We finally saw the first Hunger Games movie, and liked it enough that I may have to check out the books at some point.

'Justified' is back! Wheee!

Watched the first ep of 'Killer Women' and really enjoyed it. Added bonus: The Mavericks opening and closing the episode with their music.

We're going to go see 'Saving Mr. Banks' tomorrow.

I feel like writing, but not sure what. There's always my Queen of Swords sequel that I've been working on intermittently. One day, I will finish it! Or the sequel to 'White As Snow, Red As Blood', which is set during 'The Avengers'. Or the Agents of SHIELD/Isla De Muerta/Prate Treasure one I've been pondering. Or going back to the Old West portion of my series and write the one with James Norrington. No idea.

Ladies Assemble this year is going to be at Disneyland instead of Vegas for the fifth annual. This all started accidentally with Captain America, so for the second one, we're mixing it up.

Watched 'Almost Human' finally. We had 5 eps on the DVR. We really like it, and will keep watching.

How fandom is changing. Who'd think you'd see a tweet from Orlando Jones about Yuletide and the number of Sleepy Hollow stories and that he's going to read them all!?!? Speaking of which, I've never participated in Yuletide, but I thought it was for small fandoms?
Wouldn't think Sleepy Hollow would be a small fandom.

Been recording Dracula, but have yet to watch. Not sure we ever will at this rate!

What did you think of the first Justified ep of the season? I was glad to have it back, but had a couple reservations. I think Elmore Leonard's passing was evident in the script.

For a violent show, it seemed very extra bloody. Mostly the episode seemed there just to set up the season.

Sleepy Hollow got in because it had (and in fact still has) less than 500 complete stories 1000 words or more, in English. (Not sure what the FFNet numbers are, but I expect they are within parameters too.) I am pretty sure it won't be eligible next year.

That was my thought exactly. The body count (one for every five minutes of the show, by the Spouse's reckoning) seemed excessive. I'm good with the set-up, and heaven knows I don't mind the violence when it's in the service of the show. But I hope that's not the direction of the season as a whole.
