On another subject: TV
1. Is anyone watching Scandal? I've only seen the first two episodes, but I found it entertaining. I don't think it's particularly GOOD tv, but I have this thing for the kind of things they do (sneaking onto crime scenes! Protecting madames who are grandmas!). The only sour note is the eye-roll-worthy "OMG OLIVIA LOVES THE PRESIDENT AND SHE IS HIS TRU LUV" and the attendant "she can't resist him" nonsense.
2. I watched the second and third seasons of Wish Me Luck. I liked them both, but they were very different from each other. The second continued where the first left off, but the third deviated and went to a different plot-line. And at the end, Liz got to be Christine Granville for a bit (and Miss Ashley continued to be Vera Atkins). I do think the third focused more on the male characters than the first two did--and I didn't enjoy that as much, but I also preferred it to one of the plot-lines from the second series which was baffling in its stupidity (and I don't normally dislike female characters, but I kept wanting to slap Vivian during the second season.)
3. Revenge--er, I haven't seen last night yet. But I've seen last week. AND I HAD FORGOTTEN HOW MUCH I MISSED IT. Show, never go away for that long again, please. Though, erm, one of the new plotlines felt rather shoe-horned in. (I just looked James Purefoy up. Suddenly, the reason for my urge to punch him in the face when he appeared is explained. I hated him in Resident Evil)
4. WHAT am I going to do once the last episode (of series two) of Scott and Bailey airs next week? This show is amazing and ridiculous, and I love it so. Every week, I sort of make gleeful noises as the credits roll. (RACHEL AND JANET AND GILL, HOW ARE YOU ALL SO AMAZING?) Also, I love that half the significant conversations occur in bathrooms and hallways and stairwells. eta: also, 2x7 had Melody Pond meeting Idris. hahahah.
5. Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries continues to be somewhat entertaining, if sometimes a little... uncomfortable in the way it treats the ~Orient~. I continue to miss Mac deeply.
6. My thoughts on the new season of Eureka are... spoilery. I'll have to make a different post at some point.
7. I'm two episodes behind on Missing, Person of Interest is still on hiatus (I think?), and I think that might be all of the currently-airing TV I watch. Hrm. (Leverage will be back July 15th, according to TNT's site. HURRAH)
