The TV meme and stuff
Jun. 4th, 2010 07:13 pmYes, I forgot yesterday. SHUT UP, I'M MOVING HOUSE THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW.
*beat*
OH GOD I'M MOVING HOUSE THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW!
Day 03 - Your favorite new show (aired this TV season)
And here I don't actually have an answer, because I haven't watched any new shows this season.
Actually, that's not true, I watched the first three episodes of V. And it was rubbish. Oh, and I watched the first episode of Luther, the new BBC crime mini-series with Idris Elba and Indira Varma and Paul McGann. And it was not bad, except that the main character keeps exhibiting violent rage when his estranged wife upsets him. And I thought I was coping, but then there were nightmares, and really, I just don't need that much triggering in my TV.
Also, once he figures out that [spoilery character] is actually evil on toast, it gets about 80% less interesting and 200% more misogynistic. So.
So yeah, I don't have a proper answer to this question. If you wait until shows are cancelled before you watch them, you can save yourself a lot of distress and disappointment, I'm just sayin'. Better living through spoilers!
UNRELATED POINT: one of the nifty things about what I choose to call miniskirtgate is people coming into posts and saying things like, "I don't care for Amy for [non-sexist reasons], but tearing down women in the name of 'feminism' is fail." And other people saying, "I love Amy and her wardrobes, but occasionally it seems exploitative, and that makes me uncomfortable."
Also, I really need to reread Pride and Prejudice, but, you know, one thing at a time.
