 Not sure how many people are still watching it, but Rachel Nichols confirmed on twitter that Continuum is getting a final season of 6 episodes.  Which is disappointingly short, but after waiting this long for news, it's better than I expected.  (Despite its myriad of problems, I do think it's one of the better SciFi shows in recent years.)

Today I watched Ghibli's The Wind Rises, which was a beautiful movie about which I have very mixed feelings  due to the subject matter.  Viewed in isolation from world events and what came next, it's a touching movie about creation and imagination.  Viewed in context of the world outside the movie, it's a touching movie about the creation of WWII Japanese fighter planes.

And one which decided a wife who dies young of tuberculosis makes for a better story than a wife who lived longer, and who he had children with.  Sigh.
I knew what to expect going in, which is good.  Miyazaki has always had a fascination with destructive technology and war machines, but in previous movies, the protagonists have dealt with the aftermath of destruction, not the creation of the machines themselves.
