  1. Because that's what pirates do! Because that's what pirates do!

    ...We're just going to pretend that I haven't blogged about Gokaiger because I was purposely waiting to be two episodes in so I could have more informed opinions about the show and characters. :D

  2. One week to pirate shenanigans!

  4. Date Akira, huh?

    Now THAT's what I like to see in my Kamen Rider. And I need to watch OOO faster. :D; (Via Silverwind)

  5. 'Skeletons' - Law & Order UK

    I thought I would have a lot to say about this episode, but I got to end and all I can is, that last scene just KILLED me. Ben Daniels and Freema Agyeman did su…

    I'll tell you what you are to me. You're my God-given solace. –Derek Morgan ...Why are Derek and Garcia not officially a couple? It's a little ridiculous that t…

  7. 'Honour Bound' Law & Order UK series 2 finale 'Honour Bound' Law & Order UK series 2 finale

    Really enjoyed this episode. It had my favorite characters doing their thing, and the title sort of directly applies to their choices and actions in the episode. They all do what they believe is the right thing to do, and it's interesting how each goes about it in a different way, and more so how it puts them at odds.

  9. OOO 13-14: maniacal doctor on a rampage! OOO 13-14: maniacal doctor on a rampage!

    The Yummy from these episodes was spawned by a gifted surgeon who wasn't being allowed to do surgeries. Her pride led to Cazali using her to create a Yummy, and really, the point of these two episodes is about pride... or excess pride, rather.

    "I'm just trying to do what needs to be done." —Hino Eiji Firstly, yes, that is what Eiji does, and that's why he's effective, he just does what he ne…

  11. A Game of Thrones

    Spent the weekend reading A Game of Thrones... no, I hadn't before now, and yes, I decided to do it because I want to know the story before the HBO series rolls…

  12. OOO eps 9-10: In which we find out Eiji's backstory in full OOO eps 9-10: In which we find out Eiji's backstory in full

    1. Ankh is being pwned by both Hina and Chiyoko, in very different ways. And by Satonaka, actually. So basically by any woman he meets. 2. Like I already posted, Eiji and Hina are adorable together. Him being instinctively protective of her is cute, obviously, but there's also the way she's coming to understand him, in particular how she realizes that Eiji is the man he is because of what happened in the village. And because of it, there's understanding and support growing there... it reminds me a little of Natsumi and Tsukasa before Hibiki world, before Yonemura made her more damsel in distress than supportive friend and partner.

  13. Eiji and Hina in ep 9

    Aww, that's cute. And really really blatant ship-bait. :D; Have I mentioned how happy it makes me that Eiji is an attractive young dude as opposed to a waify pr…

  14. OOO episodes 5-6: 'Give and take' OOO episodes 5-6: 'Give and take'

    Wanting things isn't bad in and of itself. What's important is what you do with those feelings. 1. I like Eiji more and more. I like how he doesn't judge anyone…

  15. OOO's supporting characters in eps 7-8 OOO's supporting characters in eps 7-8

    So I'm thinking I've reached the point in OOO in which it hits its stride and characters and dynamics start to get interesting. I still don't really OOO's various suit designs, I'm not really into the whole props during battle aspect of the action (particularly the mantis appendages/weapons), but the underlying Buddhist theme makes it very interesting, Hino Eiji is quite likable, Ankh is fascinating, and at this point characters I knew I'd like are starting to get more screentime... and characters I didn't expect to care much about one way or the other have snuck up on me.

  16. Hello there, Gotou's BFG

    This makes me think perhaps I should be catching up on OOO.

    And so, Kamen Rider OOO catch-up begins! I'd actually already watched episode 4, but never posted about it/kind of forgot, so I rewatched. Very quick thoughts t…

    Quick thoughts about episode 10 of season 2 of Criminal Minds, because it was just so good: 1. Chess! Of course, chess is a thing on Criminal Minds, but I like …

  19. It was a work call!

  20. Criminal Minds, season 1 Criminal Minds, season 1

    Apparently after years of following mostly heavily serialized dramas and tokusatsu, I'm now all about crime procedural dramas... and House sort of counts, since House is Sherlock Holmes and all that. Anyway. I had not really watched Criminal Minds, started to, in part because a friend loves it, in part because it's after Survivor, now that Survivor is back on Wednesdays. And as I tend to do when I like a show that's already been running several seasons, I've gone back to watch older episodes, and I just finished season 1.
