Despite the million and one cancellations, the 2012-2013 TV season was pretty spectacular. Next week are the Emmy nominations and you’ll be able to see my fake Emmy ballot next week, but I thought we were due for a bit more introspection regarding the TV season. So now, without further ado, here are the top 10 moments from the past year in TV!
We have reached the halfway point of the 1st 12 episodes of this 3rd season of Teen Wolf and my word did they mollywhop us with “Motel California.” Micah and I are back to recap one of the best hours of Teen Wolf ever, breaking down the highs and lows of what happens when our beloved characters head to a creepy motel and Derek finds love lust in a hopeless place. We also chat about some fun fan theories and take stock of where the season has gone so far. Be sure to listen the whole way through, there’s a surprise at the end. Dig in!
Never, in all of the history of Teen Wolf, has an episode been so hyped as “Motel California.” We were told it would be dark, make us cry and scream, and is the first episode in 3 seasons to receive a Viewers Discretion tag at the front of it. And man did it live up to the creepiness. Tonight’s episode showed what happens when people stop being polite and start experiencing really creepy shit.
I am assuming, by now at least, you all have attempted to read the lengthy article written at the Daily Dot about why slashtivism, particularly Sterek slash shipping, is hurting Teen Wolf fans. It’s a ballsy piece stating the definitions of slash, how Teen Wolf fits in, and why the author thinks it’s problematic for the Sterek shippers to take over a show. After making my way through this article, some thoughts formulated in my mind so here they are.
It’s been a pretty slow Monday here at the blog cause I’m trying to get ready for Comic-Con, moving, and preparing my spirit for an epic episode of Teen Wolf. But speaking of Comic-Con, did you guys see that the full schedule is up? I am very excited to attend again so I decided to pull together a sample schedule of what I might like to see. And just like last year it’s madness. Please take a look at what I will be doing for the 4 days and preview night.
Ah EBT…I mean BET. The network developed by Black people for Black people that is now owned by Viacom used to be known for having strong shows like Comic View, BET Uncut and 106 & Park with Free and Ajay. However, lately the network has come under fire for its lack luster award shows, ruining of The Game, and just a general decline in quality. But things seem to be looking up for the network. Their latest award show wasn’t a complete disaster and Being Mary Jane premiered to great critical acclaim and a massive audience. I happened to catch the show the day after it premiered and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was and decided to list 5 reasons why it could be a hit for the network.
