Yesterday, I posted:

Finding Harry Potter. Teen. Hannah/Neville (and various other pairings.) Summary: Hannah has to find Neville.

It was inspired by a

comment_fic prompt that has subsequently been deleted. I don’t know what the etiquette for that is, quite. ( Read more... )

Isn’t it great about Tatyana Maslany winning an Emmy? I couldn’t keep up with the Orphan Black and didn’t love it enough to buy the DVD, but her performances as the clones were thoroughly impressive.

Yes, it's a terrible time to post this now with everyone gearing up for Yuletide and Christmas holidays, plus it's four months since I last did a recs post, so no wonder there are too many for me to post in one go, but here are 20 fanfiction and fanvid recs in the following fandoms: Alice (SyFy); Avengers; The Bourne Legacy; Brooklyn Nine-Nine; Buffy the Vampire Slayer; Community; The Good Wife; Harry Potter; The Hobbit - The Desolation of Smaug; The Hour; The Hunger Games; Into the Storm (2014); Man of Steel; Mr and Mrs Smith; The Night Circus and Orphan Black.

I’ve finished Arrested Development season 4, but I’m not sure that I’ve got much to add to what I said here which is in short that it’s very clever, but not as funny as it should have been. (I did think Queen B. was funny.) I got spoiled for one of the last things to happen in Blockheads, the episode they put last in the DVD running order. I wasn’t expecting it to be THE apogee of the season. I would probably be fine with that if I hadn’t been spoiled. (Although I do think I’d get more out of a rewatch of this season, we’re talking chuckles and understanding, not laughter.)

I thought I had plenty of time to catch up on the last two episodes of season 2 of Orphan Black, but by the time I got around to it (about a week after the last episode aired) the comparatively long window for watching episodes while it was on air was shut.

So, I rewatched Introduction to Statistics and Modern Warfare from season 1 of Community instead. There’s about four episodes of season 2 I want to rewatch soon – I’m being strict with myself – before going on to season 3. All the Community news has made me want to watch it more.

(That depends on my relatively new DVD player working like it’s meant to.)

The Honourable Woman - Episode 2

It’s good, but it’s not quite as good as it thinks it is.

I fell behind..I’m still behind after watching this (I’m so glad that every episode is on iPlayer) and got spoiled for one thing because of it.

Orphan Black 2.7 Knowledge of Causes, and Secret Motions of Things

( Read more... )

I want to post about other stuff I've watched and other stuff I've done over the weekend.

So, I posted Nothing Stays the Same on Friday morning. It was my 'attempt to get into Edith's head between the Christmas special and series 4' fic. I started writing it in longhand before typing it up, because it's easier to edit that way. I also listened to the song of the same title several times and debated with myself whether the ending/whole thing was too sentimental or not. I think it's okay, given the subject matter, it's Edith and it's Downton Abbey! Despite the fact that I think I watch the show differently from most viewers, I do find I have fic I want to write about it.

Orphan Black 2.6 To Hound Nature in her Wandering

The Good Wife 5.20 The Deep Web

I also finally caught up with Revenge’s season 3 finale

3.22 Execution

( Read more... ) I really should give this up for the next series. Nashville is equally soapy but at has the constructive strand of women being creative and people making music. And shows like Person of Interest and Orphan Black are doing action and conspiracies much more entertainingly.

Over the weekend, I caught up with a couple of Person of Interest episodes, although I'm still behind.

It really is better to be able to watch one episode at a time. A double bill was too much, as I was complaining all last year.

(or...I visited Den of Geek yesterday)

Orphan Black is coming back next week to BBC Three (this was almost the only thing I felt strongly about the news that BBC Three will soon be an online only show, I’m the tail-end of Gen X, too old for the channel). There’s no way it’ll be airing in double bills if it’s following so closely on the heels of the American airing, which I think is a good thing, as they packed so much into an episode that anything extra was too much of a good thing for me. (See, too old.)

That's the good news, the bad news is that The Bletchley Circle appears to have been cancelled. Ugh. To lift a quote from Twitter referenced in the article : "There are obviously already too many women geniuses being awesome on TV".

Caught up on the last two episodes of Orphan Black

1.9 Unconscious Selection

( this was more or less my immediate reaction )

1.10 Endless Forms Most Beautiful

Ahahahahahahahah.

So, some of my assumptions from the last episode were TOTALLY upended, while other things remained constant ( spoilers )

I've really enjoyed this show. At it’s best, it’s been pretty good and it’s never been less than enthralling. I'm looking forward to the second series.

Agents of SHIELD episode 6

Best episode yet! Granted, that’s not effusive praise, but ( Read more... )

I understand that an episode will be following on from Thor 2. It’s fun to speculate on how and which aspects it’ll be picking up on. ( mild spoiler for Thor 2 )

Finally (all caps time) BORGEN SERIES 3 IS AIRING ON BBC4 NEXT SATURDAY.

It seems like they'll be airing it in a double bill.

I watched and enjoyed Ambassadors episode 2 live. ( Read more... )

By the way, I realised my review of the first two episodes of Orphan Black never cross-posted to LJ. Here it is on Dreamwidth.

I only got around to watching last Friday’s double-bill today. I’m not sure I’m up for watching another double-bill tonight, although I’m keen to know what next, but normally one episode leaves me needing a bit of a lie down. Four episodes in one day is abit much...

Then I watched Orphan Black episode 6 Variations under Domestication

I then switched over for 5USA to see what looked like a new episode of Castle all right (or new on me), although it was still hitting the familiar beats, so I find I'm not bothered about missing it. It's the sort of show I'd watch if it wasn't clashing with something else, because it's entertaining, but I don't love how they're handling the will they, won't they and I've already got The Mentalist doing much the same thing. Interesting and telling that five have shunted it to this channel.

Lived up to the hype for me, or enough that I’m definitely looking forward to the next episode and pretty pleased to hear there’s a second series coming (although that depends on some of the answers we get as the series goes on, I suppose).
