ironymaidenwhat are you currently consuming?
Jane the Virgin, Agents of SHIELD
i'm behind a week on Jane; they were making me annoyed with a love triangle plot, and now while i like how that was resolved we'll have to slog through the consequences. with the telenovela format you have to take the good and the bad together.
SHIELD is pretty bonkers so far. they're completely avoiding the events of the films, they've split the party, and we're still mostly in spaaaaace. (i'm sorry that we couldn't let the TV shows explore the stuff that was skipped over in Endgame. seriously, there was at least an amazing season of The Defenders in there.) but hey, Clark Gregg might be the only man who can actually rock skinny jeans.
what did you recently finish?
Star Trek: Discovery. season one DVDs finally came in from the library, and i liked where it was going enough to watch season two. (still resentful that people outside of the US and Canada can just watch on Netflix. it certainly hasn't sold me on buying yet another streaming service.) there are many things that i liked, and many things that i did not. through both seasons, it seemed to alternately smoosh too many plot points into too little time, and stop ticking-time-clock scenes dead for long looks and big discussions of feelings. season one was spent becoming Star Trek (in that while i liked many things that they did, i felt that the moral core of Starfleet and the ensemble cast were both missing, and didn't arrive until the end of the season) and season two ultimately overcorrected with nostalgia wank that only accented all of the things that didn't slot into the assigned place in the timeline.
even though i'm annoyed with it, i expect that i will eventually watch season three. but probably not as it airs.
what will you consume next?
i'm busy going to SIFF films, so who knows?
