So, last night's Agents of SHIELD episode was good. I keep going back and forth with this show. Some weeks are a bit of a slog -- and the previous episode really tripped one of my pet peeves: TPTB, if you want to write a Chinese character, make sure the actor you hire can actually speak the language properly; it's ridiculously easy to tell when they can't and ruins the "authenticity" you're aiming for.

I have gotten off track. So, yes. Last night's episode: good. I want to say it's because it finally focused on character relationships and development, but I'm pretty sure it's because they also focused on characters that I'm actually interested in. More screen time for the lab geeks (and excellent performances from the actors) was a welcome change from Ward and Skye, who do nothing for me. Ward is the character equivalent of room temperature tap water, and with Skye, I don't know. I think the actress is actually doing a pretty nice job; some of her line deliveries are kind of brilliant. I just have no affinity for the character at all.

But this is a convenient segue into today's NaBloPoMo question: What's your current fandom love(s) and/or ship(s)?

There was potential for it previously, and yesterday's episode sealed it for FitzSimmons. Nerdy best friends who bicker adorably all day and will die for each other? Yes, I accept. Of course, this being a Joss Whedon vehicle, I can only assume one of them is headed for a sudden, tragic death. (See: Everything Joss has written ever.)

I'm still a bit iffy about Agents of Shield but I watch, of course, for Coulson, and I really like FitzSimmons.

Favourite show right now, and for a while actually, is Elementary.

*hugs*

Yeah, I'm with you. The show still hasn't found solid footing. I'm still in for Coulson and FitzSimmons, but I don't know how long they can keep me if all the other areas continue being boring and/or problematic.

Elementary is great! Fantastic chemistry, and I really like that the writers are managing such a good platonic balance between Holmes and Watson.
