I'm getting sick of TV.com

So, you remember me talking about getting a reprimand for posting a review of the show Reaper on TV.com? My review was deleted because I based it on an episode that hasn't been aired on TV yet. Strange... All the other reviews that are based on "the promotional version of the pilot" are still there, only mine was deleted. I'm hard pressed not to take it personally.

And obviously, some group of people is now targeting one of my favorite shows - Psych. In the past, I noticed that someone was drastically lowering the ratings of various shows on TV.com - Army Wives to name one (in a matter of a days, it went from 8.00 to 6.00 per episode). Now the same thing is happening to Psych. Written reviews are good to excellent, but the ratings are still around 7.00 only. Psych is NOT everybody's cup of tea but if they don't like it, they shouldn't watch it nor give it a bad rep. I'm not trolling the forums of Lost or Prison Break either, even though I don't like these shows.

This reminds me of one of the reviewers on Amazon who gave Supernatural one star less because it was a horror show... Err, right. I know that I mentioned this already but I think I still don't get it. Why would anyone watch a horror show and then give it a worse rating BECAUSE it's a horror show? *scratches head* And I don't believe that they didn't know that it was a horror series. Come on! It's called SUPERNATURAL for pete's sake!

And they canceled Painkiller Jane *sigh* It was a good show. I was watching it because the idea was good, Rob Stewart played one of the main characters and it had some strong femslash subtext. So yeah, good bye, Jane. Rest in peace.

Of this and that

Last night, I spent my time organizing - or trying to organize - my del.ico.us bookmarks. What a mess! And I have so many of them. I wonder if there is a limit for the amount of tags you may have. I know that Yahoo!Bookmarks' limit is 800. Del.ico.us? Who knows. But obviously, I'm determined to find out XP

And I ordered the manga "White Guardian". I mean, it's Duo Brand after all! But they still didn't publish the sequel - "Crimson Wind" - even though it should have come out in May :(

So, I have Ayano Yamane's "Crimson Spell 1" sitting next to my computer desk, Supernatural's "Nevermore" and Rob Knight's gay sleuth "Touching Evil" on their way to me and I'm reading "Moonshine" by Rob Thurman. All excellent stuff! Now to just find the time to actually read all that *sigh*

Ficlet: Little Bugger - Heroes

Title: Little Bugger
Fandom: Heroes
Disclaimers: All standard disclaimers apply here.
Notes: You may find this a little OOC but then, Nathan couldn't have been all dark and broody his whole life, right?



Nathan can't honestly say that he loved his little brother from the moment Peter was born. The new addition to the family was a tiny bundle with a scrunched red face and snotty nose, though Nathan has to admit that he admired the little lad's lung capacity... as long as the tot was on the other side of the residence when screeching his throat raw.

It wasn't until he realized that kids in general were an amazing chick magnet that he deemed to show some interest in his little brother. Though he still considered the bundle of smelly diapers a means to an end and nothing more.

But then he heard the first word the munchkin said and it wasn't mummy or daddy or even Berta, the German nanny whose IQ was less than her shoe size but "Naaaaeeeeet!"

So yeah, maybe the little bugger wasn't that bad after all.



The end
