Television:
Doctor Who 7x11, "The Crimson Horror" (Yay Vastra and Jenny! Yay Clara feeling like an actual character to me for about thirty seconds! Yay
( spoiler ) And yet . . . somehow I still didn't care that much. idk, folks. idk.)
Elementary 1x21, "A Landmark Story"
Hannibal 1x06, "Entreé"
Scott and Bailey, series one (This SHOW. It is a show about women with men in supporting roles, and it's REALLY GOOD. And from what I've seen on theflist circle, IT GETS BETTER. And I don't care if it turns to crap, as long as it keeps being about women getting shit done.)
Warehouse 13 4x12, "Parks and Recreation" (W13, I usually love you for your inclusiveness, but if you don't stop making( spoiler ) about Artie's pain, we are going to have words. Even if I totally cried anyway. Also, what was up with Steve's buying-a-vowel joke about written Chinese? AWKWARD. DON'T DO THAT.)
Hannibal 1x07, "Sorbet"
Elementary 1x23, "Risk Management"
Scott and Bailey series two (Still awesome. Series three just happened/is possibly still happening, so I'll be watching that as soon as I can get hold of it.)
Books:
Deadline, Mira Grant (the sequel to Feed and the second part of the i>Newflesh trilogy. Not as compellingly readable as the first book, which is a problem because it makes it a lot harder to overlook the author's flaws.( This got kinda long, and also has a spoiler for the third book that is only obvious if you've actually read the second. ) And that's without going into the problematic stuff in the story itself, like the past tense, offscreen, heretofore unmentioned queer romance wherein one woman is safely dead and the other already safely in love with a man, and stuff about India that seems logical but doesn't sit with me very well. Still, the middle part of a trilogy is the trickiest part, and I wouldn't be sitting here complaining about it if I hadn't liked it well enough to read it - more than once, even - and look forward to the final installment. Plus, hey, Dr Shannon Abbey, who is awesome enough all on her own to make Deadline worth reading.)
