Okay, gonna try to get back into the swing of posting again, even if it's really short just to get back in the habit. Very short reviews of stuff I got around to watching yesterday.

Person of Interest is back. YAY. I enjoyed that a lot from a season/future plot set up perspective. I also enjoyed having both my Reese ships handed to me on a silver platter with a bow on top.

Sleepy Hollow is ridiculously fun, OMG. Right out of the gate it has me making little flappy hands of squee in so many ways. I think it probably would not work half as well if the leads were not both individually charming as hell and had amazing sparky chemistry off each other (I'm not sure yet if I ship it or just friendship it but either way they are delightful together). Definitely a show I intend to keep watching and possibly/probably get fannish like about.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I am hoping that was a case of massive pilotitis, because. I didn't hate it, I will keep giving it time to find it's feet. But, yeah, I felt kind of let down by it.

I don't know whether it will get better, but given that SHIELD basically deferred everything about the main characters except some teasing at back story (for three out of the six) in favor of a guest character, I think everything will deliver down the line, and they were just trying to set up mysteries without doing an expo dump. Even if it made for a weak pilot.

If I gave up on every series that had a weak pilot there is very few shows I ever would have ended up watching, including some of my favorites. I am down for the premise and there's enough in there that I'm willing to roll with it for awhile until it either finds it's feet (or doesn't). I think a lot of it suffered from high expectations on my part, I was expecting to be WOWED so when I got 'okayish' I was more disappointed than I ordinarily would be with a pilot.
