Walter

I have an essay due yesterday, still in the process of writing it, unfortunately its going nowhere as I have started the second season of "In Treatment." This show is supremely addictive, I'm not kidding, I think I've watched about 4 hours of it in a ROW.

Seriously, watching this show has either always want me to become a therapist or have him as MY therapist. Paul (aka Gabriel Byrne) is my hero, really, FUCK SUPERMAN. Paul is probably the best therapist anyone could ever have, but like all of us, he's just human and have to go through the same drama that we go through everyday. Which is all revealed in his therapy sessions with Gina. Its like, he's so awesome for the first 4 episodes with his patients, then you see him going to therapy and suddenly he's flawed (swoon). 

You guys should really start watching this show, you will learn so much about human behavior and emotion from just watching it. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND EVERYONE TO WATCH THIS, HIGHLY! I grade it: "A (motherfucking) PLUS!"

So, last season, each different sessions is on different days from Monday to Friday, so you can pick and choose which person you want to follow. Now, the show is cramped on Sunday and Monday, its a bit much on two days, but I have already a favorite character besides the therapist. His name is Walter and I heart him. Walter (real name Tom Mahoney) is a CEO of a multi-conglomerate company and he went in with issues of insomnia, but little did we know that he also has issues of panic attacks. I can totally relate as I am also a CEO of a multi-billionaire company. Ha. Ha. Ha...

Any of you already watching this show? Which character do you like best? And why?

A shout out for HBO: I love you. HIRE ME PLEASE! I don't mind if you want to send me to the middle of nowhere in Louisiana for the shooting of "True Blood." I'll do it! I'm about to graduate and like everyone else, I want to have a job that I would somewhat enjoy working in. I would truly appreciate a free internship or I can always be your HBO whore (well I already am) and write nice and fluffy things about your shows. Think about it. Please.

In Treatment is up again on in my HBO OnDemand. I'm going to try to finish the season before they take it off all of the sudden. This probably will cause a lack of postings for today. 

Also, HBO is having a new show called "The No. 1 Detective Agency" based on a book by Alexander McCall Smith. Yes, I bought the book. I'm going to try this whole reading the book first before watching the shows. I don't even know if that's just plain awesome or extremely awesome that I'm doing such activities. You decide. Its going to premiere this Sunday, March 29 at 8pm, so I'm trying to finish it in 2 days. This will be a short 7 episode series because the director/producer died before finishing the whole season's production. If I'm not mistaken, I hope I'm not mistaken because that would be a horrible thing to say. Uh, Jill Scott plays the lead character, I hope that's good news. 

On a sadder note, Flight of the Conchords is done forever. The second season was their last season they are ever going to make, but you can still catch them on their U.S. tour starting in April. Also, now all members of the Conchords are married. Let's now take a minute of silence.

The Season 2 DVD's is going to be released on August 4th on American soil, so let's be a bit patient. Here's a video of them that I haven't posted before:

(Can I please be freaky with you? PLEASE?)

WHY?

I LOVE the show "In Treatment." I particularly love Blair Underwood, because he is F-I-N-E! (who cares if he has fictional emotional problems, come talk to me all you want darling [preferably shirtless], i'm READY to listen). But HBO has done something that might jeopardize my relationship with Mr. Underwood, they have decided to push the release date of In Treatment into FALL 2009! WTF?! THE ATROCITY! I have been PATIENTLY waiting for this DVD release since October 2008, OCTOBER people! And even during October, Amazon.com announced that it was going to be released on March 24 2009. I was hoping that this could potentially be my birthday present (as my birthday is on the March 30th), but THANKS HBO, NOW YOU HAVE TO RUIN MY BIRTHDAY... 

What's that? Why don't I search for it on Youtube and OVguide? bitches PLEASE! I have been searching high and low everywhere for these precious episodes, but was only able to find 5-7 episodes of each patients (even though I never cared about Laura, girl fell in love WITH the therapist, i know... WHAT? that's just a vicious cycle waiting to happen.) But, if any of you lovely readers manage to find the full first season, please give me some tips. 

Why don't I just subscribe to HBO you say? I DO HAVE HBO! Then why didn't you watch it? ............ uh........I'm ashamed to admit this, but the concept of the show didn't interest me much at that time (and I'm a psychology major, more shame to me). So, I never got around to watch it, even though 2 friends insisted that it was good. It was until a 3rd friend told me to watch it, and i guess at that moment I caved in the name of peer-pressure. At this time, HBO has removed all the episodes in their "On Demand" channel, forcing me to watch through Youtube (nothing wrong with that). I do recommend you all to watch the first (partial) episodes here: 

Laura

Alex

Sophie

Jake & Amy

Gina

I'm not asking for the moon/rainbows/unicorns here, I'm just asking HBO to kindly put the episodes back as a part of their "On Demand" and we'll all be happy. Since you only release DVDs right before the new season starts, then I have a feeling that the second season will start in Winter of 2009. If you pushed the release date till Fall, this means that you STILL HAVEN'T STARTED SHOOTING 2ND SEASON?! WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME? GO DO IT NOW! and don't give me that economic recession bullcrap, YOUR BUDGET COST IS CHEAP BECAUSE THE SET ONLY CONSISTS OF ONE ROOM! ok... calm down... deep breaths.... sigh, if any of you see any updates on this show, I guess leave a comment. 

Now I look as sad as Gabriel Byrne (the therapist pictured in the poster). 

Verdict: Definitely COMMIT to this show. Especially if you do have "problems."
