Intro

Geez, do I have to?

Well, I guess I do, if I want someone to understand the purpose of this new blog anyway. I've made so many introductions to blogs already, that I don't know where to start if I want to avoid repeating myself.
The truth is this is a blog that will be entirely dedicated to TV series - mostly american, but you never know. These shows are my newest obsession. Oh, you may think it's healthy, but it's not. I recently realized I use these to escape a little bit from reality. Let's face it, life sucks. Big time. And if you find something that can cover up the holes that are opening up little by little, well, you should probably analize whether it would be a good thing to use it or not (call it alcohol, drugs, sex, tv, cutting yourself, whatever); in my case, series do it. Sitcoms, dramas, anything goes. After all, what's the point? What's the point of trying, of really living, anymore?
However, I guess there's really no escaping from it. Reality. What a bitch, it's everywhere. You can give up on it but it will not go away. No, no, it's still hanging around, waiting to stab you with it's invisible (yet very painful) knife. And I'm saying this because the truth is these shows always end up reflecting something that is directly connected to reality. There's always some fucking dialog, an implication, a narration, description, image, or whatever you want to call it that will show you the reality you're trying so hard to get away from.

So, that's what this blog is going to be about: what these shows have to give us that is connected to reality. Well, reality (just like everything else) is quite subjective, so whatever I post here will be related to my reality, and what affects it. And yes, they will surely be incomplete - I'd have to watch each episode of every show at least five times to catch all the wonderful things they are trying to say. After all, they're art. So, I'll go around shows I like, detecting things I like, and posting them here (sometimes including photos of the moment, if possible or applicable), which are most likely going to be quotes.

I'll allow the reader to enjoy and feel welcome on their own, as I will hardly ever make any comment on what I'm posting. My relation to it is implicit after all. Oh, and I do hope the visuals help (headers, links, and all that's coming really soon) get the message through.

That's it! I'll probably start off by doing a special on a few episodes from HBO's Six Feet Under, my latest obsession (but not my only one, a full list of the series I'm watching will be posted soon together with links).

I hope you like it.
