(no subject)
OK, I pretty much never post on LJ any more (I've moved to tumblr and goodreads, same user name) but I felt like making my 'here is what I will be trying in the 2013-14 TV season' post here for some reason.
So, let's see.
Arrow (CW) - I miss Oliver and his angsty dysfunction and his delicious muscles. I am way behind though and need to catch up.
Beauty and the Beast (CW) - they are finally doing some romance, so I will probably tune in.
Black Sails (Starz): pirates!!!
Defiance (SyFy) - duh.
Dracula (NBC) - sex on legs that is Jonathan Rhys Myers as Dracula in Victorian England? I think the trailer made me faint:
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland (ABC) - I dumped OUAT as it got boring and with too many characters, but the trailer looks delicious:
Reign (CW) - CW wants its own Tudors, aka Mary Queen of Scots goes to France. I read the script for the pilot and there is no resemblance to historical events or characters (they are making the feeble, teeny Francis II into a CW stud! One of Mary's ladies in waiting is named Lola! The future Henri III is referred to as 'Hank', and there is a sexy illegitimate half-brother of Francis to compete for Mary's affections, since clearly CW loves a Vampire Diaries formula!) I fail to see why they don't just invent a country/characters out of wholesale cloth and run with it. BUT! Period costumes! Gorgeous people! Gorgeous shirtless people! That hot guy that was Culpepper from the Tudors as the sexy halfbrother (presumably with more clothes on this time)! Catherine di Medici poisoning people and Nostradamus prophesying all over the place! I am there.
Here is Mary with sexy!Francis (any resemblance to real Francis is purely coincidental):
And here she is with scruffy halfbrother of Francis (the actor seems to be making a career out of lusting after Queens):
The Walking Dead (AMC) - I am currently in the middle of the first season, and I am loving it, gruesome though it may be. It's smart and character-driven. I am sure I will catch up by the time s4 airs.
The White Queen (Starz) - My most anticipated. Someone has made a show about Elizabeth Woodville, Anne Neville and Margaret Beaufort (and Edward IV, Richard III and Henry VII, by extension). OMFG this is heaven and how did I end up in it? Please please do not make Richard III evil, is all I ask. Please!
