That whiskey saved Superman!
Feb. 6th, 2009 12:11 pmLast night's Skins: I'm not saying it was my favourite episode ever, or even of the new series so far, but it was nonetheless brilliant. Without once becoming A Very Special Episode, or the sort of didactic slop a US teen show would usually give us, we get something which I'd wager will make at least a few kids up and down the country think twice before they parrot their Mail-reading parents' line on immigrants. And while the scum might object to Skins because it's all sex and drugs and electro-indie, how many of them realise that it's not only undermining their anti-fun stance, but also their intolerance? Heroic.
In other scandalous but socially conscious TV news, by finishing the third season of Oz I've caught up to where I started. No more left for me to watch - well, except the musical episode, for which C4's scheduling went from merely wasteful to actively hiding an episode in a slot previously announced for something else, but I'm not sure I want to watch through all the intervening bits again just yet.
"Londoners escape heavy snowfall", apparently. Yeah, so rather than a winter wonderland outside my window, it's the sort of formless and apparently infinite muddy grey which makes me wonder whether it's even worth leaving the house today. What an escape!
As if recent reactivation of my old Warhammer 40K habit weren't bad enough, last night I learned how to play Heroclix. I know that geek is cool these days, but I still can't help but worry whether I'm going too far. Speaking of cool geeks: Scott Pilgrim! The new instalment is strangely downbeat in places, but also a thing of wonder. I only bought it on a whim because it was a slow comics week, and yet I still got the limited edition bookplate. This is because I am wonderful.
