she will be your living end

Oh man, I am so behind on everything! Life's been pretty nutty lately, what with taking first steps towards the grad school of my dreams and all, and having my first-ever portfolio review. (It went really well - thanks so much to everyone for the advice! ♥) I have some catching up to do, per as usual.

I'm super excited, though, because trekreversebang claims ( Read more... )

I choose to believe that not only is Kate alive, but she's behind all of Operation Mentor.

Though, this may be because I've been rewatching Alias lately, where no one dies and most people are secretly evil masterminds.

Hee. I'm not sure I want such a big conspiracy (I imagine that just leading to 'everything is just about tormenting Neal!'), but I could totally see her being in on it all.

I've heard so much good about that show, but I've never watched it! I am so tempted by anything with a kickass female lead.

DON'T DO IT. It's basically an extended version of Run, Lola, Run--until the fucking Rambaldi artifacts start showing up. Then it is just a fantastical conspiracy shit show. My philosophy: stick with Franka Potente, and avoid the Dan Brown nonsense.

I still have not seen Run, Lola, Run! On the other hand, Dan Brown comparisons are a good way to put me off something.

I always enjoy watching Jennifer Garner beat on people in the "I Enjoy Being A Girl" vid, though. :p

Ahaha--quite. I did enjoy the early seasons, in a mindless kind of way. (Which isn't an insult, I like TV that is just enjoyable.)

The later stuff, though, falls into a genre I think of as Lazy Mystic Mystery Science--when you start out with a mystery story which might actually involve reason, logic, and clues, and then give up and get lazy and attribute near or actual fantastical power to something for no good reason. Well, except for the reason that real clues are too hard for the writers.

Examples of this include all books by Blue Balliet (The Wright Three, Chasing Vermeer, etc.), the Illusionist (which I can't hate anyway because of Paul Giamatti's face and the lovely soundtrack), Lost (JJ ABRAMS AGAIN ARRRRG), and what I was afraid Sherlock Holmes would be like.
