Lords of Kobol, hear my prayer...

Which TV shows did you start watching in 2011?
Once Upon A Time, The Fades, The Vampire Diaries, Revenge, Ringer, Falling Skies, The Borgias, Case Histories, Game of Thrones, Doctor Who (once again)

Which TV shows did you let go of in 2011?
The only one that comes to mind is Supernatural, though that was a long time in the making really. I started losing interest last year/season and I guess this year finalized my departure of the whole thing altogether, for my own sanity. I find myself retreating to better, healthier things that doesn't end up in getting migraines from being enraged more often than I should be getting from the stupidity that is coming out from that show.

Which TV shows did you mean to get into but didn't in 2011? Why?
There's quite a handful actually, and the only excuse is that I'm kinda lazy and haven't gotten around to it yet. This explains why I am also behind on some of the shows I am currently watching as well.

Which TV shows do you intend on checking out in 2012?
This coincides with the question above. I'm definitely going to be checking out American Horror Story, since I've been hearing good things about it. Lost Girl, Downtown Abbey, Terra Nova, Homeland, Modern Family.....just a shitload of things I've been meaning to get around to checking out but haven't yet. As for new shows that will be premiering in 2012, Awake with Jason Isaacs, because you know that shit is going to be fucking amazing. Like, my body is already ready for it, you have no idea.

Which TV show do you think you might let go of in 2012 unless things significantly improve?
Nothing really comes to mind, to be honest.

Which TV show impressed you least in 2011?
Glee. Now let me explain, I've never been impressed with Glee. I tried watching it before and it wasn't what I expected it to be, so I dropped it, and never watched an entire episode since. Of course my interest peaked because of two things: Santana Lopez and Brittana. I've been keeping tabs on the show mostly for those things. Unfortunately, the show has not delivered on that front. It shouldn't be surprising, given that this is Glee we're talking about, but I think I've been least impressed with their handling of Santana's storyline (it could have been better without Finn getting away with his asshole behavior while Santana has suffer the consequences for everything) and not having anything Brittana whatsoever. I guess that kinda counts since while I don't watch the show, I am very invested in their storylines and when a show doesn't give a shit about decent character storylines (or potentially amazing storylines if they put in the effort in creating one) it offends me.

Other than that, there really hasn't been any other show that has impressed me the least this year. Excluding SPN because that's a given anyway.

Which TV shows do you think you'll never let go of no matter how crappy they get?
Oh, that's kind of hard. I would stop watching anything if they got overbearingly crappy, but I'd say Doctor Who, Haven, Once Upon A Time, and Warehouse 13. They are my feel-good, happy-times kind of shows that are ridiculous and heartfelt and make me smile. Unless they cross the line into irredeemable crappiness, I will never stop watching them.

Day 29 - Current TV show obsession

Right now it's a tie between Supernatural and Legend of the Seeker.

Supernatural I've been with for the last four seasons now, from the second season which is where I first started watching the show. Although some may know that I'm still kind of torn on where I stand about the show as of right now and my opinions about the direction it's taking. That may change when the new season starts, I don't know. And of course I immediately was hooked onto Legend of the Seeker which has been my recent newest obsession. I consider LOTS to be something that gives me what some shows haven't done lately, which is that feeling of satisfactory fulfillment with the story and the characters and a great kind of escapism. Of course, I've already gushed about the show before and probably will continue to do so in the future, but yeah. Those are my current television obsessions as of right now. Things are most likely to change though depending, since my obsessions and objectives change constantly. Especially with all the other shows I have on my queue, it's only a matter of time before another new obsession kicks in.

Runner Up: Caprica. While I do love the show so far it's taking far too long to finish the first season due to this unnecessary midseason hiatus. So I really can't say it's an obsession yet, but it's getting there.

Day 27 - Best pilot episode

( Teenage cyborg protectors, the human race on the run from their machine creations, those just trying to get by out in the black, and a post-apocalyptic future where electromagnetic pulses aren't really caused by the Stonehenge... )

Um, so apparently Joss Whedon and J.J. Abrams are going to be sharing a panel together at Comic Con? This is what happens when fandom S'PLODES WITH FANGASMS. This, I think, is going to be the most explosive panel. I have to look through what the other guests are for all the other days but, seriously, who can't wait to see what comes from this panel with them? :D Oh, and it seems that Fred Phelps and his craycray religious followers are going to be protesting at Comic Con this year because of us heathens "idolizing comic book characters" instead of God. The shenanigans from this is gonna be gold!

Also, Nathan Fillion tweeted this with the cryptic message: "together again." WHAT DOES THIS MEAN YOU GUYS?! OH NATHAN YOU BIG TEASE.

Day 25 - A show you plan on watching (old or new)

Right now all my major shows are on hiatus or it seems like they might be in their last season come this next seasonal run (or that I might consider leaving if things turn to shit...), and it's kind of sad that I don't have enough to watch these days. So I'm definitely looking for other shows to watch and I've had some on a list already that I've been meaning to check out.

( Forgive me, I have quite a few that's on my queue... )

Other shows include: Community, which is a new show that I've seen people rave about, Band of Brothers and Jericho and mostly that's because Richard Speight Jr. is in them, and I plan on watching everything he was in for the sake of it, lol. Nevertheless I've heard great things about both shows, so I'll certainly be looking forward to testing them out. I've also been meaning to watch Deadwood, too. Oh, and Merlin, since post-Legend of the Seeker I need to fill that fantasy-based void, you know?

Wow, that's a lot of shows right there. I didn't realize how much I wanted to see until I wrote it all out, heh. And hey, if anyone else has any other recommendations, feel free to drop them by. I'm willing to give anything a chance if it strikes my interest.

Day 23 - Most annoying character

There are plenty of characters that I find annoying in almost all my fandoms, so it really depends. There are certain characters that are annoying mostly due to how a particular actor portrays them, or how they're written, sometimes even both. Sometimes it's not even a character I dislike, it can just be the direction the writers chose for a season or storyline or whatever. And honestly, it would take forever to really list the names of characters that I found the most annoying in all these fandoms that I have, so I'll just leave it at this because it could turn into a huge ranting post if I did. Besides, if you know me and are familiar with my opinions on certain fandoms, I'm sure y'all know which characters I find irritating and annoying, so I really don't need to get into that today. *g*

Okay, everyone knows that I don't do spoilers unless my curiosity gets the better of me and I seek them out myself. Well, there's been one particular spoiler that I couldn't avoid.

( Possible spoilers for SPN S6 )

Other than that, I've been rewatching the first season Dark Angel, because it's been forever since I've watched it and I suddenly had an itching to view it again. I think it's interesting how many people now have started watching it from the second season rather than the first all because of Jensen Ackles. Which yeah, he was great in it, but I prefer the first season much better since I think it flowed more smoothly, mythology-wise. The second season introduced many new elements that were hardly finished, and it leaves me wondering had they not been canceled would those mysteries be resolved? I think the first season was simple enough that it had a mythology element that wasn't too complicated, but it was just right to keep you intrigued in what was going on. Also, as a personal observation, Jessica Alba seemed happier and healthier during the first season.

That's just my own take on it, anyway. Love the show as a whole, but the first season really remains my favorite due to that.
