TeeVee for Beginners, Friday Period Two

"We are nearing the end of our time together," Mitchell started. He was seated on the back of his own couch, lounging in his own way. "So you'll all have to kiss each other off and say goodbye for good. At least 'till you run into each other on the stairs when you head back home from class."

He gestured to the TV, which was now set up in the middle of the room. "Last week, you picked a program," he said, "Today, I want to hear about it. Did you have fun, or was it boring? Was it what you expected? What did you look for in a program to begin with? Would you recommend it to anyone else? Who were your favorite characters, that sort of thing. And then I'll judge you all ruthlessly. Better start cowering behind your sofas."

He grinned. "Then as a final treat," he finished, "I've got one last thing to show you, so don't run out. I'm sure all the alcohol and teenage flirtation can hold for another twenty minutes."

"So what'd you love about it?" Mitchell asked, leaning back on his couch. "Was it the characters, the themes? Or just the cheese?"

"The characters are way funny. Especially Wendy's best friend. And the werewolf she's in love with is sooooo awesome." Dinah turned a little red, then grinned. "And the mocking factor is high, they zap every werewolf cliche' and make fun of high school TV series too. 'He is a wolf. They... are poodles.'" Dinah snickered. "Plus Wendy gets killed a couple times and always gets better. And some of the evil werewolves are hilarious."

"It's fairly good at making sure there's good and bad werewolves," Mitchell prompted, for no particular reason. "Makes it all a bit more... human."

"They do! I mean, of the ones who get lines, there's good and there's bad, and there's lots of reasons why they're good or bad. It's not all one cliche'," Dinah agreed, beaming at Mitchell for sharing her liking of the series. "Plus, the girls get to kick ass in this show way more than the guys do. I kinda have to love that."

"I really can't fault you for unfailing support of feminism," he said, cracking a grin. "Especially in the area of romancing werewolves."

Mitchell was, occasionally, subtle like a brick.

Dinah snickered. "Lots of people talk about werewolf symbolism and, um, sex." She coughed. "But I think it helps that the actors are really really cute. Kind of like there's lots of cute people here. Plus, some English accents..." Okay, Dinah, shush!

"I suppose the English accent would seem exotic around here," said Mitchell, who was privately of the opinion the Irish one was far better. "English werewolves. Ah, television."
