I had just gotten caught up on the television side, and then I slipped again. But only by a day so far.

First, I found the Doctor Who Christmas special on demand. I enjoyed it on the same level as I enjoy the rest of the show, fondly but not fanatically. Regarding the companion, ( spoilers for The Snowmen )

Joe Biden's Rage is great television.

Elizabeth Olsen is every bit as good as you've ( Read more... )

My TV is back, and more importantly, functional. Something came loose inside so it really did need professional help. Consequently, I have spent the day tuned to it: Psych, Dial M for Murder, some flipping around, and now Forbidden Planet. Good times.
