So ages ago, I would check out the Fall TV schedule and check for new and returning shows, but now with streaming it's become kind of convoluted but I did try and look for stuff that might interest that is "coming soon" this fall.

Wow this is seriously lacking.

New Shows

First thing up, CBS has Eternally Yours, which premieres October 8, is a supernatural sitcom about a guy learning that his girlfriend and her family are vampires. It looks fun and light-hearted and I think out of "new" CBS line-up I could find, probably be the only one I would check out. Will it probably be cancelled? Knowing my luck, yes. But it's made by people behind Ghosts, so fingers crossed? Anyway I know most of the cast in Eternally Yours, even if I can't actually name them off the top of my head.

As for Disney, there is VisionQuest (October 14) which honestly until I saw the trailer I wasn't really looking forward to it. ( Read more... )

Next up for Disney/Hulu there is Coven Academy (October 1 on freeform/2 next day streaming) which honestly could go either way but I'm giving it a chance, mainly because of the witch element and because of Tiffani Thiessen and Malina Weissman (who played a young Kara on Supergirl). I think I'm missing my supernatural type shows.

I think for NBC, the only one that looks sort of interesting is Line of Fire (September 21) but like... probably once the season is complete. I get tired very quickly of who done its so pretty sure that will be a maybe. But I like that it's focused on a family and Hope Davis is in it - not quite sure who the kids actor-wise are but they seem good. But I also want to put NBC on my shitlist right now for cancelling The Hunting Party (which is fucking bullshit).

Netflix has East of Eden which is a limited series on October 1 which stars the lovely Florence Pugh. I blink and she's doing something else, so I'm going to have to eventually catch up on her other roles. But it looks interesting - I have not read nor heard of the book before; not quite sure if I'll finish it though.

There's apparently a couple different/new shows from the networks (CBS|Prime|HBO|ABC), but they don't have trailers or are in development stage so I'm not sure when or if they are premiering. But it's hard to tell if I would be interested in them since there's not a lot of description for their shows.

Namely, Fox's Baywatch which I had watched when I was much younger, and I did enjoy the movie version. But it also looks like a sequel series, instead of a complete reboot so that will interesting - it does make me want to rewatch the original series.

Returning shows....

Ghosts new episodes are due to premiere on October 29 apparently, I didn't see any trailer for it unless I missed it, but maybe later in the month.

Season 2 of Marshals (October 4) is coming back and I'm excited. So looking forward for more of the cast. And there was a little moment of Kayce & Andrea in the trailer, so my shipper heart was happy.

Season 4 of Tracker (October 4), which I haven't watched or much of Season 3 so I'll probably catch up to it. Honestly I feel like they should do a Tracker/Reacher crossover (I know they would never since it's different stations but like they are oddly similar plus they star former Smallville stars and who oddly both portrayed Aquaman at one point). Ooh I'll have to add some crossovers to galorechallenge.

Season 5 of Animal Control is premiering on September 27, which yay but also means I apparently to catch Season 4 up.

Doc Season 3 is set to premiere September 22, not sure if I'll watch that or not, I did not finish Season 2 yet (five episodes left).

CW seemed to have died with all the shows I loved on it, which kinda sucks - I don't see anything coming up at all that's not sports or reality shows. Although I did see that Sherlock & Daughter (Discover/CW) had been renewed which I don't remember if I mentioned here or not but I did watch Season 1 and I did enjoy that - I actually thought it had got cancelled so yay for the nice surprise it wasn't.

High Potential Season 3 is supposed to come back eventually so looking forward to that.

What are you guys looking forward to (new or old)?

It's been awhile since I did a meme, so figured it was about time. Both memes were snagged fromimpala_evolved.

This or That: Tropes addition. Feel free to copy/paste if you want to play!

slow burn or love at first sight // fake dating or secret dating // enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers // there’s only one bed or long-distance correspondence // hurt/comfort or amnesia // fantasy au or modern au* // mutual pining or domestic bliss // smut or fluff // canon-compliant or fix-it // reincarnation or character death// one-shot or multi-chapter // kid fic or road trip fic // arranged marriage or accidental marriage // high-school romance or middle-age romance // time travel or isolated together // neighbors or roommates // sci-fi au or magic au // body swap or gender bent // angst or crack // apocalyptic or mundane


*So I do like Modern AUs, it just kinda has to be certain fandoms? I know I really loved The 100's modern Bellamy/Clarke AUs. I've read a couple Bridgerton and Game of Thrones ones but lost interest usually. I guess it would depend on the fandom.
** I also still love: love at first sight, secret dating, best friends to lovers, amnesia (Overboard anyone? Also 10 Things That Never Happened which had fake!amnesia), and canon compliant (although most of my favorite ships are non-canon so yeah that doesn't usually work). I just love the other one more.

When did you join Dreamwidth? June 14, 2009. I can't believe it's been seventeen years? That makes me feel old.

Why did you join Dreamwidth? Originally, it was sometime after dreamwidth came about and I think that was because of one the larger purges that LJ did back which honestly was one of the first or second big blows to LJ fandom spaces that I experienced - and I think it was the safer option and also most similar formatting that I loved about LJ compared to the other places people went to although I did end up joining tumblr.

What's the meaning behind your Dreamwidth username? same name as my LJ - wanted to it be seamless transition if anyone happened to want to find me from LJ. But anyway it has two meanings, the original name - flare on fury just squished together.... and the second one after I realized what it spelled Flareon Fury aka that fiery Eevee evolution from Pokémon. Which works! I love Flareon too. So basically a two-for-one deal.

What's your favorite thing about Dreamwidth? I have to say that it uses the system that LJ used (the journals/communities) and has improved on it. I much prefer this version of interaction than tumblr where I just feel like I'm lost in the abyss (I mean don't get me wrong pretty gifs/fanart, but it's just chaos to me) and things like Discord where I literally cringe at. There are a lot of events and communities.

What's your least favorite thing about Dreamwidth? Sometimes I feel alone in posting in communities and that I'm spamming people because of it since I'll look for new posts and I'm like the only person posting new. I've run a few Drabble-A-Thons and other events, and no one participated in which sucks.

Dreamwidth free, paid or premium? Paid so that I can have 150 icon slots! (and to support the site)

What do you get out of Dreamwidth that you don't get from anywhere else? I have to agree with what impala_evolved said "DW still moves slow enough for me to post comments a day (or more) later, and I can catch up on my reading page, and it's still searchable. And I can customize my own blog!!" I love LOVE being able to design my websites so I hate not being able to control how my journal/communities look although we did lose several really great layout communities that had been on LJ. I also love the tagging system.

Dreamwidth tip for beginners? I would say join communities for your various fandoms and keep the fandoms alive by interacting with those fandoms! Participate in fic events that interest you. Ship and Let Ship - do not shame people for shipping what they do. Also Your Kinks are Not My Kinks or however that saying goes - again do not shame people for their kinks. COMMENTING - so important! If you're not a writer or graphic maker - let them know you like it or comment in discussion posts - best way to keep the writers/graphic makers/fans keep the fandoms alive. Also if you have nothing on your blog currently, write a little about you section (can be broad and just be about the fandoms you like - doesn't have to be as in depth as mine) and snag some icons from fandom_icons or the many other icon communities out there.
