EXCHANGE INTERFACE

I still think Asgard is a stand in for the USA and more generally white colonisation. Where do you think all this wealth came from? Maybe some of it was fairly obtained, but most of it was gained by stealing land through genocide.

Captain Marvel's simplest twist to Carol Danvers' origin story is its smartest choice. (Fair warning: it's a Gizmodo article, so don't know how it will turn out for others, but Gizmodo sites tend to hate me...)

Also, reading through a brief history of Agents of SHIELD and it appears that they've gone down a completely different trouser leg of time. COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

It makes my head hurt just reading all this.

More political manoeuvring. Sometimes this show reads as much of a political thriller as an action-adventure-drama show.

( Who's playing whom? )

Looking back, that was a lot of ranting about plot points that Didn't Quite Make Sense. But overall, I enjoyed that episode.

( May likes to party, and by 'party' we mean 'fight' )

Still good writing, good character interactions. They're squeezing a lot more in, but they're doing pretty well at it so far.

It still hasn't hooked me. I'm watching because I need to have a grip on the characters for fic purposes, but I'm not so invested in the characters or the storyline. Not yet, anyway.

Another good episode, although not as good as 2.01, I think.

( learning people by inches )

So, next episode: the return of Jemma and the introduction of Bobbi? Looking forward to it. Just not tonight. It's late and I have a big day tomorrow.

So, I have my MCU Ladies assignment in and I'm looking at treats. And all the bunnies are coming up epic. (No, brain. NO.)

I should try writing some short treats. Emphasis on short.

I finished 'No Fate' (the soulmates fic) which I've been trying to write for, oh, a month. I have 'Duncker's Candle' which has been waiting for, oh, nine months.

And I have the Maria Hill epic from HELL.

SHEEEESH AGENTS OF SHIELD COMES BACK THIS TUESDAY AND I HAVEN'T EVEN WATCHED S2.0

I guess I just hate watching things as serials; too much angst and emotional investment.

I don't suppose there'd be anyone available to chat-watch Agents of SHIELD S2.0 with me in about 12 hours (4am Eastern US time)? *sigh* I want someone to burble with, because that's always more fun and if I do that, it's harder for me to get distracted and walk away.

I have assorted quilting projects that REALLY need finishing, not least of which are two handmade gifts that are for January and February and which I have NOT EVEN TOUCHED. Too scared to get it wrong, which is so much stupid, I don't even have the words for it.

Work: as of next week, I will be commuting by train one of two ways.

There's the way which involves changing trains twice, but is shorter overall (45 mins).

And there's the way which involves changing trains only once, but which gives me a good 45 minutes of writing time from when I get on to when I get off...

Maybe I'll go the long way in the morning and the short way in the afternoon? I could write on the way to work, and handsew on the way home?

I don't think I have previous reviews of these eps on my journals. And I can't find 1.01 on this computer, so we're going in without the first episode.

( listening to these eps while at work )

( 1.15 - Yes Men )


( 1.16 - The End Of The Beginning )


( 1.17 Turn Turn Turn )


( 1.18 - Providence )

( all hail the ficbunnies, they are the ones we all say hail to! )

Okay, nearly midnight. (Good gosh, the night just kind of vanished.)

Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If Joss Whedon makes Maria Hill HYDRA or evil or a bitch
I pray that demons come and take him to the special hell with child molesters and people who talk at the theatre...
