Hi, is this thing still on?

I've consumed media that I want to talk about.

Riverdale episodes 1 and 6. I read Archie and Betty and Veronica comics as child. I watched The Archie Show cartoon and sang along to "Bang Shang-a-lang." I know Archie and his pals. I spent some of my formative years with Archie and his pals. (yes, you know it's coming) ( Read more... )

I'm sipping mai tais and watching The Sentinel with tayawulf, pamelas, mctsensitve, and derora.

No, it's not the 90s, just the new DVD release.

I thought about posting so many times.

• On how much I loved Uprooted by Naomi Novik: Loved, loved, loved it. When I finished, I started over from the beginning. So layered. Hits emotional buttons while being intellectual. So, so many feels and thoughts about this book.
  
• On season 2 of Agent Carter: Great! I thought the first season enjoyable although ( Read more... )

I am disappointed in Jessica Jones the Netflix series. Don't get me wrong. It's fine as a female-led superhero series. My disappointment is because I really loved the comic and there have been changes. Which doesn't surprise me. Just. Yeah. ( Spoilers for tv series and comic behind the cut )

Please give me links to non-basketball brackets.

Here's one for sci-fi movies. Seems like I usually wound up voting for the underdog.

Recently I and a couple of other people have become interested in Supernatural, but for various reasons can't get behind watching every episode of 10 seasons. SO, is there a compilation of video clips of each season's arcs/highpoints? Like a half hour to an hour for each season? (I know there is for Destiel but I'm looking for plot, not just ( Read more... )

I don't like it. I wanted to like it, but I don't. The problem is Agent Carter herself. (1) After four episodes, I still don't know who she is beyond a woman who believes in democracy, loved Steve Rogers, and can handle herself in a fight. But who is she? What music does she like? What's her favorite pastime? Does she do anything other than her job ( Read more... )

Scorpion
This is the type of story I like, a team pulling together to win the day: Leverage, Firefly, Blakes 7, but this … was not good. The writing was bad in every way. The characterization did not rise above stock, although even if it had, it would have been ( Read more... )

An episode of Major Crimes defined fan fiction as "fantasies about characters or celebrities." Way to dismiss an entire field of endeavor. :(

Finally a new genre show that I like. Almost Human was okay, but failed to live up to its promise of exploring sf tropes in a buddy cop show. Both the sf and the buddy aspects were underdone IMO.

Believe, I am enjoying. There are powers not fully under control, bonding between a man and precocious child, a backstory that pushes the action. No ( Read more... )
