Word Vomit.

So....

In case anyone was subscribed to this (which I don't think anyone was) you may notice something. I recently deleted all my old posts, some because they involved stuff that I am not apart of any more, others because it was just nonsense and I felt that it wasn't important anymore. I also realized that I had not posted in almost 3 years, yeah. Sorry about that. Although to be honest, I was posting about a 2015 reading challenge that I stopped because life got hectic. Not that life isn't hectic anymore....


Regardless.

I am writing this post today to word vomit and get my mind off some things that are stressing me out and honestly upsetting and frustrating.

So.

At this point in time, I am currently watching 8 shows. I have one that is returning this month, one returning when one currently airing ends for the season, one picking back up at the end of April, 3 that will be returning sometime this summer and one that won't be returning until Summer of 2019. An additional one that ended in December has been renewed already for the fall schedule. There is also one that just ended with its fate undetermined at this point.

Currently airing (in order of airing): Legends of Tomorrow (CW), The Flash (CW),  The Magicians (SyFy), Supernatural (CW), Arrow (CW), Blindspot (NBC), Once Upon a Time (ABC), and Agents of SHIELD (ABC). Shadowhunters (Freeform) returns March 20th, and Quantico (ABC) returns late April. Supergirl (CW) will return once Legends ends this season.

I want to talk about these for the sole purpose of expressing thoughts I've had regarding the shows.

Legends of Tomorrow, Mondays at 8pm. 3rd Season.
So I really like this show. It is a superhero show involving time travel. Part 3 of 4 for the Arrowverse. In all honesty, my favorite right now. Between the cast, the plot lines, and just the content, this show brings it to the table every week, at least since the return from winter break. The earlier episodes of this season where good, but the second half is better in my opinion. Moving on.

The Flash, Tuesdays at 8pm. 4th Season.
Part 2 of 4 for the Arrowverse. For me, The Flash has lost a lot of its momentum. Seasons 1 and 2 were pretty good, 3 was decent but 4 is really lack luster.  And don't get me wrong, certain episodes were awesome, but they are few and far between. I have not been enjoying the second half of this season as much as I would like. I feel like the writers are grasping at straws at this point and therefore the story just seems forced to me. I would not be surprised if this show is not renewed for a 5th season; but if it is, I may find this to be one of my discontinued shows.

The Magicians, Wednesdays at 9pm. 3rd Season.
When I first started watching The Magicians, I thought it was a little weird and out there but interesting. Second season held steady and the storytelling was phenomenal. Third season has picked up just a tad, but is just as amazing as the previous two. From the story telling to the cinematography to the cast, this show is a well rounded machine. Already renewed for a 4th season, I will continue to enjoy this wild roller coaster of a ride.

Supernatural, Thursdays at 8pm. 13 Season.
Well. My once favorite show has slipped into the 4th or 5th position. I feel like this show has greatly distanced itself from it's starting point. Which is what most shows do as they get higher up in season count. But this show started as the story of two brothers, traveling and fighting supernatural creatures. In an attempt to keep the interest of the fans, the show writers has tried to create a bigger bad guy each season. As a result, I'm just not enjoying this show like I use to. I think part of this has to do with multiple changes in head writer for the series, and a certain focus on a character that I feel shouldn't have been keep around this long (I'm not naming names because I'm not). I truly believe that this show has drifted so far from where it started, the premise of the show, that I am finding myself rolling my eyes more often than I am enjoying the episode. I, honestly, will be surprised if it is renewed for a 14th season.

Arrow, Thursdays at 9pm. 6th Season.
Part 1 of 4 of the Arrowverse. When I started watching this show, I adored the flashbacks that were used to explain stuff happening in the present day. However, now that the show has reached it's 6th season, they haven't done as many flashbacks as previous seasons, and I have to say, I miss them. I feel like the character arches that could be played have already been exhausted and therefore this season isn't as enjoyable as previously. Again, I'd be surprised if this one is renewed, but if it is, I may not be watching it.

Blindspot, Fridays at 8pm. 3rd Season.
Another relatively out there show, but this one is amazing. I do feel like there was too much of a time jump between the second and third season, but they recovered from well. I do see this show not having many more seasons, simply because they are already stretching the characters and plot, and I'm not sure how much more they can do without stepping into the realm of insanely impossible. But I continue to enjoy the show week after week, so there's that.

Once Upon a Time, Fridays at 8pm. 7th Season.
So. I'm paraphrasing now from a tumblr post I made a few weeks back. Going into season 7, I knew that a good chunk of the main cast would not be returning, for reasons that we the viewers don't need to know. Actor's choice or whatever. The reason I'm bringing this up? One of the non-returning cast members? My favorite character. I was willing to at least stick around for a few episodes, which turned into the entire first half of the season. But it wasn't the show that made me fall in love with fairytales again, so I was kinda watching it just to say I was still watching it. Back in February it was announced that this season would be the final season. Which I kind of expected to be honest. Sticking with it in hopes that they maybe bring the originals back for the finale.

Agents of SHIELD, Fridays 9pm. 5th Season.
So easily one of my favorite shows. This show also stretches the realm of possibility but I enjoy this one so much. I will be heartbroken if this show gets cancelled. The cast, story telling, characters, everything is just amazing. I'm definitely enjoying this show more than some of the other shows I'm watching combined.

So there will maybe be more. May be not.

Toodles.
