I'd meant to do Reading Wednesday, but here's a Watching Wednesday.
I've started hate-watching Sleepy Hollow & also Agents of SHIELD.
I find them both to be pretty terrible.
Next time a member of fandom shit-talks Grey's Anatomy, I might have to lay the smack down. YAY GREAT WRITING, ILU GREY'S.
Worse than being terrible, I have 0 interest in fic for either of these fandoms, & may need to block them on Tumblr because I give zero fucks about the gifsets/etc. (VERY UNLIKE GLEE).
So, there you go, the fanworks of Glee serve a huge purpose in my life. I've articulated this before, but for me, it's the fanworks of Glee that make me feel gr9, & they're so much more important to me than the half-assed show.
I think this is how others have felt about SGA.
SINCE I'M WRITING ABOUT WATCHING THINGS...
Silver Spoon & Attack on Titan are both finished. I still like Silver Spoon & will watch season 2.
After the first few episodes of Attack on Titan, the plot became not so interesting to me. I don't care so much about the titans or the soul-crushing feeling humanity, way more interested in logistics of how people are surviving, etc. The second half the series was much less interesting to me than the first, & I don't know if I'll watch more. I'm not totally sure why this is so beloved by fandom.
I still need to watch the last couple episodes of Free.
In these very few days of "no new episodes," I started watching some AKB0048, as well as an episode of Polar Bear Cafe when I super stressed out. PBC is good for when I'm stressed, but way too low-key for devoted watching on my part.
Also downloaded the first episode of Hyouka, b/c I keep seeing gifs that intrigue me on Tumblr. I'm way better at watching shows on my phone (no distractions!) than my laptop, though, so we'll see how long it takes me ^^;;
I'm excited for the new KyoAni show this fall season, but nothing else has caught my eye just yet. If there's something I should put on my radar... L M K

I love Sleepy Hollow because it's like ridiculous cracked out gothic shoujo manga that thinks "logic" is a bad word. Or, you know, Kaori Yuki, but with less misogyny and less incest. I enjoy fandom's delight with the gifs more than the gifs themselves, if that makes sense. (Kind of like how I'm not shipping anything there, but i'm enjoying fandom's explosion of shipping and am amused by how very much the show itself ships Abbie/Ichabod. So much so that the boy is apparently going to go "Abbie! Abbie! THE BIBLE SHIPS US. THE BIBLE. And George Washington." every episode.)
I've heard good things about Hyouka, but haven't watched it yet.
