I'm not sure what it is that make certain storylines 'work' for me, why they're something that intrigues me and makes me want to think and talk about them.  At any rate the three that interest me most at the moment (in no particular order).

Being Human

I'm really enjoying this plot.  It's chewy.  Those who watched last season know that Mitchell did ( Read more... )

Let me see:

The world can't handle there being more than one empowered woman (possibly two) in it. Such a thing  throws the balance of the entire universe so out of whack that a sentient universe convinces a man to think for the poor little woman, lying to and manipulating her,  while the universe places her in what looks a lot like heat so as to ' ( Read more... )

green_maia  was asking about BtVS meta and that brought to mind the old fan-project "Spike Thesis" based on the Watcher named Lydia announcing  "I wrote my thesis on Spike."  At the time, several of us got together and wrote the thesis for her.  Alas, both of the links where it was stored are now defunct.  So I thought I'd poke around yahoogroups and I see ( Read more... )

It's been interesting reading some of the reactions to the last comic. I've been fascinated by the ones who keep speculating that someone needs to come pick up the pieces of Buffy and put her back together again (Candidates generally seem to be Xander or Spike). Am I the only one whose reaction is... no? I think there have already been enough ( Read more... )

* I don't know what it was that hit me last night (low grade fever, chills, ache in my bones, headache from hell, general ick) but I'm feeling much, much better today.

* Best summary I've read of the current Buffy comic (I also still perversely enjoy reading the whole darn thread laughing that people are still debating who the 'ultimately ( Read more... )

Nice bit of thoughtful meta on the character of Cordelia Chase

Still reeling from last night's ep.  (Which is good.  I may need it when the Buffy crackfest wank rolls around).  LOST last night was the great kind of awesome awful.   They ripped my heart out, stomped on it, and yet still left me hopeful that it will all work out in the end (and not in a desperate plea that maybe, somehow Joss Whedon will pull a ( Read more... )

In my Bloodsucker Poll, rahirah's comment led me to respond with a few of my issues with Eric Northman (Am I the only one who laughs a little at Northman = Viking? Just me? *crickets*) Anyway, my issues with True Blood's Eric Northman, let me show you them ( Read more... )

It's a question that came up for me when working on my WIP. I even went back and re-watched "You're Welcome" to see whether I had forgotten something, but the answer isn't in "You're Welcome."

Exactly why was Lindsey doing what he was doing in Season 5 AtS? In "You're Welcome"s big Angel/Lindsey fight scene he says he was pissed that Angel was ( Read more... )
