And the Oscar goes to...

Christmas break is almost upon us and most of the fall shows aired half their Seasons by now (seriously, I think they crammed in more this year than last at this point) so I figured a final 2013 awards list was in order:

Best returning show: Arrow - firing on all cylinders right now, seriously, THIS is the comic book show of my geek dreams at the moment
runner up: Person of Interest - some fantastic arcs

Worst returning show: Vampire Diaries - last Season had problems, this one is a DISASTER, maybe it`s the showrunner being spread too thin but I sure hope they fix the hell out of it in the spring, so far they managed non-sucky writing for only one!!! character
runner up: none actually

Slashiest returning show: Haven - let me bathe in the Duke/Nathan of this year and forget everything else
runner up: none

Best new show: The Originals - after the backdoor Pilot, I was SO sure this would suck and get killed in the ratings but I`m surprised by how good it is,
runner up: Sleepy Hollow - the cast is great and I like the stories, at the beginning of the Season, this one would have easily made number one but I feel it bottomed out whereas Originals is climbing in quality

Worst new show: Atlantis - probably noone is even watching it and only my OCD will get me to finish this Season but why isn`t it at least trashy fun and cutely slashy?
runner up: neither Agents of Shield (it improved somewhat) nor The Tomorrow People (it has pretty, pretty John who would be such an interesting main character) but they are still both on the naughty list

Best slashy new show: Almost Human - penis envy, nough said :)
runner up: Dracula - Dracula and Renfield FTW

Guilty pleasure: Reign - I can`t help it, it`s cracky fun with gorgeous costume, the milquetoast prince if prettier than all the girls and who would have thought that Anne of Green Gables can rock a villain?
runner up: Witches of East End, I guess - it`s silly and soapy but the supernatural elements can be entertaining

Heh, for me the winner in the first category is PoI no doubts. I tried Arrow last year but got bored in the middle of the season cause I couldn't feel for any of the characters there.
Totally agree on Haven and Atlantis.
And now i'll cry in the corner because why? Why didn't they make John of TTP the lead character? The show would improve so much!

I know. And now I guess they`ll focus on Cara as leader? Urgh, at least Stephen is only stupid. I actively dislike Cara.

I don't think he's *just* stupid, eve stupid people know that sleeping with your friend's gf is bad but for stephen it's ok. :/
But she? I don't think I knew any other female character i'd hate so much. She's just awful. And if she'll be a leader I feel sorry for TP.
In general I just want Stephen and cara to be together and stop torturing poor john and for john to find a decent girl and forget about that bitch.
