Title: I Never
Fandom: Forever
Pairing/Characters: Henry Morgan, Jo Martinez, Joanna Reece, Mike Hanson, Lucus Wahl
Summary: Henry agrees to be honest playing "Never Have I Ever."
Rating: PG-13
Length: Short (1,094 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings:I'd set this sort of midway through the series? It's when I got the idea, though it took me forever (heh) to actually get it together.
Excerpt: Then came Henry’s turn. He had to think for a moment, then: “Never have I ever streamed a movie.” He even said ‘streamed’ like it was a word in a foreign language that he had picked up the meaning of in context but still wasn’t quite sure of.

I'm caught up with Britain on The Musketeers because the BBC keeps having hiatuses and so far BBCA hasn't- who knows if that will last.

I was all caught up on The Blacklist until today, and I should watch the new episode tommorrow.  I missed Forever and Agent Carter last week because for whatever reason I could not get reception on that station for anything.  I watched both this week and went back and watched the episode of Forever that I missed.  I haven't been able to get up the energy for Agent Carter, though.  I just don't love it, and the kind of militant "watch this show or it will be your fault it failed" attitude I've seen over the internet about it is making it even harder to watch, frankly.  I don't even really have much to say about it.

I also watched Death Comes to Pemberley recently.  Could it have been much more like fanfic?  I mean, I knew it was.  I knew it was a mystery P.D. James wrote with characters from Pride and Prejudice- but I don't mean the general premise.  I mean all the angst and the unnecessary romantic misunderstandings (which I assure you I ate up with a spoon).  Fanfic, I tell you.

Has anyone been watching Sleepy Hollow?  How's it doing?  
   

I wanted to post something, but I've been having a tough time figuring out what.  I watched my shows, but I'm still making my peace with Agents of SHIELD and all I really have to say is that I think that if I keep watching it will be to catch Forever after it's over.  Forever, don't ever change.  At this point, the only thing I don't love about that show is the misleading promos ABC does for each episode.  They're all "OMG tension" and "what secrets will be revealed" and envariably the episode is nothing like the promos.  I wonder if the people who make them realize that everyone that is still watching Forever isn't in it for high drama, they're in it for a gentle, slightly goofy show with an adorable leading man.  And now there's Burn Gorman!  Speaking of whom-
can he really do that voice?  Wow.  He was hidden skills, people.  Hidden skills.


And I've been watching OUAT promos and not even recognizing that show anymore.  Are they really, truly, and without irony bringing in Cruella Deville?  Lord.

And I've seen some movies lately and not really liked them.  While I still have some old favorites, I guess movies don't really do it for me anymore.  I watch too much TV.  On the one hand, movies are too long.  My brain has trained itself to expect a situation to be resolved in 45 minutes to an hour.  On the other, they're too short.  I like to have episodes and episodes to get to know characters, and a couple of hours is no longer sufficient to become attached.

I do have one comment from Begin Again, which I saw half of on an airplane a couple of weeks ago and the rest of the other night.  There's this bit where Mark Ruffalo wants to listen to the music on Keira Knightley's phone and she's all making excuses and "oh, lots of guilty pleasure songs on there" and the songs that she actually plays?  "As Time Goes By" and the like?  Whoever selected those had absolutely no notion of constitutes a guilty pleasure song.  
  

First of all, I'm not going to watch Gotham.  This isn't an "I don't want to watch it, remind me to be strong guys" mention- I catch the end of it when I start Sleepy Hollow and I have no interest- I'm legit not watching.  Hate DC.  Hate prequels.  No.  Regarding things I wasn't going to watch but have, I watched Forever again and even went back and watched the episodes I'd missed.  It's so been there, done that, not taking any risks or treading on any new ground but... God, he's so cute I can't look away.  And it's just so pleasant.

Thus, my Tuesday nights look like this:

( Selfie )

( Agents of SHIELD )

( Forever )

Also, because Netflix is so fabulous (*needs a sarcasm font or something*) here are some old shows I only just finished the latest seasons of:

( Orphan Black )

( The Hollow Crown )

( The 100 )

Netflix actually mailed me The Musketeers the day it got it, which is pretty unprecdented. Leather and historical inaccuracies here I come.

I haven't seen the new episodes of The Blacklist or Castle yet, but I should soon.
