Square One

Today is TV Calling’s two-year anniversary.
It has been a long time coming, and I must say I’m proud of all the great content, and of all the visitors who have passed through our doors.


Perhaps the greatest change in this past year has been the redesign which prompted a two-month long hiatus.
But let’s not dwell on this.

There has been a more recent lack of posting (and tweeting), for which I must now come clean.
Truth be told, I could write pages of (actual) reasons of why this happened, ranging from two hard-drive failures to being “too busy” (with a Star Trek marathon).
For the most part though, I just didn’t feel it.
I did not have much to add to the ongoing “conversation” so, instead of blabbering around, posting empty meaningless content, I decided to take a step back.
Nothing is better than irrelevant, right?

This short break incidentally allowed me to take care of more pressing matters.
In the past month, I have begun to finally break a pilot I had been holding off.
More importantly though, I was able to plan more thoroughly my move to L.A.
I started this blog two years ago in part to tell you guys about my own experience and steps toward becoming a (future) television writer. I did talk about my various visits to the West Coast and how I successfully obtained my Green Card (yay!).
But being both geographically and temporally so far away from this life-change (let’s call a spade a spade), I admit I did not have much to tell about what went on–until recently.
This is obviously why the blog has been diverging at times from its original purpose to center on a more analytical aspect of television (though with great articles).

Maybe this post seems either like bragging or a list of personal accomplishments, and maybe I wrote it for cathartic reasons, but I wanted to let you know how important this blog and your support have been to me.

And now, we are about to arrive to our final destination.
In a month, I will be moving to Los Angeles.
Square one.

This jump into the unknown is both thrilling and, dare I admit it, scary.
Perhaps this site, this log of my daily struggles, will ease the transition. (Bonus points for actual advice in the posts.)
I will continue to sporadically update the blog, bringing it back to its roots.

I hope you will continue to follow me on this journey.
Here’s to you fellow reader, and to another two years of TV Calling!

Lost Week

Whether you’ve collected all the official posters, despise what Darlton have done to the mythology, or have barely seen an episode, you have been for the past six years, one way or another, impacted by Lost.

As the ground-breaking series comes to a close this Sunday, we bring back posting on TV Calling with a week’s worth of articles about the phenomenon (for better, or for worse).
For a show that provoked throughout the years so much heated debates and theories amongst the (non-) initiated, it seems only fitting that we honor it by doing the one thing we do best: discussing and dissecting all of its aspects (some more controversial than others).
From fandom and mythology to storytelling and what the future may hold for the (potential) franchise, we will try to cover as much new ground as “smokely” possible (ha ha, get it?) in the upcoming week.

And it all starts today.

Welcome (back)

Ladies and gents, welcome to this whole new design.

Look around you. Isn’t the view grand?
There’s so much to (re)discover.

If you’re new here you might be interested in reading our little About page.
As for the aficionados, you can see that a lot has changed.
For starters, everything is much more organised.
I have been busy throughout the months preparing for this big step-up.

In the past few weeks, I have also edited every single one of the past 406 published posts to add them into our brand new categories (the main ones are on your right), as well as fit them with shiny new thumbnails.
You can check them all in the (now-clearly-structured) Archives.

The most special treatment though was reserved to all the Featured Posts, who, for the most part, got tailor-made banners.
And this trend will continue from here on out.
You can also access our five latest featured posts through the above gallery.

Now, things might still be a little unsteady here and there, so if you notice any problem or error, don’t hesitate to contact me.

In the meantime, enjoy yourself.
Post a comment, roam around, feel free to do whatever you want (almost).

There are a lot more surprises that I haven’t even mentioned yet, and even more is coming soon enough.
To be continued.
