MTV's Teen Wolf

So, here we go again. MTV is giving us yet, another teen drama revolving around the mystical and dangerous changes of ones body that they can't control. Enough with this teen angst allegory. We get it. Teens feel alone. Teen Wolves feel more alone because no one is like them, aside the other teen wolves in the town. Just like teen vampires, these supernatural characters feel alone and scared because they can't control their urges and body's desires. That's every fucking teenager, not just vampire and wolves. Granted, when normal teens get out of control it usually ends with a hangover and a case of syphilis, not with anyone dead (in the case of Vs and Ws), but still, Teen Wolf not the only one with control issues. (Insert Premature ejection here.)

I have here a link to MTV's trailer for Teen Wolf. http://www.mtv.com/shows/teen_wolf/series.jhtml
I'm not sure this trailer does the show any justice. It completely takes away the mystery about the show. (Way to tip your hand, MTV.) I watched it and it was like watching the Season 1 recap. You learn who all of the players are, where their relationships go and most likely how their relationships will end. I guess only time will tell how this show plays out, but my guess is that it will be cancelled mid-season. If MTV treats this show like they did Skins, I can just watch Michael J Fox's Teen Wolf movie while listening to a Miley Cyrus album and it will basically be the same show that MTV will show.

Falling Skies- Trailer

I just watched this trailer for TNT's new show Falling Skies. It looks pretty epic as far as television series go. It was produced by Steven Spielberg and his DreamWorks Company, however, this does not a great show make. Must I remind everyone about the final Indiana Jones film or the 2nd Transformers movie? Talk about over the top shit storms. However, with this enlightening trailer, it seems that Steven and his team have found their mojo again. Take a look and let me know what you think. Is this something you might be watching? I certainly will tune in for the Pilot but I am a little skeptic as far as content and story are concerned. Don't screw us over again Steven.

AMC's The Killing

@TheKilling_AMC

So this past Sunday night, AMC premiered their latest television show "The Killing." This drama revolves around a dead Rosie Larsen (who was last seen at her school Halloween dance). She is this pretty 17 year old girl living in Seattle who wants to go to college, hang out with her friends and take her little brothers bike riding. A real Doll. (Or is she...?)

 The show follows three story lines: the detectives working the case, the grieving Larsen Family, and a politician running for Mayor. Why the politician is important? We don't really know...yet. He is tied to the case because the vehicle that Rosie was found in, is registered to him and this makes him a suspect. (Also, his behavior is very suspicious. And everyone knows you can't trust a politician.) And speaking of suspects, do we have a list: the rich ex-boyfriend, Rosie's best friend, the politician, one of his campaign goons. Basically, I think the whole city of Seattle and the surrounding area are suspects at this point in time.

The show is a little slow in the beginning but what Pilot isn't besides 24? Just go with it, alright people. Turn in and follow the story every Sunday at 9 PM (I think. Check your local listings). This is AMC. Must I remind you about MadMen and The Walking Dead? They don't let us down. AMC produces shows rich in characters and stories. Great writing and great acting make this enjoyable viewing.  

Ok, Theory Time:
My money's on Rosie's teacher. And here is why: He seems a little too into the whole investigation (and what I learned from watching Criminal Minds is that a killer always wants to insert themselves into the investigation.) My guess is that him and Rosie had this thing on the side. They sneak away from the dance to fool around. Rosie says no, he goes crazy and hits her. She fights back, he kidnaps her (we know that she dies in the woods) and then he kills her. He had some old friends steal a car from the politician's car lot and stuffs her into the truck and sinks the car in the lake. Case closed. You're welcome Detectives.
