and the devil makes three  
I mean to post about my ~deep and fascinating thoughts about comic paneling~ but then it just seems like too much work.

Meanwhile TV has become interesting again!



MY FAVOURITE SHOW ABOUT EVIL PEOPLE BEING EVIL IS BACK!!! :DDDD

I watched the first episode and all I can say omg omg omg I did not see that coming. And the last shot was priceless. Is anybody else watching this?

I also gave True Detective a try only because the opening credits are some of the best I've seen in some time. Despite it being a show about Masculinity Issues and a sex worker murdering serial killer I'm developing massive woobie feels about Matthew McConaughey omg self whyyyy crey tumblr you are the only one who understands me liking it! It's just really well-made. What I gather from the 2012!plot is that the cops must be suspecting one of our two protagonists of being a copycat, probably Rust more than Marty? I'm curious about how that's going to develop. Also they've thrown some hints of cosmic horror weirdness that I would really appreciate getting explored more in the future because that's my jam.
And the Louisiana scapes are amazing! I seem to need my Southern Gothic/Americana fix one way or another since SPN's sad demise in that respect. Come to me, pretty fanmixes.

Not watching this because this is a remake of a British programme from a few years back which was tricking awesome - so though I love Kevin Spacey and reckon he'd make a fabulous Urqhuart (dunno what they are calling his character in the US version), I thought the Brit one was so good I don't want to spoil it...

Yeah, I'm aware but I don't really mind remakes and I really like that the contempoary setting allows for more roles for women because I can only watch so many dudely dude shows at once (which True Detective is, lol). He's Underwood in the US version!

I wanna catch True Detectives but we don't pay for extra channels. :/ Guess I'll wait for it to come out one DVD.

SOUTHERN GOTHIC. \o/!

I would be very interested in reading your thoughts on comics paneling. Just FYI.

I am holding out the first new episode of House of Cards in front of myself as a reward for finishing some errands today. I can't wait to watch it!
