Let's talk television.

++ New show alert: Longmire. Originally started watching because of Katee Sackhoff, but the show itself is pretty damn amazing. The story gripped me right from the pilot, from the story of Walt Longmire having to piece his life back together after a year of dealing with his wife suddenly passing away, and the little things that you see him struggle with while trying to prove that he's still fit for being sheriff. I just really like the style, the look of the show, the characters and just the overall feel of the story being told. And Katee's character, Vic, is just plain awesome.

++ I've decided to watch Elementary. My previous concerns on how the show will be handled in the long-run are still valid, but with all the unnecessary drama and wanking (read: racism and sexism) happening amongst the people in fandom and online in general, I've just had enough. Never mind reading what has been said from the creators at SDCC and of what people have said after viewing the pilot from the event, I've been more than reassured of the show in general, and I'm hoping CBS doesn't screw this up. Also, Lucy Liu. ♥ ♥ ♥

++ Warehouse 13 season four premieres this Monday. It honestly snuck up on me. Of course, I'm used to my summer shows premiering around the same time and for some reason Syfy has done something weird with their scheduling. Eureka just finished off with their series finale, WH13 is premiering very soon, and Haven won't be premiering it's third season until this fall. Idk whether this is good or bad, but this is Syfy. When has their sense of scheduling ever made sense?

++ Everyone apparently is getting into Teen Wolf. I haven't watched it (yet) but I can honestly say that I am living the experience vicariously through Tumblr, and somehow I've gotten attached to certain characters. Like, I haven't even watched the show yet and there's these sudden feelings for them. What the hell is going on? :O

++ I love Pretty Little Liars, but the fandom makes me want headdesk so hard. Mostly the people I've seen on Tumblr. Just, seriously. -__-

Besides Derek and Stiles, I have a fondness for Lydia. From what I've seen via Tumblr I think she's adorable. Also much love for Stiles' dad.

I also love the whole wolf pack togetherness as recently shown in one of the recent episodes. I've been reading all the meta that's come out from it and just seeing how these misfit pack-mates can form a little family (Stiles included, apparently he's the "mom" of the group, lol) is just amazing. I haven't seen anything of the show yet and already I'm loving the dynamic and how they've written things like that. idk idk idk

OMG the "pack thing" is also my FAVORITE part of the show!!! LOL especially in the most recent ep, OH GOD it was perfect. It's like, you got all these misfits as a group together and one minute they're all hating on each other, saying they don't trust each other, and the next they don't want the others to get hurt and go all the way to protect each other. IT IS GLORIOUS. I can't tell you how much I love that dynamic.

I am actually surprised myself by how much I've gone from zero to completely obsessed with this show, when I first started watching I definitely did not expect it to happen (I was kinda worried about tumblr having ~overhyped the whole thing already) but yeah the first ep was great and from then on there was no way I could stop...just so you're prepared if you ever start actually watching it haha ;)

I'm very attracted to those kinds of dynamics. A kind of created family of individuals who are so different and are quite dysfunctional together, yet it's because of those dysfunctions that make them work. So knowing that is in the show, that we see them forming into this little pack family, kind of makes me happy.

I think my reservations at first was definitely the overhyped thing, and also because it airs on MTV (a.k.a. the cesspool of teen stupidity.) I didn't understand why people would be watching the show, until most recently when everyone started getting into it. And now I know why.

Idk when I'll be watching it, since I have too many shows to watch as it is. But I can trust my faithful Tumblr peeps on keeping me informed with the goodness of what is happening. ;)
