Yep, it was pretty badass. Few nice reveals and story conclusions, while still leaving some open in case second season becomes reality. I hope it does, because Enver Gjokaj is awesome. That’s the guy who plays Victor, and is easily the best doll in and out of the house. And Alan Tudyk was pretty awesome as Alpha. The whole thing is just generally awesome.

Well, except for the cheese cake filled 2 line exchance about black president. That was just terrible.

Yeah, I’m testing it. Seems like a neat app, if you are too lazy to open your browser and post your blog from there. I mean, yeah. That’s all it seems to do. Considering that WordPress at least has pretty good interface to begin with, this seems kind of useless. I was initially under the impression that this could be used to cross-post, and while it’s sort of possible, not all blogs have same kind of setting for tags and categories and stuff, so it’s not so handy after all. And, of course, not everything is supported. I mean, every god damn site these has their own blog service thing, like last.fm, X-Fire or My Opera or whatever else. How could anyone keep up with them. So cross-posting kind of possible, but not as useful as I had initially hoped for.

There is one thing that people could use this for I guess. Writing offline drafts in this interface might be useful? Maybe. But then again, you could just use notepad or something. So I don’t know, this just might not be that useful at all. And it seems that at least by default it insist on adding some extra html in here in form of paragraphs. No, just no. I want the text field to be pure text, not some silly html codes. And something in this writing interface annoys me, but I can’t put my finger on it.

In other news, Dollhouse hasn’t been canned yet. Which is a good thing. But it hasn’t really gotten a lot of viewers at all, so who knows how long it will last. Joss Whedon doesn’t seem to catch a break on tv anymore. I’m also watching Castle with Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic. And that show seems to be doing quite well, and is also good. So watch that too. Go, watch it.

Also, if you haven’t seen, Final Fantasy 13 demo is out in Japan and there has been a lot of videos floating around. My impressions basing on the videos I’ve seen… Soundtrack will kick ass, not so sure about the rest. After the awesomeness that is Final Fantasy 12, it seems that the battle system is a step backwards with pretty much everything. Graphics seem nice, but that can’t really be the thing that will get you to play games these days, even the worse games these look pretty awesome, so yeah. I guess we’ll just have to see how it pans out. But yes, Masashi Hamauzu on the soundtrack makes a good backing at least.

And that’s that I guess. Now I’m submitting this from Windows Live Write, I’m probably going to have edit it later or something.

Update: Yeah, I’m editing this post right now, removing all the paragraph html that was added in the text field. Other than that, it seems like the integration with WordPress is good, adding new as well as using existing tags and categories worked well on Write, and it seems that they have been properly added to the server side as well.

I do.

Joss Whedon is back and judging from the first episode…
Just kidding, it’s too early to judge.
But watch it, because no one wants another Joss Whedon/Tim Minear (Minear is producing or something) show canceled after few episodes because of poor ratings.

Bunch of familiar faces in it, Eliza Dushku and Amy Acker from some other obscure Whedon shows and Tahmoh Penikett from Battlestar Galactica. I would also tell you the names of all those unfamiliar faces, but I’m too lazy to look them up. Deal with it.

And besides, Eliza Dushku is hot. That’s more than enough of a reason to tune in at least.

So I upgraded to WP 2.6, and all is well in the world.

I also saw all 3 acts of Doctor Horrible during last week, and it was brilliant.

I finished watching the 13 episodes of Wonderfalls yesterday. It was a fun series, too bad that it was on FOX. FOX is the donkey balls. When will Tim Minear have the sense to stop trying to produce tv for FOX?

I have also further confirmed my fondness of small women. Caroline Dhavernas, who plays the lead character in Wonderfalls, is pretty short. She joins the company of Kristen Bell (even shorter) and probably others that I can’t think right now.

What a shocking revelation.
