You decide what I review (no WEREBEES this time)

[thistlechaser]

I saw this idea done elsewhere, and I thought it would be fitting for my LJ. You assign me a random episode of a random show, and I'll review it! Hopefully it will be a show I know little or nothing about; if I know it well I might ask you to re-pick.

The show needs to be available on Netflix, Youtube, basic Hulu, or elsewhere online (official TV station's site, a download site somewhere, bittorrent, etc) -- I'm good at finding things, so leave your suggestion and I'll try to make it work. Tell me the name of the series, season, episode number, and if you know where it can be found. This could be a show you've heard about (good or bad), one you've watched yourself, or that you know nothing of!

Any show is on the table (American dramas, 80s cartoons, game shows, anime, whatever). If this works out well, maybe I'll do movies at a later date.

Turnabout is fair play! If you'd like a random one to review as well, just ask in a comment! Post the review on your own LJ once done and leave a link in the comments here.

Hopefully this will be fun for everyone!

You don't have to review it but I recommend Once Upon a Time (seasons 1 and 2 are on Netflix, 3 is on Hulu) and Hemlock Grove (Netflix Original, 1 season but there is a new season coming in August I beleive).

Also I am current on both of those shows, and obsessed with Once Upon a Time :)

Thanks! I'll pick something at random from one of those if I fall short of other things to review. :)

I enjoyed a significant portion of Hemlock Grove. It had such a Dunwich Horror sense to it that I couldn't help but love it...until they started revealing the monsters. I was very disappointed with the direction taken ('oh, this again') when they'd set up such a perfect lovecraftian stage. To be fair, at least it was a fresh take on a currently overplayed theme.

That's ok though - True Detective set up a similar stage and followed right fracking through.

Yeah, there were some disappointing things about Hemlock Grove but I really appreciated the fresh and imo more realistic take on the supernatural.

Are random passing strangers welcome? ^_^; (Admittedly, I'd be rotten at reviewing any assignment myself)

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

For sure! Recommend or request away! :)

For a challenge, what about the last 7 episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.?

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

A challenge indeed! I can do one of them. Any special one you have in mind or should I pick one at random?

Episode #16 or episode #17 would work. (The End of the Beginning and Turn, Turn, Turn respectively.)
