Well, ok, a TV movie. But it starred Bud Cort which is always a plus. Had thought it was a short lived series, but was apparently wrong.

That's why they had so few episodes. The first Avatar had time to slowly develop the story line and to run off on tangents. I hope that the next several seasons of A2 will do the same.

TV: Returning shows, I guess Walking Dead and Game of Thrones, Doctor Who 50th anniversary, Legend of Korra S2... SHIELD, American Gods, Under the Dome in development... Movies: I guess Ender's Games, the author is seriously problematic but the story still strikes a chord with me and I can't wait to see how they screw it up. That's about it... there are a bunch that fall in the 'might be interesting' category, but they don't really get me excited yet. And books are entertainment too, for some of us, at least, so in that vein... Impulse, by Steven Gould, the 3rd novel in the series that started with Jumper Hopefully Echopraxia (or whatever it winds up being called), by Peter Watts, the "sidequel" to the excellent Blindsight, but it hasn't appeared on a publishing schedule yet so it might be 2014. And many delightful discoveries that I'm not even aware of yet (and some that I am, but technically came out last year and I'm just waiting for paperback or to find them used). For me…

I think some episodes beat the ratings of Game of Thrones eps), and one of the few female-led cartoon shows.
