Things

[lagilman]

My feelings on the government shut down can be found here and here, basically.


My take on Sleepy Hollow:

I love Abbie. I love Crane. I love the storyline with her sister, which gives a nice depth to everyone/thing. The mythology of this will probably drive me insane but I'll be happy until then. And this sort of sums it up


My take on Agents of Shield:

Utterly predictable, and a metric load of fun.

I’m good with that. Especially considering I’ll be watching Supernatural and Person of Interest afterward. One show that doesn’t stick a spoon into my heart on a regular basis would be a good thing…

Oh, wait. Joss. Well, fuck that idea. Also: "afterlife." I hereby say we create the #ItsAMagicalPLace drinking game.

(and stay after the credits on this one, if you haven't seen it by now. If you have, you know why I was squeeing like a preteen at a boy band concert. Motherfucking agents on a motherfucking plane!)

My take on Person of Interest:

Oh, Shaw.  Oh, John, you and Finch really are an old married couple, even without the sex.  Oh Carter, you are still awesome. Yeah, we got it about social media, very bad, nothing on the internet ever goes away, etc etc and "turnkey revenge" is a phrase I'm going to use at some point.... Also, the reminder that maybe having high-tech everything's not such a good idea.  If it has tech, it can be hacked.  Finch getting offended  (and then threatening him with a very mild voice) at the PoI's poking his nose into his tech was priceless. And...oh.  Oh dear.  *drinks whisky*

My take on Sleepy Hollow:

... Clancy Brown... oh my *fan fan fan*

What? Wait - there was an Easter egg on Agents of Shield?

[lagilman]

Not so much an easter egg as a scene that some folk might have missed if they flipped channels after the usual story-is-over cues had played...


(hint: motherfucking agents on a motherfucking plane)

Oh... bother. I was on the "Have to return to being mother and shove child in bath at oh dear 9 p.m. so telly must go off" track.

I liked the flying car, though.

I suspect it's already online...

yes!

Yup. Joss.

We don't watch PoI, but Supernatural is on our calendar. Oh, crap. NCIS--something's gonna get clipped on the DVR.

::sigh:: We'll make it work.

I harbor hope for Agents of SHIELD on the theory that while Joss has co-creator and EP credits, he can't possibly have time to be the actual showrunner or one of its core writers. (Mind, that leaves the keys to the kingdom mostly in the hands of Jed Whedon and Marissa Tancharoen -- whom I hadn't realized were married* till I started poking around on IMDb -- which may or may not be an improvement, but we shall see.)



*And can you imagine being married and co-writing/showrunning a primetime network TV series? Talk about your 24/7 partnerships....

[paulliver.livejournal.com]

Just remember, Josh Whedon shows have always needed a season to get into their grove and steadily improve after that. It breaks my heart to think of how much better "Firefly" could have become...

[irishkate.livejournal.com]

Oooh *Joss*....I knew and yet I'd forgotten the implications of that.....


Still yes, it was good fun if not amazingly brilliant...Wonder who this show's Tara is...
