- Hmm, I haven't posted in a while. I had been knitting like a fiend to finish a commission for a friend, so that's probably why. Of course, I have no news or anything interesting to post about...
- Orphan Black had its series finale last Saturday. I was a little sad to see it go, but I doubt they could have sustained the clone conspiracy storyline for much longer. So it's nice that the creators got to finish things on their terms. It was so amazing that this little Canadian show gathered such a devoted following. Here's hoping that Tatiana Maslany can win one more Emmy for her incredible work. I swear, there was always one moment in every episode that I forgot that she was playing multiple roles.
( Minor spoilers for Orphan Black 5x10 )
- The Defenders premieres this Friday. I'm actually fairly excited despite how lacklustre Iron Fist was. Danny may be as dull as dishwater, but there's Matt and Jessica and Luke to make up for that. Plus it's only 8 episodes, so that should help tighten up the storytelling. The Netflix Marvel shows always slow to a grind around the midway point. And who doesn't love it when superheroes team up?
- I also bought the DLC for Red Dead Redemption, "Undead Nightmare", the other day. We got to talking about RDR at work and it made me want to revisit the game. I never played "Undead Nightmare" when it was released, but it's been fun so far (though I couldn't remember how the controls worked so there was a lot of dying while I tried to figure it out). The zombie theme fits really well with the Western setting. The writing approaches the zombie apocalypse quite seriously, but you can tell the writers were also have a grand ol' time. Now that I'm not under a time crunch to finish some knitting, I can really get back into the game.
