I really want that to be true. So so much.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Two thoughts:
1) I still want a second season of Agent Carter
2) I'm worried we'll end up with an overload of superhero shows, and there will be fan burnout.
(Yeah, I realize 1 kind of contradicts 2, but oh well.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I read some article recently suggesting that superheroes are the new Westerns, which was interesting to me. But they are also a lot of the cop shows, I think.

I think a lack of superheroes could be a negative for Agent Carter's chances. No matter what we might like, the general world may not be as interested in a more nuanced view of post-war life, not without a lot more derring do involved.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Did...no one watch SHIELD this week? There are no posts about the episode, you guys. WHAT IS HAPPENING.
(I haven't watched it yet, and I usually watch the post count tick up on Wednesdays, but...nothing?)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I watched! I don't know if I have anything to say though. I feel like lots of pieces are being moved around to set up something big. It's entertaining, just not food for discussion at the moment.

Yeah, I watched too, but had the same sense of a lot of things being rearranged, with Ultron breathing down their neck.
I feel even more sorry for Cal now. He had such hopes, and Skye's Mom is not a nice woman at all. "Those people aren't yours to worry about." "Yeah, they are."
Phil continues to be a troll. How long has he wanted to say "Take me to your leader"?
I hope the Tale of Two SHIELDS gets resolved soon, I do not enjoy these "Can I trust her? What is his play? Who really is on my side?" games.

Just finished watching it.

Agreed on both counts. I love Crazy Dad, and I don't trust Jiaying at all.

Me, neither.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That was a whole lot of plans not working out. Too many plans for me to be able to keep track of them all.
Funny, I am with y'all that Jaiying is up to something and it's probably not good, but I'm pretty sure Gordon is totally trustworthy.
Be okay, Mike Petersen! Also zappy-guy, I guess, but mostly Mike. No making him compliant.

Hm, I can see that. Both of those, although it's not like the non-superhero cop shows are disappearing. Of course, a lot of Westerns have been about sheriffs, and feature extraordinary shots or quickdraws or whatever, so maybe they are all three aspects of the same thing.
