time and relative dimension in space

Possibly I just spent entirely too much time on Lostpedia figuring out when various LOST kids were born. Hey, did you know that Megan Pace, Clementine Ford, and Julian Carlson were all about the same age? Also, Ji Yeon Kwon and Charlie Hume are closer together in age than I thought they were.

Day 10 ♥ A show you thought you wouldn’t like but ended up loving

Dollhouse has to be the big one. Virtually nothing about the concept appealed to me, and I really had no interest in checking it out, but teh Niki wheedled me into it. First I got hooked on Topher, then Boyd caught my appreciation, then I fell for Sierra/Victor, then Adelle was all badass over the place, and then it went all cyberpunk, and by the end of the first season I was kind of head-over-heels for it. Which I did not expect. At all.

Day 03 ♥ Your Favorite New Series Episode

It's a tie between "Vincent and the Doctor" and "Smith and Jones" with honorable mentions going to "The Doctor's Daughter" for the fab Ten/Martha/Donna teamup, "Blink" for freaking me out, and "The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances" for Jaaaaaaaack. In WWII. With creepy gasmask kids.

"Smith and Jones" is one of the best companion-introduction stories ever. ("We might die." "We might not.") The alien threat is fairly clever. (Judoon! On the moon!) And Martha is completely ridiculously awesome. ("Are we trespassing on the moon?")

"Vincent and the Doctor" get massive, major points from me for its handling of mental illness, and even aside from that Amy and Vincent and Eleven have a fabulous chemistry with each other, the Rory mentions are well-done, and visually it's a gorgeous episode. But hell yes the mental illness issues are a major reason of why I rank it so high.

In conclusion, two things:

1) This cast is ridiculously awesome.

2) CURSE YOUR SUDDEN BUT INEVITABLE BETRAYAL, JOSS WHEDON.

( tonight's Dollhouses )

In summary: sketchy show is AWESOME.

So the word of the week appears to be "badass" rather than "sketchy", which is innnnteresting.


Ooh! And when we come back ( SPOILERS from the next-episode preview )

Overheard: "So I was seriously scared that between how much I drank last night and how much I was sweating today that I'd walk out and hear some kid say, 'Mommy, why does Badger smell like Daddy?'"

During intermission for Twelfth Night tonight, Portland and I got on headset and started chanting the ASM's name in creepy whispers until she got on headset and yelled at us for being creepy. Then we started chanting the SM's name, until the ASM pointed out he wasn't on headset and so it was ineffective, so we started with one of the actors' names, and she pointed out that he never goes on headset ever, so we started with "We're bored" "Really bored" until the SM got on headset and then we chanted his name until he went "I'M GOING TO RUN AWAY IF YOU KEEP DOING THAT".

In our defense, we were really, really bored.

Also, I less than three my changeover crew. We finished tonight's changeover so fast omg. (Okay, so it was Twelfth -> Willows, which is our easiest changeover. Still. SO FAST.)

Also also, in a week I will be UNEMPLOYED. Unemployed, you guys. *sadfaces*


...non-work stuff? Um.

...I have a ridiculous amount of fandom consumption to get caught up on. I still haven't seen the last two episodes of Kings. Or all of Children Of Earth. Or the most recent episode of Psych. Or the two unaired episodes of Dollhouse. Or even the last episode of Pushing Daisies (which I am afraid to watch because then it will be really over omg). Also the tenth book of Everworld. And ARDU's rendition of "The Unknown".

I have all of these, I just haven't watched/read/listened to them yet. I'm so behind. It's tragic, really. Also, I maybe have too many fandom obsessions.

Spent a good chunk of the day lying on the couch cringing from headache pain. Bah. Finally my mom came home with Excedrin and I took it (and if you know anything of my aversion to medication you should realize how much pain I was in) and eventually the headache broke up and I feel better now.

As I mentioned on Twitter, the kid brother is home for the summer now. He spent most of today complaining about not having a job, and then complaining about the TV remote not working. (And then complaining about BOTH AT ONCE.) I am sad to no longer have the house to myself all day during the week.

I may have figured out an answer to the Conor/Tess subplot conundrum. Now I just have to figure out how Conor comes to own a restaurant.

The Tony reactions at broadwaysecrets this week are hilarious, OMG. But I'd totally kill to see Hunter, Jeff, Susan, and Heidi host the awards, ngl, that would be awesome.

Dollhouse season finale starts momentarily!

This is like one of those buddy-cop movies where you're the hard-nosed cop and I'm the guy who hates buddy-cop movies!

I LOVE YOU, [name withheld for casting spoiler].

WORDS CANNOT PROPERLY EXPRESS MY LOVE FOR YOU.

<3 <3 <3

...THAT'S ALL.
