To read makes our speaking English good. (btvs 1:8)

So it’s been a crazy week in which I worked too much (because of all the slacking I’d done previously), and didn’t get enough sleep because I still tried to do everything I normally do after work

Hey, there.
Just a fly by post to hug you. I wish I could read these tv reviews of yours, but you're so far ahead on most shows than us in the IK, they are all spoilers :(

[cordelianne]

Hey! *g* I wish we could all be on the same schedule for tv shows! Some American shows have delayed airings in Canada but it happens rarely because most of our stations are from the U.S., and we're not normally as behind as in the UK or Australia and NZ. Of course, it tends to mean that our culture is basically American. We only have a few of our own shows that draw a large audience.

Oh, but I do know that in Canada we're way behind the UK on Coronation Street. One of my friends gets tapes from relatives back in Scotland so she's up-to-date.

*hugs*

“And not knowing who you’re in bed with can lead to a very uncomfortable awakening.” I love that the slashy subtext just gets more intense!

That subtext was so blatant. I laughed and laughed.

[cordelianne]

I feel like Smallville's embraced the subtext and is having fun with it. Because it starting to feel less and less like subtext and more like text. :)

Veronica and Wallace have such a great dynamic! I'd much prefer more Wallace & Veroinca scenes to Wallace & Jackie ones, not that I hate her or anything, I'm just more interested in the friendship.

I've always loved the slashy Lex/Clark subtext (I got hooked when Clark said re: Lex "Our relationship is ... complicated"), but now I'm all about Lex/Brianiac!! So very fun.

I'd planned to do the music post today but I got called into work so it'll probably be sometime tomorrow. But yay for music!

I'm so excited to hear about your friend's reaction to S-1 of BtVS!! It's neat to hear people's thoughts when they first experience the show. I basically watched the first 5 seasons in less than a month so it was very condensed for me.

Ooh! Music! (Sadly, I don't get any of the shows *sigh*.)

I had a four-hour drive last night to pick up SO and carload of stuff, then drove back this morning. Took along my iPod (transmitting to car stereo) and enjoyed your last playlist immensely! I think "Amaze Me", "Such Great Heights" and "Lodestar" are currently my favourites.

So, I'm likely to enjoy anything you want to recommend.

[cordelianne]

Sadly, I don't get any of the shows *sigh*. Yeah, vampirefever who's also in the UK has the same problem or if she gets the shows, the episodes air significantly later than they do here. Why can't we all get all the same shows at the same time?!

Oh, I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed the playlist because those are some of my favourite songs! Those are great songs to that you're enjoying!

I probably won't get the music stuff posted till tomorrow because I unexpectedly had to go to work. Oh! And I will be posting those character meme thingy on your lj in a little bit! :)

how could anyone believe that Jonathan - he of the sanctimonious speeches - would suggest murder.

Hee! I had the same thought. And I know he was looking out for his own self-interest, but the fact that Lionel had to point out to Clark that Jonathan would never tell him to murder anyone makes Clark look even more simple than usual.

I like Supernatural's "previouslies" too. They're very clever and fandom-y.

I completely missed Fishburne's "invisible man" line in the movie, but I would have laughed too. Anytime a customer at the bookstore asks for The Invisible Man, I have to ask "Wells or Ellison?" (and half the time they don't know!). The Ellison version is on a lot of school reading lists around here, and I think we actually sell more of it.

I know! Clark's not supposed to be that stupid, so I'm concerned that they're making him like that just for the plot. Considering that on Supernatural they dealt with an incredibly similar issue without the character becoming idiots, I think they should be able to do the same thing on Smallville.

I completely missed Fishburne's "invisible man" line in the movie, but I would have laughed too. Ahh, it did go by quickly. I'm very good at noticing that kind of detail but not big plot points (which is probably better in a movie like MI-III!).

I'm very amused that customer's don't know which The Invisible Man, considering the topics are very different! I can see it being on school lists in the US, since it was something we read in my American Lit course. I suspect more people associate the Well's version with the movie than the book.
