"The Secret Circle": Can You Circle Up if You're Over 27?
Um, did any of you see that "The Secret Circle" TV show last night on the "CW Network"? It was basically "90210" meets "The Craft." (With a little bit of Mean Girls?) It was also vapid, rushed and definitely not "The Killing." Also kind of amazing! But is it okay to watch if you are like "that's weird, the hot guy from 'Queer as Folk' is playing the dad… and, oh, Jesus, the target audience is half his age, right, HE'S THE OLD MAN SECONDARY CHARACTER"? Probably not. ANYWAY, this is what there is to watch now if you don't like vampires and autopsies on the TV.
Choire, are you still following The Vampire Diaries? Because I have to talk to someone about last night's premiere.
@Murgatroid OOH, saving it for tonight or tomorrow, can we recon in 48?
@Choire Sicha It's you or random teenagers at the mall.
Am I the only one who never thought Brian/Gale Harold was all that hot?
@Vulpes Nope.
@Vulpes while Brian was my favorite character on that show, I didn't think GH was that hot either. But I am definitely liking the facial hair… I could get used to that…
I am watching the re-run of this now and, oh god, I think I love it. And I am 28. I think I'll just go ahead and put myself in the corner.
Oh, and you should totally watch 'switched at birth' on ABC Family. I love that too, though for reasons that will become painfully obvious upon viewing, am infinitely more ashamed of liking.
I tell myself: they're genre shows, not teen shows–and that makes everything okay.
I tell myself that too!!! Then I get sad because I love "genres" that are not socially acceptable.
@areaderwrites Ooh! Useful magic phrase. Thank you. I always use it for the sci-fi and detective novels I read when I'm sick of thinking too much but I'd never considered that it might work for television as well. I will not abuse it and apply it to reality television, though. Yet.
This is another LJ Smith YA (or teen, I think they just called them teen back then?) series, yes? Because I know that I read these when I was like, 13 or something and LOVED THEM. And if they ARE LJ SMith, that means we get her psychic-boarding-school-sensory-deprivation-chamber books next, right???
Ahhh QaF memories (mostly watching it in my basement at 1:00 am in order to ensure my parents didn't catch me). I only saw the 1st two seasons cause then I went to college where there was no Showtime. Anyway I actually watched that cheerleading show last year in order to see Gale Harold on TV again. After that mess and now this, I have come to the conclusion that this man makes bizarre work choices.
