Wasn't it glorious????? I am still obsessed. And it's likely going to be 2 years until next season.
Spike: Or maybe Captain Forehead was feeling a little less special. Didn't like me crashing his exclusive club, another vampire with a soul in the world. Angel: You're not in the world, Casper.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I read Anne Lister's diaries in graduate school back in the 90s and i'm SO GODDAMN DELIGHTED that she's no longer just "here's a thing you might hear of if you just happen to be studying 19th century queer studies stuff" which was pretty much the twelve of us in that seminar room and in summary OH PLEASE SEASON 2

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
First full trailer for the new HBO adaptation of His Dark Materials: [link]
I stalled on the books, but the trailer looks excellent, with spot-on cast. I never bothered with the film adaptation of The Golden Compass from several years ago but this looks much more promising. Maybe I'll pick up the books again.
Ruth Wilson and James McAvoy -- be still my heart.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
So, Watchmen. I haven't read the book in a while so a lot of the premiere was me going "Oh right, that's a reference to something" without having a terribly firm idea of what the reference was.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Just watched the Watchmen pilot and I am intrigued. I only read, like half the book years ago plus watched the Synder movie and tried hard to scrub it from my brain (*cringes in memory of "Hallelujah" sex scene) but I'm really digging to the way the show-runners have updated this adaptation for the present time. The world-building is complicated and meaty, and I like the sparseness of explanation -- even when things are WTF-making like the scenes with Jeremy Irons and his android? clone? servants (Tom Mison from Sleepy Hollow!). I guess Irons is supposed to be Ozymandias?
I love Regina King and psyched to see her front and center in something so high profile.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I was going to ignore Watchmen but now I think I'll give it a chance.
I wonder if I still have my old Rorschach t-shirt.

Because books.
Has anyone dipped into Catherine the Great yet?

I haven't read the novel, do I need to before I watch the show? I have it recorded.
