So who on my flist is still watching The Vampire Diaries next season?

And how many on my flist are watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., cause I'm seriously thinking of giving it a go now? I skipped it in the first place because I wasn't all that into The Avengers movie, so I don't know if that means that it will be an automatic miss for me...But eh I do usually enjoy Joss's other shows (well at least I loved Buffy and Dollhouse, liked Angel, and Firefly was okay), plus I've seen some enthusiastic reviews for it really picking up in the second half of season 1, so would people recommend giving season 2 a try when it airs?

Yeah I was always more of a Stelena shipper, but I thought that Delena had a good build-up in seasons 1 and 3 (wasn't such a big fan in season 2 admittedly), but the writing for them as a couple as been all over the place ever since they introduced the sire bond. For Elena too :(

And thanks for the recs! I'm thinking of giving Winter Soldier a try. I didn't dislike The Avengers exactly, it had some good bits and I remember it getting better towards the end, but yeah overall I wasn't particularly engaged. I convinced my sister and brother-in-law to see it with me after I read all of the gushing on my flist, and they were kind of side-eyeing me afterwards for my choice because none of us were particularly into it :P

For the full Winter Soldier experience, I'd recommend watching Cap 1 as well, despite the slightly cheesy villain. It's the origin story that makes you really appreciate Steve (my mother totally wanted to adopt him) and the events from Cap 1 are heavily referenced in The Winter soldier. Gah, now I'm having a lot of Steve Rogers feelings again. Happens a lot lately, lol.
