struggle is real my friends.

I can't wait to see the discussion here right after the episode. I don't really want to set my expectations too high because I'm easily disappointed but gosh these reviews and spoilers make it so hard not to just be absolutely giddy with excitement.

Yaay! I'm really excited, obviously. Have a busy TV week ahead in general: http://emmerrrrrrr.tumblr.com/post/77424645158/9-tv-reasons-to-look-forward-to-week-9-there-will But this is definitely the highlight. I love that video, lol.
I'm just really looking forward to the episodes. Even though I've read a lot of discussion about season 2, I still have no idea what to expect from the premiere in terms of actual events (and I've tried to avoid that). So it will be nice to just sit back and let it happen. Wait, did I say sit back? I meant at the end of my seat. And afterwards it will be fun to see people's reactions and analysis. Last season I read the weekly reviews at the AV Club, and I'll definitely do that again this year in addition to following this dreamwidth community.

Two more days (three for me but that's okay)!
