1. Watching this insane video series on MTV called Ridiculous which so far has managed to make me very happy I've never tried the pogo bouncing stick. And saw a turtle having an sexual orgasm. Stopped when they decided to show a video of some guy beating up some other guy and shouting at him and his girlfriend or they were all shouting and beating on each other - which was giving me headache. Off now.

boring personal stuff )

2.At the laundry mat, I read an article in EW about Sarah Michell Gellar-Prinze's new show Ringer. She was on the cover of it. Bits about the SMG interview and the difference between tv and movies... )

Regarding Ringer? about Ringer, with very very vague spoilers )

3.Been thinking redemptive stories, in part because there have been a few posts on it on live journal, and often posts by others, regardless of whether I comment, will percolate for a bit in my own head until I post myself on it.

Where I attempt to explain what I like about redemptive arcs and where they work and where they really don't work. OR what makes a good redemptive character arc. Hint - it's not the actual redemption. Lots of spoilers - Being Human, The Wire (although very very vague for The Wire, Dexter & Being Human), Doctor Who, Farscape, Angel, and Buffy  )

Okay enough rambling...off to watch either Fringe or Mao's Last Dancer, before tonight's Doctor Who, which is most likely another horror episode - sans Doctor Song. My difficulty with Who, is that I don't tend to like the stand-a-lone episodes that much, with a few exceptions.

1. nerdy sniping at George Lucas for fiddling with Star Wars AGAIN. If I can't ruin my series completely the first round, try try again, or I need to make more money off of something, and have run out of new ideas. )

2. Doctor Who - Night Terrors. (I think that was the name of the last episode.) Not bad for a Mark Gatsiss episode, although...it's probably just me, but I don't think this writer likes or can write for female characters, and should be exchanged for a female writer - or so says the rabid feminist in me. Down rabid feminist! Down! (Don't worry the rest of the review is not in this tone. Not that you were, but just in case.)

Spoilery thoughts )
