Beginning of seasons

The new season of a lot of stuff I watch started but I've been concentrating on other things so here are my thoughts about the first (and sometime second) episodes before I forget.

I liked the future episode of Fringe last season but the first one of this was fairly disjointed and was telling us about a lot of things that happened in a kind of infodump (September, plan, Olivia) instead of showing. If it wasn't for Walter rescue it would be also quite boring.

I liked today's episode much more. There was more coherence and I liked the difference between Etta's detachment and Olivia's caring. One have lived through all that happened and she is right and that's why she's still alive. The other still lives by the old rules and that's dangerous in this word but it is also a reminder of what the resistance is fighting for. She sees the loyalist as a person - just a guy who feeds the birds. Etta cannot have that luxury but she still lets him go. I really liked this episode as it showed both how that future change even the good guys but also why our heroes had to sleep over it. Although the end with tape quest was kind of ridiculous. Reminded me of an old time video game.

I really liked the last two episodes of Haven. Nate's misguided protectiveness that turned him into complete asshole. Duke who cannot escape his destiny despite trying his best to find something else to do because sometimes it's really saving people (but it is destroying him). Audrey being empathic and pragmatic at the same time and ability to concentrate on the saving as many lives as possible, helping all she can help even if it means doing something wrong. I loved the way she dealt with dogs last week, I had the same thought about Duke but I loved that she didn't pressure him and I really like her slow friendship with the shrink (I hope she's going to last unlike previous new female characters).

I noticed that the troubles get more and more awful for people who have them. Where is the old time solution of just calming them down and/or making them leave town? We don't even see much of Audrey nullifying powers anymore. I'm pretty sure this is to make the pressure for Duke to start killing. I also think Audrey learning she will disappear is to make her more OK with that. Someone else who can make people stop. I'm also pretty sure The season will be about consequences of that.

The beginnings of new seasons of Once Upon a Time and Revenge were both awesome. !Emily is back to her scheming ways. She drowns herself to remember. She has a reason why she let the white haired guy live. If I wasn't so scared for !Amanda I would be perfectly happy.

I loved the reunion of the Charming family. From Snow and her Prince (we are supposed to learn his real name soon) to meeting with their daughter as their daughter to realising they have grandson. I loved how they feel joy and relief but Emma is confused and just not prepared to deal with this. On one hand she understands that they were forced to do that and she learned to liked them as friends but she has that great hole in her for all those years she was abandoned. Of course the joy doesn't last long but I loved how they decided to save Regina for Henry because even though he spent last season telling everyone she is the Evil Queen she is still his mom - the one who took care of him his whole life. And she does love him as he is the only one she cares more about then her revenge.

I also love the fact that Regina couldn't have any magic until Emma touched her. She makes the magic come back. Like Jefferson said she can make it real. Only now she's stuck in Fairyland and the people have to deal with all of it without her.

I also loved the reveal that Aurora, Mulan and Philip were now of Fairyland and not the past (although it was very Lost-y). The thing with the wraith was misleading because it happened out of order but it made the realisation more fun. I hope Snow, Emma, Mulan and Aurora have many great adventures together before they save Fairyland (or save people there).

OK, enough. So shortly. I liked the new episodes of Scandal but I must admit in the show with so many awesome women David Rosen is becoming my favourite character. I also loved the Person of Interest new episodes (especially the dog) but I must admit I empathise with Root. I have very strong feelings about her cause and even though I don't like her views of all humans I admit I get where she's coming from. I also think she's pretty badass so ♥
