I like all the things on television!

I'm trying to keep track of all the shows I'm watching at the moment. Since I think most of the stuff I watch is actually on right now.

Arrow - Good show, I like the team. It used to be fun to have on in the background but the episodes seem to have less filler than they used to, and I'm liking it a lot more. Though I'm really not happy with what ( Read more... )

I have yet to watch S3 of Arrow, it's saved on Sky though, so I'll watch it when I'm working slightly less xD

I have watched the Flash though, it's fun and reminds me a lot of Smallville xD Grant Gustin is great ^___^

I fell behind on Gotham as well...

I watched the first episode of Agents of Shield (yeah, acronym never happening ;)) today and I was kind of almost more excited about that tiny bit with Peggy and the Commandos? But I did like what I watched though I can't really remember what happened to Ward that they were being all weird about him. I'd also rather he wasn't there, he's not really interesting :/ I did enjoy Skye, May, and Triplett a lot though.

Doctor Who I've been kinda 'meh' about recently. I don't really get why the Doctor hates soldiers all of a sudden? And I have had to swiftly leave the room twice this season because of Cyborgs/cybermen... Clara is just...I don't even know and a lot of her relationship with Danny is similar to Rory/Amy which is boring but I don't think Moffat knows how to write relationships...

My bugbear with Sleepy Hollow, aside from Katrina getting nothing to do but be everyone's love interest and be locked in boring places, is that Ichabod seems to have witnessed every pivotal moment in American history of the late 1800s which makes me roll my eyes a fair bit, but I do still enjoy the show.

I also need to catch up on the Blacklist, which I am also enjoying xD

I feel like I have managed to watch more of my mum's shows than my own as of late, but I shall rectify that. Are you still watching Hawaii Five O? It kind of makes me sad that they got rid of Catherine and have brought in the conspiracy dude full time :/ I don't care for him much at all...but it's my mum's show. I will shush ;)

I've been enjoying it more recently. But I really do wish Katie Cassidy wasn't going to be Black Canary because she's just not working for me. I wish it could have been Sara, she was perfect.

Flash is so much fun so far, and everyone is adorable, it really is like Smallville only I like Barry so much more than I did Clark.

lol, Gotham is definitely a show that would be hard work to catch up on if I didn't catch it when it aired. The villains are making the show for me right now.

Yes, oh my god, yes, that little bit at the beginning, if Agent Carter is going to be that then I'm completely behind it - though it does make me sad that we've just watched this amazing organisation that she built get destroyed by Hydra :( Lol. I know though, why is Ward still there? No one likes him.

I'm honestly as sick of the Cybermen as I am the Daleks. I no longer care, why do they run their most interesting bad guys into the ground? Why? And I'm really hoping that's the last we'll see of Clara though, I've just had enough of her.

Honestly I'm kind of loving that about Sleepy Hollow. Ichabod knows everyone in America, and he was around for everything, in a variety to hilarious wigs. It makes perfect sense!

They got rid of Catherine? I liked Catherine, and I have no idea who the conspiracy guy is, god, I can't even remember the last episode of H5O I watched...season 3, maybe? season 4? I genuinely can't remember. His mom was back and then she was...dead, maybe, or something??

I agree. I got spoiled for the Sara thing, it made me sad, I did so love her as the Canary.

Lol Barry is wonderful, I agree he's much more fun that Clark :D

I will absolutely love it if Agent Carter is going to be like that, and yeah its so sad that she worked so hard against Hydra and they thoroughly corrupted her organisation anyway. Poor Peggy. I feel ward is only there to create tension with Skye, which is sad because she can do so much better and Ward really isn't all that.

Agreed, they just keep redoing the cybermen and the daleks to an absurd degree, they are terrible at thinking of new things lately (are they doing a 'time is eating itself' storyline again? I can't remember...) What happened with Clara? I was too afraid to go back in the living room when Danny started taking his cyberman mask off, I bolted...

Lol! It's just so crazy! But its okay Ichabod, I will learn to forgive you ;)

Yeaaah :/ The conspiracy dude is the big dude from Lost whose name is currently eluding me, and I'm just not enjoying him at all. He's such a cliche and I dislike the 'Look he's always right though!' thing. Meh. I know I wouldn't be watching this show if it wasn't for my mum :/ You know I can't even remember what season that was that his mum reappeared from the dead or whatever it was she came back from it is all just continually that ludicrous. Now Danny has a brother that has gone missing/got killed by some bad guy...

I didn't realise it had been so long, sorry!

I was spoiled for Sara too, and even with all the rumours about her coming back I'm 95% sure it'll just be flashbacks because they seem absolutely determined to have Laurel as that character and it'd be stupid to have two. It makes me sad :(

I've seen some new clips of Agent Carter and it really does look like she's going to be amazing, and at least we'll get her setting it all up (and presumably weeding out Hydra agents as well there's bound to be some of those!) They definitely want Ward to be a huge part of the show and I just don't care about him, I'm not even sure what they could do to make me care, to be honest (unless some sort of bodyswapping/possession thing happened and we got a completely new character in his body? A more interesting character.)

lol, you've probably discovered what happened in Doctor Who already but Cyber-Danny died and Clara is sad but told the Doctor everything is fine. Doctor was sad too but he lied as well and pretended to be fine. Honestly a bunch of stuff happened and I was underwhelmed, completely underwhelmed. Though I did enjoy Michelle Gomez as The Mistress.

