New Obsession
May. 1st, 2012 07:04 pmWell, of a sort. I've basically promised myself not to get obsessed with things anymore, because it doesn't end well and I don't have the time to devote. But it doesn't mean I can't really like something!
About a month ago I got into watching Alcatraz and thought, 'hey, this is a pretty good show. It's got a good cast. The plot is interesting enough. And it's JJ Abrams. I'll give him one more chance.' And then I finished the 13 episodes and promptly said 'what the hell am I going to watch now?'
And someone told me about Person of Interest. Alcatraz was fun and Fringe was pissing me off, so I thought I'd give it a go. After all, JJ Abrams can't do worse than he's already done to destroy my psyche. Blessedly, that seems to be holding true. I've got through 20 episodes (the season is nearly over now) and I have to say that I'm really enjoying it. It's a fresh (by which I mean, fresh to tv land) idea and scarily true and really well written. I enjoy shows where lots of stuff blows up, mostly people just get shot in the knees (not always) and there's great banter. I've rather missed that on television in fact.
I think half the reason I'm enjoying it is seeing Michael Emerson play someone who is not trying to KILL EVERYONE EVERY SECOND OF THE EPISODE. It's a nice change. He does mysterious nice guy pretty well.
The other half of the reason is definitely Jim Caviezel, because he may be a 15 years older than me (and married), but I'm not blind ladies. Not even remotely. I like a man who knows how to handle a gun. :D
I'm already thinking that 'Baby Blue' is my favourite episode, for the hilarity and cuteness factor. I don't know where they found that kid, but she could definitely steal a scene without a word. Second favourite might be 'Super' because the banter was brilliant and Finch gave it to the man. And then Reese saved the day anyways with a crutch. Well, two crutches. I'm sure he could have done it with one.
Mostly I am annoyed that there are only 2 episodes left. What will I DO ALL SUMMER? Thankfully, it's been renewed.
And Castle this week? My show is back!
