IMPORTANT QUESTION

hafitalIs Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D worth it? Do I need to watch it in order to greater appreciate the Marvel Cinematic Universe? I get a sort of indifferent vibe about it on my friend's list - most of you seem kind of just okay with it, not over the moon. But that's just a cursory impression. Should I bother? Do I need to? Are important things revealed? I do love Agent Coulson, but not so much that I need more of him or anything, so I have been mostly uninterested in Agents of SHIELD. But, then I get curious.
Also, and this is probably just my own thing, but I kind of find it irksome that he's dead in The Avengers but then he's apparently doesn't really die. I don't know, I think it cheapens the emotional payout of The Avengers, but I realize that makes me a bit of a hypocrite since I've been fully on board in other instances when formally dead characters are retconned into aliveness. Whatevs.

In other words, things are NUTS over here, but in a generally good way. Most of it isn't even book stuff, just regular life/work stuff. OY.
Still rewatching The X-Files. Mulder is a goober. Scully is lovely. And watching MCU! Fun! Not reading much, though. No time to read! argh!
Also, rewatching Highlander, which is like coming home. love love love. I am sort of working on my hl_shortcuts story? Sort of? If thinking really hard is working? Isn't it? I say it is.
I had minor dental surgery for receding gums (not graft, but pinhole/collagen fibers whatever) last week and it was HORRID. Successful, but lord it was uncomfortable and like 2 hours of torture. And 6 weeks of recovery. WHUT? We still have to do the upper gums, but I am going to put that off for a while considering I can't do a 6 week recovery thing for the early part of the year at least. ugh.

Date: 2014-11-16 11:03 pm (UTC)Just finished the Small Potatoes, which is that weird 4 season ep with the guy who has a vestigial tail and shape shift into any other man, and he's impregnating women, including a woman who believes the father of her baby is Luke Skywalker. He captures then impersonates Mulder and makes a move on Scully and almost succeeds! This show was pretty wacky.
