The Guild
Season Two
“Christmas Special”
Written by Felicia Day
Directed by Sean Becker

I love that The Guilddoes Christmas specials.  Last year, they did a sort of all inclusive Christmas song mix, rewriting and Guilding up the lyrics of the holiday songs of olde.  This year, do a The Guildversion of “T’was the Night Before Christmas,” in which they recount the story of how their guild, the Knights of Good, face off against monstrous reindeer and… wait for it… an uber Santa Clause.  They make easy work of the reindeer via sword strokes and hilarious rhymes, but then get pwned by Saint Nick, who proceeds to call them noobs and tells them to go to bed.

It’s twisted, quick, cute, and guaranteed to put a smile on your face.  Felicia Day is, as usual, great and–this time–the supporting cast come through nicely as well.

8/10

So I’m watching the fourth season of Lost on DVD in anticipation for the new season.  I just got to The Constant, the episode where Desmond Hume is stuck in a time loop between his past and the present, and needs to connect with long lost girlfriend Penelope Widmore in the present to save himself.  The episode, and the whole season really, are just beautiful television work.  It’s making me ache to see the next season, but I’m having a great time appreciating this show for what it is, and that’s one of the best series to ever grace the small screen.  Lost is Whedon quality material, and I can’t wait to feast my eyes on episode 5×01.
