*BONUS VIDEO!* True Blood: Godric

When I was talking about True Blood in my last video, I COMPLETELY forgot to talk about one of my favorite story lines of all time. I am so ashamed. As soon as I found out, I immediately shot another separate video just for him.

I just have a lot of feelings, okay?

*NEW VIDEO!* Let's Talk About: True Blood

This is another one of those shows that I just avoided at all cost. One day, my sister told me to at least watch the very first episode (she was still mad that I had gotten her hooked on the Twilight books).

I made it about 2 minutes in before I shut it off and then walked away. It was so BAD. The accents were horrible (I live in the south and hearing it every day is bad enough, but these people were MURDERING an already bad sound and it just hurt my brain), the acting was terrible, and it was YET ANOTHER vampire show to crop up form the craze that swept the world a few years ago and has still yet to end. I wanted nothing to do with it.

But I finally sat back down (after about a week) and made it through the first episode. Ugh.

I kept watching because my sister still liked to make me feel guilty about the Twilight thing and then FINALLY we got to the good stuff. And by "good stuff" I, of course, mean the first appearance of Eric Northman. Hellllloooooooo......

I'LL TAKE IT!

I decided to read the books sometime after that and... Ugh. Again. It's horrible. It is just horrible literature (much like the Twilight books), but there is just something about it. You know that you are going to hate every moment of it, but you just have to keep reading to see what trash the writer is going to come up with next.

I went through all of the Twilight books just waiting for steamy, sparkly vampire sex... Nope. Not a damn word.

I went through this, hoping for... Well, I don't really now what I was hoping. Something astounding.

I'm still waiting.

*NEW VIDEO!* Let's Talk About: Teen Wolf

Why did I let myself get dragged into this?

Why do I let Tumblr pull me in to things that I previously had no interest in?

(Ew, that last one ended in a preposition...)

P.S. It should be noted that I made and edited this video before the last two episodes aired so there might be some changes that I would have made if I hadn't already jumped in with both feet trying to get some videos down and ready in case I forgot to film one week and needed back-ups.

The spot for least favorite episode would have DEFINITELY gone to the "The Fox and the Wolf" because that episode bored me to death. The flashbacks about the Nogitsune took WAAAAAYYYYY longer than they needed to and I just really wanted to see some more evil!Stiles, because apparently that has become the driving force in my life.

There were also some shots in last night's episode that I DEFINITELY would have added to the collection of pictures of evil!Stiles giving his evil looks (the ones that make certain parts of me do the rumba).

Why do I love the hollow-cheeked, drugged-out, dark under-eye circles look on him so much?!?!

Derek looks good with it, too...

*NEW VIDEO!* Let's Talk About: Hannibal

I'm going to have to come up with something to do for the pictures from now on. I got a copyright notice. WHAT THE HELL ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? I use, like, 2 seconds of a picture just to illustrate who I'm talking about. Ugh, whatever.

Anyway. Hannibal.

I kinda didn't want to watch this show because my heart and soul will always belong to Sir Anthony Hopkins, but on a whim, after season one had already ended and Tumblr would not shut up about it, I picked it up and OH MY GOD...

The visuals in the show are amazing and beautiful, plus they REALLY don't skip on the violence and carnage. I think for something with this subject matter, that's a really important thing.  It's beautifully acted by everyone in the cast and I have to now admit that Mads has stolen my heart in his portrayal of Dr. Lecter.

Two severed thumbs up. Would watch again.

Let's Talk About: Once Upon A Time (November 26, 2013)

YAY! This is the last catch-up post for the video blog! Everything from here on out shall be new stuff only! Woooo!!!

There are some videos that are in between the last one posted and this one, but they are both really short and not really that important.  It's mostly just me talking about how lazy I am for not making videos.

Job Update vlog (October 15, 2013)

My Pseudo Job (October 29, 2013)

And then there's this one.

I reeeeaaalllllyyyyy didn't want to watch this show. Seriously, if it wasn't for my roommate sitting me down and forcing me to watch, I would not be where I am today.  It took me a while to warm up to it, but once I did (I admit, it was mostly Rumplestiltskin) I absolutely loved it.

