TV and movies

Maybe some spoilers, even though I attempt vagueosity.

1. So in last week's episode of Leverage, just after Nate is all "let's go steal..." and we cut to a shot of DC and are zooming over the water to the Washington Monument... That's the channel where I go sailing, and all those boats moored on the right are my marina. (Then this week's episode I wasn't very into, because the team shenanigans weren't there. Though I may have enjoyed a certain scene that wasn't really between Parker and Eliot, even while being disappointed that the poor lighting will reduce its future utility for vids and manips.) Also apparently one of TPTB said in commentary that in his head, Sophie and Maggie have hooked up. These are the things you need to actually mention onscreen, dude.

2. Am into S3 of Cardcaptor Sakura and it continues to be the most adorable thing ever. May be shipping Sakura, Tomoyo, Shaoran, and Meiling in a complicated OT4, and of course Touya and Yukito are dating. May possibly say things like "I'm going to watch more episodes of my G-rated gay now" in my head.

3. However I have been distracted by watching Warehouse 13, which I'm also into S3 of now. Very enjoyable. Apparently trying to save the world and make it more pure and perfect by killing off all of humanity is something that works for me in fiction. (Helen Cutter, meet Helena "HG" Wells. You may have some things in common. Although one of you could pull the trigger and the other couldn't.)

4. But the episode where Kaylee and Simon had a pie shop was a bit of a surprise. And now there's an Olsen twin Ashmore twin. Not the only weird crossover I've seen recently, though, I've been watching random movies from Netflix without really reading all the description or cast list, which has resulted in, you know, the one where Connor Temple was a psychokiller who attacked Morgana and Alicia Baker, and the one where Donna was Charles Xavier's mother and both he and Howard Stark hit Sherlock.

5. Hit & Run was not my kind of movie. Not bad, but not my thing. Oh, MR, what I do for you.
