Who is your fav clone on OB?

This is a tough one because I love them all, but it's got to be Alison. I just find everything about her so funny and fascinating, and her friendship with Felix is probably my favorite part of the show. It was just such a surprise, and it ended up being so fantastic.

I want to give Helena a mention too, though. She really made an impression this latest season. I think she's definitely become another one of the highlights for me.

Anybody who wants to add a question can do so here. There's definitely room for more!

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.

Best scene ever

This is a pretty terrible question. I mean maybe- maybe- I could put together a list with my favorite scene from every show I've ever loved, but then we'd be here forever, so I won't. I do not have an absolute favorite scene, so I'm just going to do a favorite scene from the five shows I've already mentioned, and call it good. These might not really be my number one favorites from those shows, and they certainly aren't really my top five scenes ever ever, but hey- what can you do?

Now, I also wanted to add a question: Best story arc

It's also hard, but I have a couple that I wanted to highlight, and looking ahead I couldn't find any question that could give me a good chance to. I'm tagging it onto the scenes question because some of the favorite scenes I'd thought of initially were only as good as they were because of the build of the story arc around them.

A show everyone should watch

This is a bit of a tough one, because in my view there is no one show that will appeal to everyone. I mean, I love 60's westerns like The Big Valley, but Bonanza- which is a very similar show- does nothing for me and I don't know why (actually, I do know why. I formed a kind of insta-bond with Heath Barkley the moment I saw him and learned to love the rest of The Big Valley cast with time, while no one on Bonanza ever appealed to me on the same level. Also the music. Every time I try to give Bonanza a fair shot, the music just drives me crazy. Not the theme song- that's great- I mean the background music. There's nothing wrong with it technically, it just sounds like someone was putting his heart and soul into making exciting music without ever considering whether it could complement dialogue or anything. The characters will be having a serious talk with what sounds like a jaunty dance number going on behind them, and I can't deal with it).

Okay, giant tangent- but I think my point stands. There is no one show for everyone. I'm giving this to Orphan Black, though. I know that plenty of people probably don't like it, and that's okay, but I really, fiercely want it to be one of the most popular shows out there. It's clever and thought provoking and addictive and full of crazy twists and turns, it has lots of well-developed female characters (admittedly all clones of the same person, but that doesn't make Sarah, Cosima and Allison any less radically different and awesome) and LGBT characters who are not caricatures or comic relief but important, interesting people. I want Orphan Black to have a long, healthy run- but, more than that, I want this to be the direction TV goes in the future, and the more popular it is, the more chance there is that that will happen.

Yep. I said I'd get on it, and I got on it fast.

So, Orphan Black was great and I'm really excited for more and really sad that I can't have it NOW. Slight spoilers below, so I'm putting it under a cut just in case.

( Major Points of Interest )

Aaaaaaand Doctor Who.

So, the actual plot was pretty iffy. There was a lot of "We need THIS because of *mumblemumblecough* and it we don't get it there will be *mumblemumblecough* and THE WORLD WILL END." I mean, there was the master and he could body jump for some reason, but they lost me for most of the rest of it.

But none of that really matters, because I think Paul McGann was a great doctor. I loved his delivery and his jelly babies (which sounds Freudian now that I type it, but whatever) and his outfit and his hair and his voice and- well, most things. I'd just watched McGann's episodes of Horatio Hornblower, and I was in the mood for more of him, and as far that goes I'm very happy I saw it.

For tags. And... er... science.

One for a fandom I'm very new to, one in the middle, and one old standby.
