Well, darn...

Man, I could not feel less motivated to write my blogs today. I suck.

I will say this, I saw The Dark Knight on Tuesday and it was fantastic. I really enjoy Christopher Nolan's take on Batman. It's the right level of dark and contains a good dose of realism without losing sight of the fact that it is still a comic book story. This version goes nowhere near the level of ridiculous that we got with 90's string of Batman movies. My favorite element I think is still how they do such a good job of showing that each of Batman's gadgets is rooted in real (or possible) technology/contraptions.

Stargate Continuum also made my view list this week. I thought it was phenomenal. I think people who don't enjoy or get the Stargate universe in general probably would have thought it was silly, but I feel like fans of the show were definitely given something they could truly love. I am the first to admit I'm a sucker for stories involving alternate realities and timelines, so this was honestly built to appeal to me anyway. Despite that I really felt that it was an excellent story and a great addition to the franchise. If you enjoy Stargate in any of its flavors, go check it out, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

The new episode of Eureka was pretty fun. We got a nifty little Cylon reference that made me smile, and Dr. Parrish from Stargate Atlantis popped up--I hope we see more of his character, I think he could be a good addition to the world of Eureka, seems like he had the right kind of heart to fit in. Also, there was a good dose of Larry bashing, so I am always on board with that (though I admit was a bit freaked out for a second when I thought they'd killed him--I don't want it to go that far), especially because he totally deserved it this time. I am a bit nervous about how they are shoehorning Degree deodorant into the story as part of some new sponsorship deal. I am hearing some disturbing rumors on that front, but I guess I will just have to wait and see and cross my fingers (and possibly my toes) that it won't be as bad as it sounds.

Other than that I've spent the week being pretty much immersed in either reading the Twilight books (I just finished New Moon and am probably going to start Eclipse today) or in playing the Star Wars RPG Knights of the Old Republic. In fact, as soon as I finish this post and do one other chore, I am off to play the game...

So that's what's going on in my world. I did watch bits and pieces of the Robin Hood season finale last night. I was hanging out with my friends so we didn't have our attention completely tuned in until the big twist at the end. After seeing that I am kind of hoping it was the series finale because the heart of the show is kind of gone for me now. I recorded it so I'll probably have to watch while actually paying attention later today and see what the heezy was actually going on. I do definitely think I am going to give Primeval a try next week when it takes over Robin Hood's time slot, it looks interesting to say the least.

Well, I am off to try to level up my scoundrel some more. My husband says I get a very R2-D2 like droid to join my party soon, huzzah!

Take care all,
