I'm experimenting with the crossposting from LJ business. Don't get excited and change your settings just yet.
1) The hockey team won. This excites me far more than it excites any of you. 'sokay. But I wish they'd stop referencing 1994, no matter how coinkidink things look.
2) Television upfronts are this week, so there will be lists of shows you can't imagine got greenlit as well as the various cancellation announcements. We knew Awake was too high-concept to last, but I still look forward to catching up on it on Netflix. Can't say I'm too surprised about the rest. New stuff that could be interesting or awful or both:
Do No Harm: A Jeckyl-and-Hyde iteration where the do-gooder brilliant surgeon's got a split personality that's reawakening and not nearly as philanthropic. I'm pretty sure this was once a Stephen King story; if it wasn't, it should have been.
The Following, which looks right up in my wheelhouse -- Kevin Bacon as a burned-out FBI agent who caught a serial killer, James Purefoy, who has escaped and is cultivating a network of proteges. This is what Natalie Zea left Justified for.
Speaking of too-high-concept-to-live, we have Revolution, a dystopian future where electricity no longer works. There are swords and crossbows.
Last Resort, in which Andre Braugher takes his US Navy submarine, parks it on a NATO-hosting island, and declares it a sovereign nuclear-armed nation. Hijinx ensue.
3) Watched a few episodes of Breakout Kings. I cannot say I am enthralled; it's very much freak of the week, not everyone has a useful function, and they clearly have borrowed the Time Lord's phone box to get all of the places they get to in the time they get there in. Also, the chick they brought in after the pilot is the biggest Mary Sue to ever Mary Sue.
I still very much like Detroit 187, although that, too, Went Too Soon. The old 1980s GI Joe cartoon is streaming on Netflix. I'm having a little more fun with that than I should.
4) Anyone want to hook me up with Avengers fic recs? Any flavor.
I cannot poll on either DW or LJ, so you'll have to chime in via comments if you either have Major Issues with the crossposting or would like to register a vote whether I do it permanently.
