Yay, a good one!
This episode is practically thoroughly awesome. There’s Lilah’s plot to use Angel as a pawn, and everything related to that, as a kind of episode-plot, but at the same time, there’s lots of stuff related to the season plot arcs — both the Connor one and the Cordelia one, to [...]

“No, I commute” — AS3×2 The Vision Thing
Decent enough, I guess — AS3×1 Heartthrob
So, I finally got around to starting season 3. And I’m not really impressed.
A fairly dull stand-alone, only notable for the second mention and the first meeting with Holtz, as well as the final scene where we get to see Darla again. There’s also some pieces added to the character arcs of Cordelia and Fred, [...]
Nothing Hill
(Geez, that one was lousy, even by the standards of these necks o’ the woods… )
So, I finally got around to watching “Notting Hill“, one of the most famous romantic comedies of the last decade. (Or so I presume, anyway, I’m not much of an authority on the popularity or quality of romantic comedies. [...]
Back again…
I’d almost forgotten all about how much it hurts to get a partially frozen, horisontally flying snowflake driven into one’s eye with the force of a fresh breeze. So thank you for returning and reminding me, dearest King Winter.
Anyway, I’m going away for a couple of days, so there won’t be any new posts here [...]
It’s kinda obvious that it’s made by the same people who made “West Wing”…
… because seriously, even if Josh hadn’t been there, I’d recognise the way they walk while talking very fast at each other.
Awesome first episode, though. I think I’m gonna watch another one; it’s not often that I’m hooked from the first scene…
What? What I’m talking about? Why, “Studio 60“, of course.
(Godawful title, though. Even worse [...]
Theories in IR: Reflectivism — lecture #8
“Reflectivism” isn’t an unitary perspective, but its various versions has in common that it can be seen as a kind of opposite to all of the other theoretical schools we’ve discussed this far. By this, we mean that the Reflectivist perspectives centers on ontological and epistemological questions not answered to a satisfactory degree by the [...]
Ha ha!
If you google for yayz0r, you get a hit on Loki’s Sensible Nonsense already at the first page. And what awaits on the second page? You guessed correctly: Another Loki-hit.
Mwahaha! I am contaminating his non-blog with annoying brat-speech!
Oh, and I’m changing the name of the category “Yay!” into “yayz000000r” or something moronic like [...]
The Future — A Pessimist’s View
The pessimistic vision of future world developments:
As no one saw the economic advatages to reversing the emissions of climate gasses, global warming was never prevented or diminished in strength. Because of this, the melting of the ice caps continued its slow progress, and sea levels rose. Also, the deforesting of the world continued, due to [...]
Poor Spike… — BS5×14 Crush
Ah, I love it when writers manage to divide my sympathy between two opposing characters or factions. It’s just so amazingly wonderful when all sympathy isn’t placed with one part while the other is demonised. Of course, in an ideal world, this would have been how all conflicts were described in every form of media, [...]
Wow, a Spikysode! :o — BS5×7 Fool For Love
Great episode, too. On one hand, you have a really serious and touching plotline in which Buffy seeks the answer to how past Slayers have died, a quest which ends up with her spending an evening with Spike. (And Loki: The scene where he’s picking up the money Buffy threw at him is nothing compared [...]
Erik Lensherr is a Great Man — Ultimate X-Men #19-23 “Brimstone and Hellfire”
Wow, that scene in the park really was awesome. Sure, Loki’d kida spoiled it for me, so I sorta knew what was coming, but it was nonetheless awesome for that. And later, once those annoying non-humanoid mutants had “freed” him, and he put his Magneto helmet back on… I had shivers running down my spine [...]
Wow, how come I didn’t remember this as one of the best Buffysodes ever? — BS3×10 Amends
Wow. Just wow.
This, now this is one prime example on the awesome continuity of the Buffyverse. Here, in a relatively anonymous, stand-alone episode, which still manages to be pivotal to the ‘verse, The First Evil is introduced, and Its modi operandi is established. So, we forget about It for a couple of years, maybe even [...]
Oh, and just by the by…
My new desktop background:
After having used a minimalist anarchism-slogan-and-logo as a background for close to two years, and a few weeks with the awesome black-skull-and-bones poster to Cutthroat Island”, I decided to use a nice Whedony image for a while. And seeing as I try to go for the overall black theme, while at the [...]
It would have been better with less Sandman-like art… — Ultimate X-Men #13-18 “World Tour”
Because there was a lot of really read-worthy stuff in here. There was drama, character interaction and development, a well-structured plot, interesting (and fun; one should never forget fun!) secondary and tertiary characters (wow, I think I just invented a literary phrase, although I’m convinced a) that the English language already has a word for [...]
Not even Terry Goodkind… — Ultimate X-Men #7-12 “Return to Project X”
And the goodness continues! Wraith and his crew are most likely the most amoral fictional characters I’ve ever encountered, and their dehumanistion of the mutants could rival even that of the Nazis, had they actually existed. Although, where Wraith and his gang of anonymous grunts were “evil” through and through — although in one of [...]
#20! :D
Å Rosenborg, å Rosenborg
E Trondhjems fotballag
Å Rosenborg, å Rosenborg
Tar seiern hjem i dag
Vi reise oss på store stå
Når Troillongan går på
Å ingen banke RBK
Åheiåheiåheiåhååååååååååååååååååååååååååååå!
Yay, unless Brann gets two 6-0 victories in their last two matches, and Rosenborg gets two 0-6 defeats, it looks as if I’ll be buying a new shirt next year. [...]
I feel all giddy inside — Ultimate X-Men “Tomorrow’s People” #1-6
Wow, that was one hell of an introduction. Quite a bit different from what I expected, but seeing as my expectations were largely built upon the goodnes that are the X-Men films, that was to be expected. The relationships between the characters were somewhat different, although not altogether dissimilar, as were some backgrounds and such. [...]
Egyptgate
Finally watched “Stargate” again. It’s been at least six years or so since the last time I saw it, and I was actually relieved to see how little it sucked.
All in all, it’s the classic archetype of adventure movies. Nerdy academician, stout but troubled soldier, basis in various von Däniken-like theories of the past, supernatural [...]
Wow, I actually did a clever thing o.O
And the thing? Well, for the last couple of weeks, I’ve been semi-worried over not seeing a comment here, because I rarely bother to check if there’s more than five new since the last time I was here, and I’ve disabled the annoying e-mail notifications. And now, I realized that I could use the comments [...]
Beast within — AS2×22 There’s No Place Like Plrtz Glrb
My last reaction, as Angel found Willow in the hotel lobby: They aired this back to back with the last episode of Buffy’s season 5? o.O
Now, don’t get me wrong, I loved this episode; it’s perhaps the best one of all the Pylea episodes, with at least three great character moments (Angel’s resiting the demon; [...]
