Oh dear lord it just won’t stop.
I am going to change things up a bit here and thought The Narrows would be a good place to address it. As you all know, this is a new venture, and the G33kpod crew is just starting to find our way. I gladly took on the TV duties but it is becoming abundantly clear I can’t keep going on this way.
The Walking Dead starts tonight. I haven’t watched this weeks Sleepy Hollow yet. I have only seen the first episode of Gotham and American Horror Story: Freak Show was great but I haven’t even found the time to write about it. I just did a quick calculation based on genre shows we haven’t talked about(12 Monkeys, Bates Motel, etc) and the stuff I have already started, and found we are talking in all of genre TV around 300 reviews in the next few months. I would love to have that kind of output. But with 50 hours a week at my job, a family, and time needed to watch those shows plus showers and sleep… it just is not going to happen.
Especially as at this point I am not sure if anyone other than Paul and my wife have even read one of these columns, I can’t justify sacrificing time in one of those other areas to do a good job here. I hope someday to reach a huge audience, but I feel I am so rushed that I am barely scratching the surface of these shows.
I also said from day one I was not going to do full recaps, and somehow find myself doing them anyway. That is on me, most likely because I am always in a hurry. I wrote this past weeks Z Nation review in the WordPress app while on the toilet! I need a clone.
So before I turn in to a zombie, here is what is going to change.
I will still do single reviews on my favorite shows and ones I think are important, and do a BETTER job with them. Others I will do weekly columns focusing on several shows at a time. AHS for instance. I love the show, but it is such an intricate show I don’t feel I could spend the amount of time on it I would need to do it justice. But we can still talk about the fucking creepy clown!
This way I feel I can spend more time on what I write, and just put some thoughts out there about the ones I don’t have time for. Paul wants to handle Gotham and The Flash so that helps out a lot. I am going to assume you have already watched the show. I would never read a review before watching a show. If that is you, I am sorry and I don’t think you actually like TV. You should try books.
We at G33kpod want to turn this site in to something special. I am sure this won’t be the last adjustment we make, and we appreciate anyone along for the ride. If you have any ideas or thoughts on how to make this better, feel free to leave them in the comments. I am going to spend the rest of the day excited about The Walking Dead, instead of worrying about when I wil have time to write the review.
