Taskmaster s17e2 -- No particular seismic shifts in this episode, but of course I'm still enjoying the experience. ( More, with spoilers )

I watched the first half of the Netflix Avatar the Last Airbender live action adaptation. So far, I have to confess I don't understand the people hating on it. Is it as good as the original? Well, to be honest, season 1 of the original is also not its best part -- but I don't think it's as charming or engaging as season 1 of the cartoon. But it's a ( Read more... )

I read a thing! Two things, even!

2. Deadly Ever After by Ben Aaronovitch and Andrew Cartmel (RoL GN #10) -- joins The Fey and the Furious as an emminently skippable outing, at least for my interests. I preorder these books so I don't forget about them, and when this one arrived, I read through the first chapter and then set it aside with nothing ( Read more... )

18. Jim Butcher, Peace Talks -- Well, that was certainly... not really a book. :/ I mean, I went in knowing, from Butcher's Comic Con @ Home panel, that it was the first half of a complete story and that it ended on a cliffhanger, and from

The Hugo packet is out and voting is open (I continue to be so impressed with how on-the-ball Dublin is, after San Jose. Also, I really like this voting interface -- it's so much more intuitive and user friendly!) Anyway, that seems like a good time to do a delayed (and paltry) reading roundup:
