I bought the first volume of the Norwegian “Walt Disney’s Hall of Fame” today, a book that collects some of Don Rosa’s first and best Scrooge McDuck comics. I haven’t started on the comics themselves yet, as it had some snacks in the beginning that I have to read. One of these tasty little morsels [...]

What makes Angel evil? What is ignorance? That’s right. Bliss.
I passed! I passed! Oh glorious day, I passed!
Sure, I got an E, but I passed social scientific method! I’ll never have to bother with the crap again! NEVER!
Garden State
I watched my favourite romantic comedy last Thursday: Zach Braff’s “Garden State”. (Eh, this one was written about one month ago; I must have forgotten to submit it…)
It really is a magnificent little movie, which Braff not only wrote and directed, but also starred in. He played the main character, Andrew Largeman, a young man [...]
A “Tigana” related “whoa!”
Perhaps it is because I am mentally exhausted after two very long, very straining tours earlier today, but I just had a whole new experience:
I’ve never before — never ever — been touched to tears by exposition just 116 pages into a book. Never. Not until Baerd told Devin of the fate of Tigana and [...]
Seeing Red: A Case in the Study of Joss Whedon, Sadistic Genious
This has got to be one of the best worst minutes of television I have ever seen. Observe, if you will, these four moments:
1. Bliss, as Buffy and Xander make up and embrace.
2. Dread, as Warren appears, toting a gun.
3. Grief, and/or anguish, as a stray bullet from Warren’s gun penetrates Tara’s chest, and her [...]
The Lords of Television Be Praised!
“Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip” — the show with TV’s third cheesiest title, after “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “The Bold and the Beautiful” — will return to American screens with episode 17 on Thursday, May 24, 2007!
And there was much rejoycing!
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Long Way Home, part III
Whoa.
And when I was done, Queen’s “You Take My Breath Away” was next in line in my WMP playlist. How’s that for a coincidence?
Half-way evil Willow.
A Angel-Buffy(in-nurse-costume)-Spike dream landscape with barbed wire.
Fi fa fucking fum.
“Ladies and other ladies… the indescribable Rosenberg.” - Xander.
“Well, this is really unimpressive. One attack by the undead and Renee has [...]
Babylon 5, season 2
Season two of “Babylon 5” opened with something of an outrage, as they replaced one of the main characters. At first this annoyed me, even though I didn’t think I liked the replaced character much, and the replacement seemed even duller than the original one. However, as time progressed, I realised that both replaced and [...]
“The thing about changing the world…”
“… once you do it, the world’s all different.
Everyone calls me ‘ma’am’ now.”
Oh man. The first issue of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 8″ has just left me in a state of chronic grinning, and fucking sea gulls are fluttering about in my stomach.
Sure, it was a little short (but that’s the way it is, [...]
It’s The End Of The World As We Know It — AS5×22 Not Fade Away
That’s it. The end. And what an end it was.
By the time Angel said, “Well, personally, I’ve always wanted to slay a dragon,” I was sobbing — half laughing with joy, half crying from grief. Where the ending of “Chosen” just left me with a general feeling of relief and joy, where the only things [...]
The Grumpiest Little Puppet In The Whole Wide World — AS5×14 Smile Time
Where to begin?
I think, that I might actually beging with the best part of the episode, which is spite of the hilarity of the Angel plot is the very last scene, and the preceeding scenes which lead up to this one. Because this, this is where what I have been waiting for since the end [...]
… And The Infinite Sadness — AS5×12 You’re Welcome
This is almost too much. Every single one of the four Angelsodes (doesn’t sound as good as “Buffysodes”, does it? ) I’ve watched tonight, have been fucking masterpieces. They’ve been thrilling, they’ve been emotional, they’ve been funny — everything the best of Whedonverse episodes always are.
This one falls into that wonderful category by merit, of [...]
I Need To Have My Head Checked — AS5×11 Damage
Oh man, oh man, oh man! this was some awesome stuff!
Yet another episode I remembered as mediocre at best, but proved to be indescribably beautiful in all its uncomfortable glory. First of the great parts was the Spike theme. How he initially in the episode said to Angel that he didn’t see the [...]
Whenever I feel down…
I take a look at this one. And this one. And suddenly things seem a little brighter.
(And I am well aware that I’ve linked to these stripes almost ten times before, but they really are that… man, I got to get around to reading some Jack Vance soon, so that I can learn some new [...]
Awesome music videos
Radiohead - Paranoid Android — I don’t love the video as much as I used to, but man, this is still a fucking mind-blowing song. Undeniably my favourite of all time.
Queen - I’m Going Slightly Mad — not only is the song weird in a good way, but the video is, in addtion to being [...]
Oh, and…
… the “Firefly” DVD I had to order because of Loki (okay, so here’s my contribution for the “Worst Excuse of 2007 Award” ) arrived yesterday!
Which means that as soon as I’ve force-fed my sister the last couple of episodes of VM (this show really stands to be watched a second time, I’ve [...]
Okay, I realise now that I might have been kinda exaggerating about the relative greatness of VM2×22 — BS7×22 Chosen
Sigh. In my last post, I claimed that VM2×22 could rival BS5×22 and stuff like that in level of awesomity. Obviously, I forgot just how much I love BS7×22.
Because this episode is filled with all that good stuff I adore. There’s that scene in the high school hallway when the Scoobies talk about what they [...]
VM2×22
That has got to be the most traumatic season finale I’ve ever seen. This one is a dangerous rival to BS5 and AS5, and I doubt I’ll get much sleep in the three hours remaining before I have class.
Damn, I gotta start downloading season 3 soon.
Terje loves Veronica
Yesterday afternoon, I suddenly felt the urge to watch some kind of TV show while eating dinner. I considered both “Carnivale”, “BSG” and “Angel”, but discarded them all. The two former (and especially BSG) are have too much background noise for me to pay proper attention to the dialogue while eating, and the latter… well, [...]
Summary of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, season 1
It’s only been one week since I received the Angel and Buffy DVD sets from Amazon, and I’ve already watched the first season of Buffy, so yay me! Or, to be more specific, yay my sister, because if it hadn’t been for her, it’d probably be a while before I started watching the series again.
Anyway, [...]
