New fandoms, TV

bennet_7- Right now I'm going through a Sif/Loki from Thor phase. Luckily ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cobweb_diamond is also feeling these feelings (THERE ARE SO MANY) and I have been able to piggyback on her fandom adventures. Here is a handy dandy ship manifesto she put together.
- I tried out Pan Am for four episodes but it's just not good. Dropped.
- I marathoned Once Upon A Time a couple of weeks ago and was charmed but it's not very good either. It's just too Disney. I'll give it a couple more episodes, though.
- I am watching and sometimes enjoying Hart of Dixie without shame (I am a duck and your judgement is the rain). I really think it would be a better show if Rachel Bilson banged her hot redneck neighbour instead of pining for nice lawyer guy who is engaged.
- Shows I am watching out of habit: The Office and How I Met Your Mother. The former is close to being dropped.
- I really enjoy Revenge but I don't care about any of the characters. It's a weird new experience for me because normally I find at least one character to invest in but here there is no emotional involvement on my part. I mean, I guess I like Nolan best but I probably wouldn't if he didn't dress as he does. Thing I am excited about: BATMANDA BATMANDA BATMANDA and the day spa of vengeance. (She needs to go back and get her roots re-done.)
- The Dan and Blair Show is apparently coming back this week!
- If you're looking for a hilarious half-hour British comedy, may I recommend Spy? It stars a bunch of awesome people (including Mat Baynton from Horrible Histories!) in the story of a single dad who is unwittingly recruited into MI:6 but cannot win the approval of his Machiavellian nine year old son (for real, his kid is amazing. Normally I hate precocious kids but Marcus is a little shit who reads George W. Bush biographies and wants to head the IMF. I love him.).
- I have tried Ricky Gervais's new show. Was not impressed but I'll give it the series.
- For my fill of drama The Good Wife has been kicking ass and taking names, Being Erica has had issues but is still wonderful, and Homeland has been rocking my socks off. Claire Danes and Damian Lewis for all the awards.
- Yes, Dan Harmon, you are really clever but your constant need to point out how clever you are (and also - always - the way you have turned Britta into the buttmonkey) is disrupting my enjoyment of Community.
- Misfits is amazing. I don't miss Nathan at all.
- But in conclusion: Parks and Rec is the best! I would like to go on the record and state how much I love it.

Batmanda, wow. I think I'm only one episode behind in my Revenge viewing. The last one I saw, they went to the IN A NEST OF VIPERS YOU MUST BECOME A VIPER place. I guess there's more of that to come. :)
- The Dan and Blair Show is apparently coming back this week!
Yay! Uh, I'd like to somehow let my past self know that there's hardly anything worth watching between 5x04 and 5x10 of GG. I mean, I still would have watched! But I'd have been prepared. Do you read the spoilers? The dramatic 100th episode is just around the corner.
Marcus is a little shit who reads George W. Bush biographies and wants to head the IMF.
Ahaha, I'll look out for it.
I marathoned Once Upon A Time a couple of weeks ago and was charmed but it's not very good either. It's just too Disney. I'll give it a couple more episodes, though.
For me this one falls into the category of shows I'd watch if they aired here, but I don't feel the need to download. I did like the hot sheriff.

I do not go actively looking for spoilers but I'd be happy to hear both the good and the bad so that I can prepare myself for disappointment.
Spy has finished airing but you can stream the episodes here (http://durrenbootysboner.tumblr.com/post/13077915396/spy-episodes-1-6-codename-loser-codename).

Basically what got me watching.

Date: 2011-12-09 12:07 am (UTC)The 100th episode is the royal wedding. There have been lots of photos of Blair in her wedding dress, on the street and looking upset, apparently having run out of the reception. And there's supposed to be a scene at JFK airport with Dan and Blair, both in their wedding attire, which is probably in that episode also. But Louis is still around in episode 14, so there's no end to the royal crap in sight.
