Random thoughts

Just got back after a long drive (oh A1 you are awful) from Blackpool.  First con in a while and it was good fun. Have so many photos to sort, it was the new camera so I'll see how it (and more importantly me) performed.

Will come back later with some photos and Con tales.

Hey, weren't those first two episodes spiffy? I'd forgotten just how talented Enver is, and how much I love the character of Peggy Carter. I think I am going to like this show,  a lot.

I spotted a fair few Brits in there which is always good. So I made a thing. I may no doubt make some icons too when I get some nice sharp caps.



It's a slightly revised version of my journal header

And I just realized that I made two Thor :The Dark World Wallpapers which I never posted here so I will get those up very soon.

Lookie!  - It's been a while since I posted any art.

I can't wait to see how Ward's story pans out in Season Two.  I will most likely make some more over the next month or so ... Deathlok, Raina et al.  Also Agent Carter really deserves some art, but mine will have to do.

OMG show. What are you trying to do to me? I was all angsty after Capt America : The Winter Soldier, now I'm just all nervous and stuff.

So that latest episode was pretty epic.

I am just loving the whole team right now, but my goodness how awesome and seriously badass is Melinda May?  Another wait before the next episode though. How do they maintain viewing figures with this constant interruption.

Which TV show did you start watching in 2013?
Breaking Bad, Agents of Shield, Sleepy Hollow, Doctor Who, Orphan Black

Which TV show did you let go of in 2013?
Once Upon a Time & Orphan Black

TV shows which ended anyway which meant their mixed quality last seasons didn't make me drop them:
Can you repeat the question?

Which TV show did you mean to get into but didn't in 2013? Why?
Availability issues with Breaking Bad meant I only got as far as S2 Ep2 but what we've seen so far will probably mean adding it to the rental list rather than scrapping for D/loads. I mean it's gripping and it's like watching a train wreck but you can't help yourself.

Which TV show do you intend to check out in 2014?
Sherlock and Doctor Who.  There may be some others. I try hard to watch broadcast stuff these days rather than d/loads.

Which TV show impressed you least in 2013?
Once Upon  A Time - Admittedly I only saw a couple in S3 and couldn't be arsed to d/load the new eps. There is even a possibility we won't get it on Terrestrial in the UK anyway now that C5 has dropped it from it's schedule.  I appreciated the acting in Orphan Black but I couldn't give a damn about the characters so that one went south very quickly.

Which TV show did you enjoy the most in 2013?
Clearly Agents of SHIELD - for pure entertainment value and some potentially awesome characters. Usually there's one character in a new show that I could easily bear to see 'offed' but not this group. I'm actually loving them all for their funny quirky ways. I get pissed at all the bleating around the show and the 'disappointment' from a vocal section of the Whedon fans. I really don't know what they were expecting with a Marvel/Whedonesque show aimed at family viewing but what we're getting is just fine by me. 

- Bold all of the following TV shows of which you've seen 3 or more episodes.
- Italicize a show if you're positive you've seen every episode.
- Asterisk * if you have at least one full season on tape or DVD
- If you want, add up to 3 additional shows (keep the list in alphabetical order).

( List here )

So Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D hits the UK airwaves tonight and I am so excited.

I love the idea of having a new  Whedonverse show to relax and watch on a Friday night - like heralding the beginning of the weekend. I've done my prep by watching all the MCU films (Hulk excluded) beginning with Iron Man right through to IM3 on Wednesday. Not that I need much of an excuse to watch them you understand.  I've also made a few character based wallpapers (they're not that exciting) for AoS which unbelievably I haven't posted here yet.  I've still got to do ones for Fitz & Simmons but I am hoping to get more to work with once I've seen the pilot.

And once the screencap machine gets going I'll do some icons.
