* I liked the last quarter or so of Pale Demon better.

When I think what Rumble Fish and Dandelion Wine meant to me in 8th grade... yeah.

* I tried to watch Teen Wolf, but the cats pulled out the stops on the drama at 11:05 and kept it up for half an hour or so. It struck me as slow, boring, and hard to follow, though part of that could be the cats tag teaming me to prevent me watching even one scene uninterrupted. The trailer looked so good, but mostly the bits I could catch were pretty much standard teen soap opera with a touch of werewolf stuff mixed in. I don't watch Vampire Diaries as it was the same kind of boring. I kept thinking I could be watching American Werewolf in London instead, and how much more fun that would be. I was thinking it's likely not for owls, but then the last fifteen minutes or so were good like the trailer, so it could be typical first episode unevenness or it could be cat interference. I'll watch tomorrow and see which is more likely.

Teen Wolf is available on iTunes (the premiere ep is free) if you were interested in rewatching it uninterrupted.

I'm downloading it now to see how it is.

I have no ipod, etc.. However, they reran it in a late night slot and it made a lot more sense when I could watch it all the way through. I still think the first half was slow, but I'm more positive about the whole thing, despite the cheesy thing of naming the family Silver in french. Telegraph much?

It is very very white and preppy, which is a problem for me.
