Next season talk Glee, Law & Order: SVU casting
For the show that I would not put on my all time favourites I have a strange way of showing and dealing with it huh? But oh, well, here I am after earlier today I found some 'news/spoilers/possibilties' about the next season. This whole post will be less fandom type squee than it might have been. I also found a casting article relating to Law & Order: SVU's next season. So let's get on with it.
Glee.
Please read these two articles here and here (well the relevant Glee season 3 talk) and then you can jump below. Obviously spoilers or theory and speculation talk in the links and my post behind the cut.
-Okay.
Now you're here the only plot or character point I hope to state is that I'm kind of glad that they're just sticking with Santana being a lesbian.
Now. People are going all "OMG THEY CAN'T CUT *insert character name or actor*" but now I'm not talking about that. For what it’s worth I don't think the creator's and even the new writer's will do a horrible job, sure some lower points (and those again vary on an individual basis) but even if they do do something that is my last 'straw' I'll just stop watching it, vent on here for a while, and/or phase it out of my life. Whatever, no big deal.
And as I said above, which I realised in the shower (yes, I had a few moments thinking and re-thinking what I wanted to say in this post about the 'news', the later SVU article which resulted in me almost laughing out loud and falling over. Dangerous stuff thinking.) well what I decided was that even with the moments of high pleasure and things from Glee it’s never (and I know never say never but with these first 2 seasons at least maybe it'll change but I doubt it) and I mean never going to be on my top shows list. It's never going to be a "If you only had ten shows to watch episodes from for the rest of your life list" I think I'd be hard pressed to put it anywhere on my TV list, I'd probably put almost every show I've seen and/or followed at some point in my life above it. Except maybe The Defenders which I'm currently watching on TV here, but even then it’s a hard choice between music which makes me happy because I seem to gravitate towards that high school musical sound or having Belushi and O'Connell on my screens (both of whom I love but I have no idea why they signed on for that crack-pot. Perhaps the usual 'money' but perhaps they felt the need for something so bad that they could say their other work was excellent. Anyway I’m getting side-tracked sorry if anyone's reading this...).
So yes, Ryan Murphy mentioned a few things that might happen next season in Glee which I wouldn't be against, and possibly some that I mightn't like but whatever. *shrugs* That's how television works the viewers can't run every shot, that's called a game. (Also, if there does turn out to be a MMORG in a Harry Potter universe that'd be awesome and I might try it out!!)
So. Sorry, my brain's wired everywhere tonight it seems.
What I wanted to talk about was the creator's "endgame". Perhaps its because I've always been interested in which creators already have an idea of where they want their show to go if it ever begins but I also liken it to the authors that I've read who the majority of them have detailed plans and already know the main points on their endgame (plot) when they're writing their first or second installment.
"As a result, he and co-creator Brad Falchuk have decided to point the show toward the exact endgame Murphy envisioned when he first pitched Glee more than three years ago."
This also piqued my curiosity because well, you know that article about the original concept. (I cannot find the link borg_princess or anyone that does know of it, do you still have the small article that talked about how it was originally a much darker show?) The one before these two creatives came together was more ala Nip/Tuck, Black Books, or even a bit of a grittier expose of something like the Teachers UK show? Where in the first scenes on an episode it wouldn't be amiss to have a crude shot of a barely dressed female student pressed up against the wall of the photocopying room with her Geomotery teacher going at it full pelt... (I think you get the picture no need for me to actually *write* that scene now is there?)
So, where' this "endgame" come from? Is it when he first pitched the idea solo? Or when they first pitched the idea together after it was tweaked? If it’s the latter was the other guy anywhere on board his original ideas obviously there had to be some overlap in the thought process to allow them to work together to make it work but how much? What is this endgame?!? Is it focusing on the characters (perhaps Rachel & maybe Kurt now that they have his character more fleshed out) trying to make it on Broadway -and I'm sure they are hoping to do a spin-off depending on their Glee endgame. Or do they want to focus on an adult's life (Will) making it (life) happen all over again? If it was the darker version I'd have said Rachel & Will got it on and it kept going or came back when Rachel pops in and out of his life again from her life in NY... but with the large teen base now following as a cult type of phenomenon I highly doubt that's a possibility as they’re in the media and public's eye too much. When the different kids from Glee graduate some can still flitter in and out of the show like Holly, Emma, Terri, Figgins, and even now Sue tend to do.
But really. All I want to know is what their ENDGAME is! *headdesk*
I really (at this stage) care who it’s about if their endgame is Sue falling in love with Beiste I don't care, or even the horrifying idea (for me) of Rachel & Finn together forever <3.... I just want to know who's end game Murphy's? Falchuk's? Both??
~~~
Glad that's done with!
Onwards to both the pretty and more crack!ideas. The one that almost made me fall over in the shower...
So they are doing screen tests and chemistry tests for the space Meloni leaves in the show see the guys here.
I would love to be in that room when David Conrad tests with Mariska! Haha. But even though I love the idea of Conrad being on my screens again, no, sadly I don't think he could play any character that would fit. (Please, prove me wrong David please by all means BURN the screen tests with Mariska! If only to see me wrong!) The ones I'd be interested in seeing play a character opposite Benson are Michael Raymond-James (Terriers), Danny Pino (Cold Case) and Rhys Coiro (Entourage). I hardly know their names but I kind of recognise them. I know the Cold Case dude more than the others. But all this speculating is moot when Benson will hardly even be there after half the season!
But with the news in that side article they are no longer getting Jennifer Love-Hewitt for a new female lead. Oh, and wouldn't it be brilliant if they just made off with the male detective idea totally and got Benson a female partner!? :)
Anyway, my funny moment in the shower? Was me realising what if they *had* hired Love-Hewitt? And David Conrad! Hahah. It would be like Ghost Whisperer in Law & Order: SVU. Then I thought wait! What happens if you had a show like SVU added a few characters like Ghost Whisperer and hey presto! You have the newest worst crackiest show in history. XD
I know rape and murder and things like that aren't nice topics, but have a ghost whisperer who ends up having to work with a SVU team because she gets all these unfortunate ghosts that witness the rapes/murders (and yes sometimes the victim can turn up as a ghost to help -or hinder too). Of course they think that the whisperer/medium did the murders/rapes at first but when they happen during interviews with the person they can't help but believe here etc. I'm sorry, I must have a horribly ruined self to imagine this kind of show and laugh in the shower. :/ But it just seems like pure crack to me. I'm sure you could also make it a comedy/drama eg. Dramedy with the awkward scenes that could ensue during the investigations…
Oh dear god I’m going to hell.
Also, we're still about five eps or so away from SVU's finale. So NO SPOILERY COMMENTS PEOPLE. Please. :)
