Bunch of things

LJ: I am really pleased with the speed LJ is working. EVERYTHING IS FLYING. I can't stop commenting and writing because finally LJ IS WORKING FAST FOR ME. I might take all my annoyed ranting back and wait for LJ to fix the issues with default comment title and other things because my main problem with it (speed and reliability) is fixed. EEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I still can't believe it and almost want to pinch myself: "Is this real? LJ is working so fast! And I haven't had an error in the last 48 hours, not even one!"

I did log a support request re: default comment title and spellchecker, though. I saw a LJ news post saying these things will be fixed. We will see.

Sherlock: A Scandal in Belgravia: I loved the episode until the ending happened. Irene was supposed to outsmart Holmes (in the original book series this is what happens) and I was not pleased that she did not. I am still not pleased.

Walking Dead: I have finished all available episodes of the season 2 and I am having a terrible imaginary crush on Daryl. He is like a version of Sandor Clegane with a crossbow. My open plea to the creators of the show: "Dear creators of Walking Dead! Please do not kill off Daryl anytime soon".

Anime: I am watching tons of anime at the moment. I would appreciate any recommendations!
My anime favourites, just few of them:

Monster (I haven't expected so much depth in anime)
Shiki (so scary it is good)
Ergo proxy (mind-bending and gorgeous)
Hellsing (really REALLY loved it)
Blood+
Trinity Blood (my favourite anime song)
Trigun and Cowboy beebob - great old-school anime.

Suits: I have finished 12 episodes of "Suits" in one day. I am still off on holidays. I enjoyed watching, but I didn't feel any depth to be honest and the love triangle part (and the way the character of Rachel was developed in the show) didn't feel right for me at all ..

Warehouse 13 is still lovely. Now they even have a DOG (I love dogs).

Ojakgyo Brothers: I have also watched 38 episodes of "Ojakgyo Brothers" in two days and I am crushing so much on Joo Won it hurts. Also - Uee is such a surprise, I really like her character.

I should stop commenting and posting excessively and do something else. :D

er, I was talking about the interview Gatiss released a while back that was somewhat disappointing. As for Moffat, yes, I read the usual things on him when he started having a more active role on Doctor Who, which, incidentally, I find lovely these days, but never in regard of Sherlock. As for RTD, oh man, the bitterness comes from the way he handled CoE and the wreck that was Miracle Day (and imho he did CoE the way he did cos he was already planning to go to the US and do MD). Also? Some of his comments were...how shall I put this without sounding an ass myself? Oh wait.

I wish we had seen that storyline. It's the one I was secretly hoping it'd happen.

Oh, what gig Gatiss say? Sorry, I forgotten to ask.

Doctor Who is never going to become a show I am going to take seriously (but I quite enjoy it at the moment), and when I see big write-ups about "role of females in doctor Who" I usually feel as if I am missing something.. And I am totally not equipped to compare because I mostly really REALLY disliked the Doctor number Ten, so everything else was lost on me..

Ah, you beat me to it! I was editing the comment and you already replied.

Ah well, it wasn't important.

I loved it, but...yeah, I can see where you're coming from

Thank you for the link you sent!

Thank you so much for the link you sent me! All I can do is laugh: girls of certain age. hahahahahahahaha! I am particular surprised because this particular BBC version of Sherlock is probably the one that implies that Holmes and Watson "are gay for each other" more than any other version , more than Guy Ritchie's version for sure. Guy Ritchie's Holmes and Sherlock are a classical example of "bromance" IMHO where BBC's Sherlock? So "gay for" Watson. Hahahaha! I am a "girl of certain age"!

You're welcome. I know, right?

The "girls of a certain age" rubbed me the wrong way, tbh. It's just like... what she said. LOL

Yes, the girls of certain age was the worst part. And the whole generalizing as to why a female might like a m/m paring always feels so .. wrong for me (I mean the whole "girls just like to see to boys together because they are jealous of other girls")
