Thirty Days of TV: Day One
Feb. 9th, 2013 10:46 amFound via network. It's been a whle since I did a thirty days meme, so here we go:
Day 01 - A show that should never have been canceled
Oh, several, but the one whose cancellation is still making me wail at the injustice of it all is The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Because it was smart and did inventive things with pop and older myths, was full of interesting characters both female and male, was gorgeously filmed and one of the few shows with a "the few trying to save the world" narrative at its center that never, ever lost sight of the "civilians" and kept them in sight, real and three dimensional instead of making them a bystanding crowd to either be saved or to hinder. This was a show where we spent an entire episode on the aftermath of the deaths of redshirts whereas when one of the regulars got killed, because of the lives they lead, not even the other regulars had time to do anything but run. IT WAS AWESOME.
( Days 2 - 30 )
