The River don't flow

OK, let's caveat before I start here.

Summer Glau is really good at what she does. Seriously, she does that whole slightly crazy, tilt of the head thing, combined with her sweet littleness, it's terrifying and wonderful to watch.

It really worked on last night's twin episodes of Dollhouse.

I don't love Dollhouse. I never really have. I like it, I'm relieved that it's ending next month, because it means that Joss can move on to other projects (Dr. Horrible sequel!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Anyway, last night's episodes focused on the senator who has been claiming that he has evidence to take down the dollhouse. He does, and the evidence is Madeline aka Melly aka November.

It turns out that the senator himself is a doll. Well, not exactly, he was a political dynasty playboy who Rossum "enhanced" to become the ideal advocate. The plan was to take down Adelle and the LA Dollhouse, giving their tool the political leverage to keep Rossum safe forever. After some trickery on Topher's part, the LA Dollhousers figured out the plan and tried to break it down.

This is where Summer came in. She played Bennet, the genius programmer at the DC Dollhouse. Basically, she was River Tam, her character from Firefly but a more nutso sociopathic River. Like in that episode where she stabbed Jayne, or whenever she heard the code word in Serenity.

I have to admit she did a great job, and I was scared of her. As it turned out Bennet was working with Caroline before Caroline became Echo, and she abandoned her injured, leaving her arm paralyzed. As a result, Bennet is bent on revenge. She tortures Echo to pay for Caroline's crimes.

The real joy came though when Bennet and Topher met and worked together, in a giddy sociopathic nerd love thing. They're really into each other. Meanwhile, with Adelle and Topher off in DC trying to save the dollhouse, Topher left Victor behind, imprinted as him. This was hilarious, and pure joy for me. I've always wanted more Xander....I mean, Wash...I mean Topher.

Anyway, I think Dollhouse has set up a good home stretch for itself.

And it was nice to see River again. We nerds miss her.

Well, well, well..

So I'm so so sorry that I'm so behind! I was crazy behind on what I needed to watch and I spend most of last weekend in Church. (Welcome to my life!) Anyway, here we are, with all kinds of news.

OK, first of all, Terminator has been canceled! Which makes me sad, for Summer, luckily there's Dollhouse, I think Joss would put her there immediately. Or maybe he wouldn't who knows.

But see the good news about this is that it frees Brian Austin Greene up to come on home to Beverly Hills!!!! With Silver's bipolar, I think David should come home, don't you?

Also in 90210 this Liam kid who's hooking up with Naomi is like Jess Mariano the second coming. He even has his time slot.

Also in New Moon news, they've announced an Aro...and its not Atonio. SIGH, my dream will not be, so it looks (For newer readers I was really hoping the Volturi would be played by Tom Cruise, Antonio Banderas and Brad Pitt, and Jane by Kirsten Dunst...just get a little Interview action in there. Kirsten was the real stretch since she said she doesn't want to go near another franchise with a ten foot pole. After Spiderman 3 can anyone really blame her?)

Heroes is back full strength and I'm grateful for it. Like really grateful. I still have to watch this weeks epsiode, but the past 3 have been very very good.

I'm addicted to The Number 1 Ladies' Detective agency and its on my summer reading list, which is as always hugely fluid although right now it looks like this:

1. On The Road - Jack Kerouac (I try to read at least one of those books that everyone should read every summer)
2. The Host - Stephanie Meyer
3. Watchmen - Alan Moore
4. The Sookie Stackhouse Novels - Charlaine Harris
5. Pretty in Plaid - Jen Lancaster
6. The End of The Jews - Adam Mansbach
7. Angry Black White Boy - Adam Mansbach (He came to speak at my school, he's brilliant!)
8. Queen of Babble Gets Hitched - Meg Cabot
9. Being Nikki - Meg Cabot
10. Size 12 is Not Fat - Meg Cabot (I love Meg!)

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them! Thanks a bunch!

You Can't Take The Sky From Me

It was a good night for Browncoats last night.

1. Summer Glau guest starring as herself on The Big Bang Theory...where Raj hit on her. If I were Summer Glau I would hook up with Raj. If I were me I would hook up with Raj. He's adorable! Then Howard ruined it. Summer Glau is awesome.

2. The premiere of Castle! WOW! My roommates and I literally squealed through all of it. My God is Nathan Fillion attractive. After all you know these are not the hammer...Oh right, the show. Actually it was really good. Kind of by the numbers, it reminded me a lot of Bones...in a good way, and that's kind of funny because Bones stars another Whedonite (Really, if I have to say who, then you don't deserve to be on the internet...just Google it!) Anyway, Rick Castle is a lot more complicated than you'd expect, much like Mal Reynolds and I'm really interested in seeing where they take the show. Unlike on many of these sexual tension fueled shows, both of the characters acknowledge that the tension is there. I'm interested in seeing how the show turns out. Plus you know, nothing else is on after DWTS...WHAT UP!
