So. Flashpoint.
I haven't been around in a while. I've been very busy with school, teaching and other stuff lately to do much more than keep up with my f-list. But now I'm finally on my autumn break (yay!), which means I've got some time to catch up on things I've missed.
So, Flashpoint!
I've been watching faithfully every week and the episodes are good, but...I don't know, I don't really feel the love anymore :o( Pretty much every episode is still making me cry and I still watch the eps as soon as I get a chance, but I guess I miss last season's family feel. I suppose season 4 is just an extremely hard season to top for me, because there was so much team-y goodness and so much Spike angst, whereas this season I guess it's mostly going to be about the Ed angst.
There have been some nice moments, of course. Eyes In was a great Spikesode and I've loved the Spike and Greg scenes together. Also, Leah! I miss Raf, but I like Leah too, so I'm happy she's back. But I just miss the team-y/family stuff. I'm still enjoying the show; I'm just not as invested in it anymore. I don't feel the mad urge to write fic, like I did last season. I really do think a long hiatus hurts a show, because viewers tend to find other shiny things to obsess about (okay, I realize the casual viewer doesn't obsess, but I do! ;o)). I have so many FP fic started that I do hope to finish some day, but I just haven't felt the urge to do that at all yet, so yeah...I guess I just need a major Spike angst or Spike in danger ep to get me back into the writing mood for Flashpoint. ;o)
The past few months I've been dabbling in an old fandom of mine (the Hardy Boys) and I've been getting my feet wet in a new one: Young Justice. It's a cartoon (yup, I'm such a big kid!) that basically centers around a team of DC sidekicks. I happened to catch an episode and was immediately drawn by Robin (the Dick Grayson incarnation), because the animation is just really pretty! And I like pretty ;o) So I know what I'll be doing during my autumn break, fandom-wise ;o)
