siddymouche  is coming to visit. THERE WILL BE HIJINKS PEOPLE. 

( Review under cut ) 

... So when do I get my morpher then? So I finally finished The Hunger Games after getting them over Christmas and having them sit on my shelf. Managed to get through the whole trilogy within about a week; the writing is captivating. So this is just my little... overview of it all, I guess. There be spoilers, but I'll LJ cut it, so you don't have to read further if you don't want to.

( Told you there would be a cut )

But yes, in short I liked it. Definitely one to be re-read and kept on the shelf. ... I need to get that out of my system, thanks for bearing with me. Currently sitting in the Learning Cafe at my university enjoying a nice hot cup of tea and listening to my mp3 and generally just waiting for my lecture at 12. After which I shall go for lunch. A good plan, yes? I haven't done a general update in a while, so I might just try to type one out now while I don't really have much else to do - yes, I know I've got a presentation due on Tuesday, but none of my group are in at this moment (that is, as I'm typing this) so it wouldn't be very productive to do anything on my own.
( Other stuff under cut )
So, erm, yeah, think that might be it. Going to go finish my tea now. Eloquent title, isn't it?

Well, due to the fact that the weather meant no buses which meant I couldn't get in for my exam today, I had a lot of free time. Obviously, instead of studying for my exam on Friday, I chose to spend this time rewatching episodes of Glee. During this rewatching, I came to a conclusion: I only care about Rachel's various ships.

Not to say that I don't want to see the other characters happy in whatever type of relationship suits them best - though people need to have words with Santana and Puck about their promiscuity at their age - but when it comes to Rachel, well, her relationships seem to define her. In that she changes. Her actual characterisation can change when she's in a relationship.

This is not a good thing.

So, I decided, let's look at the three main "ships"  for Rachel, and I'll explain what I like/dislike about them. And yeah, this is all just my opinion done purely because I noticed how much Rachel changes. I actually do give a damn about the other's relationships, they just don't seem as ... obviously changing the character as Rachel's do. Oh, and for this we'll be looking at the canon only pairings. As much as I like the fandom-created pairings, its in show evidence I'm looking at.

We good with that? Great, let's begin.
( Info under cut ) Yes, I've been meaning to do these for a few episodes this season, but I decided this would be the episode I begin on again. As with last season, well, due to my thoughts I'm going to avoid cross-posting to different comms on the basis that ... well I don't want constantly flamed for my views. That being said, here we go.
( Lots of review ramblings under cut )

So TL;DR: I liked the episode, I think the bullying saga is a smart move, and frankly this has been some of the best writing since the first 13. Let's see what happens next week, shall we? ( Cut because I get depressingly emo ) ... Why do I keep seeing the dad as being played by Terence Maynard? Apart from the fact that he's freakin' awesome.

For Carter, if they decided to age up, I could see him being played by Daniel Anthony, but if they actually go by book age ... I don't really know. Maybe Jaden Smith, 'cause kid's a good actor, and I could buy him in the role. Having said that, when I read the book, it's Daniel Anthony I see as Carter so who knows?

For Sadie ... I'll admit I don't actually have a mental mind image for Sadie. But I did some snooping, and I kind of like Antonia Thomas as Sadie. Again, I don't know why - and I've no idea who I'd cast as the book age Sadie, but ... yeah. I know Antonia doesn't fit the book description, but I like her as the character. I think she'd do the role justice.

Amos, of course, there was no competition. Only Noel Clarke could fit a role that cool.

Yeah... so far I've only got the Kane Family in my head. I'll come up with the others later. ... I have no idea why I chose that lyric.

( To save the flist from my emo there is a cut ) Just been rewatching the latest episode of the show, and ... well ... I'm confused.

( Spoilers so ... cut! ) So, I finished my rewatch of Mystic Force today.

( my thoughts under the cut ) I shall start by first stating: I am going on my limited knowledge of this show, as much as I ... veer on whether or not I actually like the premise behind this series, I do like the series. But yeah, my thinking. It's a simple, simple thought really.

If this series has 90% of the Earth being razed, what about the Animarium and Rootcore? One's a floating island about the Earth which has no technology on it, and the other is in a parallel dimension. In theory, shouldn't they be able to get help from there? Or the Doctor, cause Lost Galaxy showed they exist in the same universe... Unless this is the Turn Left 'verse.

(And yes, I know that at the moment RPM is considered an alternative universe to the main Power Rangers 'verse (seriously, why isn't an expanded universe for this like there is for Star Wars, Star Trek, and Doctor Who?), but Ninja Storm, Lightspeed and SPD were all considered outside the canon of the main series at one point, and eventually written in, so it's not totally impossible that could happen for RPM.

So ... yeah. Any thoughts on why the two 'not actually on this earth' places of power weren't coming to the resuce? Are we meant to believe that when the badness happened, those Rangers weren't able to get back, and reclaim their powers to let them help? ... Cause ... y'know ... pretty weak.

... Anyone got a theory on this? Sooo... Have been having thoughts about True Blood. Am just going to bullet point them. THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. Be warned
( SPOILER CUT )I do probably have more thoughts but I'm trying to wait to see how this upcoming ep is gonna go. 

( cut for space ) Okay, so I have been watching Power Rangers: Wild Force over the past few days. I have come to the following conclusions:
