Buffy - finished season three. I've complained about it starting slow, but really, since 'Lover's walk", it had an unbelievably consistent run of entertaining episodes. Great, addictive fun.
Now that I finished a season that everybody loves, I'm heading into the season that everybody feels lukewarm about (which…

I imagine CW creates cocoons for its young and beautiful teen series stars. They get steady paycheck and admiration from small but vocal fandoms. However, they are also limited by tight shooting schedules and their shows' tendency to run for several years. Not a bad situation for them, I suppose, but a frustrating one…

"True Detective girlfriend slot" (which means showing boobies) is not better than playing at least two drastically characters at once (not to say that True Detective isn't a better show than VD, but at least during its first season it didn't give its female cast much to do).

Some novels:

Drew Goddard and Stephen S. DeKnight working on Daredevil for Netflix. The thought itself makes my mouth foam.

Okay, so are there any actually good and/or entertaining narconovelas? This stuff sounds so intriguing that I feel a need to check out some of it.

I wish I had more time to write a post (I'm going for a 5-day trip in an hour), but I finally got around to watching second season of Buffy despite being spoiled for just about every important plot point.
