Looking Recap Episode 2.02 “Looking for Results”

Looking is a show that finds interesting ways to tread familiar ground…but even it is not immune to a less than stellar episode, which is what happened any time the show moved it’s focus away from Patrick. “Looking for Results” felt like a season premiere, but in an episode that came after the season premiere it felt a bit off, though interesting stuff happened.

It has felt like eons since we last got to commune with the boys of Looking but HBO finally put us out of our misery and let us partake in a new season today. Was it worth the wait?

2014 in Review: Top 10 (New and Returning) TV Shows

We have certainly been in a golden age of television, enough that I was able to make two top 10 lists from 2014’s TV offerings. I mean this might just be because I seemed to have watched about 90% of the TV shows that were put on the tube, but more so that 2014 just seemed to be a particularly great year for TV.As I was putting the list together, I had to make some hard decisions. The first of which was how would would I rank the shows that I had watched recently, cause in the past few days I’ve been making a mad dash (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Affair, Outlander, Jane the Virgin were all finished within a day of me writing this) vs. the shows that have ended or were cancelled (Enlisted *cries*). Another consideration was whether to split these into two lists, which was easy to figure out and it was super easy to not include several shows that people always accuse me of liking more than I do. So what did I finally come up with? Well out of the shows that were chosen 6 out of the 20 shows are comedies, 14 of the 20 shows have a female lead character, there’s four horror shows, and The Good Wife reigned supreme for the second year running. Anyways here’s my top 10 new and returning TV shows.

2014 in Review: The Ships of the Year

The year 2015 is almost upon us and that means that I have to start talking about 2014. And what better way to kick of the 2014 year in review than with talking about the fictional pairs of people I spent too much time obseesing over! There will be more substantive looks back but to start lets take a look at the ships of the year. Enjoy the fancy slide show with my empirical equations as to why these folks work so well.

The Must List of Queer Cinema, TV, and Books

I recently got a tumblr ask about what my favorite gay books/movies were and I’d figured I’d share the results here. I decided to retile the post queer to encompass more groups btw. As I was crafting the answer for this, it struck me just how much of this content I didn’t see/read till I was well into college. I mean with the exception of three of those books and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, I hadn’t experience ANY of this till I turned 18, which is crazy. I’ve made up for much of that time lost as you can see below, even though I have a long way to go. Anyways, here’s some stuff for you all to check out with what’s left of your summer. Anything I should add to the list?

If I Had an Emmy Ballot…the Best of the 2013-2014 TV Season

Have you all had a chance to check out the Emmy ballots? You should have by now consdering they were released last week 🙂 Anyways, it has come time to discuss the best of TV in the 2013-2014 season, as my summer loves True Blood and Teen Wolf are going to start the new season off this coming week. When I think about what the 2013-2014 season gave to us, it’s pretty clear that the year was one of the broadest ranges of television viewers had to choose from. I think that I watched a grand total of 25 TV shows this year in their entirety (be that 22 or less episodes) which meant narrowing down the fields took forever. There are several shows such as The Good Wife or Veep that coasted to easy wins in their categories, but just as many areas that I had to really think about the choices. Category fraud also came into some play because though the Emmys might see it one way (ALL the maids in Devious Maids are lead?! True Detective as a drama series?) I was left with spaces to fill and harsh decisions to make.
