Hi! How's your week going? I had a few minutes this morning so I thought I'd throw together a few links.
Chris Pine and Jake Gyllenhaal as the princes in Into the Woods? That would be amazing.
Oooh, finally, a trailer for The Bridge.
A Medieval Times movie? HAHAHAHA.
I have concerns.
Reconstructing Neolithic Homes
Oooh, Castle card game!

What I Watched: Awake Finale, Men at Work Premiere, & More
Live-ish: Awake, "Turtles All the Way Down (EP113)" - I'm so, so sad that this show is over, but I think the finale was fitting, and I'm glad that it provided a form of emotional resolution but didn't give pat answers to the central mystery. Though, frankly, I'm still not sure what to make of it. But maybe that's the point.
Men at Work, "Pilot (EP101)," "Heterotextual Male (EP102)" - I watched this to review for TheTelevixen, so I'll link once that piece is up. Spoiler: This show is awful.
Live+7: White Heat, "The Dark Side of the Moon (EP103)" - I'm finding the 1970s stuff less interesting than the 1960s stuff was, and some of the interpersonal plot lines are a little hard to follow through the time jumps, but I'm still liking this enough to want to see it through.
Catching Up: Lost Girl, "Fae Day (EP109)" - I loved this episode because of all it revealed about fae culture, and because of all the good Dyson time. I liked both that Dyson started to admit his feelings and that we discovered he's keeping secrets from Bo, too. Everything will have to blow up eventually! Whee!
The Killing, "Stonewalled (EP108)" - Linden's still only on her fourth outfit for the series, not that I'm counting. And I love that we're learning more about Holder. Their dynamic is really interesting, not least because it's a break from the usual will they/won't they or even one serious/one goofy, because they're both serious, just in different ways.
Magic City, "Atonement (EP104)," "Suicide Blonde (EP105)" - This is still a lot of fun and I'm still annoyed that no one I know is watching it, so I'll have a post trying to convince you to try it up at noon.
Fairly Legal, "Shine a Light (EP204)" - My main problem with this show - and the reason why I'm so behind - is still that I'm not wild about the main character. More Lauren! More Justin! I'd rather watch a show centering on either of them than Kate.
On the list... Rookie Blue

What I Watched: Revenge & Apt 23 Finales & More
Live-ish: Don't Trust the B---- in Apt 23, "Shitagi Nashi (EP107)" - This wasn't the sort of finale that obviously feels like a finale, but it was a fun episode. I like that they're giving JVDB more to do on his own, rather than always in conjunction with the girls, and I know I say this every week, but he's so good on this show. The girls ended the season as friends, which I expected, but I'm curious to see what they do next season now that a lot of that initial tension is gone.
Revenge, "Reckoning (EP122)" - Now that felt like a finale. Some of the twists were a little predictable, but some surprised me, and as a Nolan fan I am happy to see that he remains THE BESTEST. I'm curious about Emily's mother but not surprised that she's alive, and I'm completely skeptical about the plane crash. I really like that they blew up both sides of the love triangle, though I'm not thrilled that Amanda's back.
Catching Up: Lost Girl, "Vexed (EP108)" - Honestly, I'm having trouble getting to into the mystery of Bo's mother - I'm more interested in the dynamics between the main characters and the larger mythology stuff. I am also, for the record, in favor of Dyson working out shirtless. I liked that the Lauren stuff is more than it seemed, partially because, I'll admit, I'm on Team Dyson.
The Killing, "Vengeance (EP107)" - Linden's still wearing the same few sweaters. I'm still enthralled.
Rookie Blue - I like cop shows, and my beloved NYC 22 was canceled, and I like networks putting scripted stuff on in the summer, so I figured it was time to give this one a try. I'm not super-attached yet, but liking it well enough so far.

What I Watched: The L.A. Complex, The Killing, & More
Live-ish: The L.A. Complex, "Home (EP105)" - This episode was almost painful to watch. THESE POOR KIDS ALL NEED HUGS. It was still incredibly good, though, and again, Jewel Staite blew me away. There's only one more episode on the CW, and I really really hope there will be some way for US viewers to see the rest.
Catching Up: Lost Girl, "ArachnoFaebia (EP107)" - Ah, the classic "everyone's secret issues with each other are heightened by spider-induced paranoia" premise! This was done well, because all the issues seemed completely organic, even if the extent to which they were bothering our heroes was exaggerated. Though I must say: I kind of just want to knock Bo and Dyson's heads together at this point.
Magic City, "Castles Made of Sand (EP103)" - This new plotline about Ike's dead wife's sister is intriguing, and I love the way this show is coming to revolve around the intersection of family, duty, and ambition. My main complaint is that I'm still having a little trouble telling all the characters apart. The scene at the end, in which Jeffrey Dean Morgan contemplatively eats rugelach, is one of my new favorite things ever.
The Killing, "A Soundless Echo (EP104)," "Super 8 (EP105)," "What You Have Left (EP106)" - It was cool and rainy yesterday, so I was in the perfect mood for this. I think my favorite thing about this show so far is the way the characters look and dress like real people. I'm enjoying the intersection of politics and the murder investigation, but am getting slightly sick of the "Linden's getting on a plane at any moment! Really!" thing.

What I Watched: Sherlock, Magic City, & More
Live+7: Sherlock, "The Reichenbach Fall (EP203)" - This episode was well-done, and it had a few moments and scenes that I loved, but it left me realizing that I'm just not as into this show as I want to be, or as everyone else in the universe seems to be. I think it's a little too self-conscious and gimmicky for my taste - especially my taste in mysteries. I think Moffat's dedication to showing how smart he is takes away from the traditional mystery aspects, and this episode, particularly, just came across as overwrought. I'll watch the next season, of course, but I like it rather than love it.
Catching Up: Lost Girl, "Food for Thought (EP106)" - This was a fun one, and I liked the way Kenzi's involvement in the fae-of-the-week story solidified her friendship with Dyson. They have a great dynamic.
The Killing, "El Diablo (EP103)" - Still loving it. I'm sort of still waiting to turn on it the way everyone else has, but right now I feel like I could happily watch Holder sulk around smoking fake weed and Linden looking disapproving but resigned forever. How much can I watch before I become obsessed with knitting oversized sweaters?
Magic City, "Feeding Frenzy (EP102)" - I was wondering why I haven't heard anyone talking about this show, then realized that the fact that I loved the pilot but hadn't watched any more meant I was really part of the problem. So I'm catching up! I loved this almost as much as the pilot, and especially liked the bat mitzah plotline and the continued Cuba stuff.
On the list... Lost Girl
