So, yes, I did recently rewatch Nightshifter. Can you blame me? It's not especially relevant, I promise, apart from I can't stop using the quotes as post titles apparently because I JUST LOVE RONALD OKAY. I REGRET NOTHING.

... Other than, see, the trouble with wordvomit is you come back later and notice all the things and ideas and examples that ( 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... )

I realise it's been a while, but back at the beginning, one of the reasons I decided to do this meme was as a way to grapple with the myriad (and to me, murky) issues surrounding the treatment and reception of women in fiction. My starting point being:

Just to note, I hate how busy my Fridays and Saturdays tend to be. I miss all the SPN flurries around here. *sadface*

BUT I've finallly perused the few ep reactions on my flist, and rather than leave ridiculously long comments on their pages (blacklid and fannishliss, I'm looking at you. AND your comment replies, b. Why you stir up these thinky-thoughts, whyyy?), I ( Read more... )

Between studies finals, farewell parties and helping with friends’ wedding, I only got around to watching the finale this morning. A few quick thoughts:
