bearshortyYesterday’s search for my historical atlas, inspired me to go through my Box of Crap and actually throw out anything that was not necessary anymore like old book catalogues. I also putting everything that was left in the box in some better order.
I went to the postoffice/library/comic book store walk this afternoon and by the library there was this gigantic dog, the size of the horse. (Strangely enough I’m not that afraid of really big dogs). This dog was ridiculously huge.
Buffy Season 8 #39. So this season does not make sense at all and waiting for it to redeem itself is useless since there is only one issue left. The plot holes are just too big to ignore and the story does not work. Angel’s motivations are so shady in this series and they just don’t make sense at all. And Angel would never just forget about his son or want to sacrifice all of humanity. In this issue, I read it and felt absolutely no emotional resonance, it just doesn’t feel like canon anymore. Angel as Twilight, or whatever he is now, kills Giles in the same way pretty much as Angelus killed Jenny. And the older I get the more I love Giles. But it didn’t really matter how much I love Giles. When I was reading this it was just reading a story, I didn’t care about it other than a plot point. I didn’t care. This season and comic book series started with such promise but with Twilight reveal and space sex it really jumped the shark. Even Spike can’t make it too much better. I’ll buy the last issue but no Season 9 for me. It might be interesting to see what they will do with the end of magic but I’m not that interested.
Coldplay's “Christmas Lights” music video.
As I was flipping to “Community” during a commercial break on “Bones” I caught them giving a shout out to “Farscape.” That was awesome! Can’t wait for the whole episode tomorrow. I’m not going to do “Bones” reviews that much anymore; it is just a regular show now. I can really like Hannah and her relationship with Booth except that the writers set that whole relationship up as a place holder. I really wish they could just leave Booth and Brennan separate. Next week, angst. I would watch “Community” instead of “Bones” at 8pm except that I actually like watching my comedies online with fewer commercials.
