( Battlestar Galactica reflections and complaints for The Woman King and A Day in the Life )

1. Regarding Farscape season two: D'Argo playing Rock, Paper, Scissors with himself had me laughing so hard I nearly fell off the exercise bike. Also, I can't get over how inexplicably angst-free John and Aeryn are. I mean, there's trouble, and there are intense goodbyes, and there are extreme bouts of life saving. But then they end episodes like ( Read more... )

I've had weird dreams the past few nights and I've woken up exhausted. I wondered briefly if I was being kidnapped into Faerie while I should be sleeping, like Lady Pole in Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, but then I realized that if I can say that I've gone to Faerie, then it must not be true ( Read more... )

It has the President entertaining like the Oval ( Read more... )
