Avengers!!

I have now seen The Avengers TWICE because I thought it was a really fantastic idea to go again with some friends on a school last night. I'm pretty tired today, but I REGRET NOTHING.



(You have to understand here how unusual it is that I would go see a movie twice in a theater, let alone twice in the same weekend. I hardly ever see things, ever, to the point where I'm constantly having conversations explaining that I haven't seen Movie X that everybody knows. Most recently the entire Batman and Alien franchises. I actually started this whole Marvel journey when I admitted to [livejournal.com profile] bookwench31 and [livejournal.com profile] jumperkid that I had never seen Iron Man and they decided we need to watch it RFN. But I digress.)

I'm not really sure where to start except that I thought it was fantastic, which should really be no surprise considering: a) Joss Whedon and b) THIS CAST.
Spoilers after this point, so if you haven't seen the movie, don't read. And go see the movie instead. )

BSG Finale of Awesomeness

I've read a variety of reactions to the Battlestar Galactica finale, but I wholeheartedly loved it. Sure, there were a few moments that made me go "huh?", but overall it was an amazing finish to one of the best shows on television. I can't believe it's all over now! :(

Warning: lengthy ramblings accompanied by massive spoilers. But I least I break it up with pretty pictures! )

Would that I could write responses to my archives reading as easily as I can write about BSG…

Doctor Who 4X13: “Journey’s End”

Many people on my flist and in the fandom at large seem displeased with the finale for one reason or another. And though “Journey’s End” wasn’t without flaws, I really couldn’t see them past all the fantastic things going on the rest of the time. Because I think it was utterly brilliant. (Several sentences in and I’m already abusing adverbs like whoa. Next up adjectives.) It was chaotic, dark, tense, funny, triumphant, cracky, and tragic, yet still hopeful.

Okay, I’m done mucking about with modifiers. It’s time for the spoilers. I apologize in advance for my verbosity. Ah, universe’s been waiting for me! )

Doctor Who 4X09: The Forest of the Dead

Again this week we had competing choruses of “Best Episode Ever” and “Worst Episode Ever,” but my reaction was more along the lines of… meh. It was amusing, but I wasn’t blown away, and several things just left me confused. More, with much spoilers, under the cut.

I’m right! This works! Shut up! )

Doctor Who 4X07: “The Unicorn and the Wasp”

My response to “The Unicorn and the Wasp.” It’s spectacularly late, but hey, I’ve been busy—or something—but I’ve now had time to rewatch. :D Also, trailer squee, speculation, and some rambling about board games and books. Spoilers through 4X07 and the mid-series trailer.

Solving a murder mystery with Agatha Christie. Brilliant! )


In which I attempt to discuss srs bsns, but mostly ramble on a lot. )
