1. Looooooving The Americans again this season. So good. I feel like there's a little too much Stan sometimes (although I do really like Noah Emmerich), and that the Russian embassy scenes can go on a little long. Or maybe I'm just impatient to get back to Philip (Matthew Rhys!) and Elizabeth because I adore them so much. Re: the Russians, I'm ( Read more... )

Can't stop thinking about Cory Monteith. I can't believe he's dead. So sad for his family and friends, and for Lea. I've always had a soft spot for her despite her divaness, and I can only imagine how utterly devastated she is. How is she going to go back to work and play Rachel without him? I really don't know what the show is going to do. (But ( Read more... )

1. Was the Fringe finale satisfying? I'm particularly interested from a Peter/Olivia shipping perspective. I've always said I'd go back and catch up (I've only seen season one), but if the end sucked, maybe not?

2. I should probably watch the latest Glee episode to see if this is addressed, but I was really appalled by Artie and Sam in the previous ( Read more... )

Good morning, all. Hope my Americans had a great Memorial Day. It’s very hot and humid here, which I’m not complaining about. Not yet, anyway. Heh. A few items of business:

1. Question for Bostonians: Is there a store similar to New York City’s Shoe Mania in Boston?

2. So excited for Snow White and the Huntsman! You’d have to pay me to see the ( Read more... )

This week's blog post is on ebooks and the rise of plagiarism. There have been some really interesting (and ballsy!) cases recently.

Naya is fantastic and heartbreaking. Hope Santana will grow and stop being a bully.

A few TV notes:

1. I watched the Ringer pilot last night and quite enjoyed it. Didn't have high expectations, and considering how the pilot had to do a lot of heavy lifting for the concept, I thought it was decent. Ioan gets to have his accent, which is really enough for me! And I do love Smidge. Since Jason Dohring is going to be recurring as the ( Read more... )

Russell Crowe confirmed as Javert in Les Mis. I love the idea of he and Hugh Jackman squaring off as Javert and Valjean acting-wise, but can he sing well enough? Hugh definitely can, and I guess we'll find out if Rusty's got the pipes ( Read more... )

As requested, here are my thoughts.

1. How do you have Cheyenne Jackson guest star multiple times in a season and have him sing 0 times? Meanwhile, Paltrow sang 3893459034 songs? DOES NOT COMPUTE.

1. Very hot teenage sexcapades in fanfiction form if you're looking for a little sumpthin' sumpthin'. The characters are basically OCs, so you don't have to know the fandom to enjoy.

2. Watching Glee finale tonight. I was disappointed when they said they're doing original songs again. "Loser Like Me" was great, but generally I always prefer songs ( Read more... )
