( SPN 6x06 and 6x07 promo )

So, I think I'm going to skip the ep reaction this week and move straight to the meta. This is part because I'm insanely busy this weekend, and partly because I think my reaction to this ep is a little hard to quantify, if you know what I mean.

( Spoilers for 6x05 with reference to 6x06 previews )

I'm going to keep it short this time and say just the two things:
( SPN 6x04: A Weekend at Bobby's )

Today, I made chicken marsala and pumpkin spice cake from scratch.

I find this equally hilarious and awesome. A couple of years ago, I could not even have conceived of being able to make anything from scratch. For chicken marsala, I'd go to a restaurant. For the pumpkin spice cake, I'd either look for a mix at the grocery store, or wait for ( Read more... )

So, I was going to do an ep reaction for 6x03, but it started turning into a rather long-winded meta, and I got sidetracked in the middle, and now I'm just too tired of the damn thing even to look at it. And this is a much more interesting topic, anyway.

So, "The Bones, Scotty, Sulu, and Chekov Hour." The ongoing adventures of the intrepid crew of the starship Enterprise, as they attempt to go about the business of... well, business (which includes, but is not limited to: surviving, saving the universe, and not getting court-marshaled in the process) while doing their best to work around their ( Read more... )

HA!! PENS WIN!! PENS WIN!!

Don't really care about hockey, but I do care about football, and how cool is that, that the Steelers won the Superbowl, and now the Pens have won the Stanley Cup? Fucking good year to live in Pittsburgh, I tell you. (Ignoring the Pirates, of course, but near as I can tell, everyone does.)

Saw Star Trek today. I'm reminded why I'm not a Trekkie.

Kirk, Spock, and Uhura were likable, but not particularly captivating. On the other hand, Bones and Scottie were hilarious.

Plotwise, I spent most of the film stifling my desperate cries of "Black holes don't work that way!!" I thought we had moved past this whole black-holes-as-logicless ( Read more... )
