I've been really aggravated (and okay, somewhat amused) at the fandom response to "Naka-choko" in the last 24 hours or so, particularly in regards to what happens with Margot and Freddie.  Mainly because so many people don't seem to understand what they're seeing.  (I'm not saying that anyone who has a problem with the episode doesn't understand, ( Read more... )

O ... M ... Gosh, you guys! Hannibal is SO FREAKING GOOD! It's such a novel way of adapting the material - both the novels and the movies - that I'm rather amazed by it.

I mentioned in my other post that there are a lot of winks and nods to iconic lines and images and how I wished they'd do a little less of it. But, as cleolinda pointed out in her most ( Read more... )

I'm really enjoying rewatching The West Wing with the Mark Watches community. It's a little weird to see how people respond to certain characters, though - like, I can understand that Josh might rub some people the wrong way, but it is bizarre to see people hate Sam. Sam??! He's, like, the nice, idealistic baby brother! Probably has something ( Read more... )

I am far, far too excited about Mark Watches The West Wing starting today. I seriously can't even tell you, even here in my own den of fannish insanity where I have held forth on the most seemingly trivial of subjects, how excited I've been for this and for how long, for fear that I will be taken for an actual crazy person. I've been stalking WW ( Read more... )

- Ugh, is it November yet? Honestly, Facebook for me is becoming what the HP Fandom was in the fall of 2004. A really uncomfortable place to be, and you wish there was a way to just filter out all the political stuff so that you could still be friends with your friends. Or still look your family members in the face at Thanksgiving. (While I'd love ( Read more... )

There are a lot of things worth discussing and squeeing about with regards to last night's Doctor Who premiere. But one thing I especially geeked out over was the return of the nanogenes, calling back to Moffat's first DW episode "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances."

I cannot WAIT for next week! Arthur Weasley! Filch! Lestrade looking like some ( Read more... )

Just got around to watching the Glee season finale, and as I was recovering from the fairly spectacular and bittersweet parting of Finchel, I could only think of two things as I watched Rachel arrive all wide-eyed in NYC ( Read more... )

This is the point where I usually give up in hopelessness from being so far behind, but I WON'T DO IT. Yes, Sunday was the Khan anniversary and was when I'd planned to watch that movie - having, in theory, watched all of the Original Series and the first film. But I'm still plugging away at Season 1.

( Arena, The Alternative Factor, Tomorrow Is Yesterday, Return of the Archons, A Taste of Armageddon, and the legendary and Khan-tastic Space Seed )

As usual, the numbers indicate the number of each episode in production order and airing order, respectively.

( The Galileo Seven, Court Martial, The Menagerie, Shore Leave, and The Squire of Gothos )

It's been a relatively slow night at work tonight, and I should have spent it plowing through several more Star Trek episodes, but dangit I read a lovely article about Veronica Mars on the way to work and I was jonesing to watch it instead and before I knew it I'd watched the first five episodes ( Read more... )
