part 2 of ellen day IS VERY UPSETTING.

The murder of Ellen made me furious and stuck with me for a long time. And it’s not that I needed a reason per se to be pissed about this (because, and not to put too fine a point on this: murder), but it sat differently than even the most an egregious case of fridging would have.

ELLEN!! I think I am the only one who adored her right away. But she was just this breath of drunk air and I loved her. NOT THAT I CONDONE THE PLAYING OF GRABASS EVEN IF LEE MAKES REALLY FUNNY FACES. but. so funny.

apparently RDM has a new series coming out.

I want to write him a dear john letter about THINGS WHAT ARE UNACCEPTABLE TO DO. because I really would like to watch it, but I can't do this again. I've gotten through one episode of Caprica since I watched the series.

is it even a spoiler to bring up the dead/evil lesbian cliche at this point? can't deal.

WAT.

OK, on the one hand, JAMIE BAMBER AND HIS FACE. On the other hand... :\

That happened on Caprica? Eurgh. I only got through a couple of episodes of that show, but then cbf.
