I've watched the first three episodes of Threshold by now and am still unsure whether or not the series is worth watching. Any suggestions from you?

Furthermore, I've finally ordered season 1 of The Magnificent Seven (Michael Biehn in high resolution! Yumm!) and Stargate: Atlantis. Lucky Amazon. Go me!

Apart from that, I've rediscovered the strangest yearning for rare slash pairings like Peter Wimsey/Charles Parker (from Dorothy Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey books) and Richard Kimble/Samuel Gerard (from The Fugitive (Don't hit me - don't worry, it's not Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones I'm imagining; if anything, my Kimble's more like Tim Daly. I just believe the whole setting/plot is intriguing.)). Anyway, the internet (and the slash community) might appear endless, but with rare fandoms like these, you soon discover that anything off the well-trodden path is actually... well, non-existent, I'm afraid. :::sigh:::

I have another doctor appointment tomorrow. I'm afraid the next round of antibiotics is already calling my name.

By the way, http://dict.leo.org is slowly pissing me off for sure. When the heck are they ever online these days for a change?!

I want to like Supernatural, really I do, but it's so damned clichéd.

I so want to see an episode in which the brave knights Sam and Dean don't prepare for war against the supernatural to protect a helpless maiden; just once I want to see them help an ugly man of mid-forties or older with no girl or young kid in sight. Just once I want to see the police/sheriff in question act at least moderately like they/he would in reality (letting them leave town with no fixed address when there's still an open murder investigation?! Please.). Just once I want Sam and Dean to encounter unsurmountable problems when attempting to investigate the crime scene, get the victims to talk to them, or evade the attention of law enforcement.

When it started, this series felt like it had so much potential, and then the producers simply threw it all away. And it's not getting better.

Supernatural is good standard, but ultimately doesn't live up to its promise. Sad.
