Have you guys noticed that fandom wants a bunch of incredibly contradictory things ( Read more... )

In the event anybody cares, my Twitter review of SPARTACUS: BLOOD AND SAND's fifth episode, "Shadow Games." In this one, every single other character is *yet again* more interesting than Spartacus, Manu Bennett whips his cock out more often than not, and at least half the scenes are populated entirely by nearly naked musclemen who have been ( Read more... )

I think I may have to write a series primer on SPARTACUS: BLOOD & SAND. Yes, it's a gloriously stupid show, but I don't think I've ever seen a series that throws so much bizarre stuff into the mix. Seriously, this show is now at the point where Lucy Lawless could enter a scene on a chariot drawn by naked ponyboys with bioluminescent penises and I ( Read more... )

If you don't follow me on Twitter (I'm hradzka there, natch), you may not have noticed that I have an occasional vice ( Read more... )

Last night I discovered that SPARTACUS: BLOOD & SAND was available via Netflix streaming, which is how I watch most of my entertainment these days. Maurissa Tancharoen has been plugging it to her Twitter followers because she and the hubby have made it their new gig. So I checked it out ( Read more... )

So I started watching LEVERAGE (thank you streaming Netflix). It's not my type of show, but I see why it's caught on with fandom, because the cast and characters are winning enough. Well, sort of; I quite like Hardison, Parker, and Eliot, and would happily watch their show, but could care less about Nate and Sophie, despite quite liking Gina ( Read more... )

"The End of Time, Part I" is quite possibly the single stupidest thing that has ever aired on DOCTOR WHO. And as any longtime Whovian knows, that's saying *a lot ( Read more... )

Watching Stephen Moffat's JEKYLL. I'm only a couple episodes in, and it's alternately terrific and disappointing. The casting is great, and the Grand Moff does a great job of laying suspense for the Jekyll/Hyde transformation: at first, you see everything from the point of view of Tom Jackman, the Jekyll figure, so when he blacks out and doesn't ( Read more... )

Or at least part of it, and I have to say, um. Well, I can see why the slash fans leapt aboard it with cries of delight, but it is pretty much exactly the opposite of everything that appeals to me ( Read more... )

I quite forget who on my flist was posting about THE MRS. BRADLEY MYSTERIES, but your enthusiasm was such that I put 'em on my Netflix queue. Finally arrived, and watched, and I have to say: tee-riffic. Thanks much for the rec; they're laid-back, genteel, and remarkably adorable ( Read more... )
