potentiality_26I already caught all my shows this week! I have... somewhat mixed feelings- general good impressions jumbled up with some meh.
So, that was interesting, but I'm not quite in the swing of it yet. I liked the Fitz scenes (he was by no stretch my favorite in S1, but I like this new twist on his character) and the new mechanic guy. I think it will be better if they get back to a more episodic storyline, and it would be better still if they'd shave off Adrian Pasdar's stupid mustache. He's a gorgeous man; why hide it? Also, I tend to get bored and somewhat anxious with shows where the characters just don't trust each other. SHIELD was generally pretty good about that. Suddenly it isn't. Bah. Anyway, there's still potential and I hope things pick up more.
The first two episodes were solid- I thought the second one was especially good. I like Lizzie's new haircut, although I would prefer if she was less nasty to Red all the time. I like the Mossad agent, although it seems like a bit of a stretch for the FBI to employ her in this case, and I miss Meera so very much. I love Dembe and Mr. Kaplan as always. Just when I was getting to not completely dislike Ressler he got annoying again. Interesting that Red says he didn't kill Berlin's daughter. If I were him I'd find a way to prove it posthaste.
Again, I'm hoping things even out pretty soon. I always love Crane and Abbie's interactions, and the way they use humor to break up the bleakness is always well handled- but I want all my heroes together. I'm not especially worried for Katrina- I guess they're going for a Maid Marion in Nottingham thing?- but Jenny. And Irvingggggg. John Noble is such a great bad guy, though. Love him.
My Tuesday watching was especially busy. I only caught some of Selfie- essentially the same ep. I already saw, so no worries there- but after Agents of SHIELD I did watch Forever, mainly because the couch was comfy and why get up when I could just... stay. I didn't dislike it, and I do so love Ioan Gruffudd, but I'm very, very tired of the same 'immortal dude' plotline by writers who never take any risks. I need to not do this to myself. He's not gonna be bi, I need to not hope, but goddamnit it's nearly 2015!
