Go to IMDb.com and look up 10 of your favorite TV shows.
♥ Post three official IMDB "Plot Keywords" for these 10 picks.
♥ Have your friends guess the show names.

1. Science / Improvisation / Espionage
2. Action Hero / Future War / Crime
3. Submarine / Dolphin / Futuristic
4. Good Versus Evil / Back From The Dead / Babe Scientist
5. Police / Vampire / Multiple Time Frames
6. Sci Fi / Time Travel (seriously, there were only two keywords there) ETA: Police
7. Famous Opening Theme / Android / Tea
8. Extraterrestrial / Dark Past / Girl Heroine
9. Historical / Mask / Character Name In Title
10. Historical / Based On Film / Katana Sword

Most of these are no longer on the air, but think back to the early- to mid-nineties (which is when I used to regularly watch TV)

And extra credit to anyone out there who remembers Ireland / Ancient Rome / Sword And Sorcery

Ahahahaha, and Pirate / Ghost / Number In Title

This is too much fun.

I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself. I had no idea what any of the TV shows actually were and inventing fake TV shows was more fun than my essay (Shakespeare's sonnets are very pretty but he just wrote so gosh darned many of them)

That could be a meme all on its own (which actually is a tempting idea).

What about the sonnets?

Heh, the second episode in Dr. Who season 3 that my Russian professor just hooked me up with is full of Shakespeare-y goodness.

What about the sonnets?

Essay du jour is a 2500-3000 word essay on Shakespeare's "strenuous rearguard action" n the sonnet sequence against Time's all encompassing endeavours. It's worth 40% of the class mark. It's certainly going to be a much more inspiring and fulfilling essay than my Bridget Jones one but the question is so open and there are so many sonnets, I'm still feeling a little at a loss as to which way to go.

On the plus side, I get to read loads of pretty sonnets.

That _is_ a frustratingly open and vague topic.

Ha. And then I went and checked my friends page. *snicker*
