Love & Hate 21/11/08

Things that Big Dumb Object has loved and hated this week:

Loved
  • Eddie Izzard live! A tangent about weird names in Dune ("the film with the big pants"), multiple references to Darth Vader, live checking of Wikipedia on his iPhone to find out how Walter Raleigh died, giraffes miming an incoming tiger, jazz trumpet playing chickens and so much laughter it hurt.
  • Terminator : The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I'm seriously loving this series now, there's some wonderful characters and story, and some pretty stylish execution. If only they would lose the Scottish T1000 it would be perfect.

Hated
  • Heroes. You can Retcon a back story as much as you want, but we know that you're desperately making it up as you go along chasing viewers and trying to dig out of a hole of  a bad story.
  • Rain. Drizzle. Wet stuff. Water from the sky.
