* 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 will note that I really liked the two scenes Cristin Milioti had in the two-part premiere of HIMYM (one was her first meeting with Lily, the second was a flash-forward with Ted.)

Although she hasn't appeared since then. They seem to have decided to make rather sparing use of her character. At least so far this season.

Is S3 bad, then? I haven't watched because I decided Homeland is a show better binged for me. And also because I don't like HAVE TO SEE IT RIGHT NOW OMG.

Okay no no no, you have to tell me what you mean by that. (I've been saving it to watch in one shot when the season is over; it will mask the worst of the flaws.)

I like Elementary, too. It's really too episodic for me, but I think it got more and more interesting as season 1 went on, and the great things about it almost make up for the episodicness.

Wow, I'm really excited too. I only had a look at the Thor: TDW trailers yesterday so I've been overloaded with MCU lately.

Yes, Elementary is eminently watchable is it not?

[petzipellepingo]

Elementary is definitely worth watching.

There are reports that the creators of HIMYM are now in talks about a series called "How I Met Your Father".

I have this vision:

Mother: I'm going to tell you the story of how I met your father.
Kids: Please tell us this isn't going to be as long as Dad's story.

Seven seasons later, the kids stage an intervention:

Kids: Mom, Dad, we love you both but you HAVE to learn to tell shorter stories.

:-)

(Although apparently they've already said that the two shows wouldn't share casts, although they may share the MacLaren's settting.)
