tv ramblings and other stuff

[orangerful]

Finally watched the premiere of American Horror Story: Hotel and I was...underwhelmed. I don't think 90 minute was necessary, or at least they didn't make good use of their time because I did spend a good portion of the episode wondering how much longer until it was over. This already feels a lot like Asylum to me; too much going on, not enough focus on plot, too much focus on being "edgy" (and by edgy I mean disgusting)

I had seen this article while browsing online but had not read it, but as soon as I saw the episode, I knew exactly which scene the writer was going to talk about. After the Hannibal-like murder scene, the audience was warned that something awful would happen and to have this creature raping someone with a silver unicorn horn dildo...I just...that's not horror to me. That's just being disgusting.

I'll give it a few more episodes. I feel like maybe I should just skip every other episode...except Wes Bentley is so nice to look at...maybe I'll just watch until something bad happens to him.


Also finished Broadchurch Season 2 and OMG WHAT A SHOW!!!!! I doubted they could even do a second season but it blew me away. I can't decide if I want a Season 3 or not...I'm worried they will eventually take it all too far. Plus, I sort of want everyone to get on with their lives now.

Caught up on iZombie tonight, which is off to an okay start.
I am SO glad that Liv is not hiding her zombie-ness anymore. Though I am still annoyed that the show still seems to be about her eating brains and acting weird. Major's storyline (well, him taking the Utopia) makes me think of Reilly in Season 5 of Buffy...which doesn't bode well for Major.


Apparently, tomorrow the new Star Wars trailer is going to air during the football game. My geeky Star Wars friends are already complaining about having to watch some random game LOL. Alas, I'll wait until it is up on YouTube...or maybe I will avoid it and stay totally spoiler free. (Like that is possible, the poster came out today and it was on in my Facebook feed about 10 times, sheesh!)

And for those of you that don't watch TV, here is my magical wedding band that glows in the DARK! I know you are impressed!

That is so awesome that the ring glows in the dark!

Really wish they had gone in a different direction with Major's storyline and wish they would stop heaping misery on him.

Very cool ring!

that ring is pretty!!

I feel like Broadchurch ended really well, so I'm not sure it even needs a season three.

That ring is just so pretty :)

Yeah, I have heard about that scene in AHS, and while I haven't seen it, I think that was gratuitous and all just for spectacle :/

I hope Broadchurch season 3 is Hardy and Miller tackling a completely different case because I love those two together and don't think we need to focus on any of the other characters at this point.

I feel like the two episodes of iZombie s2 so far have been using the whole Liv takes on personalities thing much further than last season, so I hope they dial it back a bit in the upcoming episodes.

I'm sure the trailer will be up online not long after it airs. It's not like they need it to boost football ratings.

Y'know I never thought about what I want in a wedding ring (apart from being inexpensive), but now I need to add "glows in the dark" to my list XD

Agreed about Broadchurch. I assumed there would be a completely new case but S2 was tied closely to S1. I could see a S3 assuming they took things in a new direction but I'd rather they only do so if they had an equally good story.

Your ring is awesome! I love that it glows in the dark!

Awww~, shiny! :-)

I've never watched AHS, but apparently Matt Bomer is in this season looking even sexier than usual. Are there any gifsets? I've only seen one muggle pic.

Ugh, I'm not about that scene in AHS:Hotel :( I haven't seen any of it yet so thanks for the head's up on that!

I'm still keeping up with iZombie, and I'm not digging Major at all. I miss Lowell, if I'm being perfectly honest.

I thought Broadchurch S2 was great too! I was surprised at how well it worked. I'm curious to see what they'll do with the next one.

That ring is so cool!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Wow! If I ever have a ring, I totally want a glow in the dark one. That rocks! :D

[midnightwhisper.livejournal.com]

Your wedding band is so freakin' cool!

I really enjoyed the premiere of AHS:H, I lost interest in Freak Show and never finished it, but this looks to be more my kind of show ... hahahah I was pleasantly surprised by Lady Gaga's character and performance, I felt she did very well! I've seen her acting in Machete Kills, and there it just feels like she's being Lady Gaga in an elaborate music video. I was worried this would be more of that, but I think she did a better job here xD

I'm not that into Star Wars, but I've watched the trailer, and it looks really good!! Aaah xD;;;

I think I commented on Instagram as well, but you'r ring! Yessss I really like it! :DDDD

That ring is baller.
