Today on Queen Street...

• 19:25 @cleolinda - totally prepared to watch and be wowed by RDJ as Holmes but I'm having trouble summoning pre-movie squee. Woe to be squeeless! #
• 22:33 @AntoniaZ Y'know, we could have let him in, he would have spoken to eight people and it would have been over by the next day. Stupid. #
• 23:35 @AntoniaZ My friend gets'em... I was always too busy trying to fit a weekend's worth of homework into the two hours after dinner. #
• 23:36 I'm watching Ocean's 11 after watching Godfather III last week... Andy Garcia seems to have... calcified in the intervening years. Woe. #
• 10:50 Crap, I think I just committed to going to dragon con. #
• 12:35 @cretkid for real. I think I've outgrown the con experience. And really, what would you do with a stromtrooper once you'd had him? #
• 13:08 Interesting new user pic. Too bad it's not mine. WTF, Twitter? #
• 13:13 After Doomsday & Dog Soldiers, Neil Marshall's hell tour of Scotland continues with Centurion: tiny.cc/hVPAS #
• 13:15 Fixed the user pic issue. Sort of. Still no idea what's going on. #
• 13:17 Re Centurion - Olga Kurylenko as a pict who takes revenge for having her tongue cut out by the Romans... no way this doesn't suck, right? #
• 13:29 @Torontoist on #DOLLHOUSE: "So, really, the show could just be called Slavehouse or Rapehouse and it would still be accurate." Exactly. #
• 13:53 Richard Ford on Frank Bascombe: tinyurl.com/denb3e #
• 15:03 There was never much chance of Galloway's being allowed into Canada but barring him is far more odious than anything he would have said ... #
• 15:59 1st #frappuchino in years. God, its like caffenated crack! #
• 16:28 I've put all music on Billy the Bloody iPod on a pass/fail basis. Paramore isn't doing so well sneer the new regime. #
• 17:31 From @AntoniaZ powerful words tinyurl.com/c5clby and the powerfully stupid tinyurl.com/dglwjp #
• 17:36 tinyurl.com/d3hocp #
• 17:37 @cb247 Paramore is so getting voted off the island. Also not making the cut: Spoon, "Sister Jack" & Rilo Kiley, "Rest of my life" #

The Sarah Connor Chronicles, "To the Lighthouse"

Okay, I love my grim, family drama with killer robots.

I have terrible existential angst-related writer's block but I love, love, love this show.

I think after 29 episodes, I may even be able to watch without being overcome with anxiety about how they handle Sarah's character - hey, I've already suffered through TERMINATOR 3 and one crappy, off-screen, out-of-character, throw-away death and that kind of thing scars a girl. When Josh Friedman said before season two began that he didn't know if you could build up John without tearing Sarah down, he lit up all the warning lights on my control panel. But in the last couple of episodes, I finally get what he meant, that the process of tearing Sarah down and building John up are actually the same thing, that it's about taking away what is extraneous and revealing what is essential to these characters. For John it means growing up and putting aside his child's illusions about his mother, what his life should be and himself. For Sarah, it means setting down the baggage of the last 17 years and accepting what she can't change and fighting like hell to change what she can.

God, I love this show.
