SCREAM: THE TV SERIES--Season Two

[Greg Cox]

Don't see a thread for this yet, so . . . .

FYI: The season premiere debut late last night on MTV, but is being rerun tonight. Not sure why it debuted at 11 pm on Memorial Day, but . . . whatever. (I stumbled onto it by accident, just as I was going to bed.)

The new season gets off to a lively (if gruesome) start . . . .

Crap. I forgot to record it. The first season is a guilty pleasure of mine. The aftershow is available On Demand on DirecTV, but the actual show isn't. Weird.

Edit: It's available online through DirecTV. And it will not stream through Chromecast. What a world we live in.

There's a Dexterish element to this where Bex is hunting herself.

I only made it about ten minutes into the after show. The host is really annoying, mostly because he's trying way too hard to get laughs instead of just talking about the show. As opposed to, say, Chris Hardwick on THE TALKING DEAD, who comes off as genuinely excited about the latest episode and can't wait to talk about it.

I'm glad they killed off that one character. The actor portraying him is easily the weakest performer on the show.

The pig farm scenes reminded me of a certain brother and sister from Hannibal, especially the pig motif that keeps showing up.

Thanks. I'll probably skip it. I imagine it's like that horrible time Bates Motel tried an after show.

I haven't watched this show but the Orphan Black after show is pretty bad as well and the host there really seems to be trying to be Chris Hardwick.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Afterbates?

No.

Sadly, that's not what it was called.

 

[Greg Cox]

The TEEN WOLF after show wasn't bad.

Yeah I wasn't sorry to see him go either.

I'm really interested to see what they're doing with Audrey. It was never specifically stated that she was the second killerer, just that she wrote letters to the killer.

 

[Guy Gardener]

That would be a sad revisionist lie to tell us.

She was a Murderer intent on more murder and then the barbie one was nice to her, and Audrey decided that "Oh, they're not so awful, maybe I don't kill them all."



Stuff had to have happened, or she's being a super wuss.

 

[Aldo]

That's a lot of assumptions though, that could be backed up with what we've seen, but could just as easily be dismissed too.

It certainly seems that way though, especially after the second episode. I'm really curious what the killer's motivation is this time around. At least with the first one we had the whole Brandon James backstory to play off of, here they're just kind of tying up loose ends from the first season, but maybe that's the point.

 

[Starbreaker]

I've seen the first four now and it's definitely a struggle to get through some of these episodes. They've just slapped random characters in there and they're not compelling.
