SPN cracks me up these days 'cuz they seem to be intentionally *trying* to jump the shark.
LOL! SO VERY TRUE. I think I will be disappointed now if there isn't a literal shark at some point this season!
Though the levels of slashiness continue to be absolutely ridiculous...just wish they'd give more to work with. It's all...superficial? Like, the chars are cute, and fun together, but there's not much going on under the surface, no subtext.
*nods* That's exactly the problem I'm having with it. I want to like it. Some of the characters are completely adorable. But it feels like there's something missing. It's flashy and pretty, but there's no depth to it ... nothing to really keep me coming back. I've been thinking about downloading the couple of eps that I missed and then going "... nahhh." It's the kind of show that you tune into if you happen to be around when it's on, but if you miss some episodes you haven't missed anything important.
Haven't seen White Collar myself but am wondering if some of the buzz is just that fandom is jonesing for a new show and it's in the right place, right time?
When I first saw the promos for White Collar, I thought it looked likely to be one of the next big fandoms. Now that I've seen the premiere, I'm a lot less sure; it's the same problem as with NCIS:LA, I guess, where the surface is stylish and cute, but there's not much else to it.
