8 Bookish and Not-So-Bookish Thoughts (3)
Bookish and Not-So-Bookish Thoughts is a weekly blogging event hosted by Bookishly Boisterous. It allows
book bloggers (and non-book bloggers) to write about pretty much anything, bookish or otherwise (i.e. sharing
exciting plans for the weekend, rants on things they've encountered during the week etc.)
1. I have a new phone, yay! After struggling ( Read more... )
I was all set to hate that show but it surprisingly was just wonderfully warm, funny, and lovely. I'm still not a Karen Gillan fan but she wasn't terrible, so I'll give her that. I'm really sad that show didn't get the time it deserved :(
Doctor Who was so...hit or miss this season. I've been feeling kind of blah about it for the last season and a half, and I think one of the reasons this season was underwhelming was because I may have expected more from Peter Capaldi. BUT, I thought the finale was actually fairly decent and not terrible, so there's hope! (But my favorite ep was definitely Robot of Sherwood. It was hilarious.)
Downton was not as terrible as I thought it would be this season. There were plots that were meh but I actually really liked it. It *almost* was like season 1. But honestly, the Bates are never, ever going to be happy. I think we need to face that fact because those two have not had one season where horrible things didn't happen to them.
Hope all is well with you!

'Warm, funny and lovely' is really an apt description of Selfie. It's such a pity, but at least it looks like we'll get to see the full 13-episode run.
In my opinion, Peter Capaldi was a real improvement from Matt Smith in the last season (I must be honest, I never was a big fan of Matt Smith's Doctor...) I think we all expected a lot from him, but with Moffat still writing, some things were bound to stay the same, even with a different Doctor.
I really hope that Julian Fellowes will make the Bates' happy before Downton ends!

I need to catch up on Selfie...I haven't watched it on Hulu Plus after they pulled it off the air but ahh I must know what happens!
I really loved Matt Smith as the Doctor, though I think the writing totally screwed him over in series 7 (I was not a fan of series 7 at all). I think Capaldi really found his footing towards the end of this series, and I like him a lot, so I'm sure there will be fun things in store!
The day the Bates's say goodbye to Downton to do their own thing, I will be so freaking happy. Misery really loves these two (and poor Edith).

I didn't think I would agree with you about the Bates's even a month ago, but after the last prison adventure I'm totally fed up with their sad story so yes: Fellowes, let them go! (or let them be happy)
