Dollhouse (spoilers up to 2x11) )

I'm looking forward to seeing how Joss wraps the series up in the last two episodes. It's such a shame that this show has been cancelled. It had such potential!

The Vampire Diaries (spoilers up to 1x11) )

Supernatural (spoilers for S5) )

Being Human (spoilers up to 2x03) )

Hope everyone is well! :)

I woke up this morning to find a beautiful bunch of tulips on my profile page. Thank you so much to the lovely person who sent them. They really brightened up my day! :D

My heart goes out to everyone affected by the earthquake in Haiti.

If you're able to, you can make a donation here to help the rescue effort.

Tragedies like these certainly put our own lives into perspective, don't they?

This is so much more interesting than the comics themselves! :D

[info]sueworld2003 keeps us updated (expect spoilers for S8):

And there's more...

Love them or loathe them, the comics have definitely got people talking about the Buffyverse again!

Wow, how wonderful was that?

George, Mitchell and Annie are every bit as interesting as they were in S1.

I'm loving it so far! :)

Do you know what amuses me most about the latest spoiler from the BtVS S8 comics?

So many people (and I include myself in this) keep on saying that they 'really don't care what happens', that they're 'not interested' and that they 'don't count what happens in the comics as canon', and yet...when something happens that they really don't like (or really do like - it works both ways!)? They can't help but post about it, expressing their displeasure (or amusement *g*) at the latest development!

So it strikes me that they care about what happens so much more than they like to admit!

And that's understandable.

Spoilers for S8 )

But putting the comics to one side for a moment...

I've been thinking about fandom lately, and how other people see those of us who are involved in one. Without naming any names, I've been dabbling in a few other fandoms lately (but mainly on the outside looking in)...and I haven't really liked what I've seen. There are some seriously weird people out there! And I have to wonder - is that how other people see us? Do we come across like that to them?

*ponders*

*looks up*

*reads own post*

I guess that answers that one then! *g*

I have to say I loved it! Were there plot holes? Of course there were! But right now all I'm concentrating on is the emotional impact of it...

And it worked for me.

Goodbye Ten. I'll miss you. *sniffles*

Now on to the next era...
