Whoa, I kind of disappeared for a bit there, didn't I? The weather has been so nice, though a touch on the warm side for May, but we have been taking full advantage of it with lots of walks and run and such. Which means I am exhausted after dinner and tend to just veg until I drag my body to the bedroom. So I am behind on LJ for the past few days.
I did see Avengers which was AWESOME! I had to go by myself because my friend's dad had a pinched nerve so he had to back out and Tim had to work. But I was like "SCREW THIS I WANT TO SEE IT NOW!" and went alone. Except I wasn't alone because the theater was packed. (also, thank goodness I did see it because my tumblr dash was FULL OF SPOILERS when I got home...wtf tumblr). I will post more coherent thoughts later.
I just caught up on Orphan Black and I have to say I am feeling...underwhelmed. I'm just not pulled in to all the stories. Maybe there is just too much going on. I dunno, I'm just not excited for new episodes like I am for my other shows.
We have watched a LOT of iZombie which I am really enjoying, though switching between that and Daredevil really highlights the differences and issues with network tv vs streaming shows. iZombie has to waste a lot of time each episode re-explaining the main plot of the series, even though it is right there in the opening, they feel compelled to mention her backstory a lot. Where as if you start an episode of Daredevil it's like BAM! Maybe if CW was less stingy with the streaming and left shows up on Hulu longer they wouldn't have to worry about people being unable to catch up. The show is still fun but it means it can only move so fast.
I saw an article on Digg that said binge watching was on the way out, saying the bulk series drops, ala Netflix, were bad for television and hurt the community/fandom because there was no set time to watch. I stream all my entertainment and I don't see that changing any time soon though I find I don't binge watch as much. We will watch 2 episodes in a row if we are hooked on a show but that about it. I did tear through Hannibal very quickly but I sort of regret it now because not taking time between episodes I think hurt my memory of the show overall so that it all runs together instead of existing as episodes. I'm curious to see how I feel when watching it air in June, week to week.
GTG Dinner time! (late dinner, Tim just got home and I was being nice and waiting lol)
