selenakStill busy with catching up here, and still time-harrassed, so, in bullet points:
The Good Wife 2.21.: loved it. Terrific showcase for both Alicia and Julianna M. Also, got a kick as always out of Pattie (spelling? or is it Patti, or Patty?) aka Martha Plimpton.
Doctor Who 6.03: Stephen Moffat, please stop giving the less qualified of your buddies writing assignments, or if you do, then EDIT AND REWRITE SOME MORE. I mean, I didn't actively dislike this one the way I did last year's third episode with their double offense of iDaleks and jolly old Winston, but Curse of the Black Spot was really a waste of a good concept. For what can be done with the idea of a pirates! Doctor Who episode, consult the Big Finish audio Doctor Who and the Pirates. Which manages to both play with pirate clichés in a hilarious manner and tell an ultimately very moving story for which the Companion's development is crucial. And plays with unreliable narrator/changing perspectives fun. And is a musical in which the Doctor sings "I am the very model of a Gallifreyan Buccaneer".
Fringe: I'll try to find the time for an overall season 3 post.
In other new, I've been podficced again!juniperphoenix did a great version of Tea and Sympathy, my ST: TNG/Doctor Who crossover in which Guinan and the Doctor (several of him) keep running into each other.
