Alphas

[beccaelizabeth]

My recorder box got a whole lot of Alphas over the weekend, though it chopped it up very weirdly.
I have watched what I'm almost sure is the first episode, because it introduces all the people.
It has interesting.
So far the autistic character reminds me of my brother, only smarter, so I guess he's kind of accurate, only also really really annoying because I'm pre annoyed in that area.
The super powers are low key and interesting.
I'll probably keep watching.

It was kind of boring though that everyone was really stupid in the middle. I mean, I could, from the information available, figure out exactly what the bad guy just did. Not from narrative causality, from it being what the bad guy always did all the other times too. So why did it take them until the dramatic moment to figure it out? If it's always going to be like that it'll get old fast.

The really annoying?
NO SUBTITLES.
I'm having a treacle head sort of day so that was really annoying.

Also? It took me like five minutes to notice, because I just noticed I wasn't understanding it so easy as usual. Either I'm having a really stupid day or I'm so used to subtitles they're invisible to me. *blinks*


I spent the morning working on the essay. I think I put more hours work into the average essay than are recommended for a semester of study. I need to be more efficient.
At the moment I have more notes than I can possibly use for one essay. I hate that phase. It's like, yaays, I do work! ... unyaays, I do useless work.


I was planning to go to the science fiction group tonight but I think I'll be trying to sleep off a headache instead. boo.

Alphas! I love Alphas, but I have no idea whether it gets less predictable.

[beccaelizabeth]

predictable is not precisely the problem. I can enjoy a good pattern. it's that the characters could not see the pattern they had just explained to us. it loses plausibility.

Hm. I think they do get better on that front.
