I should watch this series again sometime...


EDIT: The thumbnail makes it out to be something, but I promise you, it's not what you're thinking .

I keep telling myself Pretty Little Liars doesn't make any sense, but I caught up with it by watching the six episodes of the latest season that's out so far.

Still need to catch up on Orphan Black. I have two more episodes left of the second season. I just don't enjoy it as much as the first.

Need to catch up on all of Orange Is the New Black's second season as well.

I was worried about that. I've only watched the first season so far, since that's all there is on Amazon Prime Instant Video, and while I was intrigued by the premise and the acting required to pull it off, the actual plotting from episode to episode often seemed contrived and a bit dull. It wasn't bad, but I'm not rushing to watch the second season.

It doesn't help that I recently read The Rook by Daniel O'Malley, which had many of the same plot points re: discovering and assuming the identity of a lookalike, and then consequently getting caught up in a conspiracy.

I think the best part has always been Tatiana Maslany's portrayal of all the clones, but by season 2 you're already used to it as part of the show. I feel that every single plot line has become less interesting.

Well, I'll see how I feel about the remaining episodes.

edit: The end of the season was a bit better, and I'll probably still keep up with it. Hopefully next season will be better though.

Finished the second season of Orange is the New Black. I liked the first season better, but I really liked how the second season ended. Rosa's story was one of my favorites from this season.

Funny, you don't look Dornish...

Also… BLOOPERS!

I love that bloopers video!

I started watching The Strain. I didn't know how to feel when I read it was gonna be like some kind of vampire thing, but it's different from what I was expecting.
First two episodes seemed a little slow, but I'm sure they'll probably get better, since that seems to be a trend with FX shows.

I'm recording WGN's Manhattan tomorrow night. I enjoyed Salem a lot, so hopefully their second series will be good.

I've thought about starting "The Strain", but I wasn't sure if it would be worth reading the books first or not, and after deciding I didn't care to I forgot about looking for it.

I decided to start watching The Vampire Diaries again today. I was halfway through season 2 years ago, but I stopped watching it because I didn't catch up with the episodes and suddenly I was too far behind to bother. I watched seven episodes so far today...

Also been watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I'm only on season 2.

It's difficult to marathon through multiple shows at once.

Buffy didn't really get good until Season 3. Season 1 was too much like the movie, in that it satirized the genre while not yet having a heart of its own, and Season 2 overdid it with the relationship melodrama.
