The Blogification Of My Fandom Fixations
One year ago today the first post went up on this blog and it has been a learning curve since but when I am very glad I started.
It feels right that something should be done for the occasion but I wasn’t really sure what I was going to post to commemorate it.
To that point, I’ve got some announcements.
It’s that time of the week again which means I am a little late on a post, but at least it’s here before the weekend, and we get to dive into what I’ve been up to this week. Which, as those caught up will notice is not consistent with where we were last. Do not fret, it has not been abandoned.
Look. It’s not a common trend, but it’s a trend irritating enough to bug me nonetheless.
Some shows focus a lot around keeping a secret. Whether it’s for protection, out of fear, a necessity. The secret is there. They will dedicate whole episodes to reinforcing that this secret is necessary, construct season long arcs around ensuring it’s security.
All I’m saying, is that said secret should not be revealed IN THE SERIES FINALE.
The first episode of Carmilla dropped ten years ago today and so I give you this post in celebration. As is only right for a show that has meant so much to me.
What a week! It has taken a minute, but would you believe we are moving on? Finally something new has completely caught my attention.
So, though I am a little late, lets dive in to this new fixation with Castle.
I’d seen clips occasionally as my socials took me deeper and deeper into this very deep and vast fandom, but did not find out where they came from until I was researching for my last post… and well, I wouldn’t say I’m disappointed.
This past week I have… tried to watch things, I have.
There’s been things. Attempts… but, I have an occupied brain space, so getting into something else is yet to happen.
In between debating whether or not to watch Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. again, I have at least watched a few episodes of some other things so let’s talk about those, shall we? If only very briefly.
Last week, it would’ve been another Catch-Up post but in a completely not shocking turn of events I did finish the whole series in the last week, so you get this instead. It’s not nearly everything I could possibly say about this show I love so much… but it’s a little something. Something that would’ve probably appeared in the Catch-Up but as we’re done, why not do it justice?
Short, sweet and a bit of a ramble.
