The pleasure of anonymity

There’s something reassuring about the idea that not many people read your stuff. You have greater freedom of expression, you don’t necessarily have to agonise about every single word (only every other one). It’s quite nice really.

So I’m a little bit worried to discover that my review of last year’s series of Charlie Brooker’s Screen Wipe is not only listed on his Wikipedia entry, it’s also linked to from the BBC4 Screen Wipe page. Should I have been quite so harsh? Should I have accentuated even more positives?

It’s all most upsetting.

Comments feed

Little bit of a housekeeping message here, rather than anything that’s potentially interesting.

If you want to keep abreast at all times of what everyone’s saying on this blog (which you might do. I don’t know), there’s now a comments RSS feed you can subscribe to. It’s for the entire blog, not just the latest entry, so you can be sure of knowing exactly what’s up at all times, particularly if you subscribe to the entry RSS feed as well.

Here ends the customer service message.

UPDATE: I should mention that if you don’t know what an RSS feed is and how useful it can be, there’s a fine explanation on the SixApart web site.

Chloe O’Brien = Janice Rand?

Was watching Star Trek last night (only for a bit: Miri is a rubbish episode, banned for years for being too violent but should have been banned for being too dull) when I suddenly spotted a strange resemblance:

Grace Lee Whitney as Yeoman Janice Rand

Mary Lynn Rajskub (Chloe O’Brien from 24)

Is it just me or is there something eerie going on there? Watch the next episode and see what you think.
