This icon is pretty much completely irrelevant, I just wanted to use it.

So this is the part where I admit that I have been watching The Walking Dead, and it is very interesting to experience watching a show "casually"--I actually haven't seen the second half of the first season, because I watched the first half with my friends and when the quarter ended and I went home I didn't feel a deep need to keep up. Then when the second season started I was back at school again, so hey, why not? There is a part in my brain screaming about continuity and details and how stories are much more effective if you haven't been skipping huge chunks of them, but there is also a part in my brain that says, yeah, that is all very well and good, but you're really just in it so you can bitch about something with your friends, you are not here to develop an actual attachment to the show. Which is actually kind of fun! No complicated feelings, no rage at the writers, none of the perils that come with emotional investment.

This does not mean that I am unable to develop a massive :| -face at plot events.

Ensemble American TV drama, people! I'm having vague, unsettling flashbacks to Heroes, and I'm not even entirely sure why.
