My plans for the future
May. 17th, 2013 11:52 pmSo most series have been ending past couple of weeks and I'm still catching on so lets wait till The Name of the Doctor for reactions to that. Today lets look at what what's going to start pretty soon. All the networks are releasing promos for the next season new shows. There is a great deal of SF&F shows coming and that means some of them look pretty promising.
The CW has most SF&F series planned - in fact most of it's new stuff seems to be genre but it mostly looks bland and ridiculous (look at all those white, very pretty, young people pretending to be angsty teenagers - they all look identical). The one about aliens that look just like (white) humans with tattoo on the face is especially ridiculous. But I feel tempted by The Tomorrow People (because Mark Peregrino is evil and Jeffrey Pierce is not and that's how it should be) and teleportation and telekinesis and all that is ♥. And my version of OCD requires watching all the SF&F pilots so I will try The 100 but I'm not having high hopes. The TVD spin-off on other hand has Klaus as a main character and, as much as I love Rebekah and Elijah, I just despise him too much. I will check up on the other two of The Originals to make sure they stay undead.
Since I gave up on TVD I can watch Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. I like OUaT despite all it's flaws and lapses of logic because I treat it as fairytale (same as with Doctor Who in many ways) so I can suspend my disbelief on dream logic and just enjoy the face expressions of true love and adventure. The title of this spin-off is ridiculous but it has Michel Socha (and John Lithgow) so I'm willing to forgive the name.
However, of the ABC shows, the one that generated the most buzz is, obviously, The Avengers spin-off Agents of SHIELD. The moment ABC picked it up (who thought they wouldn't?) the promos where everywhere. It looks cool action wise but I just wish someone besides Clark Gregg and Ming-Na characters seemed less bland. I wish J. August Richards was on the main cast (whether he plays Luke Cage or not). All those young interchangeable agents are so blandly pretty it's hard to even care (they look like they came from CW show). I'm also mildly interested in Ressurection even though the religious undertones are not really my thing.
Intelligence is already giving me Chuck vibes only without the fun but maybe it'll be better then it sounds. However, Almost Human has the most interesting premise of them all. I'm a sucker for the robot/AI stories (which is why I stuck with PoI through the all the boring two guys save the week parts) so hopefully this will live up to the hype (but with JJ you never know).
For the non-SFF&F shows I like The Blacklist trailer (although both this and Hannibal on one network seems a little redundant). And some of the comedies marking the returns of same pretty well known actors to TV might be worth checking. But the one I want to like most is Killer Women because it has Tricia Helfer and Michael Trucco playing siblings and that's enough for me. It'd have to get very bad for me to stop want to watch them.
