TVD is awfully uneven for me, so it's hard to tell what they do well... I could find a counterexample to everything I ticked in that poll. Idk, I reached the point in which I care about Elena, Damon and Bonnie, and try very hard to care about Caroline and Tyler again. The rest? *LALALALA NOT LISTENING!!!*

This is actually an accurate summation of how I am watching this show as of late. I do have ~feelings about others like Rebekah... yeah, Rebekah. And I don't really try to care about Tyler tbh. But yes, this is my life.
I cared about Tyler at some point in s3, and I want to care about him again! The werewolf mythology was actually interesting. Because I LIKE being into mythology, and I keep giving TVD a chance to get me hooked in its mythology. So far, no long-term success :(.
Like I'm more passionate about the thoughts I have on my own? That the show doesn't give me? Because I make it better. Like my thoughts of Elena and Bonnie will always be better in my head, because I do it better than the show does. And my talks with you and some other people are passionate and I love. But the show? ehhhhhh, no not really. It's like a give or take, or else I'm resigned myself that this is just how it's going to be. SO SAD IN ITSELF. And yet I continue to crank out fic at an alarming rate.

THIS! The whole hiatus I was avoiding most of meta discussions in fandom, because I was all "TROLOLOLOLOL, who cares?". I got full into fic-writing mode, and most of my brain is still there. Basically, I watch this show for plotbunnies...
It's just so sad, but honestly, anything I can come up with by myself or with you/others GOLD.
I enjoy having my own thoughts because I know they'd be complete for me, but for the show giving me something in return? seldom what i want or to the extent.
I quit watching TVD early in Season 2, largely because the dodgy racial issues got too much for me. I am aghast to find out that it's gotten WORSE since then. It's a crying shame, because the show had many good qualities.
As for Elementary, I've watched episodes 1.04 and 1.05. I think the procedural aspect has room to get stronger, but the relationship between Holmes and Watson fills me with glee. Before I watched it I was expecting it to be a knockoff of the BBC Sherlock, but it's a very different animal.
Sigh, I can't even figure out if it's gotten worse or if it's just maintained that level of fail? The coming episode has the potential to be infuriating because a really prominent poc character (introduced this season) is probably going to die. Urgh. And it really did/does have such potential in so many ways.
Ugh yes to Elementary entirely. I love Holmes and Watson. I've only seen one Sherlock episode so I have no legit opinions, lol. I think the approach is quite different and it's a welcome difference.
One episode of Sherlock was more than enough for me to learn to hate the show tbh. Not that I haven't seen every single episode and the unaired pilot because that's another show I was obsessed with hating/wanting to be better for a while. I mean I was really obsessed with that show in 2009, it was like the abusive boyfriend I just really wanted to love and tried so hard to change, and now I have a new boyfriend who's taught me to love again (Elementary).
Ugh, they are so lovely. I just want ALL of the good fic about these two damaged fools. This most recent episode was so fantastic with Watson, and the ending scene that was something of a mirror to that one time when Holmes started playing the violin despite being a right arse about it throughout the episode. I wept.
In accord with all your Arrow feelings. Hoping it doesn't disappoint too badly.
Ugh, I went through a phase when I would constantly watch Five by Five and Sanctuary on repeat. It was ridiculous.
