Random stuff

While I was sick, I was watching the first season of Numb3rs. I like, I like! I ♥ Larry, and Charlie, and Don, and Alan. I love how Charlie and Larry relate everything in the world to maths and physics. The science geek in me is squeeing at how much of the science is correct (if sometimes oversimplified). (Ionizing radiation! Electron orbits! Binary data envisaged as millions of coins flipping head or tails!)

So yesterday, I tried to find the second season on DVD, and I couldn't find it anywhere. So I finally resorted to ordering it from Amazon, but that means I have to wait weeks before I can watch season 2. Wah!

In other news, I have decided that my favourite Tim Tams are Double Coated and the new Honeycomb Crunch (thanks to sallymn for pointing out its existence).

Whee!!!! Isn't S1 of N3 just the greatest?

I will warn you that there were some unexpected changes in S2, but I got used to them and have come to love the additional characters. S2 has some really, really solid stuff in it, but just don't be too thrown by some of the changes.

As for the science and math being accurate . . . that's one of the things the show (and its science and math consultants) pride themselves on. :-)

ETA: Tim Tams are very yummy. One of my favorite things that Geo brought back from his trip Down Under. (My mostest fave thing was the opal pendant he brought me.)

I love Numb3rs! *huggles all the pretty smart people* And when you get into S3/S4, you can read Izh and Felicia's fic! Which is wonderful. I have yet to try my own hand at writing N3 fic, but I know there's a really funny SG-1 crossover in there somewhere. Probably more than one.

Oh, I'm so glad you're enjoying Numb3rs. I love it, but I'm never quite sure which of my friends will also see the love (usually it's the geeks, but they have to like mysteries, too).

And isn't Larry just wonderful? I have the biggest crush on him. Not even joking.

The Eppes family dynamics, too, make the show stand out.

(I have to second Felicia's caution about season 2--there are some unexpected bumps in the road and cast changes, but nothing to disturb the people you mentioned by name in your post. Just saying that if you hit a few eps that seem odd or sub-par, hang on. It only gets better.

Something as good as the honeycomb Tim Tams needs to be shared... :)

Geeks Rule! I love Numb3rs too.

Well, it's about time! :D Yay for Larry-love!!!

So. I'm hoping that the fact you said, "While I was sick" means that you're feeling better now, yes?

And, er... if you're looking for Numb3rs fic, you could now read Apparition (http://mistraltoes.livejournal.com/222255.html), which is set at some indeterminate point in the first two seasons. I'd love to know whether you think I got the voices right.

But again, yay for watching Numb3rs!
