I live for Thursdays when I can get another 30 minute chunk of my current obsession, Mawaru Penguindrum. It's the newest anime from the director of Revolutionary Girl Utena and just like its predecessor, it's made of pure crack with way too much symbolism going on. I watch every new episode twice, trying to pull it apart: is this an allusion to ( Read more... )

I felt better watching Day of the Moon than I did The Impossible Astronaut. It's still chaotic. It's still a mindf*ck.

( Spoilers )

Let's make this gripe short: I was steamed soon after watching the ep. but I've calmed down a bit more and look forward to having some questions resolved in Part 2: Day of the Moon.

The Impossible Astronaut has cemented my hatred for two-parters though. I never realized it before because I just watched the episodes back to back, read copious ( Read more... )

-I recently watched Doctor Who at Comic Relief and I really liked it, up until my stomach got upset by the boys trying to control Amy's mode of dress. D: I miss Eleven and Amy (and Rory) and all their adventures. Nine isn't doing much for me ( Read more... )

For some reason, I haven't talked that much about Community, even though it's my favorite show on television right now-- I've even got Britta Perry repping as my default icon. (She's like me in a lot of ways. Yeah: crikey.) I should probably write a couple of posts about it; it's just that this post is not that post ( Read more... )

( It's the last one so there are **SPOILERS**. Watch the whole of Sherlock first before reading my breakdown. )

I'm recovering from my illness (at least now it feels like my brain is working up to speed) so I haven't yet been able to talk about how BBC Sherlock ate my brain (you know, before the flu did). The end of the (three episode series) has made the world less bright. :(

It was funny. It had so many memorable lines. "Pity. We could've split the fee. ( Read more... )

I spotted Dame Maggie Smith and Michelle Dockery (the striking actress that played Susan Sto Helit from Terry Pratchett's Hogfather, one of my favorite Terry Pratchett characters) in the cast of Downton Abbey and decided to check it out. (Later, I spotted a Pride & Prejudice actress as Isobel Crawley.) It was created by Julian Fellowes, the same ( Read more... )

My Christmas present to myself was watching Misfits, the British television show billed as "Skins meets Heroes." I find that very dead-on actually. Five young adults (they seem late teens/early twenties?) are doing community service for various petty crimes when they are struck by lightning and given superpowers. Like Heroes (or Smallville) they ( Read more... )
