SO I’ve been quietly and quickly building up my Nerd Cred these past few weeks by barreling through Battlestar Galactica, and I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want spoilers (and I didn’t get a single one!!! take THAT, internet!). HOWEVER, I finally finished it last night and uh…I have some thoughts.
…unfortunately, I can’t actually form any of these thoughts into words so here’s a photo essay on my viewing experience.
So my Place of Work (i.e. Hulu’s The Morning After) hosted this Underground Emmys awards thing, and it turns out that the online Castle contingent is a SERIOUS force to be reckoned with and they swept every drama category (and got nominated in the comedy ones too because the Castle Army is nothing if not thorough).
Long story short: this video contains Nathan Fillion, buddy cop faux rivalries, Stana Katic crying in a prom dress (her idea) and bonus Danny Pudi hosting his first ever “Quilts and Milk” acceptance speech because obviously he would (and again, his idea).
Long story shorter: watch this!

(…and yes, it’s on Hulu which means it’s U.S. only but if U.S. tumblrs don’t gif the shit out of this I will have to reevaluate my entire stance on Tumblr)
Think the laugh track’s dead? The punchy ladycops of Rizzoli and Isles beg to differ!

TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR
Or…a lot of us have been waiting for, at least. Tonight, Sarah Michelle Gellar makes her return to television in the new CW series, Ringer.
As if her return was not enough, Ringer brings us a double dosage of SMG, who stars as twin sisters Siobhan and Bridget, who lead very different though equally perilous lives. As a huge fan of actors playing two completely different roles in the same show (see: Petrova Doppelgangers, Olivia/Fauxlivia, etc) I can hardly wait. As an EW reporter put it: “A recent day on the job found Gellar performing five different roles: Bridget in a flashback, Siobhan in a flashback, current Siobhan in Paris, current Bridget in New York City, and ‘Siobet,’ Gellar’s term for Bridget pretending to be Siobhan.” (!!!!!!!!!)
So watch the promo! And watch the pilot tonight on the CW! Also, start taking bets on whether Bridget, Siobhan, or any of the other characters on this high-paced thriller will pause to “bing” something in tonight’s episode.

So, I was late to discovering the awesomeness of Sons of Anarchy, having just finished season 3 yesterday, but I can tell you that I have now watched the first four minutes of season 4 a number of times, each time smiling like an idiot, and think you should do that as well and join me in counting down the hours til the premiere on Tuesday. Ok? Be warned, if you don’t, I’ll have Gemma threaten to shoot you like you were a baby.

And the award for Most Canadian Canadian on Television goes to…KRIS HOLDEN-RIED, whose Mountie-good looks and “I’d-rather-be-fishing” haircut make us wonder if this werewolf prince does indeed bleed maple syrup!
All Canadian stereotypes aside, this is really just a poorly disguised last-ditch attempt to convince everyone in the world (okay, so maybe just everyone who follows All The TV) to watch Lost Girl if they haven’t already. With only 4 days until the Canadian premiere of season 2, it has been hard for us FAEthful fans to think of anything else!
And for those of you who don’t need any more convincing because you’ve already been succubused by the charming and talented Anna Silk, Ksenia Solo, and entire Lost Girl cast: here’s to hoping season 2 brings us plenty of fabulous Kenzi lines (and wigs!), threesomes…er I mean love triangles, leather, and new and exciting adventures for Bo and Co.
Okay so I wrote this True Blood speedcap and I got to say how completely shitty this season has been even though I couldn’t use the words vampire/werewolf/shapeshifter/skinwalker/fairy/witch/shirtless sooo I guess I’m kind of proud of it (that was hard)?
I won’t do this to you guys often, but….yes, it would be cool if you watched.
xoxo!

So, while I still don’t think Whitney has surpassed Work It! as the new show that most makes want to stab things in the face and cry that a show like that will make it to air but nothing I create likely ever will, it is gaining on that number one spot. Fast.
