Temptations and Sins, Big Love. Nikki/Sarah. So hot.

The Teenage Queen, the Loaded Gun, Runaways. I was never a huge fan of Chase or Chase/Gert (except insofar as I like Gert and want her to be happy) in canon, but this is just heartbreaking.

Document 32 from the Russel Collection, on loan from the Franklin Institute, Have Spacesuit--Will Travel. An older, professional Peewee writes a letter to Kip. Awesome and sad at the same time, but a great extrapolation from canon.

He did what?, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Some of RAH's attempts at worldbuilding are better than others; Mistress is clearly one of the better ones, and the story builds with that well here, extrapolating and expanding the universe in a fragmented attempt on the part of Mannie and the Loonies to reconstruct Prof's life story.

Some Origins of the Fire, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Wyoh's story--and a perspective on Heinlein's universe RAH would never have been able to provide.

Where the Air is Clear, Mary Poppins. Sweet and sad and with a sense of wonder, drawing on canon but giving it a twist.

Netflix!

My brother and I have been, since Christmas, sharng a Netflix account.

Battlestar Galactica (The Miniseries, and Season 1 Disc 1)

Very slow-paced, and alternating between bits which are extremely will-to-powery (Roslin!) and those which aren't. Mostly, I've spent most of the time lusting after Specialist Cally. I mean, seriously.

Will definitely keep watching, if only for Specialist Cally. ETA: And BSG is totally Harry Potter in space.

*

Big Love (Season 1 Disc 1)

It's like a freaky Veronica Mars AU. Not really my thing, although of course Tina Majorino is teh awesome, but there's enough to keep me interested.

*

Arrested Developement (Season 1 Discs 1+2)

A wonderful tale about a boy in love with his cousin. Wait, what do you mean there are other plotlines?

*

The DaVinci Code

Better movie than for which it seemed to be given credit. Audrey Tatou's and Ian McKellan's performances were of course excellent. Taking anything out of a Dan Brown novel seriously is a little silly, but I respect the intent. The foolishness from Holy Blood, Holy Grail--which in the novel never struck me as anything more than a convenient McGuffin--was certainly taken far too seriously. And the vibes of anti-Catholicism I never got from the book did suddenly seem to be present. Still, I mostly liked it.

Over the Hedge

William Shatner and Avril Lavigne make the most adorablest father/daughter pair ever. Maybe even more than Keith/Veronica.
