Moments when a piece of entertainment completely rocked you.

Yeah, in my understanding, it should dampen sound, stop all attacks cold, and when bullets hit it, they shouldn't just bounce off, they should hit, stop all forward motion, and fall straight down under the force of gravity.

There is no coherent physical model of the shield at all, especially not in the movies. The comics have had more and less coherent models, depending on how much the team on the book paid attention. But the movie shield is simply magic.

Yeah, I know. It just bugs me.

GameChurch is a site which reviews games from a Christian perspective.
They examined Cards Against Humanity.
It was a surprisingly good article.

Last night we saw Frozen for the first time (I know, we're late to the party). My 3.5 year old boy didn't really pay any attention during the movie but my 5 year old boy ate it up.

Best was afterward when we reminded the 5 year old that it was 10pm (which is time for bed on non-school nights). He started belting out "Let it go. Let it gooooo." as he proceeded to strip down to underwear in the middle of his grandparent's living room.

I imagine we're going to have to buy the movie since our eldest really, really likes it.

So - a trend I noticed (and like a lot) in the Agents of SHIELD and Arrow finale.

No fucking cliffhangers. Sure, the endings are open-ended and do hint at the upcoming seasons, but that's it.

I hope it's a trend, at least. I'm really fucking tired of the "Will the protagonist of our (already renewed) show survive this inescapable deathtrap?" endings, followed with a 10-minute wrapup six months later.

I'm a bit tired of "will the protagonist of our already canceled series survive this inescapable deathtrap," personally.

It is a trend. The Good Wife killed off a major character this season, and the creators of the show were talking about how stunting the cliffhanger philosophy was. You pull a cliffhanger in order to keep people watching, but then the rest of the show sucks, and there's never a good wrap up of the event that hung on the cliff - it happens off camera. So the show erred on the side of awesome and put the Big Event™ mid-season.

I love it.

OK. I have to admit... I'm kinda bummed that Star Crossed gained no traction and ended up canceled. I really liked the show.

Skin Game was epic.

It seems like the Dresden books are going to ramp it up as we get closer to the end.*

*Jim Butcher has said that there'll be 20 bucks, and then a trilogy to cap it off. And Nicodemus will appear every five books. Skin Game was #15.

Skin Game is fantastic! Although (rot13 encoding to avoid spoilers)Fubhyqa'g gur fznfuvat bs gur fgnghrf bs inevbhf ubyl svtherf, engure guna gur oheavat bs gur tnezragf, frg bss gur "fgnfu vf va qnatre" nynez?

So many of the things Butcher has been setting up for years paid off in this book... and there are clearly more things being set up in it. I was most excited by... shall we say, an event that happens towards the end?... that I actually called years ago. I'm so pleased.

I started watching Continuum, and I'm really enjoying it. It's surprisingly good.
