The Sentinel Season 1
Jan. 5th, 2020 11:16 pmI've rewatched season 1!
It's amazing how chill Jim is in this season. His place gets wrecked twice and he doesn't even appear bothered. He is very 'this is my life now' about all the chaos, rampaging apes and loud drumming that Blair brings into his life. I read fic for this fandom for 2 years before I every saw any of the canon. A lot of fic has Jim as very controlling and uptight, likely for reasons of plot, kink or catharsis. Writing characters certain ways for reasons is valid, but it's amazing to me how in canon it's Jim who is very chillax and Blair is the one who is wound up.
The show is, so far, better than I remember. I think when I've gone back to watch bits I guess I chose some of the more train-wreckey episodes. I did a canon review last year for a short gift fic I wrote. One of the eps I picked to rewatch was really not good. I'll talk about that episode when we get there.
Season 1's production team also has the ability to do daylight shots and dress the characters in ways that make sense. They lose this ability later on. When we get to later seasons I'll have screen caps and me going 'wtf?' a lot.
( Spoilers for a 90s show. Nothing deep or insightful, just rambling. )
