MY REACTION TO THE LEGEND OF KORRA.
ALL THE FEELS.
ALL OF THEM.
I just…I cannot. This show. THIS SHOW. IT’S SO GOOD.
APPROPRIATE GIF IS APPROPRIATE.
Not Enough Tyrion
So I finally caught up on the first episode of the second season of Game of Thrones and my only conclusion is:
NOT ENOUGH TYRION.
Also, oh Sansa! Sansa, darling, you are my new favourite: you are smart and clever and stuck in a TERRIBLE position, but you’re a quick study and totally out-gamed Joffrey.
It’s agony waiting for the next episode! Any of you Game of Thrones fans? Did you watch the season premiere? Thoughts?
A Matt Smith Proposes at the Doctor Who Experience
I shared this adorable story of one Matt Smith (not the Doctor) dressed as the Doctor (as played by another Matt Smith) proposing to his girlfriend at the Doctor Who Experience with my Whovian coworkers and got this response.
- TERRA: Wouldn’t a part of you but just a LITTLE disappointed that it’s not the other Matt Smith?
TERRA: When they get married, I hope she looks deep into his eyes and sees another Matt Smith standing inside, waving.
I’m dead.
Dead.
One Of These Days I Will Write Up A Long Blog Post About Why I Love Avatar: The Last Airbender.
But not today. Because today my DVDs arrived from Amazon, which means I will most likely go home, ignore the mountain of work I have, and watch the series again from start to finish, this time with commentary.
Lannisters Are Where It’s At
Epic awesomeness.
Ah, Memorial Day weekend. A perfect time for grilling, drinking, socializing, and binge-watching episodes of Game of Thrones. Actually, forget the first three because Bear and I holed ourselves up in his parents house and saw no one and went nowhere because we were glued to the TV.
I will preface this by saying I’ve never read anything by George R. R. Martin. I attempted GAME OF THRONES once, but got bored and put it aside. For shame, JJ! fantasy fans will decry. You’ve read everything by J. R. R. Tolkien, including THE SILMARILLION and THE LAYS OF BELERIAND and you couldn’t get through GAME OF THRONES? Yes, yes, I will admit it. I can read pages upon pages of dry, boring Tolkien and couldn’t finish Martin. However, I will probably give him another try at some point.
But you see, I didn’t realize, until I started watching Game of Thrones, that there was a reason to be reading.
I’m a Hot Toe-Picker!
This video never fails to make me laugh. And those of you who don’t know the brilliance of Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends, you must remedy this immediately.
I Had Such A Crush
Speaking of gay girls, how about Tenoh Haruka from Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon? I had the biggest crush on her. And let us all forget the horrific atrocity that was the Sailor Moon S American dub, which turned Haruka and Michiru–excuse me, Amara and Michelle–into cousins (freaking COUSINS!), but inexplicably left all the flirting in. WTF.
I am improving. Yes, I am quite strong. You know the difference between strength and imperviousness, right? A substance that is impervious to damage doesn't need to be strong. When you and I met, I was an impervious substance. Now I am a strong substance. A time could come when you aren't angry anymore and I'm strong enough to risk losing the last of my imperviousness, maybe then we could try to be together.Bones, The Blackout in the Blizzard
Excuse me while I clutch at my heart in anguish. “When I am strong enough to lose the last of my imperviousness…” Gaah! This is probably one of the most romantic declarations of love ever.
Sungkyunkwan Scandal
Dear Readers, I must acquaint you all with something with which I was obsessed over the Christmas holidays.
The Jalgeum Quartet in Sungkyunkwan Scandal
What do you get when you have a witty, intelligent, cross-dressing heroine, a stodgy, principled (but adorable) nerd, a rebel with a heart of gold, and a weaselly, manipulative, and ambiguously gay mischief-maker? ONLY JJ’S NEWEST KOREAN DRAMA CRACK.
Oh Frakking Hell
I’ve been struggling for a few days now to write this post as Battlestar Galactica is so epic, it’s a bit difficult to review. If I’d watched the show like any normal person, I could probably give you a coherent blow-by-blow, but as it is, I’m trying to encapsulate my thoughts on four seasons worth of story into one tiny (okay, really long) little entry.
Battlestar Galactica
My dear friend, The Inimitable Bex, is an enormous fan and had been suggesting to me for ages the show as one I would enjoy. She hasn’t been the only one, various friends whose artistic opinions I value had continually been at me to give Battlestar Galactica a go, citing it as being “totally up [my] alley”. It hits all my “buttons” (so to speak): religion, mythology, post-apocalyptic narratives, forged families, etc. Spoilers follow beneath the cut.
