TV commentary:

Community- The GIJoe parody was awesome. And really freaking accurate! I mean, since it was drawn in the vein of GIJoe and wasn't using original footage with their stuff inserted in, I applaud them for getting the details right- the uniforms, the vehicles. They didn't do any shortcuts and just draw vehicles that look like they were from GIJoe, they drew the actual ones. The Cobras were flying trouble bubbles, rattlers, night ravens, firebats, the opening battle even had them in hurricanes. The fact that they not only drew the real things, but they actually had variety to me shows dedication to the parody.

Like the intro:



They manage to do a really good pastiche of several of the intros throughout the cartoon's history.

And that is why to me Community, is hands down a way better geek show than friggin BBT. Big Bang Theory, they make fun of nerds and geeks. Its all, "here's this nerdy thing, let's have a silly conversation about it where we act real nerdy!" Its basically, "Ha, look at what nerds these nerds are!" Community on the other had, makes clever references to geek stuff without poking fun at it.

OUAT: Wonderland- Oh, thank goodness! With them being canceled, I was worried we'd end on some unresolved cliffhanger. Though I suppose with OUAT existing, they could always wrap things up there, like X-Files did with both Millenium and the Lone Gunmen. I hear PLL is going to do that with Ravenswood.

But I digress, I suppose they knew the writing was on the wall, so they got to resolve the series nice and neat. spoiler cut )

Suits- Hmm, so Mike's chose his lot. spoiler cut )

Ah, I can't believe TWoP is shutting down! It feels like the end of an era! I will confess though, the number of recaps I read there had been dwindling. I read them more for the snark than the actual recaps. And their PLL/Ravenswood and OUAT recaps were great, a good blend of funny without being hateful. Other shows I watch that they recap though, it went from snark to downright hate. Its like, if you despise the show that much, why are you writing about it? People poking fun is fun to read, them being negative nancies is not. Other times, its because a recapper for a particular show is just kinda boring, like the recap was not interesting at all.

Owel, I guess there's always TV.com and After Ellen. Like Price Peterson does hilarious photo recaps for TVD and Teen Wolf. And LilyRoRoSparks does the same thing for OUAT. And Heather Hogan's PLL recaps are just as enjoyable as Jacob's from TWoP. Plus her Glee-caps aren't as hateful as the TWoP ones. And Lucy Hallowell does good recaps for the Fosters, which TWoP doesn't even cover.

And while not really recaps, Warming Glow (Uproxx TV) does amusing gifs for the latest eps of The Walking Dead, Justified, Archer, Community and Parks and Rec. So, there's still entertaining TV-related websites to read after seeing the eps out there. Its still sad that TWoP is dunzo though.

Hmm, I just realized a lot of recappers (at least the ones I enjoy) are either gay men or women. Is this sort of thing not a straight male activity?

Vampire Diaries- spoiler cut )

Suits- spoiler cut )

OUAT: Wonderland- So, they did say the Series Finale is next week. I just hope it ends not on a cliffhanger. Or if they do, they manage to work out some sort of closure in the normal show. I did hear that since Ravenswood was canceled, they were going to wrap things up on PLL. spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

Vampire Diaries- Just a couple more comments, that I was reminded of from Price Peterson's always amusing TVD photo recaps. Heh, part of the enjoyment of the shows I watch are reading the TWoP recaps later (well, for some shows), TV.com's photo recaps for shows like TVD/Originals and OUAT/OUATIW and AfterEllen's Glee recaps. But I digress. spoiler cut )

OUAT: Wonderland- Hey, that chick, Lizard is totes cute! spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

OUAT- Captain Hook back story. Interesting, where exactly is he from? spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

The Vampire Diaries- Heh, I sometimes forget that characters don't have all the information we the audience have. spoiler cut )

OUAT: Wonderland- Is it me, or is Alice kinda cute? Heh, and OUAT finally pulls out a Star Wars reference. I mean, I wasn't sure if Disney was going to make use of the property in the OUAT universe, but they name drop the Sarlaac. spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

OUAT: Wonderland- So, I guess this ep is mostly exposition, to make you care why Alice needs to find Cyrus? I mean, they are definitely sweet together. But I'm also liking the vibe between her and the Knave. I mean, he admits he's not a "good" guy, but he kinda is. Also, I did not realize he's being played by the brother of the actress who played Kelly on Misfits. He is at least somewhat easier to understand than his sister.

Owel, clever girl. spoiler cut )
