2011 and 2012
Dec. 26th, 2011 08:40 pmLooking back, looking forward via the meme I have stolen from various and sundry:
Which TV shows did you let go of in 2011?
I'm still watching DW and Glee but not in an omgitisairingRIGHTNOWmustwatchinsilence sort of way. And I haven't watched an episode of this season of Leverage, but I WILL!
Which TV shows did you mean to get into but didn't in 2011? Why?
I wanted to watch both Ringer and Revenge and I've seen some of both but not consistently. Mostly because I haven't had enough time.
Which TV shows do you intend on checking out in 2012?
Magic City! Jeff Morgan, running a hotel in Miami Beach that's based on a hotel I can see out my window, which filmed in my neighborhood! YAY!
Which TV show impressed you least in 2011?
I had issues with the season finale of DW. And I still don't believe that Blaine Anderson was a sophomore during Teenage Dream etc last year on Glee. Retconning by showrunners to keep Darren in high school for one more year, yes?
Which TV show do you think you might let go of in 2012 unless things significantly improve?
I may possibly not restart watching Royal Pains. I'm very bored with it. And I have to let go of Chuck! WAH!
Which TV show impressed you the most in 2011? Why?
Supernatural has hit some massive home runs (although there have been serious foul balls, too) and omg ONCE UPON A TIME you are perfect and adorable!
Which TV shows do you think you'll never let go of no matter how crappy they get? Why?
I am with Supernatural until the end, and I don't know if that's this spring, or one year more.
Your main fandom of the year?
Probably Supernatural, but Harry Potter is still around! And I've been dabbling in Thor-Avengers, but I've been in the Iron Man comm since the first movie...
Your favorite film you watched this year?
The movie that impacted me most was definitely Deathly Hallows 2, butLOKI! THOR! - I mean ~*THOR*~ - is a significant second place contender, with The Muppets in third.
Then again, I have not seen Sherlock Holmes 2 yet.
How can I not list DH2, though? The series changed my world, changed my friendships, changed my life. So this cinematic conclusion was massively impactful.
Your favorite book read this year?
HUNGER GAMES. Probably the whole trilogy because I loved the story and Katniss/Peeta relationship in the first book, the worldbuilding and Finnick in the second book, and many of the concepts - if not the execuitons - pun intended - in the third book. Cannot WAIT for the movie and hoping it makes enough money to justify a sequel because Jared Padalecki needs to play Finnick.
Other than HG, I absolutely loved Lev Grossman's Magician King, liked the concept and a lot of elements of Ready Player One and the concept if not the specifics of The Story of Us.
Your favorite tv show of the year?
Does The Muppet Show count? No?
Supernatural, then. It's my one and only mustwatchwhileitairs series.
Song of the year?
One Republic's Good Life. I first heard it a few weeks before heading to London for the first time in almost 20 years, and it was perfect walking around Leicester Square and down to Picadilly listening to it.
Your best new fandom discovery of the year?
TOM HIDDLESTON. I... I just do not have a reasonable explanation. But this deleted scene is my justifiable if unreasonable explanation.
Also, I have finally discovered tumblr. My shame and my joy, they are apparent.
Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year?
Livejournal is a disappointment in their treatment of many of their users. Why, LJ, seriously? Test your damned code on your userbase and if they say it sucks, it may very well do so. And the new DJ Earworm mashup of the songs of 2011 isn't as amazing as the ones from 2009 or 2010. May not vid it.
Your biggest squee moment of the year?
Jason Isaacs showing up at my Harry Potter panel at Comic Con! And the entire week in London around the HP premiere, including but not limited to seeing David Tennant and Catherine Tate in Much Ado because it was insane and hilarious and brilliant and perfect. I wish I'd had time to see it a second time.
Your biggest fan anticipations for the coming year?
AVENGERS! Loki throws Tony out the window! And if the Central Park photos are really the ending, then SQUEE.
The Hobbit! I saw the trailer in 3D today and it is going to be mind blowingly gorgeous, isn't it?
Seeing Darren Criss in How to Succeed for my birthday with fandom friends!
Also, hopefully, a release of David & Catherine's Much Ado on DVD.
