Live or on DVD

[katikat]

I decided to delegated even more shows to DVD and not watch them live. I kind of fell in love with the whole DVD experience. Sure, I won't be up-to-date with stuff that way but, honestly? LJ/DW is dead as a doornail anyway and I feel like the fandom I used to love fell apart when people up and moved to Tumblr. Tumblr, it's all pictures and metas and political correctness and I miss the good old days when people just squeed together and had fun. Remember Gundam Wing? Or The Sentinel? The first season of Supernatural? I guess I'm getting old because this "new" fandom really isn't for me.

So, delegated to DVD: Castle, Elementary, NCIS, NCIS:LA, The Following and The Mentalist. Possibly even Arrow, that will depend on how the first few eps go.

Out of the old shows, I plan to watch "live": Haven, Supernatural and White Collar this fall.

New shows I plan to sample: Almost Human, Intelligence, Ironside, SHIELD, Sleepy Hollow, The Blacklist and The Tomorrow People. Though I suspect that many of them will flop and others I will sample and then delegate to DVD anyway.

To catch up on DVD: Covert Affairs, Doctor Who, Fringe, Grimm, Hawaii 5-0, Leverage, Person of Interest, Psych and Warehouse 13, those are all shows that I still need to get.

And then there are the many, many, MANY series I actually own on DVD, like: Enterprise, Star Trek: TOS, Stargate SG-1, Starsky and Hutch, The Highlander and The X-Files... and many more.

I need a plan. I'm anal like that, sue me.

Oh, I'm sure it's not that bad! There's plenty of squeeing on Tumblr, at least the places where I hang out. Well, if you still are into XMFC (particularly James McAvoy), or Teen Wolf (although that is full of metas and weird PC police).

That said, it's a little sad to see LJ go, Tumblr is useless for conversations. :(

Yup, for XMFC it's quite sweet, although I think that will change when the movie comes out and all the Crusaders for Social Justice crawl out of their hiding holes, yelling about racism, ableism and other WTF-isms. Teen Wolf is quite bad in that regard, to be honest. Which is why I decided to just use Tumblr for posting pretty pictures and not to engage anymore. And why I'm still holding the fort here, refusing to leave. I will go down with this ship because I don't like Tumblr for interactions with people. It really is useless. There's no way to actually follow a conversation.
