Are the flying pigs having snowball fights in hell? Because I seem to have made it through an entire regular TV season without a single one of my shows being canceled. That hasn't happened since...EVER. I even watched multiple new shows this year, and they all made it through. I don't think it's my tastes that are changing; either the networks are relaxing their standards for demographics and audience size required to renew, or *GASP* the masses are coming around to my way of thinking.
This includes: Castle, Grimm, iZombie, The Flash, Arrow, Agent Carter (:D :D :D), Agents of SHIELD, and Once Upon a Time. I'm not counting Glee because its end has been planned for a while.
Spoilers ahoy!
( Once Upon a Time )I am loving everyone's delight in Mad Max: Fury Road, both fannishly and critically.
( Links and fannish adjacent thoughts )In flashback news, I've been watching Alias. Bless that zany early 00s show; I have to shake my head every time Sydney skulks through her missions in her all black spy gear...with a belly shirt, so her abdomen flashes through like a beacon whenever she moves. So stealthy!
Confession time: I loathed Kennedy in Buffy season 7. Her storyline, her designs on Willow, the lackluster performance by the actor...everything. So I take a certain amount of catty glee (I will admit to being an awful person sometimes) to seeing
Iyari Limon in
an irritable bowel medicine commercial. Heh heh heh.
Speaking of commercials, have you seen Kristen Bell and her husband Dax Shepard
hawking Samsung appliances? They legitimately made me laugh; I watched the whole behind-the-scenes thing, because I love watching KBell in action, being loose and comfortable with herself, and HAPPY.
I saw Avengers: Age of Ultron, because it was necessary as a MCU fangirl. I'm still deciding if it's too late to post a reaction piece about it, because about 2300 words poured out of me when I sat down to watch an AHEM copy.
I've got a business trip next week to visit the main office. Airfare was ridiculous for traveling that week, so my coworker and I will have to drive 1.5 hours to a podunk airport, take a hop to Chicago, then over to the Twin Cities, meaning a day wasted in travel each way. But I'll get to have dinner with
heresluck, which I am very happy about, and lots of down time to catch up on shows. I'll be packing Lost Girl, Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries, Doctor Who, Orphan Black, plus some movies for my Big Idea VVC vid...and going into the office at some point. :)
I hope you all have a lovely weekend!
