So was Carrie’s behavior on the last episode more or less appalling than when she tried to drown her baby? Read all about it in my recap on Happy Nice Time People, the heir apparent to Television Without Pity.

It’s Happy Homeland Recap Time
Has Homeland become a lot like high school?
Let’s celebrate the 522nd anniversary of the naqba of the Americas by staying in our houses and reading stuff on the internets — like my review of the latest episode of Homeland. You can find it over on Happy Nice Time People, which is like the next best thing to Television Without Pity, now that TWP is no more.
Homeland Reboot
Homeland is back and it’s no place for a baby? So how will they deal with the Brody-spawn? See my recap over at HappyNiceTimePeople — Wonkette’s television addicted younger sister.
Coming Attractions — A Brief Rant
There have been no recent blog posts because I had the flu and it apparently turned my brain to mush. Next year I will get a flu shot. Even if I don’t get a flu shot, I will not crack wise when the better-half gets a tiny reaction to a flu-shot because KARMA.
When I do post again there will be deep thoughts on – the republican war on children (and public education), also on silly petitions versus what Anne Rice could actually do to help struggling writers (She could review their books), plus I’ll tell you how much fun The Enchanted Island was and I will apologize for seeing it as I may have given the entire upper west side the flu by going out that night. Sorry! There will also probably be a post about how truly AWFUL Die Fledermaus was. (Hint: It was the worst). Also something on why I will never get a season subscription to the Met again. (Yes, it does have something to do with Die Fledermaus). I am not going to write about True Detective because I don’t have much to say about it. Maybe I should write about hate-watching Scandal and how Kerry Washington has (literally) one facial expression.
There’s Something about Mary (Watson)
The Season Three finale of Sherlock has been legally shown in the US. Why does Britain torture us by holding it back? (Question: Is it still wrong to stream from dubious sources, even if you are a paying member of PBS? Answer: Probably not wrong, but still illegal.) My episode recap is up over at Happy Nice Time People and the gist is — WOW as John Watson might put it on his blog. It was totally awesome and I say that despite some minor criticisms of the first two — like the time the screen went white when the tube-bomb was about to go off and suddenly we’re in a flash forward? sideways? back? — who knows with Sherlock was explaining to Anderson how he faked his death (Was that a shout out to Lost?) and also the rest of the tube-bomb scene with John saying some very unJohn like words and Sherlock turning the off switch (spoiler) — that was pretty lame, and then the cold open first minutes of The Sign of the Three, when we got Greg and Sally running around on a case that had absolutely nothing to do with anything and was all an elaborate set up for a lame joke about Sherlock’s being best man. But there was nothing like that in the finale. Just non-stop surprises, shout-outs, and some of the best and funniest lines and dialogues on either side of the pond. [SPOILER ALERT:]Some haters critics will complain that Sherlock forgave Mary too easily for shooting him, that even if her intent had been to stop him and she was an excellent shot, he still could have died and seemed to have a pretty long recovery, but that’s Sherlock. This is a man who would have taken a pill offered him by a serial killer just to prove a point. He got that she’d done it to protect John and anyone who’d go to such lengths to protect John is worth protecting or at least forgiving.
So go over to HNTP and read the recap, or go to PBS and watch it now — free and legal — on your favorite electronic device.
