Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Alisha has to. Her power's gone.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Dirk Gently: Just watched it this evening. I never read the book. I was bored at first but thought it picked up and was good fun by the end. The only problem I had plotwise was: How did the iPhone still work??! That's a hell of a battery!

Compassionately intolerant

This article with Steven Moffat, about the Christmas special, is snarky fun. (New York Times)

He says the Marilyn thing is just a gag. Hmph.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

interesting post of race/gender on Misfits for anyone who is interested.

The comments are pretty good too and not just all squee all the time.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm midway through Season 2. It's an interesting watch, though it's kind of too coarse for me sometimes. I will have more thoughts when I finish.

I am *so* loving Downton Abbey. I can't believe they're dumbing it down for US audiences. I'm not entirely sure what needs to be simplified. I'd never heard of "entail" before, and I get it.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

I am *so* loving Downton Abbey.

It's absolutely wonderful. The first good thing shown on ITV in decades. What are they doing to dumb it down?

They're cutting out an hour, doing something about the entail (seriously, I don't get entail--I just get that the guy is now the heir, end of story), and speeding it up so that he arrives in the first episode.
