This, that and the other thing...Dance with Dragons and Defiance

1. Sci-fi Geek Co-worker is desperately trying to persuade me to watch the new Sy-fy series Defiance which he describes as being a lot like Firefly without the spaceship and Nathan Fillion. (And I'm guessing without Joss Whedon, Alan Tudyk, and Adam Baldwin which were basically the main reasons I watched Firefly, but why quibble?) In short he says it's part horse-opera and part sci-fi. (Co-worker is in his 60s, I feel the need to explain this in case of confusion. And yes, this is the same co-worker who skipped Storm of Swords in order to read Feast of Crows. Not to be confused with co-worker who talked me into giving Breaking Bad another try. I'm not certain these two co-workers have ever had a conversation.) At any rate.. I did DVR it. When and if I get around to it - which if he co-worker keeps pestering me, is going to be sooner than later. (I do question whether co-worker's taste sync well with mine - he's favorite shows after all are the cheesy Star Gates, Lost Girl, Warehouse 13, Eureka, Continnum, & Syfy's Being Human and he liked the Twilight book. OTOH he also liked Farscape and Buffy. BSG was too dark for him.)

2. Dance with Dragons update:

( spoilers )

Off to bed. Been up since 5:30 am. Am tired. I did write about Elementary but I dropped a tag and I hurt too badly to fix it. So it is gone. Frustrating, doesn't begin to cover my day. Oh well, time to go to bed, but first a hot shower.
