Here, have a linkspam

* If you've been enjoying Outlander (as I have), you'll have to wait until April for more episodes.

* TVD is apparently done with doppelgangers (thank God), so they are sending poor Nina Dobrev over to The Originals to be overworked there instead.

* Creator Jill Soloway talks about Transparent and transgender rights.

* Another interview with Jeremy Renner about Kill the Messenger. Oh wait, here's one more. Sorry, I kinda love this dude.

* Here's a really interesting look at what it's like to be a prop master on Brooklyn Nine-Nine and other TV series.

* Ben Affleck and Carrie Coon talk about Gone Girl, and Ben also talks a little about Batman.

* Yvette Nicole Brown is leaving Community. :( By the time they get around to filming the Yahoo season, there won't be anybody left.

* Yvonne Strahovski has landed a new TV series, Astronaut Wives Club.

* David Tennant and Anna Gunn talk about Gracepoint.

:( At least we'll always have the Dean.

Still can't believe David Tennant is playing his same character in the remake of a show that he's also technically still on.

WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE MASTERS OF SEX FINALE.

I LIKED IT? I feel like I may have had more specific thoughts but now it's like a week later and I forgot them, oh well. I didn't think this season was overall as strong as the first season, but still lots of good stuff. Lizzy Caplan is so flawless it's gross tbh.

Your thoughts?

I love everything the show chooses to be on principle, so yeah, what you said. My only quibble with the season is the big time jumps, which I'm not convinced were necessary. Aside from that, everything is perfect 2 me.

Apparently the time jumps were prompted by ~real life. Masters and Johnson had a looong period of doing research where not much interesting happened, and their first book wasn't published until after they'd been working together for like 10 years. So the show had to start moving quickly in order to get back to the interesting stuff.

Expect the time jumps to become more of a regular thing, too, since their relationship lasted into the 80s, and we're still at 1960 after 2 seasons. They're picking up the pace.

As long as Shirley gets her fucking sandwich shop and her kids and makes a shitton of money doing it, I'm happy. JUST MAKE SHIRLEY HAPPY, SHOW. PLEASE. That's all I want for her!

LOL YES. Maybe they could write her off because her sandwich shop turns into a franchise and she is too busy to hang around a community college after she graduated?

She's worked so hard! She's grown so much! I want to see her get all her heart's desires.
