Pandas!! (and added fannish blather)
Jun. 25th, 2016 03:04 pmI can't figure out how to just post the video here, but follow this link to the most adorable set of panda cubs and their perpetual attempts to prevent their keeper from raking up leaves in their enclosure. (Actually, also just check out the entire Great Panda Conspiracy facebook page, it's guaranteed to make you smile.)
Person of Interest had its series finale this week and I was happily surprised how well it went out. Yes, there was death (which I totally expected) but entirely truly in character and for plot reasons. Overall, I'm very happy with how the show spent its last season and the arc it gave its characters.
Wynonna Earp also finished its season (possibly series, neither renewal nor cancellation has been announced) and I was pretty content with everything it chose to do until the last 60 seconds or so when it decided to go the 'OMG SURPRISE UNEXPECTED TWIST' as their ending. Which, blargh. I still recommend it as a show, but those few seconds really soured my overall love of the show.
Preacher began on AMC a few weeks ago. It's free to watch via the AMC app (no log in necessary, but it's probably region-locked). Dominic Cooper (aka CA:TFA's Howard Stark) is AMAZING in it and Ruth Negga is incredibly kickass. It's based off a comic (which I know nothing about). To sort of sum it up Dominic plays Jesse, a small town Texan preacher with a sordid past, Ruth plays Tulip, his former partner who wants to drag him back into the life (of crime? off-book political stuff? it's unclear) and Joseph Gilgun is Cassidy, an Irish vampire who literally drops into town shortly before some weird/alien/supernatural thing crashes into Jesse and gives him powers. It's more convoluted than that? No real idea where the show is going but the cast is amazing and it definitely has going for it the fact this is something I haven't seen before a million times.
Been watching a lot of football (soccer) here between Copa America (how did the US make it to the semi's? How?) and Euro 2016 but thankfully there haven't been too many bad calls so the animals haven't been awoken by my yelling at the refs. (Because we all know how loudly you yell at the refs for making a terrible call, the better they're later calls will be. Or something.)
What's my flist up to these days?
