It's October, and quite warm

Several years later, I've finally changed the link in my layout to go to my pinboard instead of my totally defunct delicious account! ( https://pinboard.in/u:healingmirth )

I'm a fair bit more active at bookmarking recs there than I am at posting to my journal, because the pindroid app for android is my faaaaaavorite.

Which reminds me, I really should go through my AO3 bookmarks at some point, because wow, did I fall out of the habit of clicking that button.

And because this is OTW membership drive...month? Period of time. I had forgotten until recently that sorting by kudos on the archive didn't used to be possible, and that is probably my most-used feature now, particularly in new fandoms. So, thanks, AO3 coders who will never read this, for continuing to develop the archive instead of... not.

This week's TV, slightly delayed

On the one hand, I enjoy the slow start to the NHL season rather than last years post-lockout GAMES FOR EVERYONE launch, but we're about done with day two and I haven't cared at all about any of the games. And then tomorrow, when I've got plans for the evening, there's New Jersey/Pittsburgh *and* LA/Minnesota *and* Rangers/Phoenix. Argh

If you're not yet watching Brooklyn 99 and you enjoyed The Unusuals, I think that's my best reference for what I like about it - they hit a lot of the same notes. On its own merits, it's got a cast that's more or less representative of actual New York, allowing for the part where they're all really clearly defined characters in a sitcom. Highly quotable, well-shot. Love the credits. I really do love the credits. I never know what to say about comedies without attempting to write an actual essay that's beyond my abilities for media analysis, but it's just really funny, solid television and I hope it does well.

SHIELD seems to have made the transition from Pilot to SyFy original movie.

( maybe wait until episode five before launching off to another country. )

Lucky 7 on the other hand. I absolutely liked the first episode more than the second, but that's a predictable effect of how much I liked the first episode.

( more disjointed thoughts )

And then there's Ironside.

I realized about halfway through the opening sequence that what I want in the midst of the Edge of the Law detective schtick is a conscious exploration of how that would intersect with the media cliche of the inspiring person with disabilities. Which... maybe happened.

( now I'm really wishing I'd seen Blair Underwood's Streetcar instead of Joe Manganiello's )

Geez, and I've still got The Blacklist and Sleepy Hollow from this week. Argh, fall. That'll teach me to leave the house during prime time.
