VVC 2015

Jul 08, 2015 09:03

Oh, hey, I should probably mention that I'm going to VVC this year. Let's hang out!

I haven't been in much of a mood for vids this year, but I'm hoping VVC will change that. It usually does.

In the meantime, also please rec me vids for:

Agent Carter*
The 100
The Legend of Korra
Orphan Black
Penny Dreadful

and also possibly:

Community
Parks ( Read more... )

Yay, Vividcon! Come hang out with me. :)

I didn't know you were watching all those comedies! I just mainlined Kimmy Schmidt this weekend and enjoyed it thoroughly, and would love to see vids about it. This also reminds me that I need to catch up on The 100. For some reason, I've been stuck at the end of S1 of that for *months* and S2 is still not on Netflix. I actually have the S2 downloaded on computer, but Netlix streaming spoiled me, and now I get all irritated if I have to watch something on my computer. Heh. ANYWAY! VVC can serve as an impetus for me to finally catch up. :)

How is S2 of Penny Dreadful, btw? Will it push my DNW buttons like parts of S1 did? Hmmm.

I want all the Vonnie time!

The comedies is all due to you and Minnow, in a way. You were so enthusiastic about Brooklyn 99 that I had to try it, and even though it didn't work for me, it primed me to fall for all the Parks and Rec discussion when the show ended. I marathoned Parks and Rec, Better Off Ted, Kimmy Schmidt, and Community all over the past two or three months. Dramas are still where my heart is, but I am newly open to comedy. Who knew?

The marathoning really helps. It lets me build up an attachment that I can't manage in 22-minute chunks.

I think Penny Dreadful S2 would be less squicky for you than S1, but I'm not sure it would be enough less squicky to be worth it. There's still a lot of torment of Vanessa, but much less physical agony and she's in much more control over the season ( ... )

Isn't Parks and Rec fabulous? While I've been more fannish about The Office and Community for various reasons, I think P&R turned out THE strongest network comedy in the last decade, full stop. You've seen Sisabet's Leslie vid, right? (Set to "Fly") That vid always makes me choke up. Sisabet also made several excellent Community vids, although they're now quite a few years old.

Better Off Ted, oh man. The "Racial Sensitivity" episode in particular is perfection in a bottle. And it was only the second episode! If only it was allowed to live longer...

Thanks for the insights into S2 of Penny Dreadful! I have a handful of media I mean to finish before VVC, but after that, I may give this one a gander.

I forgot to follow up on The 100! Since you got to the end of S1, you hit the good stuff. And it gets better! I think S2 is partly the process of shedding even more of the CW relationship stuff, which clearly didn't interest the showrunners as much as, well, anything else, given how shallow they were compared to everything else. (I am a huge Bellamy/Clarke shipper but am inclined to hope they never become canon. I been burned, man.)

Parks and Rec! I have not seen ANY of the vids, because I am so late to the fandom. I have so many feelings! Ron Swanson is my soul brother despite the fact that I find his politics abhorrent. (It would be mutual.) April's misanthropy is amazing -- and her kinda sorta slightly growing out of it due to Leslie and Andy. Andy! Who is the kind of man child who usually irritates me incredibly, but who is so sweet I can't help but love him anyway. And LESLIE. I needed Leslie Knope in my life. The optimism and the energy and the commitment to change and the EXPLICIT FEMINISM. SHE IS NOT AFRAID OF THE ( ... )
