So I decided to watch Robin Hood again, and because I’m feeling super lazy about it, opted to watch it on Netflix instead of getting out the DVDs. Now I’ve noticed watching a few other things on Netflix the last few months that they don’t always have captions I know should be there, but I think this might be the funniest one. Because they still have the sound effect of the thwacky establishing arrow, but not the location caption. So while *I* know what that sound effect is and in most cases understand what’s being established, I imagine it must seem odd if someone hasn’t watched it before.

Also, the fact that one of Netflix’s teaser images is a s3 promo shot including Kate and Tuck...not a great move, as I hate both of them.

( And a few other observations about this episode )

Since Castle 7x10 was a Christmas episode and had a very lead-into-hiatus feel, I’m going to assume this is a good time to give my thoughts on the season so far.
( Through Castle 7x10 )

It’s pretty obvious this is the last episode of Agents of SHIELD for a while, so thoughts on that season so far.
( Through AoS 2x10 )

And then tonight was a pretty clear break point for Arrow, so might as well discuss that.
( Through Arrow 3x09 )

I’m behind on Reign so I may not be able to give my up to date thoughts there. I suspect Saving Hope only has another episode or two before it goes on break. Korra is coming to an end soon and I am cautiously optimistic they can pull this into something great; but I will have to post some thoughts once it’s over, because I have thoughts I’ve never really gone into before. And I've kind of put off any Downton thoughts until after the Christmas episode depending on what ends up happening then.

What shows (especially new ones) are people watching this season that I should watch? Like I said, I think I’ll finally watch Flash, maybe catch up on TVD and TO, maybe the first block of Revenge this season. That may be enough to keep me occupied for a bit, but I’m open to suggestions.

So I went to see Ender’s Game. Short version: go read the book.

( Read more...really )

Okay, so I think I need to talk about the couple of books I’ve finished in the last week.

First the obvious (and long) A Dance With Dragons ( Read more... )


And now the less obvious: The Snow Queen’s Shadow ( Read more... )

So I spent last night watching Sparkhouse (another BBC miniseries for those who don't know).
( My thoughts under here )

I've read very few of my f-list's reactions to The Next Doctor so far so my reactions are still fairly fresh from that, but it took me a while to work out any real thoughts on it (okay so only a few hours and I slept for some of it; but still, it wasn't immediate).

( TND spoilers, plus general behind the scenes spoilers )

Having now seen all of the deleted scenes, for those interested I babble a lot about them (I might revisit talking about a few of them for more shippy analysis, though it's not like I shy from shippy here).

Well, I finished LoM a couple days back and having given it some thought, I guess I'll post about it.
( Spoilers for all of LoM )

All around, I'm glad I watched it, but it isn't inspiring me to go find much in the way of fandom. Oh and I doubt I'll be paying much attention when the American version gets going, but I expect it won't be as good.

katesutton earlier was talking about if Torchwood was really worth watching and I said I'd be happy to say which episodes were worth watching and which belonged to the MST3K crew. Truthfully, pretty much all the episodes deserve a good deal of mocking, but here's my feelings on the episodes:

( Just my opinions though, so not guaranteed to be normal )

And on the 11th episode, RTD said unto us, let there be Jack.

And lo, it was good.
( This is a very long reaction, but I felt it was necessary )
