You know, some episodes, I can
really tell that Ron Moore was involved. Like the last two I've watched, which are Babylon and Pick a Number.
( Spoilers for Babylon and Pick a Number )Given Ron Moore's involvment, and my problems with women in BSG (especially after the first two seasons), I think I'm glad that Carnivale ended after only two seasons. I'm not sure, though, because there are some damn good actors on that series, and I'm enjoying the rest of the plot. Hopefully this was just a detour from the awesome.
Please don't spoil me on anything past the first six episodes. I'm trying to watch the series unspoiled.
In other news, the Claymore DVDs I've been getting off Netflix have been consistently awesome. I love Claire like nobody's business. Raki annoys me, but that type of character (who doesn't listen to the expert) always bothers me. I'm halfway through the discs.
Other things I've watched from Netflix: The modern remake of The Initiation of Sarah was surprisingly enjoyable, if not great. It had Summer Glau and Jennifer Tilly, and was, therefore, pretty awesome for that alone. The Lost Boys: The Tribe was
awful. I mean, seriously. It was horrible. The Thirst, which has the Whedon cast of doom, was enjoyable, if not the best vampire movie ever. Partly it was enjoyable just because of the Whedon cast of doom, mind you. Also, I'm partly through series one of Coupling UK. My God, these people are all crazy. Thankfully, it keeps me amused.
ETA: The comments of the LJ version of this post, while spoilery for Carnivale (if you care), have also turned into a recs list for media with awesome women. If you're into that sort of thing.
