Amazing how much media you can consume when you're stuck on planes for 20-some-odd hours. Mostly off the cuff because I should be sleeping right now.

Ancillary Justice
I started this last year during Christmas break but couldn't quite get into it. When I first read it, I was only good at following one storyline at the time, and the present-day ( Read more... )

I have been having a long, rough week at work, mostly because of annual reviews and past work angst on top of regular annual review angst ( Read more... )

Just got back from MJ! 'Twas good, especially now that I've embraced my inner BOFQ. I might have a more detailed con report written up later, but for now I'm just relaxing and mentally preparing myself for work again tomorrow ( Read more... )

So here's me talking about the big Connor/Oliver spoiler in the season finale. Probably even more about fandom's reaction than my own. There's a lot of other stuff we could unpack in these two eps, but this is the one that brings the most baggage, I think, for lack of a better word.

It's really hit its stride, in terms of characterization and storytelling, and it feels a lot more like Avatar: the Last Airbender now that they've moved out of Republic City and into the wider world ( Read more... )

HBO's Looking had a pretty good pilot, but there is no way that a level designer working on a video game would be that dismissive of Pokemon.

Juuuuuust saying.

I liked the first series of Sherlock. I liked it a lot. Maybe I just needed a new fandom at the time or maybe I was more willing to cut the show some slack, but it was my jam. There was a charm and cleverness to it, and it was high on its own fannish joy at playing with the Sherlock mythos. The racism was pretty egregious, and the treatment of ( Read more... )
