Last Resort- Well, that was at least a mostly happy ending. I'm just glad they got to bring it to a somewhat satisfying conclusion. It drives me nuts when a show gets cancelled, but far enough in the season that its too late to tie everything up. Like I actually started catching Alphas again, and they ended on that cliffhanger. And that will never be resolved!
Nikita- I can't believe they gave Michael a robot hand. Well, at least it doesn't work perfectly, and they did say it was bleeding edge tech, so its not too outlandish for this show.
Clone Wars- So much for Pre Vizsla. Still, it was a pretty awesome fight between him and Maul. And Pre Vizsla didn't go down like a punk. No begging for mercy or trying to get out of it, he stuck with those Mandalore ideals, accepted his fate because Maul was stronger (much to Bo Katan's horror), and only the strongest survive. Plus, Maul has the darksaber now.
Glee first listen mondays:
"Love Song"- The Sara Bareilles song, done by Rachel, Quinn, and Santana. I heard a rumor they were going to have Quinn and Santana hook up. I'll believe it when I see it! I'll admit, the prospect has me a little egg-cited, but I don't want to get my hopes up. I mean, its not Faberry, but it would be quite a coup if they did make Quinn a lesbian. I mean, I can't think of Quinn anymore as straight because of tumblr, so it would amuse me if that became canon. My mind is going through scenarios of Quinn crushing on Rachel, but she's with Brody, and straight, so Quinn's all sad because of unrequited love and all that jazz, and that leading to Santana and Quinn getting together, since Brittany is with Sam. I mean, given Santana and Quinn don't have any current love interests whatsoever (except for this Yale professor Quinn mentioned on Thanksgiving, which frankly sounds made up) its weird they're included in this song, its like, who are they singing to? I mean, they have significant portions in this song, so its not like they're just singing backup to Rachel.
ME blather: So I'm maybe a quarter or third of a way through ME3 right now. I will say, going through the three games in such relatively quick succession (in a matter of weeks, as opposed to the years people had to wait), I am blown away by the graphical improvements between games. Like when I first started ME2, I was like, "Holy crap, this is amazing looking". And then when I started the 3rd one, they managed to raise the bar yet again!
Like I said, I changed classes from Soldier to Infiltrator. I am loving the being able to turn invisible and using the sniper rifle. But given I has tech powers now, I'm also enjoying being able to participate in power combos. Particularly since Incinerate can serve as both a source and a detonator. I do have cryo ammo with the squad evolution again, so I can have my squad freeze things, and not only do I get bonus damage on sniping frozen enemies, if they're bunched up, I can instead just use incinerate on the frozen target to set off a cryo explosion and hurt them all.
And while James is still kinda boring (I think I actually like him better than Kaidan and Jacob), he's a solid teammate. And he has carnage, which is also a source and detonator for power combos. So I can pick a target, and immolate it while he does carnage on it, turning them into a living bomb (well, if its a living thing, can you really call the reaper converted creatures or robots living?) and taking out a bunch of baddies at once. Timing is sort of an issue, but since incinerate and carnage are both primers and detonators, it doesn't matter which goes off first.
I do have to be careful with being too nice though when talking to my allies though. I mean, I talk to them and pick the "nice" choices for morale purposes and to unlock things. I think I've led Steve on- I had to be nice to convince him to go to the memorial at the Citadel, so he would meet fellow pilots and organize that "rogue squadron" for the war asset. But now he wants to go for drinks at Purgatory, which I know would lead to the locking in point for a romance with him. Its amusing though, because in the 3rd one, there's no people telling you to choose between them. You can flirt with any number of people you want, until you get to an event that locks you in with one of them, and then the conversations with the others turn more platonic. So right now, I apparently have something going on with Ashley, Miranda, Kelly, Steve, and possibly Liara.
