don't be dull, be fannish

( NCIS 1211 or I can't believe that this show actually managed to shock me O.o! )

( NCIS: NOLA 111 or is it just me or is the culprit totally obvious? )

Also, I decided to drop Scorpion and move The Flash to my "watch later on on DVD" list.

On Scorpion, I love the team but the cases are boring, I don't like Paige much and I hate all the attention the show's paying to Ralph and his dad by proxy. And all the unnecessary shipping goes on my nerves: Happy and Toby, Sylvester and Walter's sister, Walter and Paige, Paige and her ex... Why? Just... why?!

And The Flash... I'm not as enamored with the show like many others, it seems. It's a good one but also one better watched in big chunks. Because in big chunks, I can dismiss Barry's unhealthy obsession with Iris but week for week? Sorry, I don't find his infatuation endearing but creepy and annoying. He had ALL HIS FRICKIN' LIFE to tell her he loved her, but no. And now that she has a boyfriend he's starting to make an issue out of it? Stop, just... stop, please.

Also, Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I'll watch it once more eps air, marathon it. In these itty bitty pieces, I just don't enjoy it as much. The same goes for The Mentalist.

So, the only shows I WILL keep on watching "live" are: The Originals, NCIS, NCIS: NOLA, Agent Carter/SHIELD, Forever and The Librarians (only 4 eps to go there). Man, I really cut it down, didn't I? O.o But it will give me the time to watch my DVDs. Right now, I'm watching Smallville S8!

Agents of SHIELD 207+208: Love Fitz&Mack, Bobbi&Lance and Skye in general. Wish they would fix FitzSimmons. Ward is a total psycho and his apologists are, IMHO, creepy: he's a great character but a BAD GUY, regardless of what shaped him. As BB9's Jake Peralta said: "Cool motive. Still murder."

The Flash 105+106: Not as good as the first few episodes. Don't like Barry pining after Iris ALL THE TIME! Buddy, the Cool Detective Dude's definitely not her first boyfriend, she must have had BFs before and you dealt with them - DEAL NOW! You're getting a bit annoying! Love all the Barry centric h/c. Love Barry and Joe's relationship. Love the Cool Detective Dude! Wonder what the Wheelchair Guy is up to.

I unfollowed half of the Twitter accounts in my feed and decided to keep only the entertainment news ones, a few friends and a handful of celebrities whose tweets make me smile, like Linden Ashby's or Hugh Laurie's. I mostly use Twitter for one reason and one reason only: to get info on my favorite shows or movies. And to rant. That's it.

On the TV front?

The latest Agents of SHIELD was pretty cool, especially Simmons' fangirling over ( spoilers! ) That was sweet. Though the next ep will be rough what with ( spoilers! ) But I really adored when Fitz admired ( spoilers! )

Brooklyn Nine-Nine was funny but it pushed my embarrassment buttons a bit too much this week. But I adored that ( spoilers! )

Constantine was... passable. I'll continue watching it but the premiere really didn't bowl me over.

But The Flash did! Gosh, I'm in love with the show. Grant Gustin... wow, just... wow! I adore that everyone is so protective of Barry, literally everyone! Though, what's really creepy is ( spoilers! ) So, SO GOOD!

Another thing: I started craving Stalia again so I've been watching many, many Stalia vids on YT.

I also read two of Josh Lanyon's books, that's why I've been so absent these last few days. I was curled up in a bed, reading. Gosh, "The Boy with the Painful Tattoo" and "The Haunted Heart: Winter" were SO GOOD!

One book I had to drop, though, and that was "Mélusine" by Sarah Monette. Rape, more rape, sexual violence, mind games, suffering on top of suffering... It was rec'd to me because I liked Lynn Flewelling's books but those two authors and their books are like apples and celery!
