Friday, I watched two important things: The Haven finale and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Thoughts on the Haven finale:

You know that scene in MFU where Gaby finds out she has to pretend to be Illya's fiancée and she goes: "No, no, no, no, NOPE!"

That's pretty much my reaction.

 Thing that makes me feel alone: Everyone gushing over Jessica Jones, and my attempt at watching the first episode consisted of me yelling "FUCK THIS SHIT!" at the screen for 25 minutes. Then I quit and went to clean the bathroom, which was infinitely preferable at that point.

Then again, that does seem to more or less be my reaction to most ( Read more... )

Fannish summary of the last month or so:

I can't have escaped anyone who has followed me on either Tumblr or Facebook that the new reboot movie of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. is the latest fandom to swallow me up whole. (Initial Facebook post and my various Tumblr posts.)

I swear, that film is sheer fandom bait. It's like a bunch of fic tropes got ( Read more... )

 For the past couple of weeks I've been watching all of Orange is the New Black. It's now been a few days since I finished, so I thought I'd sum up my feelings. (Those of you who follow me on Facebook and Tumblr have seen some of it.)

 Well, you've already realized that Agent Carter has eaten my brain, especially if you've been over on Tumblr and seen all my posts on the subject. It's a severe case of honeymoon phase - I count down days and hours until the next ep, I go up earlier to see the ep before work, I google it daily and check Tumblr for new posts. I can't even write fic ( Read more... )

So, all those people in the Agent Carter fandom mentioning Dollhouse made me curious, and I started watching the show. Which turned out to be both better and just as bad as I'd thought it would be.

( Cut for spoilers and negativity. )

At first, I meant to bow out of the previously.tv thread on Agent Carter entirely, but now I've had a full day to recompose myself, and some more people have chimed in making some of my points for me, so I figured I might as well.

Copy of the post I made:

So, Agent Carter is all things wonderful, with a vibe of Modesty Blaise / Moonlighting / Old Hollywood / James Bond / okay you get the picture. :-) ( Kind of spoilery, mostly thoughts on shipping. )
