SPN 5.04...and fire!

Something is burning. No, seriously. On my walk to work I could small smoke the whole way. And it's lighter now so I can see it. But I don't see flames and I haven't heard sirens. I guess it's the fort burning, but I don't know. ETA: Ah, that explains it!

On Supernatural... am I the only one who eye-rolled during Lucifer's big speech? I mean, seriously. I wanted to toss a copy of Darwin's Origin of Species at him and say, Dude, buy a clue.

I guess that's my real problem with this whole story arc. Suspension of disbelief on things like wendigos and ghosts, even demons, I can do. But on Creation vs Evolution? Nah. Sorry. I just can't go there, and that makes the whole premise of this season...well, it's not something I can invest in.

And it really bugs me that a TV show is, in effect, trying to sell that ultimate lie.

(OTOH, Jared does look good in white *s*)

Quick movie review for [personal profile] thanatos_kalos because she asked: last night I saw Surrogates. I'm always wary of Bruce Willis movies especially when they require him to, you know, act. But in spite of the characteristically wooden lead, the film was better than I expected. A nice twisty plot, and they'd put some thought into what the social consequences of the tech would be. I liked it.
