TV Watched in Individual Episodes

I'm working on my final undergrad essay, so, naturally, i'm getting nothing done and watching lots of tv. New shows and shows that are back:

- Legend of Korra: darn it that felt off. And everyone seems to be acting really dumb and, worst of all, kinda flat. Where's your nuance, show? Avatar used to be able to have people in it who more than one personality trait. Aang could be dedicated and goofy both. Korra doesn't seem to have much beyond rebellious, and it's a shame.

- New Girl: darn it, it also felt off. The subplots felt unconnected and the humor was weak. FIND SOMETHING TO DO WITH WINSTON, show, he's a main character, if you haven't noticed.

- Sleepy Hollow: if I squint and make a very careful effort not to think about the plot at all, I totally enjoy this! It's not taking itself seriously and has a cheerful wacky streak, AND there might be some interesting characterization in there, some day, with a little effort. There's potential, is what i'm saying.
