Ah television, the (almost) love of my life. I have spent so much time over the course of my years watching television and this year was no exception. Making this post however was actually quite a struggle given that I’ve actually shaved down the amount of TV I watch since I got to grad school. That and the fact that during the summer, there was only one show worth watching (The Fall) and I caught that way back in May. Anyways, I did manage to come up with a Top 10 TV shows of the season so far list that doesn’t suck so here it is.
There might not be a show I’m more excited for right now than HBO’s Looking and every trailer we get just increases the love. We finally get our 2nd official trailer for the show. Since the series is just around the corner (Jan 19!) I decided to watch the trailer and jot down some thoughts.
I managed to miss Orphan Black when it was first airing on TV but thanks to the wonders of On Demand I was able to watch all of the episodes in the past two weeks. My goodness is this a great show. It’s scifi without being super technical, the world building and characters are incredibly sharp, and Tatiana Maslany can act her ass off. Needless to say, I’m glad I waited this long to watch the show because the wait won’t be as long for the next season. Today, BBC America dropped the first teaser trailer for the second season of the hit show. Peep it after the jump!
Can I just say that I have terrible enabling friends? Last night I took some time out of my day to listen to the soundtrack for the TV version of The Sound of Music, debuting tomorrow and I was perplexed at the noises I was hearing and the struggle it was for certain members of the cast to sing the songs. My friend Courtney who is a terrible awful person and knows how much of a terrible person I am suggested I write a post about who they could have cast instead. I tried to rebuke this but then fellow blogger Brittney Bell suggested it seems like a legit post and like a weed the idea grew in my brain. I only have limited amounts of nice to give and my ears were not pleased with this music so here I am to name off 5 people who should have played Maria von Trapp instead of Carrie Underwood.
Well damn. That’s about the best way to respond to tonight’s epiosde of American Horror Story: Coven. I thought I was beyond being shocked and disgusted given how last season prepared me for all sorts of foolishness but this episode just went deeper and got more fucked up the longer the episode went. So let’s dig into “The Replacements” shall we!
Listen y’all American Horror Story: Coven is EVERYTHING. Did yall catch tonight’s episode? Whew “Boy Parts” was one part foolishness, two parts sexy times and seventy five parts amazing salvage from Jessica Lange, Angela Bassett and Kathy Bates. Just a great episode all around and here are my thoughts.
