Status of new fall shows

Sleepy Hollow - love, love, love. Definite keeper.

Agents of Shield - it`s bland, generic and boring and everything I wouldn`t expect from a Whedon show. I mean, even Dollhouse generated a feeling for me: hatred. This one? Somehow I`m feeling so confused because I SHOULD like it and apparently, I`m missing something because I don`t. Buzzuh?

The Tomorrow People - what do you know, it`s bland, generic and boring, too. Doesn`t help that I find the side guy both much hotter and way more interesting than the lead. Also, if said lead is supposed to be Stephen Amell`s cousin, why isn`t he at least hot? I know, shallow, table for one.

BBC`s Atlantis - it`s like Merlin got turned into a vampire and lots its soul. Seriously, why is this so boring? There isn`t even trashy fun and slash. That was all these writers ever managed and now they don`t even get this right.

Haven`t watched Reign yet but word of mouth ain`t so great to begin with anyways.

In terms of my returning shows, they all do okay right now. The only one I`m side-eyeing atm is Vampire Diaries. At least they explained one of the most boring romances in TV.

I liked the most recent episode of Agents of SHIELD. If that becomes the general quality of the show, I think it will be entertaining generic fun. Then again I'm completely absorbed in comic fandom (comics, movies, animated shows etc.) and am mostly happy that there's another part of that universe out there. I couldn't care less about the Joss Whedon aspect about it; I never got the hype about his person anyway.

Sleepy Hollow is just beautiful.

Haven`t seen the most recent Agents of Shield yet so your words give me hope that it might get better.

I still love comic book stuff and I was hyped for this because I thought Whedon did an exemplary job with the Avengers. And the best thing about his shows (minus Dollhouse) was IMO the character work.

Which is why I`ve been disappointed with Shield so far. Especially the geeks Fitzsimmons just get on my nerves rather than I find them endearing.
