Last night, I met another Kiwi. It appears that flymara is switching places with kroki_refur: now that the latter has gone from England to New Zealand by way of San Francisco, the former is making the opposite journey.

It's that time again! The television season is ending, and we anxiously await the fates of our favorite series, wondering who will be back next year. And reevaluating how much we care. I was going to wait a week to do this, until all my finales had aired, but the only shows whose finales would have really affected how much (more) I want them back ( Read more... )

Non-spoilery television thoughts to give this post more substance than the upcoming meme!
