Fannish year-end meme
Meme picked up from Chelseagirl
Main fandom of 2019? Pokemon GO. (I'm presently 20,199th in the world in Silph Arena ranked tournament play. I was DFL in my November tournament; hopefully, I can climb back up into the top quartile! Goals.) After that, Forever Knight, of course, and then Highlander.
Favorite film watched in 2019? The best film I saw this year was Into the Spider-verse; if you haven't yet checked it out, put it on your list. The film I rewatched the most times this year was Endgame. But "favorite" ... Detective Pikachu.
Favorite book read in 2019? All the "Brother Cadfael" mysteries? All the "Inspector Gamache" mysteries? Um. Okay, if only one, then: A Study in Scarlet Women ("Lady Sherlock" #1) by Sherry Thomas (2016).
Favorite TV show of 2019? Poldark. PBS/BBC, I expect you to fill this void right quick. What am I supposed to look forward to watching on Sunday nights now that you've ended this series? I demand high-quality historical drama!
Best new fandom discovery of 2019? Nothing comes to mind. Eeeeeeek. Must explore more! (TPTB, stop making only stories I already know. Come on.)
Biggest fandom disappointment? Endgame didn't cater to my every whim. Neither did The Rise of Skywalker. Go figure. ;-)
TV boyfriend and/or girlfriend of the year? Not sure that I fit this mold, but both of the leads of Poldark are as beautiful as they are talented. And the character of Demelza's youngest brother is such a good man, such a good husband...
Biggest squee moment of 2019? Probably the reveal of who Annette Bening's character in Captain Marvel really is. :-D (Not the Intelligence Supreme: the other one!) I've been reading Marvel comics since I was six. When you pay off that accumulated knowledge, I appreciate it. After that, well, many things in Detective Pikachu, like Charizard's tail! I've been pretty bouncy about the Wonder Woman II trailer so far. Cap wielding Mjolnir. And: a certain-colored lightsaber.
Most missed old fandom in 2019? The fandom I've been wanting very much to get back to all year and not managing is Dungeons & Dragons (the animated series). I have the DVDs — the special anniversary edition with the cast reading of the unfilmed finale script — but the series is not available for streaming, and people drift away after, um, almost four decades...
Fandom you haven't tried yet, but want to? I need to get back into Trek! I'm a season behind on Discovery, and Picard is coming. I should also catch up on Doctor Who; I still have a whole season of the twelfth Doctor unwatched, and haven't yet met the thirteenth Doctor. And the final episodes of Agent Carter! Which I set down when cancellation meant there would be no more. But those aren't new, new. Hmm. I've been planning to try out The Rookie! Hmmm. What do you think? What should I be trying?
