Catching up after insane business and before continuation of same, part II:
( Those Doctor Who casting news )Re: the latest
House episode:
( An observation or two )On to other fandoms:
Iron Man (and superhero films in general):
Power and Accountability is a great essay, and the point made vis a vis the differences between this particular comics-to-movie transition in comparison to both the
Spider-man and the
Batman franchise is a great one.
Battlestar Galactica:There are songs I connect to specific vids, and so a vid using the same song automatically has an inner hurdle to overcome. "Clint Eastwood" is such a song, because
sisabet did an absolutely fantastic vid based on the Buffy episode
Restless (but using the entire show for the developments of the four characters) a couple of years ago. And yet
this vid about Gaius Baltar by
bop_radar completely managed to overcome my viewer problem. It captures the comedy and the tragedy, the insane and oddly compelling journey of the BSG storyline I tend to call
Life of Gaius throughout the show. (Gaius Baltar: least likely character to fall for - I mean, I loved Roslin right from the start, wasn't surprised to go from finding Six compelling to loving her, and given my thing for Albee-like relationships wasn't suprised to take to Tigh and Ellen, either, but I never expected Baltar to sneak up on me the way he did.)
