osprey_archerVarious pieces of television news:
1. Veronica Mars is getting a fourth season!!!!!! ON HULU, which I don’t have, and none of my friends have it either, a disaster, I really don’t like the way that streaming services are splintering even though it’s probably inevitable. I kind of want to see the Winter Soldier and Falcon show too, but it’s on yet ANOTHER streaming service and at some point enough is enough.
2. We watched season 2 of She-Ra, which I really enjoyed - except that it was so short! It really felt like they cut it off midseason: even the dual cliffhangers feel like midseason-size cliffhangers, not season-ending cliffhangers. Obviously this won’t stop me from watching once we get the next season (or the second half of this season, as the case may be) but it’s kind of annoying.
I bet Scorpia is going to save Catra. Or maybe Entrapta, given that she has access to Hordak’s lair? I like the idea of Scorpia saving Catra more, but Entrapta makes more sense. Maybe seeing Hordak actually suffocating Catra will make Entrapta go “Oh wow, maybe the Horde is kind of bad, even though they’re funding my research!”
...There’s something depressingly realistic about a scientist going to the dark side in order to get research funding.
As much as I’m enjoying Scorpia’s enormous one-sided crush on Catra (“We have a special bond!” SCORPIA NO), I’ve become invested enough in Scorpia’s happiness that I want her to find someone else, because even though Catra has come to be kind of sort of maybe not totally indifferent to Scorpia (Catra: the most tsundere), I doubt that her feelings for Scorpia will ever come to rival her Adora obsession and Scorpia deserves someone who returns her feelings at the same pitch of intensity.
3. I also finished the final season of New Girl, which despite a somewhat rocky first episode turned out to be a good (short!) season and a fitting end for the show. New Girl is one of those rare shows - like Parks and Rec or Brooklyn Nine-Nine - that actually gets better as the seasons go by; I was really against the main pairings at the beginning of the show, and it totally won me over by the end.
