+ So I finally caught up with Damages through to the season finale, and holy hell is that a gorgeous show in every way. MUCH improved over last season, too. And it's no wonder why I love it; Show is not shy about the fact the crucial relationship in the show is between Ellen and Patty, everything starts and ends with Ellen and Patty, every event is used to plumb their relationship - men and their relationships with them are secondary (even though the supporting characters are all given really complex material in their own right). Hell, Ellen has a boyfriend this season who we rarely see.

It's like nearly every other show on television, only genderswapped.

In many ways that felt like a series finale, and a strong one, that suggests the showmakers are prepared not to get picked up. But I really hope it comes back. It's the only FX show I've seen that's remained strong past its second season (for me). Ellen's character arc over three seasons is beautifully written and acted and she's been one of my favorite tv protagonists.

This review sums up the third season wayyyy better than I could. If any of you guys watch, I could talk about it for an age.

+ Community last night was so good I can't even.

+ Finally, Vampire Diaries! Guess who's back and better than ever?? rambly spoilers )
