WHAT UP, ATLANTA!Well, I hope everyone out there in tv land likes Beth! They all really do, I bet. And maintaining that illusion, as well as my bloodpressure, is one of the reasons I continue to avoid any and all TWD chatter whatsoever out there on the internet. (Ahhh, sweet tranquility.) My own insta-reaction to this episode was to send the ( Read more... )

Phew. Now that I've got all that out of my system, mostly (I'd apologise for all the sweariness, but really, it felt appropriate to the occasion), and had a chance to watch 5.01, I thought it might be fun to just play with it a bit, instead of racing breakneck through 50+ episodes of series, or even just whole seasons. Ramble around and maybe see ( Read more... )

OMG a post! About a season finale! That has only kind of recently finished airing, no less! Wonders: they never cease.

Although I'm afraid it's mostly going to be a rambling collection of thoughts about the broader arc and show and whatnot. My reaction to the finale upon its end was pretty much literally: LOL ILU SHOW :D:D. So there's that covered ( Read more... )

You guys, season nine. !!! And, since season nine holy crap, it's suddenly my last chance to throw out there what I wanted to say since the end of season eight before we get buried in season. nine.

To wit:

Sam, Sam, Sam, you beautiful gigantic man, THAT IS YOUR TAKEAWAY. YOUR WHOLE ARC, RIGHT THERE. Meg straight-up nailed it for you, and the fact ( Read more... )

I don't make New Year's resolutions. I never have. But I figured it might be a good deadline to get things finished by. Hence, the last of Casino Royale analysis (see? I can do symbolic too! *iz proud*). Now onto Quantum of Solace, wheeeeee ( Read more... )

So. In the interests of actually finishing a project for once, I made a jolly good go at liveblogging (another word which I do not think means what I think it means) the last episode of North & South.

Uh.

Except that, even though I did not once use the word “swoon”, the observant among you will read between the lines and notice that all attempt at ( Read more... )

Anyone who knows Australians knows we can be a confusing lot, but if there's one thing we're straightforward about, it's our love of homegrown music. Well, one of my favourite tracks ever is John Butler's "Ocean". It is ... incandescent. And he's just made his first studio recording of it ever [edit: correction, first in a decade, since he first ( Read more... )

Recently, because bitterlimetwist gets me to WATCH ALL THE THINGS, I watched Drive. In fact, I watched it twice. The first time around, I enjoyed it but remained on my aloof fandom fence. However, the skill with which it was crafted stuck with me enough that I soon revisited it, and that time around it completely blew me away. And confused me.

The filmic language ( Read more... )

Friday. Time for some Random!

I love music. I'm not that musical myself, and I'm extremely haphazard when it comes to expanding my listening, but I do love it. And, correspondingly, one of the things I love about fandom is how it has contributed to my musical awareness over the years. A fair amount of the stuff I listen to came through hearing it on ( Read more... )
