Aug. 20th, 2021 05:30 pmIt was a nice surprise to find that there were four episodes on this dics, not two, as I’d expected, ( Read more... )
Scorpion Season 3 - Disc 5
Jun. 12th, 2021 12:41 pm‘Dirty Seeds, Done Cheap’ is good, ‘Don’t Burst My Bubble’ is better, ‘Monkey See’ less so and ‘Broken Wind’ is the weakest of the four episodes on this disc.

Oh, Scorpion, what have you done to me?
Apr. 5th, 2021 01:35 pmThis is how far behind I am on writing up my reaction posts (see below), I watched the final episode of season 4 last night, and without getting into any detail, I was gutted, because being the spoilerphobe I am, I’d taken the fact that the fourth season DVD is described as ‘The Final Season’ as meaning that the showmakers knew they weren’t coming back, if not at the start of the season, by at its end, and had written an appropriate send off. Nope. We had what would be an adequate season’s end, if another season was coming next. Grr. The show’s four seasons have been comfort viewing for about a year (a very difficult year - I can’t tell you how glad I’ve been that Sylvester Dodd is a fictional character living through an entirely different 2020-21) and now I’m left mumbling ‘Is there a comic book?’ And I don’t read comics however much I guzzle comics-inspired media. It’s a daft action drama that’s been off air for a few years with no canonical resolution. It’s never nice feeling kicked by American network TV ruthlessness.
(I know this will be a time for fanfiction, once I have processed a little. And ideally found the one disc I have somehow lost over the past few months. )
Scorpion season 3 - Disc 4.
I rated these four episodes about the same.

Recs 15/15 (last recs post of 2020)
Dec. 31st, 2020 10:15 amJust a coupe of recs to round off the year.
Speed
Chocolate Cake and Cucumbers: Missy (Jack/Annie drabble)
Context is everything for this curtainfic.
Ugly Betty
Sunshine and Seawater: yahtzee63 (Betty/Daniel ficlet)
Totally unseasonal, but it’s got the same warmth of heart and sympathy for the show as ths writer’s fics always have.
As you can see, I haven’t got round to reading anything from Yuletide yet.
If you enjoy any of these fanworks or others that I’ve recced (see tags below), please encourage their creators by letting them know. Also thank you to everyone who recs regularly, from which I often find fics to read and vids to watch etc, even if it can take me years to get round to doing so.
I rewatched all the fanvids I recced this year yesterday (and edited all the typos in those posts) and they all stood up to it. I wanted to point to one again, Dream by Gwyn, about fannish love, really, because since I first watched it, we lost Chadwick Boseman, so every time he appeared as T’Chaila/Black Panther, it caught at me. I suspect that this is a vid that will give you something different every time you watch it.

Of Christmas specials
Dec. 26th, 2020 08:49 amThere’s no getting around it, this Christmas is different, but some of the treats I’d planned for myself yesterday came off.
And there were TV Christmas specials.
Ghosts: The Ghost of Christmas (watched on Christmas Eve)
( Read more... )
Strictly Christmas special (watched on Christmas Day)
( Read more... )
I capped off the night by watching the Community season 3 Christmas episode, and laughed at and enjoyed all the songs, although Baby Boomer Santa is probably my favourite. And then, because I have a new Blu-Ray player since the last time I watched season 3, I watched the episode where Annie and Abed have a fight in the Dreamatorium, and this time it did not skip at all, so that was happy-making. Also Abed-as-Troy’s speech about not getting Inception made me laugh the most. <3 Community.

As that was clearly the season’s end, I thought it was a good time to pause there instead of watching a triple bill as usual, and I believe I’m ahead of what’s airing on BBC2. We’ll see how much Christmas telly schedules and Christmas hibernation 2020 style affects my BSG watching.
