I did manage to get my [livejournal.com profile] picfor1000 submission done (it's Mag7, in case anyone is interested and isn't on relevant communities) back in February but other than that I've been watching a lot of tv...

So, what am I currently watching (fannish or otherwise)?:

  • Person of Interest
  • Grimm
  • Vikings
  • Big Bang Theory
  • Go On
  • Happy Endings
  • Elementary
  • The Following
  • Once Upon a Time (don't judge me!)

    In terms of renewals and such, Elementary and Vikings just got picked up for new seasons, while Grimm and Person of Interest are heading towards season 3. In comedy terms, sadly it's looking like Happy Endings is going to get cancelled (boo!) while Big Bang Theory already got renewed and hopefully the same will happen for Go On.

    I already loved Person of Interest and my love for the show is just increasing over time. The writers have done a really nice job of introducing new characters (some helpful, some antagonistic), but aren't afraid to kill people off either. I particularly enjoyed the episode 'Relevant', which introduced Shaw (played by Sarah Shahi, who always looks good with a gun), as part of the team on the other side of the Machine - an episode that cleverly focussed on her rather than our usual protagonists - while seeing her pop up again this week makes me wonder what they have in store for her?

    I have to say I was unexpectedly hooked by Vikings, which is also exceptional eye candy and Elementary has also been a pleasant surprise - I decided to give it a shot and really like the dynamic between this Holmes and this Watson. I was massively sceptical about Watson in particular, not because of the female thing but more the 'failed as a surgeon' thing, which I felt started the character off in a difficult place. I wasn't counting on these writers, though, or on Lucy Liu's performance.

    And then there's Clyde. ;)

    Things I will be watching at some point but haven't got around to yet or need to catch up with:
  • The Americans
  • Banshee
  • Hell on Wheels seasons 1&2
  • Castle seasons 4&5
  • Lost Girl season 3
  • Haven season 3

    Things I am waiting to come back from hiatus:
  • Warehouse 13
  • Sherlock
  • White Collar

    Things I have stopped watching:
  • Doctor Who
  • Suits

    To be perfectly frank, I got bored midway through last season, long before I knew that Amy and Rory were going to be killed off, let alone before another whitebread girl companion came along. The only thing that could have made me stay interested would have been Oswin-as-a-Dalek as companion...

    In terms of Suits, I refer you to my previous post for why I won't be watching season 3.

    All might not be lost for Happy Endings. USA has expressed interest in picking it up if ABC cancels it.

    That would be excellent news - I'm not a major fan of US sitcoms (or Brit ones, come to that) but occasionally something comes along that works for me, usually because of a lack of laugh track!

    Castle season 5 is something magical.

    Oh, I've only seen a couple of season 4 so far, so no idea when I might get round to watching the rest...

    Loved the fic!! :)

    I'm not watching anything at the moment. I'll probably get around to trying Elementary as I really like both leads but I can't seem to find the time to manage it at the moment.

    Thank you kindly. Hopefully more fic to come in Mag7. :)

    I think/hope you'll like Elementary - the plots leave something to be desired at times but the characters make up for it. It even has a recurring tortoise!