This was posted before the season finale, and having seen the teaser for the next season, I CANNOT WAIT!

Let's Talk About: Sons of Anarchy (October 8, 2013)

Getting into this show was actually because of a mistake.  For some reason, I thought that the main character was played by Ben Foster (for whom I carry a huge torch) and that's why I started watching.

I am an idiot.

When I found out that it was actually Charlie Hunnam, who I knew nothing about, I decided to do some research and found out he was the Justin character in the UK version of 'Queer As Folk'... 

Not to mention Opie was the guy from Remember the Titans!

Count. Me. In.

Note: This was posted before the season finale. I had to pick my jaw up off the floor.

Let's Talk About: Sherlock (August 27, 2013)

Like so many other of the shows I love, I did not want to watch this one.  I thought it was a stupid idea, I thought BennyBatch was ugly and had a stupid name, and I wanted nothing to do with this at all.

Now I want to show you some of the Twitter/Facbook reaction posts I made while watch the FIRST EPISODE...

1. "Okay. Fine. I'm going to start watching BBC's Sherlock with the Cucumberpatch guy... *siiiiiiiiiigh*"
2. "UGH! I was not supposed to like this show. I resigned myself to hating it... WHY WON'T MOFFET LET ME HATE IT?!?! ::shakes fist::"
3. "::whimpers:: I wasn't supposed to like it..."
4. "His eyes are continuously moving. They're never still... And he always has this affronted look on his face, as if everything offends him..."
5. "WHAT IS THIS SHOW DOING TO ME?!?! #Sherlock"
6. "Showing Mom Sherlock."

Yeah. All that was in the first hour.  Two things got me: Riding crop. Voice.

Note the date: This was posted to my YouTube before season 3 aired so just keep that in mind.

*SPECIAL EDITION* Let's Talk About: Tombstone (August 13, 2013)

I decided to put my big sister in my vlog. We like talking about Tombstone. We like talking about the mustaches of Tombstone. Who doesn't?

I'm your huckleberry...

Let's Talk About: Queer As Folk [US] (August 6, 2013)

My friend Jessica really got me into this show.  It was really nice of her to give me her copy of season 1 while we were going through stuff in her house.  She and I still talk about this show in terms of characters' hair styles and who's dating who.  Like, I'll see a hot guy and say "He has really great hair!" and she'll ask "Season 2 Justin hair or Season 4 Justin hair?"

We're awesome like that.

Jessica, if you're reading this, we need to have a marathon so you can disagree with me for not shipping Brian/Justin with you.

*NEW VIDEO!* Let's Talk About: Brothers & Sisters

While the details are unclear as to how I got into this show (though I'm pretty sure it ended up being because of the chick from 'Six Feet Under' with a whole lot of Sally Field faces as a bonus.)

And even though my mother and I have sworn to hate Calista Flockhart 5ever because she had the audacity to marry Harrison Ford (on whom my mother has a gigantic school girl crush) I really loved Ally McBeal, so she kinda has a special place in my heart.

At first, this show just confused the hell out of me because there were so many people and I had to remember all of their names and ugh! Plus, it was just like a big huge soap opera with people dying and cheating on everyone, and secret siblings who are then not siblings, and then more secret siblings... It's usually not something that I would watch voluntarily (I am not counting the time in high school when I started watching 'As The World Turns,' don't judge me).

It's weird, but I never really got bored with the show. Even with all of the sharks they jumped, I was still in it until the end.

Let's Talk About: Star Trek [TOS] (July 30, 2013)

I can remember as a little girl, my brother and dad would love to watch the Star Trek movies and talk about the shows.  I, being the annoying little shit that I was (am), chalked it up to stupid boy sci-fi stuff and went back to... whatever the hell I was interested in in those days. New Kids on the Block or something (but I can't really joke about that because I still like them, damnit).

