The Cowardly Dog is nudging me with her nose because I happened to make the mistake of mentioning 'go' and 'chain', and that, in Cowardly Dogspeak, is 'we will now go out for a walk.' Even if it is 11 AM, and we never go out for walks at this hour.

House 7.03 was surprisingly enjoyable. ( spoilers )

Meanwhile, on THE OLIVIA DUNHAM SHOW, ( OLIVIA >>>> EVERYTHING ELSE )

Here, have a pretty flower.

I caved and watched without A. It's very late, so some brief thoughts.( House 7.01 )

And now I really cannot keep my eyes open, so off I go to bed.

Further Legend of the Seeker, now upto 1.20: Oh ho, show, was that moral complexity you were trying to achieve? Aww. *pets show*

Kahlan, though, continues to be fabulous, and at this point I am totally watching the Awesome Kahlan, Magnificent Zedd and their Eager Little Sidekick with the Magic Sword aka. the Seeker show. At this point, the show seems to be writing the Awesome Kahlan, Magnificent Zedd and their Eager Little Sidekick with the Magic Sword aka. the Seeker show. I've also discovered that the show is x100 funnier if you pretend the D'Haran soldiers are actually the Roman soldiers from Asterix (Darken Rahl = Caesar?). It certainly explains their, er, competence.

Meanwhile, a couple of spoiler-y things from the last House episode: ( spoilers under cut )

This is the promo for the next House episode (6.14).

Episode reaction will come later when I have time to type it. Meanwhile, discuss.

+ All this talk of MANPAIN reminds me: you know who doesn't have MANPAIN (so far, anyway)? Castle! And that's one of the many reasons why I adore him. And, also, there is this great post (via metafandom on the representation of fans and fannishness; it discusses, among other things, Castle's little nod to Firefly fans by having Nathan Fillion dress up as a space cowboy in the Halloween episode. But you know what (who) - as far as I'm concerned - the show's biggest nod to us fannish types is? Beckett! Beckett, who is a complete and utter fangirl, who knows the tiniest details of the worst episodes books and stands in line for an hour to get her book signed, who makes time for the new book amidst everything - and who somehow also manages to be a sane person, who is competent and efficient, who does not wallow in her womanpain and does not melt into a fangirly puddle every time Castle is in front of her. Beckett is one of us, and I cannot tell you how much that pleases me.

+ You know how I have been threatening to Have Thoughts about the Lydia episode in Broken ever since the episode aired? Here, have some tl;dr. ( spoilers through 6.08 )

I LOVE Doris Egan. That is all. ♥♥♥

Actually, that's not all. ( spoiler for the post and Known Unknowns )
