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 totally hear you re: Agents of SHIELD; it didn't wow me. On the other hand, when I think about how MUCH the pilot has to try to do -- situate the show within existing canon, introduce a lot of characters both major and supporting, establish the parameters for lab-made superheroes, etc. -- I think it makes sense that a lot of the ep felt like "Watch us put all the chess pieces on the board!" It's the problem of trying to set up a show that is complex right out of the box. By contrast, shows that are focused on one or two characters, or shows that start relatively low-stakes and accumulate meaning over time, don't require the pilot to do nearly as much work.

So I remain hopeful. :D

I remain hopeful with you! And it did have a lot of heavy lifting to do as far as pilots go. I can't see me not giving it out at least this whole season.
