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.

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

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

Okay, caught up on Misfits.
That is...quite a show, considering it's more or less about a group of deeply stupid people. Except for Simon. They need to listen to Simon a lot more.
