Which TV shows did you start watching in 2012?

Um...well, not much, unless you count watching online, in which case you could probably count Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Princess Tutu. I also watched the first season of Warehouse 13 and a few of the True Blood and Revenge episodes, but I didn't stick with them ( Read more... )

The Hollow Crown was stunning and the casting was spot on, like having the Armstrongs as the Percys, father and son.

I wasn't aware that the two Percys were father and son in real life, but they were fantastic, as was the actress who played Kate Mortimer.

Couldn't you tell from the noses? :)

No. I tend not to notice things like that. I didn't even known that Dan Radcliffe's eyes were blue in the movies until I saw them in still shots.

This isn't the same show that I fell in love with twice. It's turned into bad fan fiction.

*sighs* Yeah. Very aptly put. It feels like they're just trying to comment on the nature of the show, without bothering to actually continue making a show to comment on.

Once Upon A Time, which I've heard good things about but that I'm reluctant to start watching now that I've missed so much of it,

Oooh oooh, want to hear some bad things about it too? Because I can provide! :o

My impression after the first couple of episodes.

My impression after the first twelve episodes, AKA the moment I decided I wanted to kill the show with fire.

Grimm is... indifferent. It's not good, it's not bad, it's just sort of a by-the-book urban fantasy show. Might be fun if you really like that sort of thing. :)

...oh, dear. See, I really like re-interpretations of fairy tales. But I don't like stories that say that a woman's story has to be about romance and marriage and TEH BAYBEEZ. I mean, I jettisoned Doctor Who because Moffat insists--while swearing that he's not sexist--that this is the only viable story for female characters. I figured out when I was eight or nine that I didn't want to bear children, and that while adoption seemed like a good way of getting around that, I didn't want to be stuck at home with kids, either. I didn't think that I'd be particularly patient or maternal. I thought that I'd be bored with the kids in less than a day, and that after I got bored, I'd get angry. So the fact that OUAT is going that route just makes me sigh, "Again, guys? REALLY? Why is that exceptionally boring story the only story that you think is worth telling?"
