1. Agents of SHIELD done good. That final shot! ♥ Glad they’re renewed. 2. The Tomorrow People did exactly what I thought they shouldn’t at the *very end*, and totally lost me. Up until 2 minutes before the credits rolled I was willing to forgive some of the rampant stupidities and was hoping there’d be a second season, now I don’t care, so it’s fine with me that they’re not renewed. 3. Arrow: Oh, that was a really nice hand-off to season 3. Slightly more detail, with spoilers, behind the…

Picoreview: Escape Plan
Picoreview: Escape Plan: Surprisingly…I’m not sure ‘good’ is the right word, but surprisingly entertaining.

In fact, all of that has now been clipped back and will shortly be part…
speaking of reading
Not that I was actually speaking of it, but I have faint ambitions of actually re-reading TIGANA this month (technically it was April’s book and I should be reading A SONG FOR ARBONNE this month, but, er, it didn’t work that way :)) just in case anybody wants to do my lurching read-along on that book.
