Those areas of my brain have been quarantined as I write this post…

ER isn’t bad this season, but I must say I’m beginning to tire of it in general. I suppose any show gets to the point where you know all of their standard plots back to front. But ER can’t really suddenly move them all into a law firm. Patient comes in, family/friend acting shifty. Doctor notices, leaves it, notices again, follows up, gets to the truth. They subverted it quite nicely last night, but still.

Carter has improved greatly, but I can’t help but remember Alex Kingston’s comments about how the producers wanted all young people. There’s very few older people in the cast these days and it starts to show. And everyone’s just a little bit too good looking. Back in the day, you had good old normal-looking Dr. Green to smooth things out.

University… There’s a lot of Shakespeare to be read, and I’m the one to do it. And my Sherlock Holmes books are actually on the course, which means I might have to speed up my ‘one story a month’ system. Physics remains dull. Though Optics is slightly less dull. Again I find my brain trying to slide into good old “how much work can I avoid doing and manage to scrape through?” mode. There’s a class presentation, too, which means I need to make some friends, or at least acquaintances. Pah!

And, the Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith trailer has been released. As always, the trailer looks cool. Unlike all the other times, there was at least one good line of dialogue: “Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?” I can’t wait for that scene. This may just be because I’d like to see Windu meet a grisly end, but also because I enjoy those moments where the bad guy unveils himself. My prediction: the film won’t be great, but it’ll be better than 1 and 2 (not hard, but still). And the basic linking-up will raise it a little more, by association.

Plus, I heard C-3P0 gets a bigger role this time. Yay!
