I have a double-digit list of posts I want to make but no time in which to write them up. :( Yet, I am feeling chatty today so I will post something completely useless ( Read more... )

vampire diaries, community, smallville, television, true blood

I watched Hellcats last night and it was better than I had expected ( ... )

tended to use expository dialog more than show things
Waaah, I hate that device! It's the scourge of American TV.

I feel I will like the cheer routines. :) Oh god, Glee with cheerleaders was NOT a good way to sell it to me though, as I hate Glee. :/ Perhaps I can just turn the sound down? o.O

I actually have this terrible fear I'm going to LIKE IT. That's almost scarier! /o\

Well, maybe I shouldn't have compared it to Glee. I've never seen it. The very idea seems too saccharine sweet to me.

However, according to what Thomas has said in the press, he said cheer routines will play a very big part in the show and there will be one major one in every episode. So, like Glee, it will have a 'number' toward the end of each outing.

The music was current too, so like Smallville in days of old. It surprised me how many current pop tunes they played throughout the episode.

I say give it a try and see how you like it.

It's produced by Tom Welling, after all. And he's perfect, so maybe the show will improve because I can't imagine anything he does devolving.

It should only get better and better as time passes.

Yes, Glee way too sweet for me.

I watched Hellcats last night and... wow, I hate the lead (both the character and the actress) so passionately I don't know how I'll continue. The soundtrack was rocking though, yes. I felt it needed more cheerleading. :p So it's good to hear there will be a cheer routine per ep.

Well, she's also the one that looks like she's 35 instead of 25...

I hope she doesn't get grating, but I see what you mean.

The soundtrack is very good, I will like the show just for that if I can work past her.

Yes, true. I can only assume she got hired for her body? Ah well, we shall see how it settles. Pilots are often rocky. If they tone back the voiceover and develop the other characters it could improve.
