I immediately had a crush on Jewel Staite when I originally watched Firefly! Oddly, I didn't even remember Christina Hendricks whatsoever, and only learned she was in Firefly after I found out who she was once Mad Men hit big

The mechanic is much more attractive in the show than she is in Steef's pic. She's a little sweetheart.

Too many drunk here on the Josh Wheaton flavored Kool Aid.

Coincidentally, that's exactly how I view Roddenberry stuff.

Roddenberry's stuff > Joss' stuff

I've never seen Cabin in the woods, but The Avengers is the least Whedonesque thing of his I've seen. He was making a big commercial movie there, not another home grown project.

Dollhouse is one of the best shows of the 10s

I think he's excellent at banter, characters, and their interactions/dynamics.

Indeed, I think that the interaction/dynamics of the characters is his specialty. Sorta like Tarantino but different. There' a natural spontaneous synergy between his characters. It doesn't feel forced or artificial. That's why I prefer Whedon and not Abrams for Disney's Star Wars movies, for interaction is what is sorely missing in the prequels.

Note, because Whedom tends towards 'playfulness' and avoids being 'overserious', some people might find him a bit light on the drama side.

Where did you read that?

It's my own opinion. Fucking loved that show.

Girls 3x01 Females Only

Mostly a boring episode, with a few laugh out loud moments. Shoshanna continues to be my favorite character. No different really than season 2 so far.

We decided to give Falling Skies a try after hearing good things about it. Didn't make it past the twenty minutes mark.

So, AMC and HBO produce all the greatness; while Spielberg still produces all the cheesy shite.

The Lost formula again, I suppose? A small community must survive and cope with a mysterious or alien threat? Right?

I held the box in my hand but something told me that I was not going to like the series.

Spielberg did produce that war thingy for HBO, although technically speaking, it's a miniseries.

Talking about war miniseries, I finished the 5 episodes of Parade's End (Metacritic: 73%) and I didn't like it. It started off fairly okay but later it felt sloppy and rushed.

Downton Abbey Season 4 (including Christmas Special)


Overall a good season, but better than the depressing and repetitive Season 3. As much as I would have preferred that they didn't kill off Cybil AND Matthew, seeing how the characters move on without them has been well-done. A lot of times on the show the stories for the staff members are more interesting than the Granthams themselves, but this year everyone got interesting stories. The rape and murder storyline was a bit dragged out for sure, but the way it resolved, and then the extra coda in the Christmas Special was nice. The only repetitive storyline this year was Mary leading two suitors along, didn't that happen enough in the early years?


The christmas special was hilarious in that Tom and Mary's children didn't appear once, as they covert about Downton and Londo and whatever else, not even once did they mention or ask about their kids lol.

Hit & Miss

It's an interesting one-off series. I can see where people would group this in with Paul Abbott's Shameless (a group of children being forced to grow up quickly with the loss of a parent), but it lacks a lot of that black humor and it's well... grim at times. The plot is certainly a high-concept one: a transgender hit woman (Chloe Sevigny) finds herself thrown for a loop when her ex-girlfriend dies, leaving her as the legal guardian of their children. It mostly treats the concept seriously without being ridiculous, but the tonal shifts can be jarring -- one moment Mia is trying to bond with her four young charges, and then the next scene has her ruthlessly offing her next target. That sort of thing.

I do like the questions it poses, and it never goes for an easy way out. Would've liked to see how a second season would've fared.
