DW: Amy's Choice
May. 16th, 2010 01:34 pmJesus Christ, can we please stop with the Elizabeth I references? Nothing kills my buzz faster than being invisibilised for the sake of a stupid running joke. That misery and humiliation also puts the episode firmly on my 'never watch again' pile, which is a shame because ( spoilers )
But seriously, Moffat. Asexuality is a real thing and there's only one asexual superhero in the entire corpus of Western media (not to mention only four ace characters!). Do me a favour: stop ripping my heart out.

On the subject of ace characters, The Big Bang Theory makes me so very, very happy. Thank you, Chuck Lorre. You are Doing It Right.

Mar. 3rd, 2010 12:30 amYou know you're a geek when you start laughing at the opening gag of a Big Bang Theory episode before it occurs, because you recognise the object that's about to catalyse it.
Really nice use of it, though - especially giving it to the character with selective mutism.
Also, STAN LEE!
And you've gotta love Sheldon's collector's logic. "Then I will have a unique, albeit confusing, artefact." <3
Still haven't watched the Being Human finale... and Glee is oddly addictive.
Meanwhile, Charles and Dora are actually developing backstory and sideplots OMG, and if Ellie would only tell me what it is that she's tying herself to railings over then that would be insanely helpful for worldbuilding. Ever since she was transplanted into a gender-equal world, my poor ex-suffragette has been a rebel without a cause.
