					<description>About starting 24: 

If you're just want to see Leland, then I guess you could just pick up now. Though I can't promise Leland will stay in the cast--characters on this show tend to die. Or kind of die. And then die. It's hard to explain.

Maybe save it on your TiVo and I'll come watch it with you, with frequent pauses for expository smoke breaks? There is a LOT of 24 canon, but luckily each season being 24 hours, there is a bit less than I guess there could be.

Also, some of the earlier seasons are largely irrelevant, except as background. You could TVWP them (if you had lots of time) or I could give you a basic run-down.  

Though I will say:  the show is GREAT. It is frustrating and intoxicating and does totally make you want to jump out of your skin with impatience. Last season was kind of 'enh,' and I was really more ambivilant about the start of this season. But the show seems to have gotten back on track--in part because of some serious guest stars (Julian Sands and Sean Astin to name just two) and in part because they shocked the shit out of the audience in episode 1 and haven't bothered to stop yet.

So, pretty much, if you're only going to watch one season?  This is a good one.

And also, Richard?  TOTALLY blog about this Big Love show. Pretty please!</description>

					<description>I've watched about ten minutes of it, all told, and found it too creepy to be enjoyable.  It doesn't appeal to me on any level, personally.  However, The Boyf is watching it, so you should pester him to post about it.  I would enjoy reading what he writes about it even if I don't enjoy the show.  :)</description>

					<description>Yes and yes. He is Veep and he gets lots of face time (probably because he is a slimy li'l weasel).

How is that Big Love show? You need to post about it, as there is only so much bad television one person can watch.

And I had a great time on Saturday, too.  It was so lovely just to hang out, and the hard work was totally worth it--felt like we were really DOING something, y'know?  :)  Thank you so much for sharing that experience! We will have to do it again.</description>

					<description>Wait a second - Leland is the Veep?  Does he get a lot of face-time?

It's also worth noting that Sarah Palmer, Laura's mom, is the main character's mother in the polygamy show, &lt;i&gt;Big Love&lt;/i&gt;.  

Also, I had a &lt;i&gt;fabulous&lt;/i&gt; time going up on Saturday to help out.  I really, really appreciated the opportunity to do something in return, and I had a lot of fun doing so!</description>
