Really enjoying Covert Affairs at the moment. It's not great television - like Dexter or Buffy or for that matter even True Blood. But it is fun and far lighter than it's predecessors: Alias, La Femme Nikita (which was better written but far darker), and Dollhouse. Also a bit less sexist ( the lead dresses in a typical female business suite not a sex-kitten outfit). I'm already half in love with the blind hacker, Auggie, played by Christopher Gorham of Ugly Betty fame. Being Human while interesting, isn't blowing me away as expected. I think I've watched too many tv shows? Or maybe it's just my mood? Can't decide. ( spoilers S2 Being Human )
Posted the below comment in response to the following bit that I'd read in a friend's lj
This is from a recent Joss Whedon interview and was far from shocking to anyone who has read the writer's interviews in the past or spent much time analyzing the series:
( Whedon's quote about Spike in the recent interview and my response )
Bitchy mood this weekend. I think the combination of work stress and personal frustrations that I won't bore you with are pressing down on me. Also the inability to find a fun activity to do with other people next weekend that isn't going to cost me over 200 dollars.
But lovely morning at church. The sermon was about taking time to play, which I don't get to do enough. So we played at church. Drew the person next to us. Shared our drawings and laughed at them. Then pushed balloons around. It was more fun than it sounds. And in between a very good singer sang the Beatles songs - Dear Prudence and Yellow Submarine (which we also all sang as hymn). You have to love a church where you get to sing the song Yellow Submarine. (I adore the Beatles). The final musical number was The Flight of the Bumblebee.
