Bit by the Fangasm Bug

So I couldnt resist when I discovered that Syfy was launching yet ANOTHER show that would assuredly grab my attention... Fangasm! Surprisingly enough it is from the same producer that brought you the infamous Jersey Shore (yuck) but dont get turned off by that, give this show a chance, even if it is a small one :P In a nutshell, 7 nerds hailing from varying stereotypes (cosplayers, comic freaks, trekkies, etc) all live together in an LA apartment complex in the pursuit of a common goal; a career opportunity to work for American comic book writer, Stan Lee within his organization. I have come to adore a few characters, while get rather turned off by others (actually just one in particular). My favorite would have to be the ever so quirky Andrew Duvall, who also happens to be the resident trekkie expert. I'm much more of a Star Wars chick myself, but Andrew is so irresistibly dorky you cant help but be taken in by his rather endearing awkwardness. My LEAST favorite so far has got to be Molly McIsaac... I have had a real hard time liking this girl. She is constantly stepping up on this feminist soap box, spatting venomous lines at anyone/anything that might objectify the female body... but then she has no problem stepping into a skin hugging bodysuit all in the name of Cosplay. She doesnt seem to like attractive Cosplayers either. Watch out girls! If you have fit bod', proud of it, and are also into Cosplay, she will probably sear holes into your soul with her gaze! This type of behavior is ONLY acceptable if you dont automatically fall into the category of "sexy" :P ... come on girl, give us a break. You practically fell all over yourself when supermodel Adrianne Curry made an appearance on the show... your mixed signals are a little confusing... get it together, woman! Anyways, on to the rest of the cast. My second favorite on the show is definitely little Dani Snow, she is too cute! Sugar, spice, and everything nice, is the best way to sum her up. And she's a Star Wars fan and acclaimed Harry Potter expert... winning! There is also Kristin Hackett (unfortunately I feel like this girl sort of gets lost in the crowd, so far she is not so memorable, but there is still plenty of time for her to make her niche in the bunch!), Mike Reed (who has this AWKWARD sexual tension with Molly, he's actually a really cool dude and quite into her, but she would rather waste time making him feel guilty over even glancing at other girls even though they arent dating, instead of actually exploring anything beyond friendship... Molly! Again with the mixed signals! Quit playing games, yeesh!), then there is Paul Perkins who is nothing short of NICE, and then the comedic Sal Fringo. Overall I really enjoy this show, but I can definitely see where SallyAnn Salsano brought in the influence of Jersey Shore and perhaps borrowed a few ideas from The Big Bang Theory of TBS. In any case, if you're a nerd, a fan of nerds, into Star Wars, Star Trek, Comic Books, Harry Potter, or anything else you might think would be relevant... you will probably dig this show. Check it out! See for yourself:)