It's a sad story to tell, but it wasn't until the 2009 reboot that I really started to get to know the characters and wanted to know more about where they came from.  I piled through all that I could: books, comics, the original show, movies, fanfiction, Enterprise schematics, Klingon language tutorials, Vulcan anatomy websites (THOSE were interesting)...

I should now probably seek rehab.

(Note: since posting this video, I have decided to give TNG a second chance.  It probably has everything to do with Wil Wheaton's book Just A Geek, but I'll never admit it.)

Let's Talk About: Heroes (July 16, 2013)

I am notorious for not even wanting to watch shows because my first impressions of them (whether it be from commercials or word of mouth from my friends or the internet) are usually ones of "Ugh, no. That sounds stupid."

I am almost always wrong.

Also, I kind of have that curse, where when I finally DO get into a show...

...it gets cancelled.

*NEW VIDEO!* Let's Talk About: Firefly

This was one of those shows that I thought was going to be stupid because, seriously, cowboys in space?  Yeah, THAT sounded weird to me.  Not to mention, I think I was still really upset that Buffy and Angel were gone, that I just kind of never forgave Joss Whedon and didn't want to give him any more chances to break my heart.

And then I watched it.

So I pretty much gave Joss ALL THE CHANCES to break my heart. And he took them. He took them all and used them to the best of his ability, which is considerable, and I have not been the same since.

People ask me why I ship Simon/Jayne... And I really can't give a good answer other than they are exact opposites. They hate each other to the extent that I think it's just overcompensating for some other deep dark feeling that both of them either can't identify (Jayne) or are too afraid to admit to anyone let alone themselves (Simon).

But maybe I just read too much into things.

I could find NO videos specifically for Simon/Jayne on YouTube. If someone finds any, please please please send them on over so I can add then to my collection.

Let's Talk About: Buffy (July 2, 2013)

This was one of my very first obsessions ever in the entire world.  This was my window into not only the Whedon-verse, but also the nerd culture in general.  It was the very first show I became more than passionate about (I would turn off the phone, lock the doors, and not speak to anyone on Tuesday nights while it aired) and it sparked my interest in something that has become a HUGE part of my life (whether that is a good thing or not); fanfiction.

Also, yeah, I play with toys.

Don't judge me.

*NEW VIDEO!* Let's Talk About: Six Feet Under

I decided to weave the new videos in with the old ones in here so that when everything is caught up, everything is REALLY caught up and I wouldn't have to postpone putting up these new videos just because I hadn't finished posting the older ones.

This week's video goes to one of my very favorite shows in the whole world, Six Feet Under.  I was late, VERY LATE, getting into the show (like, it had already ended late) but that doesn't mean I don't absolutely adore it.

I don't think there was any part of this show that I did not enjoy (except some characters). But was far as the story and the plot... I liked it all. I loved the style of the show, with the death at the beginning and then a sort of themed story that went with it. Some of the guest stars were fantastic (Zachary Quinto, Chris Pine... though sadly, not in the same episode).

AND BEN FOSTER! Who could forget Ben Foster! Also one of my favorite parts of the show.

Seriously, if you have not seen Six Feet Under, please do.

Let's Talk About: Supernatural (June 25, 2013)

I still haven't really figured out how I am going to catch up on all the vlogs I've already done while still maintaining to try and do new ones every week or so.  I think I might split some time between doing book vlogs and TV vlogs just to give me some time to actually watch the shows and read the books that I would like to talk about.

So, I'm going to start scheduling some of these past videos to be posted here on a regular basis (probably Mondays and Tuesdays) just until all are up to date and I can start posting the new things as I upload them so they are fresh and I don't have to worry about scheduling any more.

Horror movie catch-ups will be happening every Friday for a while until all those are caught up, but then they will be happening one at a time like they are on my Facebook.  I know, the suspense will kill you, right?

Right.

Anyway, so here is the very first 'Let's Talk About' I did.  Keep in mind, this was before season 9 had started and I am also really shitty at talk. But, you might have already known that.

I fucking love this show.  I hope it goes on forever and ever and ever and the fanfiction never stops.
