that fandom meme 2013

[orangerful]

Yeah, it's that meme that has been going around and as bittertwee is being held hostage by Amtrak at the moment, I'm going to do this to kill time. :)





Which TV shows did you start watching in 2013?
Justified, Sleepy Hollow, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Archer, Legend of Korra, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and, most importantly, ADVENTURE TIME come on grab your friends

Which TV shows did you let go of in 2013?
I tried to let go of Walking Dead but maybedeadcat wanted to watch it for work so I suffered through it. But otherwise that would have been kicked to the curb two years ago.

Which TV shows did you mean to get into but didn't in 2013? Why? House of Cards, Orange is the New Black...pretty much all the Netflix stuff that I just kept meaning to check out but I was so backed up on my other shows, I never did. Oh, and Arrow, had to wait for Netflix to get Season 1 since stupid CW doesn't do Hulu for more than a few episodes!!!

Which TV shows do you intend on checking out in 2014? The rest of Sleepy Hollow! We stalled about 4-5 episodes in and that is where most of the online reviews are saying it starts to come together.

Which TV show impressed you least in 2013? Was a bit disappointed with S.H.I.E.L.D. but I feel like it is improving slowly. New Girl has also been all over the place, the characters turning into caricatures too often. Walking Dead...because nothing ever happens. Legend of Korra was also nowhere near as interesting as last season.

Which TV show do you think you might let go of in 2014 unless things significantly improve? Grimm - I feel like this show is sorta spinning it's wheels and as much as I love Monroe/Rosalie, the rest of the plot seems to have just gone monster-of-the-week.

Which TV shows do you think you'll never let go of no matter how crappy they get? Why? Once Upon a Time - it seems to be on this cycle of awesome - stupid - annoying - WTF! - awesome -> so it's hard to leave it behind.
Doctor Who has also been less than impressive these past two seasons but I'm curious about Capaldi and want to give him a chance.

Which TV show did you enjoy the most in 2013?
Game of Thrones, American Horror Story: Coven, Adventure Time, Archer, Gdgd Fairies (weird anime we found on CrunchyRoll).

JUSTIFIED!!

I'm still watching S.H.I.E.L.D. and Sleepy Hollow - they're entertaining enough although I'm not highly invested in them

I have watched the first couple episode of Orange is the New Black and found it enjoyable enough and I like so many female characters. I also find it amusing to picture Captain Janeway as a Russian convict.

Yeah, I agree with you, I don't really have any "feels" for SHIELD or Sleepy Hollow. Justified on the other hand...how can one not have feels for Timothy Olyphant? Plus, good story, I totally watch for the plot and that sexy sly smile.

I still haven't watched S.H.I.E.L.D. yet, I guess it was because I read so many mixed things on it that were all over the place. Sleepy Hollow though was surprising, that's really turning out to be a good show. Now if I can just catch up on it lol.

My friend said she will wait for SHIELD to be on DVD so she can just watch it all at once and I think that might be a safe bet. The later episodes have been stronger BUT I watched them all in one evening, and I think marathon viewing really alters how you enjoy a show. And I really feel like it's building up to *something*...I just don't know what yet.

*laughs* Agreed with you on OUAT's 'cycle'.

If the mid-season breaks/finales weren't always so "WTF!" I would probably leave it behind but they always set something up and I *have* to find out where they are going with it all. :)