Ah, yeah, I know that guy. I didn't know he was in Hawaii Five-O though, honestly I now can't remember if Steve's mom died or just got kidnapped a lot? Unlikely these seemed to happen to that cast every five minutes and no one seemed all that surprised for long?? Missing/killed, probably the same thing on Network television!

Lol it's alright xD

Yeah I'm sure it'll be flashbacks too sadly :( Yeah they had Laurel set to be that character even before Sara appeared, which is sad because Sara was so great.

I think she will get to scupper some Hydra peoples? I'm hoping so, even though we already know it is futile, she can at least stop them a little? D: It'd be cool to see the whole set up though and any shady Hydra goings-on. I don't care about Ward either :/ but yeah I can see them going for redemption arc even though everyone is angry at him and he really isn't that interesting :/

No, I hadn't xD The Doctor always lies and pretends to be fine... Clara is just dullsville :/ Michelle Gomez was rather wonderful xD

He appeared mid to late last season, he's just irritating but they keep validating his nutty theories and making him important when really it just feels like they are going for a Lost-regathering. And he's really not a worthy replacement for Catherine in my opinion, I liked her, he's just annoying. I honestly can't remember about Steve's mom. I can't even remember if she died eventually or if she's just gone on the run again or what happened. It's all silly and soap opera-ey. Everyone has a nemesis!

They always do that to me. The 'character you like is coming back' and I get all happy, and it's a bloody flashback, every time!

Yeah, it's going to have the usual prequel problems, but she just looks so amazing doing every every time there's a clip, or a trailer. I want to watch her be amazing in the nineteen forties! They are so going for a redemption arc, and I'm all sorts of not interested. It's annoying, I honestly don't remember being this completely uninterested in what is effectively a main-cast member of a show I'm watching?

It used to be so good and then it started getting a bit too 'Steve jumps on things' and 'Danny complains about everything' and 'everyone else wear see-through clothes and look sexy on a beach, or holding a gun. I had enough shallow police procedurals already. I do kind of still miss Steve sometimes though :(

I need to get myself a Nemesis!

It would be a really nice surprise if that wasn't the case, but Arrow is the King of flashbacks I don't trust them at all!

I know, she looks great and and it looks fun and I'm really looking forward to everyone having adventures even though Steve and Bucky are gone (and them dealing with that will/could be interesting? I mean we know they aren't dead but they don't!) I honestly can't remember the last time I came across a main character that I felt we could just do without and it wouldn't make a lick of difference except free everyone else up to go do interesting things without him. He's not at all repentant either, I can't see how this is going to work at all except through Skye and poor Skye deserves someone way better. Like the Falcon...they'd be awesome together...why did I put that in my head...

It's the giant leaping conclusions that are ALWAAAYS correct that get me, it is honestly incredibly frustrating. I am fine with shallow police procedurals but pleeease you can't always be right! And yeah poor Danny doesn't get much else to do but complain about stuff and always get jilted :/ I feel bad for Kono and Chin (did I just accidentally give him his Lost name this now?!), they don't get much to do aside from be sidekicks.

You can visit Hawaii, I'm sure you would find one in seconds, everyone else does! xD

I know. Arrow is all about the flashbacks, which is why I don't trust the casting. Also how is Katie Cassidy so much less believable as a badass now, after she was so good on Supernatural? I don't get it?

it wouldn't make a lick of difference except free everyone else up to go do interesting things without him.

Yeah, I can't help but feel his time would be much better spent having plot for pretty much anyone else, like Tripp, he's cool, or May, she's always fun. Go away Ward no one likes you!! Also, no, I completely agree Skye/Falcon works for me.

lol, I want to go to Hawaii and find my nemesis (he'll probably be the owner of the car I try and vault over just for the hell of it.)

I really don't know, I want to love her but I just don't and I can't really pinpoint why :/ I really hope Laurel and Oliver don't end up being endgame, I think they have sibling-like chemistry rather than anything else :/ She's another character I'm quite uninterested in, I was actually disappointed that Felicity wasn't in the last episode until the very end :/

I love Tripp, I am all for more of him! And May is great, I love when we get to see that little bit more of her :) I want all the Skye/Falcon now! :D

Lol! A totally justifiable way to earn a nemesis, it's probably why they have so many on the show ;)

They kind of messed up her character from the start, which is what was the most disappointing. She's supposed to have trained for years and years, since she was young I think. Black Canary is a better fighter than Oliver. But Laurel's already...what thirty something...and kind of rubbish :( But I definitely agree with you that at the moment I'm not feeling any sexual chemistry at all. It really is more like sibling chemistry. I think it's going to end up being a shame that Oliver and Sara had such great chemistry.

pyjamagurl December 1 2014, 17:06:44 UTC
Agreed, which is another reason Sara was rather perfect; she'd had years of training, she was a better fighter, and she had great chemistry with Oliver. They've rather shot themselves in the foot in a multitude of ways by killing her and forcing Laurel into her place. I just can't see Laurel besting Oliver :/ Even Thea is getting a bit of a head start fighting-wise...

entangled_now December 1 2014, 21:35:44 UTC
It makes me wonder whether they think they screwed up or whether they're completely and totally behind the whole Laurel thing - I know some people must like her, but most people I've heard talking about the show just don't think she works. She doesn't feel like a main cast member.

But yeah, even Thea's already more kick-ass than her!
