TV is mostly boring lately. It's the pre-sweeps reruns.

* Modern Family was a re-run. I didn't bother to watch (it was on, mind you. I just didn't watch it much).



* A week late on the last Being Erica episode. Eh, episode but... KAIIIIII!!!!!!



* I did watch Suprenatural (late). I thought JM looked pretty good (though age appropriate). The TWOP summary was annoying as hell... but it's TWOP. What else do you expect?



* Revenge. Backstabbing. Spying. Murder. Machinations galore. Yippee! Loved E-manda pegging Tyler and nailing him on his preposterous back story (So how did you land that expensive jet on an island that only has a dirt runway long enough for a prop plane? And why would you suggest that island as a tax haven when they changed their tax laws in the 1980s?) Smart chicks rule! Tyler, your Talented Mr. Ripley routine isn't going to top the female Count of Monte Cristo. You can't con a con, and she has your number. ::rubbing my hands together:: let the games begin. BTW E-manda... glorious red dress.



* So I'm reviewing part of BtVS Season 8 for fanfic and...I still look at it with.. o.O? I can tell by the parts I'm glossing over and leaving out as extraneous material that there's so much about Season 8 that simply did not interest me at all. Too much of it was comic book clap-crap meant for fanboy appeal. The tanks, the guns, the grenades, the military hardware in total, the Nick-Fury-ing of Xander. The 'buck up it's war. People die' patronizing speeches given by everyone from Xander to Andrew (or is that Oz? I swear from the art it's impossible to tell in one panel whether it's Andrew or Oz... I'm going with Andrew, but solely because of the color of his shirt! From the face/hair/posture there is no clue!) Yadda, yadda. This wasn't the BtVS I bought into with the show, and I really disliked their turning it into some weird miss-mash of boy-toy soldier war with panels of generic, nameless girls being lectured to + traditional superhero villain (complete with flying and lycra outfits!). I liked the Goth/Horror/Soap/Comedy show. This stuff...wasn't it.



* Okay, so I've peeked into Days of Our Lives desperate bid to save the show reboot and I gotta call it as I see it -- flop! (bitching behind the cut) ( Read more... )

Re: The Current LJ brouhaha

So the editing bug.

I get it. I understand why it's upsetting. But to be honest, my locked entries aren't particularly exciting. Usually if I locked something it's because I may have an opinion on something that I know someone on my LJ probably feels quite differently about and I wasn't wanting to make an issue of it. So, if random poster X happens along in the locked entry... unless it happens to be the friend who had a different opinion about something (usually something as vapid as a TV show or fictional character) there isn't much to see there.

So random stranger seeing a f-locked entry of mine? Not actually that big of a deal for me.

But I do understand why folks are upset.

Hey, Elena, are you listening to yourself as you lecture Jeremy? 'Cause it seems to me that you should take your own advice.

Just sayin'...

Meanwhile, over on Community... Annie, your scary story won. It was the eyeball thing that did it. Yikes!

Also, watching Sweet Genius and I've got to know... how in the hell does a panna cotta set up under that sort of time limit? It makes me quite suspicious of production hanky panky.

In other news, I have a cold. It sucks.
