Something next to normal, that's the thing I'd like to try

* The new Captain America: The Winter Soldier TV spot has generated speculation that a certain someone is going to die. Also, Chris Evans was the Grand Marshal at the Daytona 500 this weekend. (What a dork.)

* The four Marvel Netflix series will be filmed in New York.

* Drew Pearce talks about the Mandarin short, All Hail the King.

* In non-MCU Marvel movies, I'm not sure we really need this much Spider-Man in our lives?

* Dear God, NBC is really scraping the bottom of the barrel by bringing back Heroes, of all things. Okay, sound off: how many canceled NBC series can YOU think of that you'd rather see return than Heroes?

* Michelle Monaghan talks about True Detective and its female characters. It would be so awesome if next season had two female leads.

* Doctor Who is injecting a little diversity into its cast with a new companion.

* Jeremy Jordan, Anna Kendrick, and Richard LaGravenese talk about adapting The Last Five Years as a film.

* Peter Dinklage already has a post-Game of Thrones job in the works on a new HBO series.

* I would so totally be on board for a Farscape spin-off/sequel TV movie.

* Ordinarily I would have no interest in a Godzilla movie, but... Bryan Cranston, yo.

* Matthew Rhys talks about the new season of The Americans, starting TONIGHT! Plus, an interview with the show's creators.

* With The LEGO Movie proclaiming "Everything is Awesome," now is a good time for a cautionary tale. If you don't talk to your children about LEGO, who will?

* Adam Driver is not who I would've expected for a Star Wars villain, but okay.

* I haven't watched it, because I'd rather see it in context, but you can watch Hannibal's opening scene from the season 2 premiere if you want.

Icons are here.

It's here! The end of the Awesome Ladies meme!

Hahaha, okay, technically I could've finished it a while ago, but I made the picspams and then I got distracted by icon-making and... well, then I kinda wanted to redo the picspams but didn't have time because of all the iconning and I've been very busy rebuilding Elizabethan England (the Queen was very pleased with my work, and I made over 50 million pounds - at which point, I probably could've just BOUGHT England - but there were so many droughts and leaky roofs and my workers kept dying of the plague or something. It was all very stressful).

Where was I? Right. Picspam. FINAL DAY.

This one has spoilers up to "A Human Reaction" and vague foreshadowy things for... well, everything else.

(Seriously, am I still on season 1? This is going to be the meta to end all metas, apparently.)

Dear Farscape,

You are fab and I adore you most of the time, but for the love of all that is holy, could we PLEASE STOP SLUT-SHAMING CHIANA? It's really getting on my frelling nerves.
