Angel ,'Chosen'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!
I just started on the 4th abbreviated season of Nikita and OMG I love this show.
Side note - Birkohff is the only one who uses Niki (or some variant on that diminutive) as opposed to the full Nikita, right:? That's got to be plot point at some point. Also, isn't she the only one who calls him "nerd" as a matter of course, though she does use his real name at times?
I worry about Birkohff a lot. Him and his lady love seem the most vulnerable to me at this juncture in the series.
AHS: Oh, Elsa. Oh, everybody, really. The new characters are great -- I was surprised by the twist! And the Bette/Dot scecne was really horrifying. I keep waiting to have nightmares about Twisty, though.
Everything is working so well this season! ::knocks wood::
I guess that the story is more cohesive on AHS this season and yet I'm enjoying it way less than I did last season. I'm bored by Dandy. I really hope Francis Conroy kills him at some point because hers seems the more interesting character. And I really have no interest in seeing a love triangle between Esmeralda, Dot/Bette and Jimmy. Like at all.
That said, I am still enjoying the heck out of Jessica Lange. She just tears into everything. Kathy Bates is giving a really great performance as well, once you get past the accent. I wish they were giving Angela Basset more to do, but perhaps they will.
Given that I was so done with the show at the end of last season that I didn't even think I'd watch again, I suppose the fact that I'm still watching is a good sign. Still not scary at all, but I never really had a thing about clowns.
This week's episode was just pain on top of pain. And Matt Bomer was so great as Andy! Until, you know, Dandy showed up. Michael Chiklis really surprised me, too -- his Del was so believable with Andy, and so incredibly sad.
The one question I have is the doctor, who is pretty much perfectly understanding and patient in every way. He seems too perfect, you know? Although I guess maybe the point of it is how Del reacts to him, when he's actually a dream come true for Angela Bassett's character? Like, here's the answer to your wife's dreams, and you're going to take it away because of how it affects *you*.
OMG those are awesome! I want one!
craft post
- who are active knitter or crocheters?
I have not knitted in probably 3 years and I have decided it is time to part with yarn. If you are interested in looking at pics/descriptions of what I have email me.
I knit, but I am full of yarn. Perhaps Polgara?
I also knit, but I am trying to cut down on my stash, what with living on a rock in the middle of the ocean. Although, shipping may be about the same, especially if you use flat rate...shit. ok.
I love yarn but cannot work with wool (allergic) or super scratchy fibers.
My favorite is Bernat Blanket yarn. I lurve that stuff.
