Scream: The TV Series

Podcasting isn't the same as nationally syndicated, but she does have street rep.
A pisstake on Serial I'm guessing?

HA! THEY MADE A FUNNY!

As gruesome as that was, it was gruesome in my head and not on the screen.
Methinks Scream just ran head first into the limits of... Oh? MTV is Basic Cable?
Hmmm.
The lack of graphic violence in a show about a serial killer picking off annoying teenagers is to engender a tone specific advertisers feel comfortable with? If they wanted a different tone, they would have gone after different advertisers. Also if this show is made for teenagers, "older" teenagers, then self regulation is a given if this is not adult programming for adults.
"Sigh"
Emma got what she deserved for not looking where she was running.
Covered in someone elses blood.

Suck on that Cow from Under the Dome!
The existence of a sibling has been obvious since Mum revealed the intimacy of her relationship with Brandon, but this means that they can just trawl for DNA and the killer is found, which sounds like another red herring to me.

You thought that this was going to be MTV's Fargo?
This week they found a hidden murder weapon that looked like a trophy, and the speechy kid (Noah) says "Holy Dexter's airvent!"
This is as close to Fargo as MTV is going to get.

For me, one of the worst characters and an example of why this show sucks is the new Gail Weathers character.
First of all, she looks about 17. She's bland, has virtually no presence and is just WEAK as piss. Comparing her to CC makes her feel even weaker.
Just TERRIBLE.

That's not Gale, if you're talking about he pod caster, even if it seems like a photo copy of Gale. Maybe there was a rights issue with the name?
The Mayor's wife who is as yet unseen, I'm wondering if that's going to wind up being a stunt cast from the movie (Neve or Courtney?) who shows up for the last 5 seconds of series one with a knife in her back?

If you hate these pesky kids so much, shouldn't you want to see them murdered?
You know, I had zero expectations for this show but I'm really liking it so far.
It feels like the perfect reinvention of Scream - it takes the concept (killer with storied past hunting teens in a high school setting) and then gives it the modern, self-referential spin that works surprisingly well. The Ghostface mask might be tweaked, but the Brandon James Killer moves, talks and kills like Ghostface. All of the character archetypes from the movies - Syndey, Gal, Dewey, etc. - are all represented in the new characters.
The show definitely isn't perfect but it handles genuine suspense, teen angst and humor with aplomb. The great thing about the show is that it actually makes you care for the characters, so when they die it means something. It knows exactly what it wants to be and on that level Scream succeeds. Sydney, Woodsboro and Ghostface were never necessary to make Scream work. What made Scream work was the self-referential spin, the homages to horror movies/TV and the witty writing - which the show has and then some. I love how the earlier episodes referenced Hannibal and other contemporary horror TV shows.
I was pleasantly surprised with this because I thought I would hate it. It's not the movies, but it has forged its own identity while being respectful of what came before. This way, it's not "fucking with the original" but it is its own, standalone thing. I think this is much better than an outright remake of the original Scream. Especially one that basically took the same characters and put them in new settings/situations. This takes the core concept of what made Scream so entertaining and takes a new spin on it and I think it works really well.

Okay, the killer was who I expected, but I must say it made sense and the actor in question did good psycho. But what about the epilogue? I'm still trying to sort that out.
If Audrey was in cahoots with Piper, why did she then shoot Piper in the end? And how does the death of Audrey's girlfriend fit into the equation? And if Audrey knew who the killer was all the time, why did she wait until the finale to take revenge for her girlfriend . . . and act as though she thought Kieran was the killer?
It is a puzzlement.

I think they gave too much away with Audrey at the end and finally Amelia Rose Blaire acted fierce as Piper.
Didn't Noah have a scar on his forehead (revealed in the pilot) that his hair covered up? Was that ever explained? Also, it seemed to be absent in the final two episodes with his hair slicked back for his costume.
The accomplice killed the killer to avoid incrimination?
