Here's a story that sort of warms the cockles of my cold dead heart.

It's about a 5 year old who got an impromptu meeting with the Avengers and then became an internet sensation.

My favorite part )

The penultimate episode of the series. No holding back the punches now, folks!

Spoilers )

This is a show where literally ANYTHING can happen (and just about anything has) so I can't even begin to speculate what the last episode ever is going to reveal. For all we know, the entire 8 seasons was dreamed by huge Nerf ball that's really an alien lifeform that's been sitting in House's office since the beginning. Seriously. I wouldn't put it past the writers.

I'm in sort of a depressed mood tonight due to non-school related (for once!) RL issues.

To take my mind off of it, I'm indulging in this meme that's a redux of a previous one I did:

Give me two fandoms I'm a fan of and/or have written for and I'll describe to you how the crossover could happen.

This author of this article listed some of her suggestions for who should play Aziraphale and Crowley should that TV series ever get made.

Below the cut I talk lots about her choices.

Taken from [info]awanderingbard:

Ask me for any character I write or have written (OCs included) and I will tell you, if they existed in the Harry Potter universe:

1. Sorting Hat: what house would they be sorted into?
2. Expecto Patronum: what form would their patronus take?
3. Riddikulus:: what form would their boggart (read: their deepest fear) take?
4. The Mirror of Erised: what would it show of their heart's desires when they looked in it?

Russell Tovey's new film sounds ridiculous and so perfectly suited for him. I really hope it comes to the States.

And just because I found it amusing, Damien Molony's latest tweet (yes, I follow him on Twitter):
To the dentist. The annual fang-sharpening and cleaning... How am I going to explain the red stains?

I amuse myself with the idea that the Old Hal would have just eaten the dentist after his cleaning while the New Hal would probably not be able to even find a dentist whose hygiene practice would be good enough for him.

The episodes are winding down!

In watching this show again after such a long time away, I'm pleased that these episodes are a nice look at what made this show so interesting but also ultimately tired. At least I won't have to weep too much when it's over.

Don't judge me. I just really don't want to be working on my 40 page paper right now.

Name 5 crossovers that should happen.

Here's an interview with Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hiddleston who starred together in Steven Spielberg's War Horse. I liked the rather substantial gap between what Cumberbatch considered an embarrassing moment and what Hiddleston considered an embarrassing moment. I think Hiddleston wins.

I also have to note that both actors have had the most amount of hoopla surrounding their last names than any other actor I can think of in recent memory. I thought I'd heard it all when legions of Cumberbatch fans called themselves the Cumberbitches. But again, I think Hiddleston might be winning with having fans who call themselves Hiddlestoners, Hiddlestalkers, and most recently, Hiddlepanthers.

I'm going to lump both shows together because 1) it saves LJ space and 2) I'd divorced from both but recently found myself entering back into the fray.

So first, Supernatural and a revisit from a familiar face.

Onto House MD. I haven't watched this show in months. I think I skipped an entire season and I probably wouldn't have cared to revisit but this is the show's last season. And even then I might have still given it a pass except it seemed now that the end was nigh, the writers decided to pull out all the stops.
