arduinna: a tarot-card version of Linus from Peanuts, carrying a lamp as The Hermit (Default)

Last night I watched the 95-minute pilot of Salvage 1, plus 2 hours of The Voice (granted, mostly on fast-forward), plus Sleepy Hollow, plus The Blacklist.

Tonight I've watched Agents of SHIELD and the first 15 minutes of Person of Interest, and just realized I'm running out of posting time if I don't want to break my streak, so have forced myself to pause POI. (There's 2 more hours of The Voice on tap for later, too.)

Famine to feast, man.

The Voice

I'm not cutting this, because it's just auditions at this point and I'm not talking about any of the hopefuls. It was very odd for me tuning in; last season was my first time watching, so I imprinted on Usher and Shakira as the two other judges -- for me, it's weird having Ceelo and Christina, especially with everyone talking about getting the band back together.

The auditions are my favorite part of the show; I love that they're blind, and that everyone has an equal chance. And I'm not invested in anyone yet, so I don't stress out when anyone's on stage. *g*

More auditions later, if I can manage to get to them, woo!

Sleepy Hollow

This continues to be fun! For something where they're potentially setting up a seven-season run, they're not dilly-dallying about getting things going. And that was some fast thinking on Ichabod's part, using the truth as a cover for who he is and why he's around. (I saw someone point out that 5 seconds of Googling would prove him wrong, but *handwave*. There's a headless guy thundering around on a demonic white horse, and a dead witch reconstituting herself with ashes and a skeleton. Google, schmoogle.)

I'm really glad that John Cho is still around, even though he's kinda freaky, and I like that Abbie hasn't lost her mentor-dad-sheriff completely; it would suck if Ichabod was the only one having vaguely comforting visions in the midst of all the really freaky scary visions. (They film those ridiculously well; that demon dude freaks me out every time.)

And HAH Jennifer is Sarah Connor! \o/ That is totally awesome. I think I actually laughed and clapped my hands when I saw that.

Agents of SHIELD

Oh, nice job of weaving this into movie continuity -- no surprise there, but still. Although ack, is Coulson a robot? I don't want him to actually be a robot!

*looks at clock*

Okay, faster commentary than I'd planned: I had a lot of fun with this. Loved seeing Gunn('s actor), especially, and grinned like a loon when Coulson injected the agent dude with the truth serum. Heh. And Ming-Na Wen is always fantastic.

I'm actually a little iffy on the hovercar, to my surprise; I think I wanted it to be more like one of Al Calavicci's souped-up cars that just went VERY FAST. It sounds bizarre, but the hover-jet-i-ness of it pushed my suspension of disbelief too far.

Argh too close to midnight, must post. Yay new tv!
