The Blogification Of My Fandom Fixations
As interests tend to vary so will my posts, and so welcome to Fortnightly Fixations, in which I intend to post about whatever fandom has tickled my fancy over the past two weeks. Whatever may pop up that week, I hope for it to be an interesting read, and I hope you will join me as I dive into whichever TV Show or Film may peak my interest that fortnight.
These posts may range from an update on what I’m currently watching, to an in depth review of something I recently finished. I’ll be sure to tag for spoilers, and give you a warning as they come, but this blog is likely to be far from spoiler free at most turns.
New Posts will come every other Friday.
It’s been a slow week. I have stuff lined up to write, stuff I want to watch, stuff I need to watch… and none of it feels right at the moment. None of it is hitting that spot, ya know?
So, where do we turn? Somewhere new and classic all at the same time.
Happy New Year, guys! I hope you had a good holidays and will have a good New Year.
We are starting the blog off strong this year with a brief look at the Christmas Specials, because to my disappointment I’ve not actually watched much of anything else since last I posted. So, into this we go!
It’s Christmas! Well, it’s the festive season, and very nearly Christmas.
I rewatch this Trilogy almost every year for the fun of it, and their sweet, and pretty, and more so a just cute little Christmas movie that’s calming. There’s no real threat there, nothing to leave you biting your fingers. They’re easy Christmas viewing. I don’t do easy very often, but I do enjoy this Trilogy enough to revisit it each year.
Look, I cannot be deemed responsible for the Specials featuring David Tennant’s return to the role of The Doctor coming out at the same time I was trying to finish Blindspot. So, no, I did not finish Blindspot this past two weeks. I did, however, with unbelievable amounts of commitment, finally, much to some of my friends and family’s glee, catch up on, Doctor Who.
Look, It’s only been a week.
Yes, we’re still on Blindspot.
There was absolutely no way I was going to finish the over two full seasons worth of episodes I had to watch before I had to write another post. If I could hibernate and just watch episodes without ever having to leave my room or socialise, perhaps I could’ve, I, however, have stuff to do, unfortunately.
So, we’re trying something new. I know. Scary, but sometimes you have to mix things up.
The intent here? They’re still part of the FF post schedule, same tab, same category. The point is brevity. If it’s a new show, you’ll get the usual boring bits, and after that it’s just, as the name implies, a catch up. The explorations of a show to come when I’ve finished it.
So, let’s dive in.
I think we’ve well established on here that I quite love this show, it is certainly the current fixation and taking up most of my brain space.
I have watched it numerous times with love. I have a particular love for a one Emma Swan, and just as great a love for her endgame pairing with Killian Jones, so let’s take a look at CaptainSwan, shall we?
Look, let’s not sugar coat this one, I adore this show. The tiny little webseries that could, and it has taken my gay heart by storm. It has been rewatched numerous times, to a degree that I have developed such an ability to passive watch it I can get work done while it plays, and generally speaking, multitasking is not one of my best skills.
It never ceases to be a favourite, and I never seem to get bored of it. I love the romance, the lesbians, the love, and the demonic creatures from the depths of hell. It’s all part of the meal, and it is a fantastic one at that.
In short, I was hooked.
And Season 2, in it’s devastating rom-com glory only solidified that.
So while Good Omens remains a somewhat new addition to the endless, and ever-expanding list, of fandoms I find myself in, it is one that I have greatly enjoyed, and now litters all the social media on which I choose to doom scroll. You just can’t escape the ineffable husbands. The book is now on my TBR, which is just as long a list.
The beginning of a journey, and it starts with Bones!
When I started this show, it didn’t take long for my attention to be hooked, and before I knew it I was binging a season in a weekend and deeply invested in the lives of characters I’d only met in passing til now.
This show has Crime, Love and Family, and what more could you want from a procedural like this?
So without further adieu, let’s take a deep dive into this show I have loved so much!
