* I'm down to the smaller bits and bobs on the Gothmas decorating: the small, anal retentive stuff. Today I dragged myself out to pick up the big Gothmas gift package from the PO downtown, hit the library on the way through, talked the honest mechanic into jiggling the wires to get the car windows closed in advance of what I expect to be rain for free, spent too much money on seasonal stuff like apple cider, and things I actually needed like garlic and jam, worked on decorations a bit, followed by correspondence. I have hopes of posting a Black Sails this weekend, but no promises.
Oh, and we had to bathe poor Hector again. The no longer grooms most of his body combined with the poor eye sight, arthritis clumsy, etc. means he needs spot cleaning after various hygiene mistakes. Bad enough we washed his tail, but we soaked and scrubbed his fore paws and lower legs (Wet beans!), and worst of all had to wash one whole side of his head and ruff. Worst. humans. Ever. And now I keep trying to comb him, which he also hates, but needs.
* I am really uncomfortable with what Z Nation is doing with Cassandra, racist trope wise. As of the first episode this season and continueing, I don't care if Murphy is the cure, I want him to die. Those bounty hunters that wanted to cripple his legs? They weren't wrong. Murphy's endless bullshit keeps killing people. If they must keep him, they pretty clearly ought to muzzle him and chain him to someone.

* I don't think I've mentioned, but I've bailed out of Gotham. That show withered and died faster than original Heroes. I really did love what they were doing with Bruce Wayne, and I say that as someone bored to tears with batman generally. That scene with him and Gordon in the season two premiere? that was a child I could recognize and would have identified with at that age. Making the Penguin actually terrifying? I never expected that. I loved the focus on the Gotham PD and the mob stuff. I loved the Season one Riddler being done as a guy with Narcissistic personality disorder. So what was the deal breaker? It was when they switched Riddler from Narcassisticv Personality disorder to Dissociative Disorder. People with that have enough crap to deal with without yet another inaccurate negative stereotype in the media. they had so many interesting options if they'd stuck with what they were doing. Instead they threw out interesting for the most trite thing they could do. If they had to go there even though i wish they wouldn't, they should have used Harvey Dent and left Riddler the Riddler. so that's a deal breaker for me and I'm out.
* Two hours of Heroes Reborn Premiere was too many hours of Heroes reborn at once, but I'm sticking with it for now, despite them killing off two named Men of Colour right off the bat. Warily.
* I read Fair's Point and loved it. Point of Dreams is still my favorite in the series, but this is a close second. I love the world design and I love the characters.
