Ahh, we'll have to agree to disagree on Allegiant, I fear. XD
I still have to watch most of the original trilogy; I watched the first Bourne when it came out because of Frank Potente, and I have the others sitting here on DVD, but. XD
Haven't watched the second movie, and saw the first one waaaaaaaaaaay back, so I've got no horse in that race.
Yeah, AOS is a bit of a rollercoaster for me, up and down again and again, but I like it more than I thought too.
Nashville is pure crack, but man, is it entertaining crack.
I'm not even sure we disagree that deeply on Allegiant. Had I gone in blind and with high expectations, I suspect I would have hated it, but I went in thoroughly spoilered and braced for the worst, so the bad bits didn't really live down to the worst and the whole experience was better for me because of it. Though I still think Roth can't write Four's POV with Tris in the picture for the life of her. Okay, she can every once in a while, but the two stories of his I like were before he met her, go figure.
I loved the Bourne movies more than I expected, and I do recommend them. I got dragged in by a friend's love, of course.
I'm always surprised to meet anyone who does have a horse in that race, to be honest.
And yes, yes, yes about Nashville. That sums it up beautifully. Plus, gorgeous music. Hmm... Somehow my two must-see shows fall into the category of soap opera. I never thought I was that kind of person before. Oops.
Yeah I knew very little, having been braced for things might've taken out the sting in some ways. Ah well. Too late now. XD And yeah, that shifting POV wasn't the best idea she ever had. I still have to read the prequel stories, I'll judge them when I did. XD
Still on my rewatch list, those. /nod
Ahaha, nothing wrong with soapy stuff, if it's well done it can be very engaging. XD
