Okay, I think I’ve gotten into my next project enough to start posting stuff about it. So far it’s what I’m going to be sticking with for a while, but I don’t know how much longer the project will hold my interest. But for now, let me introduce the next review series for this blog.

( Let’s get LOST )

You probably all thought I forgot to post on Monday this week. Whether I did or not, this was always meant to go out today: October 3rd. That felt like the right day to start this project.

( It’s Fullmetal Alchemist time )

( State of some projects and revealing a new one )

As with all my review projects, I make no promises about how far I'll go with this one, but I'm trying something new.

( Maybe reviewing House of the Dragon )

I was going to fold off on this a bit longer and do a full schedule reshuffle when I was done with Kenobi/SW in general. But I currently have a bigger cushion in this series than I do for the Buffy-verse, so here goes…

...I didn’t want to do this. I still don’t want to do this. I don’t know how long I will bother to do this. I’m honestly kind of hoping that starting watching this show won’t take too long to remind me why I ran away from it years ago and am only now looking back.

But The Vampire Diaries calls to me, and for some combination of reasons I seem to be unable to resist it.

We’re coming to the end of Rebels and Hawkeye in the next couple weeks, so I think I will start my new review project here. The plan for the immediate future is:

Monday: current airing series (after Hawkeye, at least some of the new 4400)
Wednesday: Star Wars (Mandalorian is next up)
Friday: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

( Basics and biases )

( My history with Buffy )

Alright, as you may have noticed, I ended up not doing ‘What If’ as it was airing. I’m feeling a little burned by these Marvel shows so far and this was the one I was least interested in. Because it’s a cartoon and I don’t care for the animation; because it’s an anthology so there isn’t meant to be an ongoing story; because it can at most be semi-canon to the rest of the MCU so there’s no need to rush to watch it.

That never meant I wasn’t going to watch it, I just needed to let it buffer for a bit. So now that it’s basically done (for now) is a good time for me to get on it.

( What If… 1x01: What If Captain Carter Were the First Avenger )

Alright, I did write down some thoughts before I had started on Rebels, so it's kind of interesting to contrast with what I said in my retroactive introduction in the previous post.

New Year, new series (I'll get to the 2020 reflections...at some point...probably). Hope all is well and we can enjoy this new adventure together.

So this one is kind of an odd duck in things I've thought of for 2020 hindsight, but it is the next thing I convinced myself to do, so it's what we're doing.

Welcome to 2020, where I guess my New Years' resolution for this blog is to do better with actually posting reviews at any kind of pace. To that end, for today I'm going to post series intros for a couple different projects. As promised, we're doing The Sarah Connor Chronicles for 2020 hindsight, but I'm also throwing in a new series review set for my cousin who requested it over Christmas, and for that I'm doing The Wicther.

( TSCC intro )

( The Witcher intro )

Since it seems the Agents of SHIELD reviews are a project that I’m taking very seriously and therefore slowly, I wanted to have something else a bit less involved that I could do shorter reactions to. I would like to pick up the pace on the AoS reviews, but my thoughts seem to take a while to get in any kind of order, so something lighter is the order of the day for this side project.

Taking a few months off from these reviews wasn’t exactly the intention but part of it was to be expected. I still try and do NaNo in November, and December is always pretty busy. I have found time to try and start a couple ideas for new review projects, but you’re not seeing them because it would risk another Mr. Selfridge situation where I didn’t really commit to the project enough to get very far with it.

But what I keep coming back to is wanting to do Agents of SHIELD; the problem is that I keep wanting to write (and never finish) fanfic instead of review it. I think I may be temporarily out of that loop and ready to try reviewing it again. But I do have some opening thoughts I need to try and get through before starting.

( Biases, history, and Coulson )

So, new project...kind of.

After season 10 of the X-Files, I started a rewatch, and I was doing short reviews of each episode. I only thought to post a few of them so they’ve been sitting on my computer for the last couple years. Now, after season 11, I am feeling the need for more X-Files, so I’ll return to it. But as it’s been a couple years since I had started and I was only in the middle of s2, I might as well start at the beginning. So until I get caught up with where I left off last time, you get double reviews, what my thoughts were in 2016 and what they are in 2018.

These will not be the same kind of reviews as I’ve been doing. The Mr. Selfridge reviews got to be too big for what the show was in my opinion. I’ll probably return to those at some point (we’ll see how long it take me to burn out on TXF this time) These will be more like long reactions (with some added noting of certain elements) than full reviews, but at least at first you get a double dose on each one.

Except for the times when I go “Yeah I didn’t really want to rewatch this one, so I put it on the background while I did some crafts; here’s what I said two years ago.” And trust me, I’m pretty sure that even in just a season and a half, there will be a few that get that treatment.

So that’s the new project, we’ll see how long this one lasts.

Hell everyone, Happy New Year and welcome back to Tori Reviews. I have not in fact abandoned this blog, though it’s going to be a bit different for a while.

First thing is, I’m changing focus. We’re doing Mr. Selfridge for now. It was what I ended up exploring for NaNoWriMo this year so when I came back to doing reviews it was where my headspace was and I wanted to talk about it more.

You can continue following my thoughts on the present season of the DCCW shows at my semi-active lj but I wasn’t in the mood to go back to reviewing those shows here yet. I know what followers I have probably came for those shows and they’ll be back one day I’m sure, but not for now.

I did think going in that I would have less to say about Mr. Selfridge episodes, but that has not proved true. I thought I might change up style of reviews, but aside from a couple tweaks it’s still pretty much breaking the review into a series of talking points, and with so many characters to worry about my reviews are still fairly long.

But unless I get into a real groove for a bit, don’t expect more than two reviews a week, if that.

( A few further notes )

As the song says, let's start at the very beginning, it's a very good place to start.
