Kira Nerys: I thought we could have dinner.
Odo: And then what?
Kira Nerys: I don’t know, maybe we could go dancing!
Odo: And then I suppose you’ll want me to kiss you!
Kira Nerys: It’s possible!
Odo: Well, then, who needs dinner? Why don’t I just kiss you now and get it over with?!
Kira Nerys: Well why don’t you?!
[They kiss]
Kira Nerys: You’re right…who needs dinner?

The crowd continued to swell; with a great rush of affection for both of them, Harry saw Neville being helped into a seat by Luna. Neville and Luna alone of the D.A. Had responded to Hermione’s summons the night that Dumbledore had died, and Harry knew why: They were the ones who had missed the D.A. most . . . probably the ones who had checked their coins regularly in the hopes that there would be another meeting.

Giles: Grave robbing? That’s new. Interesting.
Buffy: I *know* you meant to say gross and disturbing.
Giles: Yes, yes, yes of course. Uh, terrible thing. Must, must put a stop to it. Damn it.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 2: Episode 2 – “Some Assembly Required”
There are many difficult things in this world to hide, but a secret is not one of them. It is difficult to hide an airplane, for instance, because you generally need to find a deep hole or an enormous haystack, and sneak the airplane inside in the middle of the night, but it is easy to hide a secret about an airplane, because you can merely write it on a tiny piece of paper and tape it to the bottom of your mattress any time you are at home. It is difficult to hide a symphony orchestra, because you usually need to rent a soundproof room and borrow as many sleeping bags as you can find, but it easy to hide a secret about a symphony orchestra, because you can merely whisper it into the ear of a trustworthy friend or music critic. And it is difficult to hide yourself, because you sometimes need to stuff yourself into the trunk of an automobile, or concoct a disguise out of whatever you can find, but it is easy to hide a secret about yourself, because you can merely type it into a book and hope it falls into the right hands. My dear sister, if you are reading this, I am still alive, and heading north to try and find you.
A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Carnivorous Carnival – Lemony Snicket
Welcome to “Trailer Tuesday” where I talk about trailers for upcoming movies.
I’ve been looking forward to Tomorrowland for well over a year. Ever since director Brad Bird tweeted a picture of a mysterious box from the Disney Archives in January of last year, I’ve been mildly obsessed with the film (for reasons I’ll get to after talking about the trailer). Out of seemingly nowhere today, we finally got our first look at footage from the film (due out May 22, 2015) in a quick teaser trailer. I got more than a little emotional watching it, but that may just have been from personal reasons. Take a look at the trailer below, and read on for a breakdown of it and my thoughts:
Quark: You’re not exactly the most lovable person in the galaxy. You’re not even the most lovable person in this sector… or on the station… or even in this room.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Season 6: Episode 20 – “His Way”
Agents of SHIELD keeps putting out great episodes this season. Last week’s wrap-up to the season premiere was a great one, giving us some solid character development while helping to feed some of the key mysteries that have been set up for this season. This week, the mysteries and the Obelisk were set aside as we finally learned what Simmons has been up to. We also got some stellar acting from Ian De Caestecker, who is the MVP of season 2 thus far, and a look at how all of our characters have changed and progressed since last season, and how the family dynamic of the team has shifted. We also saw the return of one of last season’s dangling threads, perhaps setting the stage for more returning characters from last year. So without further ado, let’s jump into “Making Friends and Influencing People” written by Monica Owusu-Breen and directed by Bobby Roth.
