Not a bad first episode. He's cute and English. She's cute and smart. Doesn't knock on the door like an actual cop but we' ll let that go for now. Plus witty repartee and horror based on Christian mythologies. Enough to bring me back...

I was doing so well posting for a while but then work decided to knock me down and steal my lunch money and I got a bit distracted.  Also, I don't really have anything particularly fannish to say... at least not until the 24th then I expect there may be words ( Read more... )

I am not a sitcom watcher, never have been.  Big Bang Theory, yes.  Pretty much everything else, no.  But, because Clark Gregg is a lead on The New Adventures of Old Christine and because TNAOC is on about four times a day, I've been watching.  For him!  Okay, and a bit for Wanda Sykes and Hamish Linklater ( Read more... )

I showed the beloved the Loki at comic con bit yesterday.  At the end, she sighed and said, "My God, we're desperate for someone to follow."

She's not wrong.  He put a finger to his lips and Hall H fell silent...

So the beloved and I are talking about giving up the satelitte dish because Continuum, Orphan Black, baseball, intermittently Dr. Who, and hopefully SHIELD aren't worth $78 bucks a month especially if we can get all of that either on line -- it was how I had to watch S1 of H50 and, oh lord I feel old, back in the day I watched at least three ( Read more... )
