Still working on Twilight Zone Season 1 and Alfred Hitchcock Present Season 2. (I don't watch them every day.)

I've been watching an anime called Tokyo Ghoul.  There is a lot of violence in the show so it's not for everyone.

Just started Arrow.  So much better than Agents of Shield, as far as comic book TV shows go.

I miss The Last Airbender. Spoiler alert: Zuko is in the currently ongoing season of The Legend of Korra.

Apparently Zuko stops firebending and moves on to become the leader of some lost group of kids or something...

I'm watching the current season of The Legend of Korra.

How they are going to surpass the level of danger of the second season villain?

That's what I'm wondering.  On top of that, there is at least one more season guaranteed after this one.

Yes, yes it is.

I tried Arrow again, based on your recommendation, and I really like it.  I think I missed the first couple of episodes when I tired it before so I did not get into it.  But this time  I started right at the beginning.

Agents of Shield greatly improved in the episodes that aired after Winter Soldier.

Zuko was my favourite character in TLA so I was really pleased to see him in Korra.

Funny, that's about when I stopped watching Agents of Shield.  Perhaps I should give it another try.  I just didn't really care about any of the characters except Coulson.

I prefer Arrow because of how they integrate his backstory on the island into the current plot.  I could do without all the romantic triangle garbage, but I guess it could be worse considering it's the WB.

Now that I am into second season, I find that the sexual immorality of the characters is bothering me more and more.  The protagonist has had sex with 4 different women over 2 years and this is not portrayed as a bad thing.  It is taken for granted as normal behaviour.  Also some lesbian relationships are introduced and all the good guys are completely fine with it.  Just knowing how this sort of subtext erodes people's understanding of right and wrong really interferes with my ability to enjoy the elements of the show that I would otherwise like.

You've gotten further than me, Jayne. I've only seen the first episode of season 2 so far.

I'll be interested in your opinion as you get further into it.
