I watched the first episode of Kingdom the other night and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and how easy it was to become absorbed in the story. I think I'd be enjoying it even if there weren't any fantastical elements.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Mini-donuts: Did J.K. Rowling BUY the SyFy network? Every time I channel surf past or look at a programming guide it's playing one of the Harry Potter movies.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Oh, you guys, The Magicians. I miss them already.

What the fuck, S3 finale of The Magicians? WHAT THE FUCK.
(I mean, I'll be honest: I'm spoiled all the way through the end of the series. Even so, seeing the Monster in Eliot was fucked up.)

Did anyone else see the season premiere of What We Do in the Shadows ? The ghosts episode had me rolling on the floor! So good to see Jeff back again (well, sort of).

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I don't have cable, so I hadn't seen Battlestar Galactica when it was new, but it's now on a (free) broadcast channel so I've been enjoying it. However, with the opening about the Cylons having a plan it hit me - is Elizabeth Warren a Cylon? she always has a plan ....

Our wings are not tired.
I've been wanting to rewatch BSG, and somewhere I own the DVDs. The balance is watch the currently broadcast episodes, or find the dang DVDs and hook up a player since I don't even have that setup at the moment. I miss the awesome music from that series.

I love the music. And I'm enjoying the show - I'd watched the original version and I think the newer one is better.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
(I own the BSG soundtrack CD)
I think it's interesting how much BSG relied on Firefly's innovations--there are numerous visual tributes, in fact, in one of the early episodes when Roslin is waiting in her doctor's office, Serenity passes over the skylight. But Bear McCreary picked up on Greg Edmondson's multi-national music intercutting and improved on it. And of course, there were a few, early-on instances of silent explosions in space. It used to bug me that everybody was using new tech from Firefly...but now I see it as tribute.
Um--sorry for the OT

Herding cats for fun
I got some good laughs from What We Do In The Shadows, particularly Nadja befriending her ghost and the energy vampire guy.
