shapinglightThose of you I buy comics for, they're in the post. I hope you enjoy them more than I did.
I expect everyone knows by now that Dollhouse has been cancelled. I suppose I knew it was on the cards but I'm sad about it all the same. It was just so nice to have something Jossian I really enjoyed for the first time since AtS ended. Oh well. At least we'll get all 13 episodes so that's something.
Not a lot left on telly really, though I'm still watching True Blood. Spoilers for last night's ep (season 1, ep 6 I think) behind cut. And please nobody spoiler me for anything later.
And on the subject of spoilers, there are now 3 shows I'm trying to avoid spoilers for, True Blood, Mad Men and Dollhouse, and from January there'll be Caprica as well. And there was me thinking that now I'd finally got to the end of BSG I wouldn't be madly trying to dodge spoilers all the time. Oh well, at least that won't happen with Being Human.
Last night's ep of True Blood was the one with Sookie's grandmother's funeral. I'm still finding this show drags at times, plus do you think we were supposed to laugh at Sookie's decision to dress up in a floaty white negligee thingy before running off across the graveyard to hershagfest romantic tryst with Bill? I may have been quietly hysterical at that point, a situation not helped by the fact that there were adverts for Twilight: New Moon in almost all the ad breaks. However, I doubt we were supposed to take it without a big dose of irony. Or am I wrong?
Maybe I am. Read an article in the Guardian during the week singing the show's praises, in which the writer said that the creator of True Blood (whose name I can't remember, I'm afraid), has never seen BtVS, which I can well believe, and conceived of his show as a great romance. If that's the case, I really can't see the show following what I've been told is the pattern of the books and letting the Bill/Sookie relationship lapse while Sookie pairs up with Eric/Sam or whatever. That is, unless Bill is going to get his own show. :)
Tara and Lafayette are still my favourite characters. Best scenes in this ep, Tara facing down Jason after he slapped Sookie and Tara chasing all thegawkers commiseraters away.
