"I know what I've been told, you gotta work to feed the soul but I can't do this all on my own."

The holidays are over, and all my tv shows are slowly coming back. On various degrees from "traumatizing" to "holy fucking shit my eyes". On one end we have Person of Interest, that's still trying to make me forget that awful, awful episode that almost had me drop the show. It's working, guys, but you need to apply yourself a bit more. More scenes with Harold and John, please. And I'd watch an entire series of Shaw going about her day, just saying. I still hate torture scenes, not even Lost managed to desensitize me (ooooh, it's someone new! let's torture them to see what they know!). But I'm happy with what they're doing with the Machine's storyline, so yay.

On the other end of the scale we have Marvel's Agents of Shield. On a scale of 1 to 10, this was an 11 in fucked-up. Considering they spent half a season assuring us this was a kids show, with simple plots and all, I feel like those scenes were entirely too gruesome and truly came out of nowhere. I shall sit here, stick my fingers in my ears, and think very loudly of all the fix-it fics I've read so far. Another case of "fanon is better than canon".

Thankfully New Girl also came back, and it was like a glass of fresh water in a desert town full of creepy mannequins. Just saying. So glad to have Coach back, and I hope this new development with Cece will give her more time on screen. And we really need a proper Wilson arc.

Seriously, was I the only one who felt really distressed and nauseated after that Shield episode?
