1. Book Trivia...doing the Never Ending Book Quiz on Good Reads has made me realize that I remember a lot more useless trivia from Kurt Vonnegurt's books than I thought possible.
The annoying thing? I keep screwing up on questions I definitely know the answer to, so my score isn't accurate. Example? I know who wrote Jane Eyre dammit. Not to mention Chronicles of Narnia.
2. Buffy...ten years later, or close enough..which were my favorite or memorable episodes, most memorable or the one's I considered the best might be a better listing, don't rightly know. At any rate, I've read various top ten lists lately regarding Buffy and I don't agree with any of them. So doing my own list of the best episodes. Note, stating best, not favorite, not emotionally pleasing, but best written, filmed, acted, and structured. Episodes that I think made Buffy amongst of the best television serials of the 20th and 21st Centuries and worthy of all of the scholary attention it has gotten. These are the episodes that should be taught in film schools and provided to snobby new viewers.
The 10 Best Buffy Episodes or Ground-Breaking Episodes of All Time or the Critically Speaking Best Episodes of the Series (note not necessarily emotional favorites) : These are the Episodes that blew me away based on how they told the story or narrative structure. Each of the following episodes is notable for doing something that I hadn't seen done on tv or trying something new and different. They are episodes that I want to or have written meta on.
( The BEST Buffy Episodes )
3. In other Buffy news...or for the Whedon fans out there. Although I'm guessing they already know this. ABC has optioned Whedon's in-development TV series "Nick Fury's Shield", which he's co-writing with his brother Jed and his sister-in-law. Whedon will write the pilot and direct it. (I've mixed feelings. I think I've finally burned out on this specific genre. So while Whedon's writing fascinates me or it did in the past, the whole comic book genre...not so much any longer. But I'll most likely check it out.)
