Have been feeling braindead and thus watching and reading Skip Beat(*) which I've really enjoyed. Thankyou to whoever recced it to me. Here's a nice unspoilery rec explaining why it's awesome. Plus there's a very nice central het ship and a non-canon-but-very-subtexty femslash ship both of which are also fun ( Read more... )

Have you ever had a really strong memory of scene from a book or movie, but on rewatching/reading, it didn't happen ( Read more... )

And I didn't think it was that original. (nb I am feeling pretty zonked, but if I don't write this now I'll forget)

EDIT: While we're talking theft of lines, from supernatural ep "Something Wicked" (paraphrase)
Dean: Has this thing struck before?
Sam: Yes, in Ogdenville, North Haverbrook...

So, several years ago one of Swancon's guests was the Doctor Who author Kate Orman. I didn't pay that much attention because you know, I don't like Dr Who *cough*, but she seemed pretty cool and I think we may have had a nice conversation at some point (it was a long time ago, and my brain leaks ( Read more... )

So, the latest show I got out from Quickflix was "Bleak House", the BBC adaptation of the Dickens novel. It's pretty good so far, apart from the rather distracting "OMGTENSION" music stings at random, really not very tense momentsAnyway, going in I knew Gillian Anderson was in it, which I found mildly amusing but I know she's been going a lot of ( Read more... )

Huh. That was...very...um. I enjoyed it, anyway :)

EDIT: I woke up at 4am this morning with a tummy bug or something and haven't been back to sleep. Do not expect coherence :)

OMG

Also three separate things I'd thought "It would be really cool if the show did *blah*, but they totally won't" at three totally separate times during the last four seasons: and they did them! Woot! Continuity FTW!

It was a bit overblown, really, but I forgive them for that. That cliffhanger, however...

My overall reaction to "Turn Left" is OMGWANTNEXTEPISODE. Also I guess it answers the "where are all the asians?" question: On planet Asia! Being really asian! (I'm sure Serenity would have made a pit stop there too eventually)

So, I've just finished all the season 4 Dr Who episodes I had (there's one more on the way, and then I'm back to waiting like an ordinary person. The indignity!) and to fill the gap downloaded every single recced Dr Who vid on the_reel (but not the latest Torchwood one) and thefourthvineIn retrospect, while it was convenient, it was a bad idea to ( Read more... )
