Now that school is in full-swing, so is the homework. I\u2019ve heard people say that junior year of high school is the most difficult and it\u2019s so true. Munchkin has hours upon hours of reading, worksheets, projects, and other paperwork every single day. Though she gets home in the early afternoon, she\u2019s often working on her assignments past midnight. Obviously, that limits the amount of free time she has. And, when it comes to watching tv series or movies, that ends up limiting what I watch as well. I already told you<\/a> about how she comes running to my side every time she hears anything remotely close to a video playing on my computer. She\u2019s determined to never let me watch alone….<\/p>\n

Too Many Good Series & Too Little Down Time<\/h3>\n

With that in mind, we have to be very selective in which series we watch. With the new fall season of television shows airing, there are a few we are looking forward to seeing each week. The Flash (see seasons 1-3<\/a>) starts tonight and, lately, we\u2019ve been enjoying The Gifted. As a HUGE X-Men fan from my younger years, this is a decent series and I so far I really like it! Agents of SHIELD (seasons 1-4<\/a>) is coming but, with the weird Darkhold storyline and the team now in space, I\u2019m not sure if we’ll keep tuning in. In addition to that, there are only a few extra slots we can fit into our weekly television-watching menu. Fortunately, we already have a couple titles at the top of our list.<\/p>\n

First up on my list of \u201cto watch\u201d series is Voltron: Legendary Defender. Voltron: Legendary Defender Season 4<\/a> will be out on October 13, 2017. Similar to the mini-season released in August<\/a>, season four will only consist of six episodes. The idea of smaller chunks being released more often is part of the studio\u2019s efforts to lessen wait times between seasons. I\u2019m kind of on the fence about this. I’m pretty impatient but I\u2019d rather wait longer for a nice, developed story than bits and pieces that I\u2019ll forget about before the next release. Oh, well. I really can’t complain. I\u2019m just happy to get as much Voltron Legendary Defender as I can.<\/p>\n
