Newsishes

I really should have said something all the way back when I first heard about it, because then it might have been news to someone who read this and cared about it too, but it seems Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman is being made into a miniseries. That's potentially good news to me, since I liked Good Omens a lot when I read it in high school, borrowing it from the library to read over again.

Random report

Looked in on ABC3 a few nights ago, which I had not done in many months. They had some show on called Vampire Knight, and from the description I was thinking it would be similar to The Worst Witch so I decided to try watching an episode. Surprised to find it is actually a dubbed anime series as I hadn't thought that to be the sort of thing they air.

Real is not enough

Some weeks ago the British series Misfits started airing here. It seems to be another in a line of attempts to show 'how superheroes would be in the real world', like the series No Heroics. The characters in this one are certainly convincing enough; I've been meeting people like them all my life. But, I don't like them and in the two episodes I watched there wasn't either any plot or drama that made me want to keep watching in spite of the characters.

Vroomp, vroomp?

Got to watch The 11th Hour a couple of days ago, the first episode in Matt Smith's stint as the Doctor and of Steven Moffat's period running the show.

Very willing to like this Doctor as I was dissatisfied with how the series was going prior to the changeover. Don't know if I'm seeing things I like or if so far we've got enough of a blank canvas that I'm merely projecting what I want to see.
