shah_of_blahI'm sure you are all asking yourselves this question. Fear not, for here is the answer!
1. Dollhouse. I am caught up!
I was spoiled for Alpha's return, so that wasn't terribly exciting. And I thought the Attic was on the predictable side. But overall I've loved this season. I think Eliza has been doing much better than last season. Although I still prefer non-Echo-centric episodes (Belonging was probably my favorite of the season). And I still can't stand Adelle for some inexplicable reason. But I have been overflowing with Victor/Sierra love, and Enver love, and Topher love (Topher!).
Oh yeah, and then there's Boyd. I have never felt so betrayed by a fictional character in my life. I sent an extremely inarticulate and capslocky email to a friend immediately after Getting Closer because holy fuck, I did not see that one coming.
Also, I made a few notes of things I wanted to say about this season. Let's see...
-Summer Glau, you know that I love you (and loved your turn as Bennett!) but I'm starting to think the xkcd guy was right about you. (Sidenote: if any of you haven't read "The Race" from xkcd yet, go do that now).
-From The Attic: "The reality changes, but the enemy stays the same." Damn Joss, that sounds familiar. "This is the shape of things to come." Seriously, I know those lines aren't all that original, but you must realize that a large part of your fanbase will recognize them from Battlestar. And start looking around for hybrid babies.
2. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
I will be brief, as I am not done. I did not achieve my goal of watching the entire second season in just under a week, though I did try very hard. I did watch three discs in three days though. But now I know what people were talking about when they said that T;SCC did the pigeon thing better (and I also know that my sister was not joking when she said it was a recurring character).
3. Doctor Who
I saw Waters of Mars. And...I didn't like it. :( It had the potential to be really awesome and creepy (don't drink the water. don't even touch it. and whatever you do, don't blink!) and then descended into histrionics. Like, if they hadn't all been screaming about it I might have found the situation scary. And if the Doctor hadn't been shouting like a lunatic I might have found his "I am the Time Lord" routine interesting. Instead, it was just silly. And I'm sorry for Tennant fans, but I miss Eccleston. Because he is awesome (and I cry like a baby every time I watch Parting of the Ways). In a weird way, Waters of Mars made me look forward to Stephen Moffat's turn at the wheel.
4. Chuck
I am loving it. Last night's episode was great. That is all.
Status of my pilotsbigbang fic: I have about 1200 words written (including the ending, actually) and one very shoddy outline. Very shoddy. I don't think I will be signing up for bsg_remix this year (because bigbang is probably going to take me down to the wire, and I don't think I can turn around and pop out a remix fic immediately after that). But all of you writers out there should!
And in other news, apparently my new callsign is Sunshine. Can't complain.
