Gone Greek: “Hell Week”
Note: Seeing as this was the season finale of Greek, it would only be natural for a blog about Greek to talk about all the spoilers present in said finale. You’ve been warned.
Where to start? Well, this season finale featured a lot of twists. Like, enough twists for a season of Lost. [...]
Gone Greek: “Three’s Company”
Greek flirted with a seldom seen topic in this week’s episode. No, not classes…they still don’t go to those. I’m talking about marijuana, a.k.a. wacky tobacky. Unlike academics, though, Greek’s decision to avoid too much cannabis chat actually makes sense–college drug scenes, or at least what I’ve observed at Northwestern, exist as [...]
Clark Duke dishes on his Sex Drive
Clark Duke, star of Sex Drive and Greek hottie, dishes all.
Gone Greek: “The Popular Vote”
WARNING: HUGE SPOILERS AHEAD. TURN BACK IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW.
It’s that time in the Greek season where the writers cram all sorts of new drama into the last few episodes to set up a more dramatastic season finale in three episodes’ time. “The Popular Vote” introduced or reinforced the plot lines [...]
Gone Greek: “Formally Yours”
In the most lopsided dilemma I’ve ever faced, I had to choose between watching the second presidential debate and tonight’s episode of Greek. Since I’m an absolute failure at being an American citizen I tuned into ABC Family. I blame the network itself… if they’re so interested in getting young people to vote [...]
Gone Greek: “See You Next Time, Sister”
I realize people don’t need a good reason for watching a TV show. Two and a Half Men is still on the air, after all. But, even safe in this knowledge, I sometimes wonder why I watch Greek. Especially after an episode like tonight’s, where the Greek demographic appeared in full-force.
America’s favorite [...]
Gone Greek: “Pledge Allegiance”
Since tonight’s episode of Greek gave me zero ideas for a lead-in feature and the most important election since “what color should the new M&M be” is fast-approaching, Gone Greek presents…
On the economy: Many characters on Greek are wealthy douche bags who spend exorbitant amounts of money without many repercussions. But Greek takes a [...]
Gone Greek: “Gays, Ghosts and Gamma Rays”
The addition of nerdy-but-lovable Max to Greek has created some much-needed new plot directions for a show often bogged down by the same old relationship stories. More importantly, though, Max (and his blossoming relationship with Casey) opens up all sorts of exciting avenues in the surprisingly barren territory of Greek fan fiction.
A cursory glance [...]
Gone Greek: “Let’s Make A Deal”
Greek solidified a new running gag during tonight’s 21-themed episode. After only having the recurring jokes of “Ashleigh is dumb” and “Dale likes God,” the minds behind the curtains have given us Greek fans Betsy, the zany-but-lovable alcoholic. Betsy first appeared in a few scattered episodes last season as an out-of-control drinker who [...]
Gone Greek: “Spring Broke”
Beneath all the relationship drama, bad puns and Casie-Cappie stuff, the season finale of Greek touched on the very theme that makes the show popular and, ultimately, fascinating. Last week’s installment dipped its toes into this idea, but the Spring Break capper to this season embraced it. The most interesting thing about this [...]
Gone Greek: “Barely Legal”
I couldn’t watch Greek in my usual viewing location, so I had to watch it in my old dorm’s TV lounge. Another person joined me, someone who had never watched the show, but who was willing to watch anything to kill an hour. So, I observed someone new to the Greek universe watching [...]
Gone Greek: “A Tale of Two Parties”
The world of Greek contains plenty of references to the Internet, from shots of characters using instant messaging to people writing e-mails. But one of the biggest online tools around today has never reared its blue and white head. Seriously, do the kids at Cyprus Rhodes not have Facebook? The issue of [...]
Gone Greek: “No Campus for Old Rules”
Like a good drug, this week’s episode of Greek made me drowsy at points, but ultimately served its purpose well enough. The action wasn’t all that interesting (especially the Casey scandal storyline, which dragged the plot down big time), but the poorly titled “No Campus for Old Rules” displayed the show’s newfound skill at [...]
Gone Greek: “Mr. Purr-fect”
Though not the strongest writing device around, one-off characters can add a special spice to a television show. Greek features one-time characters frequently (see: last week’s parent episode), and this week saw the introduction and departure of Shane, Casey’s latest post-Evan crush, who looked eerily similar to Prince Caspian. In the end, Shane [...]
Gone Greek: “47 hours and 11 minutes”
Do you know that sense you get when something you’ve been following is finding its groove and becoming the best it has ever been? Like, when you first heard “Ms. Jackson” and realized Outkast was now unstoppable? Or that point in No Country For Old Men (I’ll let you choose which point) you [...]
