How I spent my summer vacation
(to be more accurate, my second-and-a-half week of September, but that lacks all the necessary connotations, so yeah ( Read more... ) -
Torchwood - Children of Earth
Dear imaginary RTD:
When the fucking Dark Knight with Ledger's Joker and its' filthy Gotham is more uplifting in terms of belief in human nature than your story? That's the point where you ask yourself 'when was the last time I took my meds?' before completing the script ( Read more... ) -
Thoughts on Dollhouse, I has them again.
Woot, a Steven DeKnight episode! It's not on the level of 'Deep Down', but without the benefit of 3 seasons worth of set-up, I say it's good enough.

SGA and language acquisition
I wonder if trying to watch Stargate: Atlantis in French would make it more or less tolerable. On one hand, I will understand less and thus be less disturbed by the sheer stupidity of Our Heroes.

Squee makes the world go round.
I HAS DOLLHOUSE. Why is it still not the 20th?

Кто о чём, а я за логику
Я прочла больше пары десятков рецензий на Обитаемый Остров. В основном людей, обладающих выраженными аналитическими способностями. Из этих двадцати рецензий только две указывают на полный слом мотивации главного персонажа (не говоря уж о принудительном превращении его в дебила ( Read more... ) -

Now it's an archetype, now it's not
It so happened that in the last month I witnessed (mostly online, but still) several discussions on the eternal topic of religion.
