May. 6th, 2013 03:17 pmI'm so bad at letting things go when they annoy me.
Week of April 29:
Television:
Doctor Who 7x10, "Journey to the Heart of the TARDIS"
Hannibal 1x02, "Amuse-bouche"
Hannibal 1x03, "Potage"
Hannibal 1x04, "Coef"
Hannibal 1x05, "Coquilles"
Elementary 1x19, "Snow Angel"
Elementary 1x20, "Dead Man's Switch"
Warehouse 13 4x11, "The Living and the Dead" (Distracting stunt casting is distracting.)
Movies:
Iron Man 3 (More than makes up for the wild mediocrity of Iron Man 2. omg, if you haven't yet and you're digging these movies, go see it.)
Books:
Feed, Mira Grant (the first in a trilogy that compellingly demonstrates how something that gets off to such a good start can go so badly wrong. Feed is an excellent book if, like me, you love stupidly detailed worldbuilding and a solid political conspiracy plot. The trilogy as a whole becomes frustrating as hell if, like me, you are thoroughly tired of horror stories killing off female characters as fast as they can create them, along with plenty of other problematic shit and flaws in the writing that can be overlooked in just one book but become glaring stretched out over three. Throw in a third-novel revelation that makes chunks of the first two come off as disingenuous at best, and the only reason I'm rereading the whole trilogy instead of just the first book is because I'm trying to remember in more detail just why it pissed me off so much.)
