Greek Season 3 Cast Photo

If you’ve never watched GREEK, I feel like there might actually be something wrong with the chemical make up of your brain. It’s a smart, witty and hilarious show that needs your attention.

I’ve been one of the lucky ones that has been on the GREEK train since the beginning (almost) – I came in 7 episodes after it began and quickly fell in love with all those miscreants at Cyprus-Rhodes University.

If you’re thinking, “Oh I don’t like frats or sororities and I’m not really a fan of drinking” then welcome to my world! I went into the show very wary and expecting to hate almost everyone but hell if I didn’t have the opposite reaction!

There’s something for everyone on GREEK. There are the hot sorority girls, the hot sorority boys, the geeks, the nerds, the bitch, the jock, the class clown, the requisite rich girl, and even a handful of gays! That’s right… GAYS!

GREEK has done a great job at breaking stereotypes and representing diversity both as a show and as a college experience. While Rebecca Logan started off as just a spoiled rich bitch, she’s turned into of the most interesting and complex characters on the show. Calvin Owens was a star athlete every frat wanted who ended up being gay and it never really mattered. Casey Cartwright has gone from being the Elle Woods-lite sorority leader to an ambitious woman with sites on a big career. Then there’s Rusty and the Kappa Tau’s. They’re a rag-tag group of near flunkies that live to spite the richy rich frat boys of Omega Chi.

Tonight brings GREEK back for a new season and new school year. The premiere made me happy and pissed me off at the same time. Don’t get me wrong – I loved every second of it but some of these kids just drive me batty!

Rusty, Dale and Calvin are no longer the new kids on the block and big changes are in store. There’s requited love, new found romance, lying and even some cheating in store for the kids at CRU so you do not want to miss how it all plays out.

I barely ever write about TRUE BLOOD because we talk about it so much on the podcast but with the finale just around the corner, I figured… why not?

Hoyt, Jessica and Mama Fortenberry:
Obviously there had to be a kink in the Jessica/Hoyt relationship and Jess sinking her fangs into a possessed, lippy, loud mouthed Mama Fortenberry was the straw that broke Hoyt’s back.

Hoyt leaves with his Mama but later he probably wished Jess did the deed. Miss Fortenberry reveals that Hoyt’s Daddy was a raging alcoholic, a possible queer and killed himself. Poor Hoyt, all this time he thought he was killed protecting the family from a burglar. Christ on a cracker…

The Queen, Bill and More:
Rachel Evan Wood makes her debut as the Queen, a trucker mouthed Southerner with a penchant for pure blood and a knowledge base that will help ole Billy boy with their whole “Maryann” issue.

Seems that while Maryann isn’t indestructible, because she firmly believes she is immortal, she’s been growing stronger and with every fuck, kill and possession she brings herself closer to the divine. Bottom line, she’s not human any longer and there’s no stopping her… sorta.

After holding Bill hostage with a Chorus Line of lovelies and a game of Yahtzee, she gives up that the Maenad ironically seek Death. The only way to stop them is to rise Dionysus – or trick them into thinking Dionysus has risen (as Gods never truly present themselves) so that Maryann will give herself over to him and in that moment, its the only time you could kill her. The issue – Maryann can’t offer herself over until she finds a suitable supernatural vessel from which “he” can rise. Vamps won’t due as the don’t have beating hearts but shape-shifters and werewolves are fine… as is I suspect Sookie!

How hilarious was it when Eric arrives and the Queen tells Bill that he and Eric should just fuck to get it over with. HILARIOUS and YES PLEASE!

more True Blood after the jump… (more…)
