Watched Agent Carter and Forever.
The promo stuff for Agent Carter is really weird. First they talk about how "she lost the love of her life" and that annoys me because what I liked so much about Peggy's arc in CATFA and CATWS is that she had a life without him, and a pretty good one. And then the show comes along and is all, "we must do the tragic struggling hero thing." Then there's this voice-over guy that comes on saying soemthing about "TV's newest female weapon" which is bizarre. I don't mind the female part, there's no reason not to mention it when it is, in fact, noteworthy- I just feel like this "newest" suggests some profusion when that is in fact not the case, and weapon is just... an awkward choice. As with last week, I like the show but I don't love it.
Boy, but I do love Forever. It was a great episode. I've heard that it was a surprise that it was even picked up for a whole season, so I'm worried there won't be a season 2. Anyway, I'm having fun while it lasts.
I'm going to try to watch Galavant soon, but so far I haven't found the time.
