I hope to have more of a substantial update someday in the not too distant future, but for now, I just wanted to express my delight at discovering, upon starting back in earnest on All Creatures Great and Small, that they've added a new character in the fourth season who has a Scottish accent, and who speaks Russian very briefly in his second ( Read more... )

I don't know *how* I forgot that Mark Hamill voiced Zuko's father, but he keeps Joker laughing in this episode I'm rewatching now ("Nightmares and Daydreams"), which is making an already surreal episode all the more so.  This adds so many layers of weird to the fact that he also voiced Tony Zucco in The Batman, which, when I watched it earlier this ( Read more... )

1) I just love William Daniels so much...!  And he makes me love John Adams so much that I always end up largely ignoring how brilliant Ken Howard is as Thomas Jefferson.

I can't even talk about what I just watched because The Feels are all over the place and are preventing my brain from working ( Read more... )

Um...okay...so...this kept happening to my brain during my Hunger Games reread this week:

4/26/12: I am stickying this so I can update the book list with reviews as I finish them.  That way, maybe I'll actually READ them instead of stacking them up and forgetting how excited I am about them.
Also, I don't know exactly what the item id in the URL corresponds to, but look at this one.  Dude.  I'm pretty impressed with my timing.

Oh dear goodness, I think I'm in love with Penguins of Madagascar.  The fact that my first episode involves time travel and three copies of the absurdly geeky, scientifically-minded Jeff Bennett character probably has a lot to do with that.

Also, I've now seen two actual-on-telly promos for Legend of Korra, so it finally actually feels sort of real ( Read more... )

This took me a few extra days to get done because I've been having some (read: massive quantities of) trouble sleeping, because I decided Monday to take a spontaneous trip to the beach, and because this section of the book is not holding my interest all that much.  Trigger warning for discussions of religion and right-wing politics in #2 and sexual ( Read more... )
