So this is a post....
So much for getting my act together and posting at least once a week.
MN's been stuck in a cycle of stupidly cold snaps followed by unseasonably warm followed by lots of snow followed by stupidly cold, repeat ad nauseam. Fun times. (By stupidly cold I mean days where the high doesn't get above 0F, luckily there hasn't been much ridiculously cold aka lows or even highs of -40 with windchill. Meanwhile, unseasonably warm is above freezing, sometimes even into the 40s. Let me tell you, a 50 degree shift in less than 48 hours is rather bizarre.) The result of this type of weather, though, is lots of slippery ice as well as weirdly packed snow/ice and the roads and sidewalks are just awful to navigate. With any luck once we get through Feb things will improve. *crosses fingers*
I accidentally wound up dropping The Librarians. I basically only finished last season out of inertia and somehow missed when it was coming back and it was airing 2 eps in a row so by the time I realized it had returned I was pretty behind and I realized I didn't quite care enough to bother to catch up. Maybe when it's on netflix I'll binge it, but it depends on how much Flynn is in it. I'm not a fan of Flynn.
The Good Place is done for the year. I binged S1 after hearing about the way it ended, and liked S2 a lot, although I'm not so sure about where it's going now. I do hope it moved to a little more of a ensemble feel and less Eleanor-centric once it picks up again.
Due to the Snowflake Challenge thing I wound up (re)reading a bunch of fics in fandoms I was in once upon a time and it got me thinking how fandom/fanfic can be a great way of explaining away problems/unexplained things in canon, but, by doing so, can also wind up shining a big ol' spotlight on it and make you wonder just what tptb were thinking (if they were thinking) when they wrote it in the first place. So many example of that. SO MANY. *sighs*

Sherlock on the other hand... you are probably smart to skip. TPTB started to believe their own hype and how ~clever~ Sherlock is and how the dickishness is ~brilliant somehow and, erm, yeah, forgetting to watch was probably a good idea on your part.
I am terribly behind on Doctor Who. I forced myself to watch to the end of Eleven's rule because I hoped Clara or Twelve might grow on me and then gave up a few eps into Twelve because I realized it was too much of a slog for me to get through. Oh well. Maybe someday I'll binge it. Probably not.

Testing out the DW photo hosting. While I love MW's look at any age and I'm really into the more mature vibe he's got going on Bull, this pic kinda makes me want to write bad things.
