shallowness

To recap, we had a pointless break from Person of Interest on five – isn’t season 3 airing in the US now, so I don't get why it was off for several months. I barely remember where we are in terms of the overall arc (specifically I don't remember who knows what).

Still...surprisingly enjoying this without too many serious caveats, ( Read more... )

Last night, I caught up on Nashville and Parks and Recreation - having mistakenly thought the latter was airing on Wednesday night. For once, it was nice to be wrong.

Nashville 2.1

Mixed bag, I suppose. ( response to the episode and one spoiler from a picture I saw for later on in the series )

Parks and Recreation - 3.1 Go Big or Go Home

Hee hee. ( Read more... )

The Mindy Project 1.18 Danny’s Friend

( spoilers )

I’ve held off from posting about Nashville, because I thought there were 22 episodes in the season, not 21 – which does seem a random number, although, in hindsight, given the DRAMA of episode 21, of course it was a finale. As I found out when I tried to catch up with a non-existent episode this morning.

How to describe my feelings for the show? I’ve quite enjoyed it, although I didn’t love how they went for the second half of the season with Scarlett/Gunnar, which was what I most passionately cared about, although I like Scarlett’s journey. I enjoy the music (much more than I thought I would), which is used really well within the show, and I appreciate the drama, but I’ve never felt compelled to watch the next episode (like I’m itching to see the next episode of Top of the Lake or how there is no question that I’ll watch Once Upon a Time). My attitude has always been more ‘I’ll catch up with it eventually.’ It might help if More4 air season 2 in a 9pm slot - but not The Good Wife's. I enjoy the dynamics that having two female leads brings out. Also, I would love to see some Juliette/Liam happening at some point.

ETA: I tried to watch The Americans on ITV Player, but it didn't work - it's been a bit chancy. So, I took that as a sign and caught up on Nashville instead.

Parks and Rec double-bill catch-up tonight!

In the middle of being fairly productive, I caught up slightly on Nashville (I'm still one episode behind), realised too late that I could have watched OUAT on 5* and watched Revenge, interspersed with snippets on Iron Man on Film 4.

Nashville 1.11 You Win Again Once (Again, 4oD advertises an episode with a picture from the next episode. Moreover, it’s spoilery. Boo.)

( long )

Revenge 2.17 Victory

( much shorter )

Parks and Rec

I didn’t realise the first series would be so short (so British length, even!) At least BBC4 are carrying on straight away with the second series.

The Good Wife 4.10 Battle of the Proxies

I had a slight battle with the buffering in watching it BUT I can choose to watch the next episode live tonight on my tellybox WITHOUT SUBTITLES because I have sorted out the TV situation. Finally. HOORAY.

Nashville 1.8 Where he leads me

Oh, WELL DONE 4OD for putting a picture from THE NEXT EPISODE up for this one. A really spoilery picture too.

We’ve now reached the last four of the fandom March madness thing. Getting the obligatory all women comment out of the way, we have Britta vs. Hermione and Martha Jones vs. Joan Sherlock. Full names for characters in fandoms I don’t really know! ( Read more... )

The obvious question following the Veronica Mars movie getting Kickstarted news has been will this be a trend and what project would you like to see green-lit? I’ve seen some suggestions that seem way less likely than VM, where the show’s creator and star were on board and had been actively working on scripts. It’s also the kind of project that could realistically be made on a low budget (depending on the scale of the mystery.) Of course, if this is a success – and it’s a step up from Arrested Development getting made by Netflix on the basis that if they make it, the fans will come in terms of fannish involvement in funding – maybe other projects will happen. I'm sure 'the industry' will be watching.

My answers: Because it’s so recent, I’ll mention The Hour, which was cancelled after a cliffhanger. I saw a suggestion that they should have allowed it to wrap up with a feature-length episode that I liked, where said cliffhanger and other characters’ stories ( spoiler for series 2 ) could have been resolved.

In the realms of total fantasy: Jake 2.0. But I don’t think it ran long enough or had enough of a fanbase.

Another thing about the Veronica Mars movie stuff that’s giving me pause is that I’m reminded that the show first aired in 2004!

Last night, I had a Nashville double-bill

I had a Nashville double bill on Sunday night, and it made me more sympathetic of some characters, feeling I had a better understanding of where most of them were coming from and that at least the show wasn’t too one-note about them either (sorry). Will I be in it for the long haul? Still don't know.
