I'm thinking about...

giving up on Castle.

Don't get me wrong. I adore Nathan Fillion and all, but I don't watch the show live (actually, I straight up don't watch anything live and I don't have cable or a TIVO) so that means I use the Internet to do so.

Between my Internet being cursed with tortoise speed and the fact that I really don't feel compelled at all to watch last week's episode, it makes me wonder if the show is worth holding on to.

Is it your Internet that's slow or your actual computer? Hulu Plus became magic once I used the Roku and not my always-doing-ten-tasks laptop to watch shows.

Everything has slowed down to a snail's pace this week. Internet. Computer. All of it.

[spiletta42.livejournal.com]

That really sucks. I assume you've done all the obvious scans and whatnot? If so, I'd call the ISP and ask questions.

[snogged.livejournal.com]

Yep.
I've done all the scans.

I do wonder though if my problem stems from the fact that I only have 512 MB of RAM and my computer is 11 years old.

[spiletta42.livejournal.com]

Could be. You might want to check out a Roku or a WD digital box -- I have one of each, and they're both great. That would take considerable strain off the computer, and would be far cheaper than replacing said computer.

Last week's ep was pretty neat. The dog was super cool. :)

We don't really watch anything live either. Don't like all the commercials.

Seeing the above comment from Spiletta42, I'll second a roku. Also a PS3 or XBox 360 works pretty well, too. We've got a roku in the bedroom and a PS3 in the living room.

I can understand giving up a show you don't actively adore.

I live in a world where I watch everything in short marathons when I have the time. Its a necessity since I have shitty Internet and no DVR.

Castle s4 isn't even something I've considered to start watching for whatever reason.

Sorry to hear the comp is still running so slowly.

The new season of "Castle" starts here tomorrow night.

We have an XBox 360, but you have to purchase XBox Gold in order to watch Netflix. Also, the Netflix that I have is really just for me anyway. Nick doesn't really watch any of the things I pick for my Instant choices and he's the one with control of the XBox. Also, Nick doesn't watch Castle with me either. It's one of four shows I watch that he isn't interested in.

[snogged.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm pretty bummed about my computer problems right now. They suck.

[snogged.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[snogged.livejournal.com]

Makes sense.

I'd miss Castle very much. I watch it online too, but to me it'sstill worth of doing it.

[spiletta42.livejournal.com]

I've been thinking about this. A sudden slowdown that's not a virus or other malware could very well be a symptom of your RAM going bad. It's a fairly cheap and simple do-it-yourself type repair. I hope something works for you, computer issues can be really draining.

Castle is one of the shows I'm torn about. I have enjoyed most of the episodes I have watched, but I have SO MANY that I haven't that I'm finding it really hard to catch up.

[snogged.livejournal.com]

I would say...it is and it isn't.
I feel like it's a show I can go for awhile without seeing and then catch up with it later.

[snogged.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping to get more RAM soon.
We're also getting a new router.

[snogged.livejournal.com]

I've enjoyed quite a number of episodes too.
