| 4:46 pm | Drive-By For the *other* person who watches Revenge and has seen Cabin in the Woods: spoiler! ( Read more... ) |

| 9:22 pm | Scenes from the Westeros Upfronts There has been much reportage about the upcoming TV season, truly a game which one either wins or one dies. Westeros, of course, lacks mass media* But if it did not (spoilers!) ( Read more... ) *Cf. Jesus Christ Superstar: If you'd come today, you could have saved a whole nation, Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication |
| 9:44 am | NYC PSA: Son of Cumberstein Encore presentation of "Frankenstein" at the Skirball theater in Greenwich Village on June 3: 3 pm with Jonny Lee Miller as the mad scientist and Bendy as the Creature, 7 pm vice versa. $20: http://www.nyuskirball.org/calendar/fra |

| 6:20 pm | MUNCLE LP Cover: Free to Good (US) Home The yard sale season got off to a decent start, after some suspense about Weather delays. Anyway, one of my acquisitions is the LP cover (just the cover--the record wasn't donated), "Original Music from The Man From UNCLE," RCA Victor LPM-3475. I don't have any tech to take a picture of it, so no picture included but, it's red, and a semi-headless femme fatale in a low-cut dress is being stared at by Solo and Kuryakin, and there's a bronze mask in there for some reason. Anybody want it? Unfortunately I can't afford to ship it to Austria, so azdak doesn't get to play, but first US requester can have it. ETA: but of course, a photo was readily available online: http://www.discogs.com/Hugo-Montene |

| 2:44 pm | Drive-By In musical theater, revivals with a lot of changes, e.g., a new book, are sometimes called "revisals." Maybe next year "Smash*" and "Revenge" could have a crossover episode called "Reprisal." *Not, in this context, involving The Hulk |
| 12:24 pm | Drive-By Gotta hand it to "Revenge" for short-circuiting the entire Courtroom Drama thing and cold-opening with a title "Trial: Day 15". They can't match the Vampire Diaries actually-too-much-plot pace but they certainly do move along. Maybe next season Emmanda can be, like, The Black Orphan in a superhero Revengers team. |

| 4:09 pm | Moff-O-Rama! Not just Sherlock, article about various Moffatt projects--as usual, most of the comments are really interesting, some of them are awful: http://www.avclub.com/articles/explorin |

| 11:55 am | TimesBerBabe! I hope this is the right embed code--NY Times has a two-page article plus a slide show of Great Bendy Roles. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/29/a |
| Friday, April 20th, 2012 | |
| 12:48 pm | Drive-By The Verizon home page has a line that says "Remote video monitoring of your home, child, and/or pet has finally become affordable." ACTUALLY not as comforting as they obviously think it is. |

| 10:52 pm | Drive-By: Easier Said Than Done I'm doing some research on the Department of Labor Website--as one does--and I was brought to a halt by the admonition "Before you post, please prove you are sentient." |

| 7:31 pm | Drive-By Cabin Pressure in the Woods: you only *think* that Benedict Cumberbatch plays a pilot. |
| 11:19 am | Drive-By The AV Club, which is to me what tv tropes is to most of you as a time-wasting engine, has a five-part interview with Paul Feig, the Freaks and Geeks showrunner, starting here: http://www.avclub.com/articles/paul-fei I was going to link it anyway, but a casual reference on my flist to a Weir/Lycasek fic made me think: of course! Sam changed his name to Johnny! It would explain so much, starting with the Parisian Night Suit. |
| Wednesday, April 11th, 2012 | |
| 2:10 pm | Drive-By Coming Soon to a TV Near You: The GRRM, a police procedural where decapitated, dismembered, burned, flayed, etc. bodies keep dropping and it's bloody cold and they never find out who dunnit. |

| 6:11 pm | PSA Since HARDLY ANY of you are watching Revenge, you probably don't know that when they FINALLY manage to have a new episode next Wednesday (on the 18th) James Purefoy is the guest star. And he plays a painter, so he and Madeleine Stowe get to roll around and get covered with oil paint because that's how Revenge rolls. |

| 11:58 am | Drive-By I believe it was "The Simpsons" that crashed through the fourth-TV-screen barrier and depicted TV characters watching TV. I haven't seen the season opener of Mad Men, but all the reviews have a promo photo of Pete Campbell's hideous yet beautifully pattern-matched plaid sportcoat. I'm sure that Nolan immediately ordered a copy of that jacket. I was going to say that he would probably have bought the actual costume, except that he's about a head taller than Vincent Kartheiser. Then I remembered that Gabriel Mann was actually *in* Mad Men, and my head exploded. |
