I think Junior is absolutely certifiable - Anyone watching Under the Dome knows of what I speak. - but, gosh darn it, I'm really starting to enjoy him. Which may make me certifiable. Barbie, on the other hand, is dull as dishwater. And I'm chalking most of this up to the actors.
I admit it! I searched the interwebs to find out where the dome came from, and, wow, I hope this is one other thing the show will be departing from the book on! King oftentimes leaves his readers/viewers down in the ending, I think, but I wonder if the book is otherwise worth reading.
Also on my current TV viewing list: Whodunnit? and Siberia, silly, soon-to-be-gone-with-the-summer entertainment; Wipeout Don't judge me!; Top Chef Masters, always kind of ho hum compared to the non-Masters' seasons and this one is no different, but, hey, I've got a TV schedule to fill; Project Runway, high on drama, run-of-the-mill on fashion this season, as is ever thus since its change to Lifetime Who knew a show would be better on Bravo, for pity's sake?; Broadchurch, only one ep in but, so far, very good. I was hesitant because of David Tennant. Don't club me Who fans! I've only seen him in a couple things, but found him something of an over-actor, but so far, very good here; I will definitely be checking in to Low Winter Sun; The Bridge... I dunno. Love the idea of it, not a fan of Diane Kruger. Maybe she'll persuade me, a la DT?
On my reading list, I've just finished Midnight at Marble Arch by Anne Perry, my first AP mystery. Not impressed, I must admit, but I know these one, or more, a year authors can get rote and sloppy and pedestrian after so many years writing the same characters and genres, so maybe I'll check into one of her earlier works. The biggest mystery of the book for me was the title! I have no idea where or what Marble Arch is or what happened there at midnight. I have no friggin' clue how the title connects to the story. Maybe Marble Arch, as a phrase/place is metaphorical or historical in the UK? Seriously, the biggest mystery of a mystery novel should not be the title!
