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.]

I had issues with the comics right from the start, but they were never more than mildly amusing/irritating until the Fray arc. With that one, it really struck home to me yet again that what interests Whedon about his 'verse and what interests me are entirely different and I could never be anything but disappointed with how the story panned out. And that has indeed turned out to be the case, though it didn't go completely down the toilet until the Meltzer arc.

I'm afraid I can't help with the TV shows. I've been watching The Event, but I wouldn't recommend it. It's pretty stupid. I also think that Sherlock is very overrated.

My favourite Terry Pratchett is Small Gods. I think it's excellent. Monstrous Regiment is also lots of fun.

I also think that Sherlock is very overrated.

Sigh. So do I. Loved the first episode. The next two? Not so much.
Sherlock was played way too over-the-top. And the writing was a bit of a mess in the next two episodes. But the first one written and directed by Stephen Moffat - was really good. Now if he could just write and direct all of them...(at least I think he directed it). It's not that many...

This is an apt observation I think. And I'm starting to think the same thing. It used to be the reverse, but not so much now - now what interests me and Whedon appear to be very different things.

And thanks for the Prachett recs.
