Media thoughts from someone pseudo trained to have them
I’m about to break any illusion you may have about me being cool by admitting that I was exactly the right age to have Supernatural devour my brain at the ripe old age of twelve and as such I’ve never known peace. And while I might’ve been five when the show first premiered, it was…
I can only really write about my own personal taste, partially because I’m far more entertaining when I’m talking about things I like and partially because… well, it’s my blog and I do what I want, and Torchwood is my most… not quite sacred (I try not to hold anything too sacred these days, my…
Messy does seem to be an understatement considering the, now thankfully resolved strikes, streaming service meltdowns, and the general undervaluation of art. But messy contains multitudes, much like the one season wonder on the docket. For the vast majority of you who passed on this series while it was airing figuring you’d wait for it…
I think at the end of the day, I feel bad for Agents of SHIELD. A show that was partially spawned into existence because the fans got so attached to a minor, pseudo joke, background character killed in the first Avengers movie that they filled out petition after petition to bring him back. Because this…
If it hasn’t become obvious yet, the easiest ways to get a piece of media to be my favorite is to either: To the surprise of no one, Cowboy Bebop has all three. The Pitch: four bounty hunters must try to survive if never thriving in a future where humanity has gone out into the…
White Collar is one of those “of the moment” shows that still feels good to watch fourteen years later. Which is saying something since it’s a procedural at its core. The Pitch: Neal Caffery, art thief and con man, negotiates his way to a work release after breaking himself out of prison to go find…
There are shows that are good, there are shows that are bad, there are shows that are your favorites, and then there are shows that can’t help but be formative. Once Upon a Time is one of the latter. As much as I like to pretend I didn’t dedicate an insane amount of mental energy…
I think I will stop having thoughts about M*A*S*H when I die. And even then I’ll still annoy whoever comes to collect me with my ever swirling brain matter about my emotional support dramedy. I’ve waxed poetic about why M*A*S*H means so much to me before (which you can find here) and the best summary…
Two things right off the bat, the first is that the title is sort of a clickbait lie. Shoresy does a lot of things very well, but I only wanna focus on one or two. The other thing is that I’m writing this mostly before I have access to season two so most of my…
There are certain things that you have to wonder if they were spawned into existence just to appeal to you specifically. It’s always a little strange when it happens, wondering if someone poked into your psyche and hit print. It’s especially weird when said thing was made when you were only three and didn’t even…
