BSG seems like the most modest and most personal of his novels. I enjoyed it a lot, but it's probably still my second-least favorite of his. I didn't care as much for number9dream. Ghostwritten is solidly in the middle. Thousand Autumns and Cloud Atlas go back and forth for my favorite; it usually lands on the former.

What was it about the movie you didn't care for?

I already abandoned Five Came Back once to read The Magician's Land. I like it too much to leave it unfinished again, but I also want to start The Bone Clocks today. And get to The Secret Place as quickly as possible, but I don't want to rush through any reading experience. Aaaahhh!

I really felt like there was a deleted Lydia scene missing from the episode.

My love for you is like a truck, Berserker
Would you like some making fuck, Berserker

I really liked her "You can save people's lives, but you can't save people from life" line. Maybe even more than "Be your own anchor."

The blood on the money thing was definitely too on the nose. But on the other hand, on the nose is probably the best way to make a point to Scott.

I mean, he was mentored for awhile by Derek Hale, world's worst fighting werewolf. Derek's a better fighter as a human than he ever was as a werewolf.

And then VicTopher was just the icing on the cake.

Please let this be a great role for Enver Gjokaj. Please please please. He deserves it.

Tropic Thunder arguably got away with it because a) there was a black character onscreen who actively and regularly called RDJ's character out on his bullshit and b) RDJ's white-ass character himself was the butt of the jokes on the topic, not the African American he was pretending to be. Also, given how Tropic…

Fun fact: at pub trivia a few weeks ago, one of the questions was to identify this song and its artist from the first ten seconds or so of the song. Though I kept insisting it was "Deep Blue Something," my teammates refused to write it down. For awhile I thought it was because they didn't believe me, but really they…

"I know my rights I've been here all day and it's time
for me to go so let me know if it's alright"
from Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine always bugged me, even if it makes perfect sense as a sentence (unlike a lot of Killers lyrics). The narrator just killed a woman, he's raging against the police and then … asks if it's…

A lot of their music (on their first album at least) had some vaguely bisexual undertones. I don't think the line is meant to be transphobic; I think it's just meant to play around with gender.

I vaguely remember an interview with Davis that implied that the mountain ash managing the whole circle had more to do with the properties of mountain ash than the properties of Stiles, but if you asked me to find that interview I wouldn't know where to look, so it's not really a reliable source, sorry.

I didn't think anything would ever bring me to AHS, but the promise of Bomer Man Ass is just too strong to resist…

Weird! I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Seriously, I thought they were building up to the room having some kind of magic cleansing powers that would lead to … I don't know, exactly, but it makes more sense than non-wine wine evaporating and hiding keys.

"Ridiculous Cognitive Leaps" could be this show's subtitle, let's be real.

I know he's not the most popular character around, but I actually like Liam quite a bit. His biggest problem in life was getting expelled from school over some anger issues. Then, he was attacked by a cannibal, bitten (and then kidnapped) by his team captain, turned into a werewolf and forced to trust the very person…
