• Doctor Who: Not really happy with this season so far, but I have not watched Power of Three yet which is kind of the episode I've been waiting for. Sorta wish they had started with it, but maybe it will somehow make the first 3 clunkers better. I'm looking forward to the new companion. I loved Amy & Rory but...well, it's nice to have two companions who actually WANT to get on with their lives instead of pining for the Doctor. I think that is what annoyed me the most with Rose, Martha, and Donna was how obsessed they became with the Doctor. But he does need a companioin. And I thought Jenna-Louise Coleman was adorable in the "Asylum of the Daleks" episode!


• Teen Wolf: Started this last night and I'm hooked. It's actually a lot better than I expected, especially since it's on MTV. I checked the DVD out from the library but I just checked and it is up on Hulu...so now I don't have the pressure to watch all 12 episodes in 7 days. I like that the main actor isn't classically pretty. He's got a little mole thing on his chin. I think this makes him cuter than the stock pretty-boys, gives him more character.


• Grimm: Season 2 has been awesome, I like it a lot more than Season 1. NOW WHEN THE FRAK DOES IT COME BACK??


• Raising Hope: Just watched the Season 3 premiere on Hulu. So great. I love this shows heart. It's got some immature humor and can be so wrong at times, but it's "morals" are sorta heart-warming. I was hesitant when I saw the plot start to unfold for s3 but by the end of the episode, I was tearing up (or I would have been if my internet wasn't being wonky and making the damn show buffer every few minutes ARGH! Can't tell if it was Hulu or my provider...but I digress.

Waiting anxiously for the return of Community and Happy Endings and the start of the final season (*wipes tear*) of 30 Rock.

Curious about Arrow but mostly because John Barrowman talked about it at D*C. Not sure what to think of Beauty & the Beast except that it will be full of pretty because I've always thought that Kristen Kreuk is gorgeous.

Cautious when it comes to Revolution. I'll wait to see what people are saying after it's been on for a month or so. Anyone have any compelling arguments for why I should watch right now?

Debating if I want to even watch Walking Dead. maybedeadcat said he will watch it so I might just watch by default. I dunno, sorta over it. I hate everyone on that show. Something needs to happen for me to give a crap.

OMG OCT 17 AMERICAN HORROR STORY I HAVE NO WORDS! WELL ONE WORD - AAAAAAAH!

Any other shows people are hearing a buzz about?

Elementary's the big one everybody seems to be talking about, particularly in terms of those who are fans of the BBC or the movie series, because they feel like it's a remake, but I'm of the opinion it's a remake in a long line of remakes, so what's another one? So really, that's one of the shows that's been 'controversial', and frequently talked about as a result.

As with Teen Wolf, I like the lead, but not as much because he's been a little irritating as of late, with circling around his love interest. Granted, since we see the show from his perspective, I realize this is probably why. I'm almost finished season one, but right now, I like Stiles (I think he's almost like me), and Derek, just because he seems to have some funny scenes. ;)

I'm not a big fan of Lucy Lui so it's hard for me to get interested in that show...but maybe if it's really good I will give it a try later on. I dunno...I still need to watch the last BBC Sherlock. I'm not ready for all the FEELS!

I'll keep you posted on my Teen Wolf progress. Not I'm really curious to see what they do to Derek's character since he is far from funny now haha

[impalalove]

Oh, yeah, the BBC version will definitely have the feels. ;)

Derek's kind of the character that you laugh at because he's being completely serious in a funny situation. At least, that's what I think.

Not gonna lie...I'm geeking over Revolution. It is very...Supernatural/Kripke. Aka Siblings. Family is the only thing that matters. Blahblahblah. Plus Bella Swan's Dad is in it and a BAMF which entertains me endlessly.

Also have been enjoying Who, but I always do so... lol. That isn't a good indicator.

Kristen Kreuk is pretty, but I can't stand her acting. That's one of the reasons I couldn't stand watching Smallville.

OMG THAT'S WHO THAT GUY IS?? A;SFJAS;LKFJ

I'm really liking Revolution, but I'm kind of annoyed they never mentioned Kripke in any of the advertising! Or at least any of the advertising I saw. I mean, I guess that J.J. Abrams is so hot right now but still :( It was a really awesome surprise when I saw him in the credits though, lol.

[faeriesfolly.livejournal.com]

lol Yep. Uncle Miles is Charlie Swan.

And his niece is Charlie.

MIND BLOWN.

jk jk

I think the show is just...so OBVIOUSLY Kripke...Most of the stuff I have seen mentions him more than JJ, but then again I haven't watched TV spots or anything.

[lostacanthus.livejournal.com]

OMG

lol

Yeah, I had pretty much only seen TV spots that mention JJ, but I should have just looked online lol. All I had to do was wiki it and Kripke is all over the place! x)

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

WTF I did not know about the Kripke connection, just the JJ Abrams stuff, which scared me away...you make a compelling argument though. We will see if I can fit in a few episodes before everything else starts (though with Doctor Who going on away after next Saturday, I will have some open time).

[faeriesfolly.livejournal.com]

It's like....90% Kripke and 10% JJ

And I don't like JJ so this is saying a lot that I like it. XD

What is the appeal of Teen Wolf? I just see it on tumblr all the time.. and I blacklisted it, lol. TOO MUCH TEEN WOLF. x) I feel like if I did watch it though it'd be something I'd get hooked on haha.

I've missed the last three episodes of DW and still haven't caught up lol. I totally agree with you though about Amy & Rory. I love them, but it's like, let them move on :C Part of the reason why I like Martha a little bit more than Rose and Donna is because yeah, she was really crazy (annoying) about the Doctor in the beginning, but she was the one who made the decision to leave in the end and just went on to be totally badass, and I really liked that.

I think Grimm comes back this Friday! Adlkajfkl

I really liked Revolution. I definitely want to see where it's going. And I watched the pre-air pilot of Elementary. It was kind of slow at first but by the end I was totally hooked! I'm dying waiting for the 27th, even though I've already seen the episode lol.

Hm, I actually can't think of any new shows I'm actively watching. I saw the first eps of The New Normal and Go On which were funny but not something I'll keep up with.

My tumblr is oddly empty of teen wolf, I guess none of the people I follow are in to it. I will be honest - I heard about it because of Mathew and the whole fan movement to slash the two characters and how the actors are totally going along with it. But it's really fun! I've enjoyed what I've seen, I will let you know if it's worth it.

I liked 'Power of Three' but it still fell short for me. Next week is the actual Fall finale and Amy & Rory's finale for reals.

GRIMM YAY!!!!!!!!!!

How obnoxious is Lucy Lui in Elementary? She's my main deterrent.

[lostacanthus.livejournal.com]

Yeah, ive never been that big of a lucy liu fan, but i thought she was really great in elementary! Changed my opinion of her at least x)

Something did happen on Walking Dead. They killed half the cast. But you had given up by that point.
