I’m embarrassed to confess that the reason that I even learned about BBC 3’s The Fades was in a small review in Star Magazine that likened it to “Buffy the Vampire Slayer with an English accent.” Regardless of the source, that capper line made it impossible for me not to watch it.

When did all these big bads stop having weaknesses? My husband had the misfortune to be home while the show was on this week. His pointing out that all these vampires walking out in the sun drew my attention to all the other issues (non-issues?) that these creatures no longer have.

This episode had so many flashes of fun – and fire – that was ruined by the end with Jake showing up. The only redemption for me was that he didn’t talk. But it also means he’s not staying away, and we’ll have to deal with his brand of bad-acting brood for the rest of the season.

I couldn’t help but make the following connection…loudly…while pointing at the TV machine: “HE’S A BABY Q! I DON’T KNOW WHY HIS EYES ARE SILVER, BUT HE’S A BABY Q!”

I like this Sarah! This Sarah murders jerks and steals babies!! That’s what I’d do if I was a spy. Well I’d rather murder babies and steal jerky.

I have no interest whatsoever in Robert Carlyle unless he’s being sinister. The concerned dad from The Full Monty? Not interested. Rumpy with the power of the Dark One and nasty teeth? HOT.

Dean’s got a Drinking Problem. Never mind that he never evidences any “issues” or “consequences” from all the liquor he drains away; maybe he’s got a hollow leg, I don’t know. But I’ve never seen a fresher- faced, more alert and with-it, even keeled drunk in my life.

This show has confused itself so much that it can no longer keep track of it’s own mythology. Also, anything that might make sense should be ignored or sent away because keeping it around would just be silly.

We’re back in the Circle for the new year and most things haven’t changed. Everyone is as dramatic and adolescent as ever, including (especially?) the adults.

Watching this ep as a cranky school marm is way different than watching as a teenager. Also, Captain Kirk gets shirtless and Uhura freestyles a song about Spock!

Turns out I’ve got a lot of pent up malevolence that was released while playing A Game of Thrones. I need something like that on a regular basis as it’s not appropriate to engage in evil queen sorts of activities at my job.

Rebecca Romijn wears a strapy tank top and threatens torture, but doesn’t actually torture anyone. She releases the internetz virus and then, nothing happens. SHE’S JUST A PIECE OF THE PUZZLE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

I appreciate the clever title of the season finale, “AfterBirth”, following last week’s “Birth” but also feeling like the remnants of something beautiful and frightening at the same time.

I appreciated that the female crew members not only got to wear pants, but also weren’t relegated to the skintight jumpsuits that passed as pants for shapely women in later years (I’m looking at you, T’Pol and Seven of Nine).

I predict that by next week’s season finale Ben will have completely lost it so he replaces Vivien’s occupancy in the loony bin, or he will join the other “living” dead in the Murder House. Either way, he’s not making it out functionally alive at the end.

You know what I’m really looking forward to with the series finale of Chuck? That I’ll be able to listen to that Cake song without having to change the lyrics. Right now I sing about how Chuck is a crappy spy. It’s not my A material but I think it’s funny.
