shadowkat1. Didn't like the last episode of Sherlock ss much as the middle episode, too plotty. Although the ending was good. It just kept leaping about, and was clearly working to redeem Sherlock and get across his humanity in the face of his dysfunctional family.
Curious -- anyone who knows the novels, how far have they leaped away from them?
2. Vampire Diaries - the relationship between Damon and Stefan reminds me a great deal of Angel and Spike, except less ambiguous and more defined. It also does a nifty job of talking about how the past can destroy you or heal you. Not to mention the power of love. I like the brother dynamic a great deal, and this past episode was among the better ones. Good television last week.
3. This is Us was also good last week in how it explored the family dynamic and the various inter-relationships within it. It can feel a bit over-the-top at times but overall it works for me.
I'm on the fence about doing the Women's March in NYC next Saturday, apparently this is an all day thing? And it's around the old work place in mid-town Manhattan. We'll be leaving the workplace on Friday, not sure I want to head back to it on Saturday to march up to an area that I've been steadfastedly avoiding for the last year. Also there's going to be over 50,000 people doing this. Ack.
I don't do parades people. Me and crowds are unmixy things.

Date: 2017-01-16 08:18 am (UTC)To show numbers in the streets is of invaluable political power. It really does show the ruling class, that they cannot do everything without facing trouble. And it does annoy Trump. He has already shown how easily he is stung by criticism.
And aside from that, joining such protests physically really helps with the depressing post election feeling that the whole world has gone mad. To physically stand next to other people, who will stand up to Trump and his ilk, might help to regain some faith in humanity.

Date: 2017-01-16 11:12 pm (UTC)It depends on my comfort level on Saturday. I'm not going to the DC March -- not possible. The NYC one is more possible, but could very well turn out to be a logistical nightmare. Keep in mind there is already 100,000 people in that area. They'll be adding a 50,000-60,000 more. And I'm packing up my office to move from that area the day before, and the movers will be moving our office that day...
