The Mistborn Trilogy, books I & 2
I first read of Brandon Sanderson in the context of The Wheel of Time books, and how he was the one that would complete series since Robert Jordan’s death. I used to be really into WoT, and although it’s been awhile since I stopped following them (around book 8 or 9, I believe… I always meant to go back and finish someday) I was interested in what ( Read more... ) -
Now leaving the darkest timeline
How long has it been since Regional Holiday Music? Almost exactly three months, right? Way too long in any case, but Community is finally back. I’ve missed these characters and this show so much.
Urban Matrimony and the Sandwich Arts was one of the more “normal” Community episodes, and while I do think that you need episodes like this to balance ( Read more... ) -
There’s something to be said for Spooks’ practical and direct approach
I love stories about spies. Any kind of spies, really. The first two seasons of Alias are among my two favorite seasons of TV, ever. It’s a hell of a lot of fun, no matter how much suspension of disbelief is involved. But I also love Spooks, or a story like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (both the book and the movie), where espionage isn’t a game to be ( Read more... ) -
Neil Gaiman on copyright, piracy and the web
Given the events of the past week, I think this is very appropriate.

Shinji and Kamen Rider Ryuki episode 1 revisited
I thought that my first post of the year would be Sherlock, since it’s back on and I’m just loving it (I’m completely obsessed with Lestrade), but I watched Ryuki’s first episode for the first time in a long time, after recommending it to a friend, and I ended up having things I wanted to say about it.
Word of warning for anyone that hasn’t seen ( Read more... ) -

LJ, you kind of suck
So, am I the only one who's have a LOT of problems with the formatting on LJ posts?
It keeps killing paragraph breaks, messing up cut tags and all sorts of things. -

The Doctor’s farewell tour: ‘Closing Time’
One of the things I love about Doctor Who is that even when you know something is coming, it still surprises you.

Doctor Who: The God Complex
The fact that being the Doctor’s companion quite often is a curse disguised as a blessing is something that has been explored before in Doctor Who. Moffat has been toying with it all along, and I really like how it all comes to a head in this episode, how the 11th Doctor has to face that truth and do something about it.
