Yeah, Okay, I Watch This Show Now.

Let’s talk Teen Wolf - (I can’t believe I just typed those words). I just finished S1! It took longer than I thought, mostly because there were so many summer shows I watched this year, but also because this show does start out kind of slow. It is very teen soap opera (with werewolves!) at the start and it took awhile for me to get into it. But

Revolution is not the greatest show and I am not head-over-heels about it, but it is solid, which is more than I can say for most shows in the early days of their freshman year. They really didn't waste much time on the blahblah-explanation of the world and the characters get a litle more interesting with each episode. I think that is the big draw for me - so many shows start out great and go downhill from there, but Revolution actually seems to be going uphill, so I'm sticking with it for now. The flashbacks were something they weren't going to do at first but decided to try. I really like them because I want to see more post-blackout stuff so I am onboard with all the flashbacks.

I totally get having trouble seeing a character as a good guy when you only know him as a baddie (though Idk if I would call Miles a 'good' guy but certainly not a creepy killer). I think it was Mark Pellegrino on an episode of Criminal Minds and I was like, "He did it. He's the devil," and I couldn't be swayed from that thought through the whole episode.

I really have no interest in Nashville except for that Eric Close is on it - I love him. So then I considered trying it out just for him but it conflicts with something else (can't remember what now) that I want to watch more, so no Nashville for me. You'll have to let me know how it is though - maybe I'l catch up later.

Teen Wolf is so ridiculous and yet I can't stop watching. I am ashamed of myself but at least it finally got past the ridiculous soap opera stage and into some serious drama. It does inspire a lot of fic writing, it's true. The characters are just made to be played with. But it's a very young feeling show. I think I just latched onto it because I have that guilty pleasure love of bad high school dramas (One Tree Hill anyone?). Though I hear season two gets less teen soap opera, so maybe it'll stop making me feeling like I have to watch it in secret. It is making me happy though, that's for sure.
