Happy new year!

I meant to post this last night.

Hart of Dixie - 4.10 Bluebell

Season and series finale ( Read more... )

Three ships

Jupiter Jones/Caine Wise (Jupiter Ascending) because I just read a fic about how Jupiter is overcome by his hotness, her new space werewolf fetish and her feelings about him. Cormoran Strike/Robin Ellacott (the Cormoran Strike mysteries) because I read them quite recently, so they’re still on my mind. Zoe Hart/Wade Kinsella (Hart of Dixie) even though at this point in my watching ( season 3 )

First ever ship

Lynda Day/Spike Thompson (Press Gang) This may not be strictly accurate, there were probably bookships before.

Last song

‘See, Know’ by Julianna Barwick, from ‘Will’ although it’s more of a track than a song.

Last film

Cinema: Anatomy of a Fall, which I thought was good, although I’m not raving about it like critics. Streaming: The Last Five Years, Anna Kendrick in a musical, which is, OF COURSE, set in New York, aggressively so because shooting on location is one of the big reasons to adapt it into a movie.

Currently reading

Fanfic (see above). Otherwise, I’ve just started a book (non-fiction, a gift so I’m not going to name it.) I’m planning to read a chapter in between fiction, but I haven’t started the next one yet. I just finished ‘Dark Orbit’ by Caroline Ives Gilman, sci-fi, with A LOT going on in it.

Currently watching

It Takes Two and Strictly Come Dancing live or as live as I can, The Wheel of Time (my take on the last ep I watched ought to have been this post), Cardiac Arrest and Hart of Dixie. I’m also rewatching The West Wing. Some quiz shows and panel shows that I generally don’t discuss here.

The West Wing: 4.20 Evidence of Things Unseen

I suppose I should say that I deliberately chose not to watch a double bill as I usually do, thinking there were two episodes left of the season, but there are three. Oops.

When I saw the trailer for 'The English' on YouTube months ago, I presumed Hugo Blick was doing features now but no, it turns out it's a six parter, and it starts tonight, so I will be watching. In one sentence it looks like it's a Western revenge featuring Emily Blunt, with at least one significant native American character. 'The Honourable Woman' and 'Black Earth Rising' had their problems, but they were certainly thought-provoking...

I binged from 1.13 to 1.22 last week. Part of the reason was wanting to know what would happen next (e.g. I felt I had to know who they’d cast as Zoe’s father, seeing as Vice President Hoynes is Lemon’s daddy. GOOD CHOICE on Dr Hunt senior, show.) But also I was avoiding a lot of news coverage and shows I’d normally watch had been cancelled.

( This is the succinct version, believe it or not. )

After finishing watching Scorpion on DVD last year, I watched Gilmore Girls season 5 next.

( Here's what I thought about it )

[Edited on 25/7/22 to add some things and tidy others up.]

I thought ‘Dumbster Fire’ was weak, ’Foul Balls’ a little better, and ‘Dork Day Afternoon’ and ‘Gator Done’ more like it, though not as good as ‘Nerd, Wind and Fire’, for reference.

The four eps on this disc got better from ‘It’s Raining Men of War’, to ‘Crime Every Mountain’ to ‘Who Let The Dog Out (Cause Now It’s Stuck in a Cistern’ and ‘A Christmas Car-roll’.
