Yay, Arctic Air has been renewed for another season. This pleases me greatly. (But I agree with whoever on my flist mentioned it: they have exploited the planecrash-in-the-wilderness trope sufficiently and are not allowed to use it again for an entire season. :P)
Since I'm wishing for stuff, it'll be nice if they stop pushing Bobby/Christa but I suspect that hope will be in vain. (While Bobby and Shontal create sparks simply by sharing a screen.)

In other news I caved and ordered those stilts. Should've done it a day earlier, then they'd be here before the weekend.

How is Arctic Air? I watched the first episode but was bored. Is it worth picking up again?

[astridv]

I haven't watched the first two eps yet so I don't know about those, but I'd definitely say it catches up over the course of the short season. They're doing interesting plotlines about the community and the business of keeping the airline afloat, and I find most of the characters really interesting.

Ep 3 was the first I watched and I was rolling my eyes a bit at some of the cliches in the plot, but somehow the ep did something with it, and by the end I was smiling all over my face. Which had a lot to do with Adam Beach. I watched the early eps for Adam Beach. Heh. (I got to get me that season of L&O where he's in...)

I subscribe to all your thoughts. I'm so glad it's been renewed.

Yeah, I'm not super fannish about that show (good thing because there are, like, six stories altogether and half of them are Bobby/Christa so that would be frustrating) but I'd have been quite bummed had they cancelled it. The numbers seem to be pretty strong though, even if you don't hear a lot about it in fannish circles.

I'm SUPER interested to hear about your experience with the stilts. I've been showing the vids to a bunch of my friends, and we're fascinated, but all really kind of afraid of hurting ourselves.

I'll let you know how it goes. Looks like they won't get here before Wednesday, sigh... I'm itching to try them now. I already found someone else my size who wants to try them so that's cool, we can take turns and support each other during those first wobbly steps. We plan to start on a lawn instead of asphalt, just in case.
