Catching up on T.V.

[impala_chick]

↠iZombie is finally on netflix and 5x03 was absolutely a delight! Now I understand why that episode got such high reviews. I love a good dance montage, but all the teamwork was excellent as well. Now I need to know why the murder wasn't solved! Also I'm really loving Peyton as defacto mayor. And Major is back to being soft and conflicted, which is what I always liked about him.

↠It's September and you know what that means? I'm in the mood for some good horror! I watched Insidious and it was not as good as the Conjuring, but there was one jump scare that totally got me. The plot left a bunch to be desired but there were plenty of beautiful/creepy vibes. Any recommendations for films on Netflix?

↠I'm caught up on Are You Having a Draft and Gameweek 6 had this little gem.

Bradley: And Kane...
Marcus: Your boyfriend?
Bradley: haha Lucky me.

Must be an inside joke. I promise I'm not reading too much into that...

↠We've been binging Lucifer like crazy. Very stereotypical plotlines but Tom Ellis is absolutely brilliant at being wicked. I love his accent and the show has made me laugh out loud a bunch of times already. It's good to have a feel-good low-stakes show.

↠I'm on 3x06 of 13 Reasons Why. Yay for cute Clay x Justin scenes! That part where Clay comes home and says they need a picture of Justin absolutely broke my heart.

I thought because they were holding off on focusing on Tony, he was going to know more about the murder. They are quickly running out of suspects. I'm really starting to suspect Ani because she's been acting really shady. Why is she so keen to gather evidence?

I'm still not sure how I feel about all of the Bryce backstory. The show has always been about making the audience understand "bad" choices, but I'm not sure what point they are making. I really thought they'd be focusing more on the murderer's reasons instead of Bryce's reasons for being a jackass.

The Conjuring was brilliant! I totally don't like horror movies but that, Shutter Island, and A Quiet Place were all great. Maybe I like horror more than I think.

Anyway, I was commenting to say that I may or may not be working on a BoB fic that's similar to The Conjuring. ;) Hoping to finish it for Halloween, though there's still a lot of ground to cover!

[impala_chick]

Oh I liked Shutter Island too! I haven't seen A Quiet Place yet. They could all probably fit in the horror/psychological thriller category rather than the slasher category, which I think most of us think of when we think of horror.

Fun!!! Ron was so great in The Conjuring so I can totally see a BoB-AU! I hope you get to finish it, because it's the perfect time of year for that kind of fic :D

[kunstarschloch]

Yeah, that's true- it's slashers I don't like. Psychological horror is fantastic when done right.

I'm hoping to! I've been a bit burned out on BoB, tbh, but I think I can get myself excited about it again if I rewatch The Conjuring.

[impala_chick]

Yeah I can understand that. I'm feeling that way about the MCU. But I wholeheartedly support a reason to rewatch The Conjuring!

[kunstarschloch]

Haha, I think everyone's burned out on MCU. I was burned out on it in 2013. But yeah, I definitely want to rewatch--hopefully I can squeeze it in before I cancel my internet and Netflix. (My internet plan went up $20 and I can't afford it, but I live on a campus with wi-fi everywhere, so I will survive lol)

Honestly, I think quite a lot of people have thought that kind of thing about the focus on Bryce. I won't spoil anything but I didn't think the season was anything Like I'd expected.

[impala_chick]

Oh man, I'm at the edge of my seat waiting to see how this ends. We'll have to chat about it after I finish!
