So, okay.  I had a horrendously busy week what with, you know, life and everything, so that combined with the fact that episode 10 was another one that just didn't wow me meant that the Thoughts were delayed.  But now I have the day off work, I've decided to take a break from my diet and exercise plan, and so I'll now do a double rewatch whilst ( Read more... )

I can't do a rewatch this time around, because it's been near to damn impossible to find a download that actually works.  For some reason bitshare has shat itself and won't allow me access to my usual 20-minutes-or-less free downloads, and all the other ones I tried on Monday night had the audacity to tell me they'd take between four and seven ( Read more... )

Wow, the Thoughts are late this week.  That was partly because this episode just didn't wow me like some of the others have - don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed it, and I think Steven Moyer is a kickass director.  But I just haven't had the time or motivation for a rewatch until now, because I've been busy with a shit-tonne of other things:  ( Read more... )

I've literally just finished watching the episode 30 seconds ago, and I'm so blown away by it that I need to do an immediate rewatch, so I figured, why not do the Thoughts right now?  Here goes, mofos!

*  Previouslies.  We know this already.  Those Obama masks are creepily racist.

*  Goddamn it, Meloni really has Melonied for the last time.  J'adore ( Read more... )

An accelerated version of, because ZOMFG.

*Okay, I need to start with the end of the episode, because OMFG.  FIVE EPISODES OF MELONI IS NOT ENOUGH MELONI.  HBO YOU TEASING BITCHES, YOU PROMISED ME MELONI.  I NOW HAVE TO GO BACK TO SNOGGING MY TV SCREEN DURING SVU AND OZ RERUNS.

*Only halfway through the season, and Russell stakes the Guardian?  No.  ( Read more... )

So today I'm going to do the Thoughts while I do a rewatch (and while I eat a chicken pesto baguette, but that's probably less relevant to your interests).  We'll see how this goes - it'll either be more like a traditional recap than just random sentences of me going "Bwahahaha" or "ZOMG", or it'll be a total and utter clusterfuck to end all ( Read more... )

So I worked the early shift two days ago, followed by a double shift yesterday after which I went out for an amazing Thai dinner with the girls that went until all hours of the effing morning (but was fabulously worth it!), and then just as I was enjoying sleeping in on my first day off in forever, I was woken up by a Jehovah's Witness knocking on ( Read more... )

1)  I've just seen the preview clips from the next True Blood episode and gaaaahhhh.  I cannot even with this Pam/Eric awkwardness anymore.  I'm not a shipper, I know they're not a couple, but it's just agonizing to watch poor Pam stammer and beg like that.  They're BFFs and they need to go back to being BFFs.  I can appreciate that a 100 year old ( Read more... )

I made the mistake of reading the comms first this week (not ontd_fangtasia, that one is almost dead and is the far whinier of the two this season - I stuck with ontd_trueblood and their slightly less overt brand of bitchery).  That means this post will probably contain some rebuttal and good old fashioned eye-rolling, but let's away, shall we ( Read more... )

So the comms were surprisingly un-whiny last week which made for a nice change!  Haven't ventured in this week, that's up next.  For now, the Thoughts.

*Okay, so are we just altogether done with the Hotshot storyline now?  I'm the first to admit that it wasn't my favourite plot, but I hope the writers aren't just kowtowing to a few whingy little ( Read more... )
