avoiding the dreaded "mini-theme"

Mini-themes? Lame, and pointless. Joseph Campbell? Even makes human sacrifice and cannabalism boring. Gah. This mythology class could be so cool, but instead we get to watch boring movies of boring old guys talking at each other about "sacred places" and shit. I am not well pleased.

Speaking of boring things, tonight's Angel definitely falls into that category.

( Angel 5x18 spoilers )

Althouth, at least I have hope for one of my shows. Vaznetti has an excellent post on Alias and where it's going over in her journal that really makes me optimistic for the rest of this season and next. They've got a lot of potential with their current threads, and I've got to believe that they can't fuck all of them up. Of course, that's what I said about Angel after "Home," so we'll see.

Anyway, if all else fails and everything continues to go to hell, at least I've got Touching Evil now. Watched the pilot episode last night, and I am officially IN LOVE. Jeffrey Donovan has definitely gotten much, much better since his Pretender days.

Okay, back to the stupidest assignment ever devised, the mini-theme. Grrr.
