the meerkat watches tv...
Sep. 23rd, 2014 07:35 amI missed most of GOTHAM because I had dinner guests, but what I did see looked well-crafted and interesting, so I'll give it another shot next week.
Even knowing where they were going with that opening, SLEEPY HOLLOW still managed to pleased-surprise me, and the fast-paced storytelling kept me intently focused, so kudos to them for an excellent start to a second season! Now, if they can figure out how to use Katrina's character properly, and not drop her into also-ran status.... (I love Crane and Abby, but I don't ship them. Not yet, anyway. The Crane/Katrina story still has interesting legs and I want to see them stretched, so to speak)
AGENTS OF SHIELD's all-important second season starts tonight, so here's hoping they too can keep up the momentum, and not hit any reset buttons. I'm rooting for them, but also worried in a way I wasn't about SH.
( why I worry/don't worry... )
And then there's Person of Interest, also back tonght. My worries about this show are legion for the exact opposite of my worries about AoS: they keep pushing the limits of what the story should be able to hold, twisting expectations and assumptions, and only my utter faith in the writers makes me believe that the newest twist to the structure is going to be amazing rather than a train wreck....
