2013 WAS A YEAR.
HERE ARE SOME HALF-ASSED TOP THINGS OF 2013 LISTS WOOOO.
TOP TELEVISION SERIES OF 2013:
10. Some Girls: There were only 6 episodes but wow were they delightful. I would spend hours just watching these characters they are all so endearing.
9. Brooklyn Nine Nine: BEST NEW SHOW BY FAR. I love everyone in this precinct.
8. New Girl: OK TBH i had a really hard time ranking this, because if it was just season 2 I was discussing it would be wayyy higher, but season 3 has sadly been mostly a mess. BUT SEASON 2 MAN. overall that will probably go down as one of my favourite seasons for a comedy, and the 2013 portion of it was especially amazing.
7. Orphan Black: TATIANA MASLANY EVERYONE. But not only was she beyond phenomenal the characters and the plot were interesting too!! Great sci-fi show, good job.
6. Arrested Development: I waited 7 years for this and it did not disappoint for me. Were there some rough patches? YEP. Never really need to see those George Sr. episodes again. But the fourth season also gave us the amazing GOB, Maeby, George-Michael, Lucille and Buster episodes and FakeBlock and The Sound of Silence and when it was good it was SO GREAT.
5. The Good Wife - FLORRICK, AGOS & ASSOCIATES. ENOUGH SAID. 2013 has been a YEAR for this show.
4. Breaking Bad: I don't really know what to say other than holy HELL that was a good final season.
3. Mad Men: CONTROVERSY. most people did not care for this season i guess??? BUT I LOVED IT. I MEAN IT HAD KENNY TAP DANCING, SALLY REALIZING HER DAD IS AN ASS, STAN WITH A BEARD, DON BREAKING DOWN AND GETTING FIRED, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY
2. Orange is the New Black: This show has stuck with me like CRAZY. Every time I think back on it I love it even more. Every single character was just so amazing and fleshed out and refreshing. One of the TV critics mentioned it being like a small town show which is the most amazing description and so beautiful to me. And like that's the word I want to constantly use regarding this show: Beautiful.
1. YOUNG JUSTICE: nothing else could ever.
TOP EPISODES OF 2013:
5. Summit - Young Justice: I debated doing this or The Fix, but ultimately, this episode left em SO HAPPY, which is VERY RARE for this show. LOL KILL ME BECAUSE THAT WALLY/ARTEMIS EMBRACE
4. The Cooler - New Girl: The whole episode was great for pretty much all the characters, it had Brenda Song, True americans, and oh YEAh that KISS.
3. The Crash - Mad Men: Honestly, there have been better Mad Men episodes, probably even thsi season BUT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A MORE WTF EPISODE. STARTING THE EP WITH KEN MAYBE DYING??? EVERYONE JUMPING OVER COUCHES, DON RACING AROUND THE OFFICE, GINSBERG THROWING A KNIFE THING AT STAN, STAN AND PEGGY KISSING, KEN TAP DANCING.
2. Hitting the Fan - The Good Wife: 5 years of emotionally building up to this episode and it was perfect.
1. OZYMANDIAS - Breaking Bad: hands down the best episode of television in 2013. Going in my pantheon of best episodes of ever, right beside The Suitcase.
TOP MOVIES OF 2013:
5. This is the End: I actually didn't watch that many movies this year, but this one for sure gave me the most laughs. ALSO THE ENDING WAS MADE FOR ME.
4. Catching Fire: One of my favourite book to movie adaptations probably. Jennifer Lawrence was dynamite and the movie was so well paced and visually pleasing. JUST REALLY GOOD, and actually gives me hope for Mockingjay
3. Stories We Tell: I think this actually may have come out last year, but I only saw it this year and WOW it was really beautiful and had such an emotional kick. [nvm it's eligible for this years oscars SO IT COUNTS]
2. This is Us: SHUT UP LEAVE ME ALONE, these kids are so endearing and and appreciative and have been ruining my life for what feels like ever but has actually only been about 3 weeks.
1. PACIFIC RIM: I NEVER REALLY THOUGH ABOUT THE FUTURE. UNTIL NOW.
TOP COMICS OF 2013:
5. The Manhattan Projects: SUCH A FUN, DARK, INSANE COMIC.
4. Saga: What a gorgeous, beautiful, wonderful comic.
3. Bad Machinery: So many days looking at the daily strop was the funniest, or more heartfelt moment of my day. This webcomic probably has my favourite friendships of the whole year between all the girls.
2. Morning Glories: The best WHAT THE FUCK moments every month. The plot is crazy addicting and I love the characters. Such a fun read but can also get me really emotional, IE THE FUKAYAMA BROTHERS.
1. Ultimate Comics Spider Man: WOW this really pulled a win late in the game. Literally until yesterday I would have put this behind Morning Glories, but the second Cataclysm came out and i was talking to dudski about how upset I will be if Marvel destroys the Ultimate universe, and it's just THESE CHARACTERS ARE SO IMPORTANT TO ME. Miles, Ganke, Gwen Stacy (clone), Jessica Drew, Ty, Tandy, Lana, Katie Bishop!!! What an amazing amazing cast and Bendis has done such a great job of making me care about all of them even if we're just starting to know them over the past few issues. My comics dream for 2014 is for Young Ultimates to be a thing. HOW GREAT WOULD THAT BE.
TOP COMIC ISSUES OF 2013:
5. Morning Glories 032: The Vanessa issue!! Visually appealing, lots of emotions, crazy parallels and a great WTF ending. What m,ore can you ask for. (But seriously, cry forever about the whole Vanessa/Brendon situation.)
4, 3. The Manhattan Projects 010 and 015: Infinite Oppenheimers. Every issue of this comic is demented but these take an extra step. Seriously read this comic and all the Infinite Oppenheimer issues specifically.
2. Ultimate Comics Spider-Man 025: Basically this issue was full to the brim with heartfelt conversations between all teh characters I love and ended with Miles putting the suit back on. Perfect.
1. Hawkeye 011: AKA PIZZA DOG. wow what an amazing, imaginative, brilliant, beautiful, fun issue. Told entirely from the POV of everyone's favourite canine sidekick, it was visually appealing and different and still moved the story along.
