Being Erica

So...um... am I correct in assuming that was quite probably the series finale? Basically, everyone's story was wrapped up. Everyone got happy endings. The End, right? I mean, I guess we could see a season with Erica as Doctor, but aren't we really supposed to simply assume the rest? (Especially having seen Future Erica in an earlier episode).

The only thing that really interested me was Leo's Limbo (not spoiling much, really, as Leo has been dead for the entire series.) But I was surprised to see him pop up in the finale and it not be flashback Leo.  Apparently( Read more... )

Anyway, I thought the limbo thing was an interesting the touch. Everything else was pretty much as expected( Read more... )

You Know TV Is Boring When...

You know TV is all re-runs and is boring when you spend the entire evening watching Science Channel episodes of things like Seeing Black Holes and The Hawking Paradox.  

It's stress free, I guess. :)

Currently Reading: Confessions of a D-List Supervillain 

It's kind of fan-ficcy, but the premise is cute.  (Big name Supervillain manages to enact his teh-evol plan... and it worked.  Most of the big name superheroes are now enslaved or dead (or were shallow frauds to begin with) and a D-list villain has an almost Spikean "oh shit!" recognition that the bad guys idea of winning and 'taking over the world' will inevitably end the world and...well... the world is where he keeps his stuff and makes a living (selling tech to other bad guys.)  Something has got to be done about this!

So he's left rehabilitating superheroes (and doing some heroics himself) because...well... someone has to get them to save the world, right? 

It's generally amusing (though it has a bit too much of a  Bitter Beta Male undercurrent for me to be 100% happy).  Still, mostly fun, fluff read.

Quotes:

"The world's been taken over and I missed it.  All I know for certain is that the Evil Overlord was hiring geneticists like crazy late last year.  Now these bugs are attached to everyone's neck and society seems to be reorganizing into a hive mentality.  Granted, it would probably make standing in line a lot more tolerable, but I'm not quite ready to sign up.

Given that it's been two weeks since this started and there have been no worldwide broadcasts from the megalomaniac, it's a safe bet it's an experiment gone awry rather than a plan masterfully executed..."

"Being a supervillain means never having to say you're sorry ... unless it's to the judge or the parole board. Even then, you don't really have to mean it. It's not like it's going to change the outcome or anything."

"If I survive, it'll definitely go in my memoir, or at least an e-mail submission to an adult magazine..."
