The issue with TLTR, I guess, is that I like the wackiness, but there's a difference between weird deus ex machinas (random warehouse poodle! Crabs operating life-sized puppets!) and just losing the plot entirely, and I feel like Warehouse 11 is always on the line. Bleh. I think the factors keeping me going are Zhu Yilong + sunk costs fallacy (but I already watched 24 episodes!) + hope that season 2 is going to have...y'know...tombs and a reunion. Much as I love him, Long-ge alone cannot sustain me forever. C'mon Iron Triangle!
The stalling on good shows thing is interesting. I think I've done that a few times in the past, but now I tend to binge through stuff quicker as I approach the end. If I'm not enjoying it that much, then at least I finished; if I'm enjoying it a lot, then I get to check the AO3 tag as soon as I'm done. :P
Agreed that Qin Xiaoman is a top-notch Watson! She's really smart and really likeable, and I absolutely love her "hold my beer" method of dealing with fleeing or violent suspects. She just doesn't hesitate. <3 Sorta can't believe we got such a fantastic female sidekick in this show.
This fandom just never stops, and that's a great thing. Yes! I'm so pleased that the fandom as a whole is still chugging along, too. I hope I manage to get some of these concepts into story form, and that they're enjoyable to read... ^^
