Just an illusion, baby.

++ Things have been going good for me so far, a vast improvement from the last two weeks. I have a good feeling about this semester, and I am like two semesters away from graduating so, yay!

++ It appears that the vampire craze has gotten much deeper as The Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith has been picked to become a television series on the CW. Okay, now I did read the first book, "The Awakening", years ago and I remember actually liking it, and I'm sure if I picked it up again and reread it I'd find it much cheesier than I'd recall it being...but probably way better than Twilight, that's for sure. I'd give it a chance and see how they adapt it, of course I had my own vision while reading the first book and who knows what changes they'll make and how different it'll be because it was written/published in like the early nineties.

++ More with the vampire talk, um, I'm actually gonna be trying out True Blood. I've heard interesting things about it, and I've been kinda vaguely intrigued, so yeah.

++ I have theories for SPN and BSG I want to get done, but I think I should do a meta-post for Dollhouse, as prompted by seeing a lot of people's comments regarding the show in general. I'm not going to get into it right now, but I have a feeling the show may be too deep and involved for most to understand beyond face value. Then again, it's only been one episode, but still. More on that later once I get around to it.

That's my thought too, since almost everyone associates Joss Whedon with kickass action and explosions and suspense. Well, Dollhouse certainly made them pause and rethink that, which on one hand is great because thought-provoking anything is good. But on the other hand, there's the criticisms of lacking in comedic lines and the heroine saving the day, and all that stuff. This is going much deeper and more realistic, in an intriguing fashion, and creative and I'm just hoping most people will get over their initial "shock" about this not being your typical Joss show and continue watching.

Perhaps....though BSG has more to offer than just the hot guys I know, shocker right? But getting her started might help. I can never turn down the opportunity to introduce someone new to BSG! ;D
