In which I have feelings.

I literally did not sleep last night, which means I am almost totally unselfconscious about posting here. Hooray?

So, my life. The only good parts happen via television. I finally started the fifth season of Babylon 5, having recovered from Deconstruction of Falling Stars, which completely broke me. (Seriously, I am in no way an optimist, but why ( Read more... )

what is my life

I have the first two A Song of Ice and Fire books. ...I should get on that. Fifth one comes out this summer, no?

Yup! In July, FINALLY. They're decent books, but I will warn you that they're very bleak.

Also please don't hate Sansa she's my girl and I just want to take care of her and protect her and essentially mother her forever omg.

Bah I don't want depressing books! I have the freaking Star Wars EU for that.

Haha, I'll keep that in mind for whenever I read them. Do lots of people not like her or something?

Yeah, as far as I can tell she's one of the most hated characters in the series. And I don't like to generalize, but the vast majority of dislike that I've seen on le interwebs is rooted in misogyny. She likes dresses and boys and doesn't eschew femininity or swordfight like her sister and is therefore weak and dumb and stupid. Nevermind that she's twelve years old. How dare she be a dreamer and not want to be a boy.

If you couldn't tell, I have a lot of ~feelings about this, lol.

I have to say that Scarecrow & Mrs. King is definitely one of my favorite shows. And it is absolutely one of those shows where everything is beautiful and nothing hurts. :)

It is, it's perfect and I'm just like *.*

What I want to know is, when does she ditch Dean. His existence annoys me.

jess_squirrel May 15 2011, 05:34:05 UTC

LOL, it is totally perfect and when it ends you'll be happy, I promise. ;)

Ah, Dean's existence is very annoying. But he basically disappears in S2.

Can you believe there are people that hate Deconstruction of Falling Stars ? I mean it is a really negative episode in some ways, but it totally blew me away when I first saw it, and I still think it's brilliant.

I take it you're into S5 of B5 now, and yeah there is lots of amazing epicness of Londo and G'kar. Season 5 has some iffy stuff (Byron, ugh) but I think it sort of makes up for it by Everything that Londo and G'kar do together.
