7 Question Curiousity Poll on New TV Shows, Book REC's and Buffy Comics

[shadowkat]

This is a rough poll - because I'm curious. Tried to add categories for Music that you'd recommend and movies - but there are too many and I'm sadly out of the loop on what is good and what isn't at the moment. Also tried to do a rec list for the tv shows...to see what everyone was watching, but ran out of ticky boxes - so chose not to. If you are so inclined feel free to include "music" and "movie" recs in the comments, along with book and comic book rec's. If not, that's fine too. Please be respectful of other's opinions, even if they seem like insane troll logic. No bashing of people. Also keep in mind it is impossible to edit polls and I'm always going to leave something out. Oh and if you don't know what to answer for a question? Just skip it. I certainly will. Thanks!

Hope more than ten people do this. Always tricky doing polls.

[ETA: Sigh. I don't know where my brain's been lately - no, wait, at work in stress hell..that's where. Re-read the poll and somehow I left off Nikita and No Ordinary Family (two shows I actually watch, and one, Nikita - that I actually adore - even more than Terriers). I also put Mr. Carrol instead of Mr. Norrel for the Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel book option. Sorry about that. Brain is deleting entertainment files as we speak to make room for new database info.]

Nikita is easily the best new show, I've seen.

No comics for me, thanks.

I'd recommend Connie Willis' Doomsday Book. I'm more ambivalent about her latest, Blackout/All Clear.

I agree that Doomsday is better than Blackout/All Clear. I do also like her "To Say Nothing of the Dog"

Agree with you on Nikita. That's surprised me. It's actually much better than all the other versions and by far the closest in tone to the original French film. But for some reason that I can't for the life of me explain - I left it off the list. Maybe I relegated it to last year? Possible. (Shrugs)

Doomsday Book is quite good. Rather enjoyed that last year.
Doesn't she have two sequels to it out? Or is that Blackout/All Clear?

Doomsday, To Say Nothing of the Dog, Blackout and All Clear all exist in the same universe inasmuch as they're all time travelling historians from Oxford and they all report to Mr. Dunworthy. But each novel is a different historian or groups of historians and any overlap is coincidental (for example I'm reading "All Clear" and one of the historians in that remembers that the historians in "To Say Nothing of the Dog" also appear (briefly) during the Blitz. But they're basically all separate stories (except that Blackout and All Clear are really the same book split in half and released as two books).
