Spoof trailer for Twilight, with the real movie trailer underneath.

Feminist Narrative and the Supernatural:  Waaaaaannnnnttttt!! (Which is not to be mistaken for "Buy for me!")

Stargate: Universe:  Strangely, not so sure I want. I mean, come on, why call it Stargate if it's primarily a space ship show?  And can't they leave the Ancients with a ( Read more... )

 Well, that was pretty good.  I liked Ark of Truth, but it felt a little rushed and condensed, but this one didn't.

Don S. Davis was in it.  I did not know in advance, so that made me sniffly.

All in all, it's kind of like the 2 parter ending of the one season (8?) with time travel where in the end, no one knows it ever even happened.  You know, the ( Read more... )

I HAVE FINISHED SEASON TWO OF ATLANTIS!

No individual episode comments as I was just repeating myself.

Fans of the show who have been twitching at and/or running from my posts all week can breathe a sigh of relief.

You know, contrary to how it seems sometimes, I really am very easy to please.  I don't demand political correctness in my fiction.  I ( Read more... )

I think I can no longer see the good for the bad.

2:13: Critical Mass

LANDRY! GOA’ULD! CADMAN! AN ASGARDIAN! Why are we discussing science-y stuff at SGC and no mention of my Sam? Stupid ponytail scientist was back, though. And he got pwned by an Asgardian. It’s their thing.

Oh, hey, they actually remembered Teyla’s people. Mark the date!

WHY TO I KEEP WATCHING THIS!  TELL ME! (Anyone want to hook me up with decent icons of Elizabeth and Cadman?  And I just realized that I don't actually have Sam icons.  THIS MEANS THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG IN THE WORLD.)

I did, however, flip through my Cardcaptor Sakura volumes while I was suffering and squee a lot over the OMG SO CUTE!!! in ( Read more... )

2.9: Aurora:

Wow. They almost let Elizabeth have a scene with chit chat there with Ronon. Then they remembered she’s not allowed to have human contact without talking about work.

It seems everyone forgot what happened the last time McKay had a bright idea regarding ancient technology. Not to mention all the talk about how he had to regain trust ( Read more... )

I have decided  that the have Ronon waving guns around a lot while bare armed to distract us from the plot.  Rather like certain parts of SG-1.  Except that SG-1 at its worst didn't have the issues this show has.

If the world loved me, this show would be Elizabeth in command and the team consisting of Teyla, Lorne, Ronon and not-crazy!Ford.

Also, I ( Read more... )

I find myself less annoyed non-stop with Sheppard and McKay than I was with large parts of the first season so far.  Then again, there's a new character I find myself hating enough to compensate.  (I swear, if the Daedalus commander/new co-leader makes another patronizing insult of Elizabeth and gets away with it...you know, when people talked to ( Read more... )

Have started season 2 of Stargate: Atlantis.  This slightly-paraphrased exchange kind of sums up most of the show's issues:

Elizabeth: "We’re so glad you’re here and blowing things up in the safety of your Asgard-protected spaceship. Listen, our city is being overrun by alien vampires trying to eat us, do you think you could spare a couple men to ( Read more... )
