Favorite Moments from SDCC (Which I Didn’t Go To)

So as you may or may not know, San Diego Comic Con happened this past weekend and it was PHENOMENAL.  This has got to be the best Comic Con in years.  The news just kept coming non-stop.  Everywhere you looked, there was something new being revealed and showrunners interacting with the fans.  So let’s look at some of my favorite moments of a con I did not go to! (but will, totally will one day because it is epic)

Let’s OTP it up!

 

Let me get this out of the way by saying it bluntly.  I ship.  I ship like there is no tomorrow.  I think that’s one of the best things about watching shows and reading books.  You get to ship any character you want with any other character you want and it’s never wrong….(though people may tell you it is.  They are lying.  Go ship.  Go ship with all the rainbows and glitter and kittens in the world)  That being said, I think it’s a fantastic time for me to sit here and tell you about all my ships because I love them and I just feel like sharing.

Who Do I Look Up To?

I’m not much for admiring people.  After all, we are all humans with infinite flaws and admiring would be putting someone on a pedestal which is a very dangerous thing to do.  A pedestal means that you’re more likely to forgive them for transgressions and to judge them on a totally different scale.  Of course, this scale is both good and bad.  While it means they can get away with more of certain things, it also means they have a strict criteria they have to keep to lest they get turned against.  This is especially evident when people admire artists, singers, writers, and various other people that deal with public media.  The general consensus always seems to be “it wasn’t as good as the first one”.

Hannibal the Cannibal: Can You Tell I’m a Fannibal?

I have watched a lot of TV shows over my short existence on this planet called Earth.  Some good, some bad, but some, those rare, rare gems: phenomenal.

NBC’s “Hannibal” is everything TV should aspire to be.  In some aspects, it is beyond the realm of cinematography, instead, existing in the elite world of literature.  True, they were books first, but the even the books have not transcended to the level the show has. (In my amateur opinion)
