shallownessOn Thursday night, I fully intended to watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine, but I sat down to look at books online about twenty minutes before and when I checked the time next, it was six minutes past nine and, well, I'll catch up and write about it later.
Earlier in the week I did watch a whole episode of Suits (6.11) online, i.e. I went and looked for it because it airs at 10pm on a Sunday night, which is not a time I’m going to attempt to start to watch a show.
My previous association with Suits has been fragmentary, growing from a flurry of Harvey/Donna fics on my friends list or het_reccers. Oh yes, I'm so far down the fandom journey that I've read fic without consuming the canon properly - reading outlines or reviews, watching clips or vids will do to give me a grasp of things. Sometimes it turns into my watching the show/film properly. I did try to watch Suits, understood the concept (but the way it all revolved around Harvey and Mike, pretty though they are, didn't hook me and the lawyering didn't either. I grasped that Donna was awesome and enjoyed watching Gina Torres, but I don't think I watched a full episode. In the last one I saw, the music editor was really into the xx (which I understand) and Harvey was in a relationship with a single mother?
Anyway, a TV guide said something about Harvey and Donna's romance, and I thought 'Oh, hello'. In the opening scene it was intimated that they'd had TV sex and I was just thinking 'Well, they've got quite far along' especially as the previously clip had just had them holding hands after an emotional midseason cliffhanger until it turned out to be a dream sequence of Harvey's.
My take-out from the episode was that Harvey is a walking psychological wound, Donna is still awesome, speaks sense and everyone should listen to her. Torres' Jessica has gone, which means there will be a less regular woman in power, so I don't know whether I'll stick with it. Because yes, I’m fully aware this is a male boss/female secretary dynamic – I don’t know why I bothered with the adjectives, because it’s nearly always gendered that way, and I have very mixed feelings about it, even as I have shipped Josh/Donna, Betty/Daniel and Tony/Pepper over the years. And it may be other problems with the show that makes me give up on it again.
In other news, Festivids went live more than several days ago and I have many new vids to watch.
