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.]

Was ambivalent about the comics from issue 1 - esp because of Warren. And the castle. And the outfits. And the GAPS! Oh Lord, all the gaps! - and when we discovered how he was rescued (Joss: Oops, I forgot he was dead dead!), I realised that the comics would probably never be remotely what I wanted, plus it was all so... unengaging. This was only confirmed with the Faith arc (She's on a mission to kill? Wtf? And she and Buffy are fighting like S7 never happened?). Then of course came the bankrobbing reveal and I knew for sure that this person walking around pretending to be Buffy could never ever be her. Kept reading out of curiosity until 'Swell' at which point it stopped being funny and was just awful. Wouldn't have picked them up again if it hadn't been for that essay.

ETA: Re. the Spike comics, then I generally like them but probably won't get the latest one thanks to the change of artist.

Stephen Mooney may be better than Zanni...or so I hope. At least his cover for issue 5 isn't bad.
