* CAPTAIN AMERICA TRAILER!!! So excited for this, you do not even know. Chris Evans, you are presh. Marry me.

* LOL the director of Thor: The Dark World is already disowning the post-credits Guardians of the Galaxy teaser.

* Tom Hiddleston is still doing impressions, this time of Muppets. But watch out, Tom, because Alan Rickman is onto you, dude.

* And Ben Kingsley apparently did something mysterious with Marvel. More Mandarin?

* Neil Patrick Harris and family once again win Halloween. Everybody else, just go home.

* Vince Gilligan addresses some Breaking Bad fan theories. Also, I'm losing track, did I post this interview already?

* Homeland and Masters of Sex have both been renewed for another season. While the less said about Homeland the better at this point, I am really enjoying Masters of Sex. Definitely my favorite new series of the season.

Speaking of TV, we might as well check in on the other new series:

I am still watching Mom, Agents of SHIELD, Trophy Wife, The Crazy Ones, and The Michael J. Fox Show. Mom and Trophy Wife have both improved quite a bit, while The Crazy Ones and The Michael J. Fox Show have not. AND YET STILL BETTER THAN HIMYM WTF IS EVEN HAPPENING WITH THAT TRAIN WRECK. Agents of SHIELD is still running mainly on potential, but I'm in that one for the long haul.

Also, I have gotten back into Elementary. If you'll recall, I watched the first episode a while back, but didn't feel compelled to watch more. I'm almost through season 1 now, and it's quite good?

I am so conflicted about hearing this! But yes, I think my sadness at hearing that they didn't quite get back on track with the third season does ultimately triumph over my schadenfreude. Because while we seem to disagree about how good the first season was (I thought it was a good-but-not-excellent show with a small handful of "wtf?" moments back then), and we certainly agree that the acting was just plain amazing, even in the very-definitely-not-good second season.

My favourite critic Matt Zoller Seitz once said re Homeland" "I enjoyed it, but too often it felt like a crazy show trying to pretend it was quality television." Which is...yeah.
