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.]

Some of the new shows you mentioned might be worthy, but I have only basic basic cable and so can't comment on some and there are some others I haven't seen.

Of the new ones I have, I'm still enjoying No Ordinary Family, although it's a tad slow at times. But the basic premise is being handled far better than I expected it to be, and the characters are likable. Buffy S1 was a bit strange at times too.

The one show I would recommend that people check out started last season, last spring I think-- Human Target. Far, far better than I ever expected-- very intelligent, clever plots within a very old and normally very tired concept. Great, albeit fairly unknown actors taking their roles seriously and not winking at them. Treats its female characters exceptionally well for the genre, and does so pretty much every show. If you're interested, suggest viewing the show from the first eps this season (I assume you can viddy them online, haven't checked.)


Detailed thoughts on BtVS S8 will be forthcoming after #40 is out this January. I'll make a quicky prophecy right now though-- Faith will be the Slayer in Charge at the beginning of Season 9.

Yeah, I forgot to list No Ordinary Family - I've no idea why. Most of the ones I listed I don't watch. (The only ones I watch are Raising Hope, the Event, the recently cancelled Terriers (dang it) and The Walking Dead.)
