I'm digging the new season of
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. They stopped shooting so much on studio lots and/or locations around Los Angeles and moved everything to interior sets…
…because this season is set in the future on a Kree-controlled station in the debris field of a shattered Earth…
…so the show actually seems less cheap and more believable. Of course, given the setting, it reuses many elements from…
… the drama podcast Our Fair City and Neal Stephenson's novel Seveneves, both of which I've enjoyed, albeit to different degrees.
It's fun to compare and contrast the worldbuilding.
I also dug the latest season of
iZombie, which I just finished binging on Netflix. The new Big Bad is genuinely intimidating (
and cut like marble, jeez), and I like how the story is steadily advancing. They say the best stories are surprising yet inevitable.
Yay, winter break — the time to catch up on shows because no sane person would go outside in this weather.
