CeFN: Your Head Asplode

This season has been completely awesome, I'm glad that my shows have been so positevely responded recently. I hope I can keep it up in the coming weeks as a writer. On the viewing side of things, a lot of new shows have really surprised me in terms of quality and zest most notably being The Waystation, Wolfgang & Zombie, and New York.
-Quantum(in regards to this session as a whole)

Five O' Clock PM, the crisp October air gave way to a world of no regrets & no rules. The sun had a bit of time left but it was bound to set, a pity. Luckily though I converse with the highest echelon of Rag Writers. While having a particularly riveting conversation with one he managed to slip me the goods, the reason I came. SCANNERS AND THE MASSACRE HAD BEEN RENEWED. I yelled my biggest bellow(meep) and ran around screaming "The Ravens won the Super Bowl!" before I halted. I needed to consult with this really reliable guy I knew.

Seven O' Clock PM SHARP, I arrived at Socialite, Writer, Aggressive Gamer and kinda cool guy Quantum's Loft. We both take a seat as he begins to play his usual soundtrack filled with Metric, Gorillaz & Hawksley Workman.

"So is The Massacre and Scanners really getting renewed?" I ask, eyes as wide as dinner plates.

"Yes, they both got renewed." Quantum says in a nonchalant voice, god he's hip.

"Thank god! So with Chris Pine and Tia Carrere coming on board this season, who do you foresee playing in Scanners?" I query him.

"Right now we're looking at several possibilites. Although I can't 100% confirm it, it looks as though Jason Ritter, Danielle Harris, Christopher Plummer, and Jim Parsons will be joining the cast with two, yet to be announced current regulars, will find themselves departing from the cast." He rapidly spits out words like some mad MC.

I nod at him, "Sounds awesome...say, have you been interacting with any of the cast since the season started?'

"Yes, I have been. I try and regularly visit the set. They're currently filming the finale as we speak. If you thought last season's finale was huge, wait until you see what we have in store. "
He responds, eyes full of passion. Typical Quantum, always go big or go home with him.

"Nice to see that you've been taking part on-set. Now is Tia hot or is it just me?" I flank him with a humorous question, we'll see if his facade breaks here.

"Yes, Tia is very hot. I'm very glad that I decided to cast her." He responds robotically, his mask stays....

"Great, now about The Massacre. Season 2 is greenlit before the finale's even aired! Which direction do you think the series will go after all this Sleeper Success?"

"I think it's going to go up in awesomeness! Seriously, though, I have big plans for the show and I just hope that people will keep on watching. I'm thrilled that Mac greenlight a second season so early on. I know exactly how the next season will start. You haven't seen anything yet."

I nod once more, this time with an understanding grin. "So as a Producer you're still making films, do you have anything on the horizon and what films are you excited for?"

"Well, I have Fear Itself 3 coming out and after that I'll try and tackle my long in the works Sandman movie. And after that? Who knows. Anything is possible." He proclaimed boldy.

With another nod I went for the toughest and most appropriate question, "What's your favorite news source?"

"All of them!" He shouts. That was not AT ALL the answer I was looking for.

"Look...this is a little awkward but can you throw me out of your house? It's the only way I know how to leave places anymore...." I ask him.

"No." He answers, I stand up dejected as I look around his house.

"Oh, well see you around I guess...." I say as I walk over to his window and begin to crawl through it, Case Closed?

Close Enough For Noir: What The Hell?


-Like an Asian Man gaping at his choices.
-blueothello(right this moment)


The HTG Awards, a blur of a time before a time. I awoke after a month long coma and Oh my god I still have a job. My happiness can be measured in thinly written blog posts but enough of that, I came here for a new reason....to talk about all the faboulous new shows of this session...or at least what I like about it.

Heavy Hitters:
These are the shows I watch as soon as the Week Pages come up shows like....

WOLFGANG & ZOMBIE:
I know the guy who writes this and he's an uber-cool astronaut, he'd be more UBER COOL if he gave me a raise but aside from that I fucking love his show because I like cartoons and I like Nazi Zombies. If this show died then a piece of me would die with it.

THE MASSACRE:
I love my Conspiracy Theories and Quantum force feeds them to me every week. The "Rubicon" of HTG TV and my god I wouldn't want it any other way.

BEHEMOTH:
It's a totally awesome show for totz rad peoplez, if you aren't watching well...yeah.

SCANNERS:
Tia Carrere is hot enough and the writing is A-OK. Not to mention a plot manly enough to put hair on the guy sitting next to you's chest. I love Scanners like a schoolgirl loves her Italian Reality Shows.

THE TICK:
The Tick's back, ergo Comedy's back. I love the show and I just got into it a little while back. DON'T BE ME, GET ON THIS GRAVY TRAIN RIGHT NOW.

Sleepers:
The shows that surprise me, usually read them later on.

SPORT OF KINGS:
There's plot behind those tracks and by Jesus' glory that plot is enough to keep me stumbling back for more.

THE LUNCH MONSTER:
Animation is at an all-time high and The Lunch Monster is what I'd call the Sleeper of the 4 Animated Series. It comes to the table with everything to prove as it's Producer Dartcher's debut Television Series. With Rogue's thin lineup chances are this'll see a renewal.

SOUTH HAMPTON:
The writing doesn't pull me in and what I percieve as a Teen Bopper plot doesn't either but hey, we all have our guilty pleasures. Wink wink nudge fudge.

Other stuff:
I get to these last or virtually never

Suicide Handguide & New York:
The guy who writes these are really awesome and he already told me the entire series premise so I never have a need to read these.

FALSETTOLAND:
Homosexual Musical fails to thrill me, I don't know why but it just does.

UNDERGROUND DAN:
I never ever got around to watching it, should I start?

HOLLYWOOD PIT PRESENTS:
Grr.

THE WAYSTATION:
Watched the first ep, failed to pull me in and I struggle to get through the second.

But hey, there's a couple of other shows on Television but so far I don't have an opinion at all on those, if you care at all about this, Close Enough for Noir or I Am An Astronaut drop by the comments. Your comments are our food. OMNOMNOM.
