Be prepared, because this blog is about to get a whole lot more interesting. My friend Tony has decided to contribute a few of his thoughts after watching Top Shot. I'll be posting his takes over the next couple of days, and hopefully he'll join us for the rest of Season 4. As you'll soon find out, Tony has a bit of a different writing style than I do, but diversity is the spice of life. (Please don't be offended)
Greetorials fellow internauts! For those who read this blog frequently, you know me as
Chris’s friend Tony. He introduced
me earlier as a guy who did not watch the show, then later mentioned me in a
post as a guy who used to not watch the show, but now watches the show. As soon as I watched the first episode
of the first season I was hooked.
I plowed through seasons 1 and 2 in about five days on Netflix, and I
caught up on Season 4 in one night.
I still haven’t seen season 3, so don’t spoil it for me.
Seriously… don’t.
I don’t know much about guns or
hatchets, but I do know one thing: A person who knows their way around a firing
range is automatically the bee’s knees as far as I’m concerned.
You may be wondering “Hey Tony, if you don’t know anything
about guns, why do you like watching Top Shot?”
Well, kind anonymous reader, it’s a very simple answer. You don’t need to know about guns to
know about competitive chaos, and that’s what this show thrives on (with doses
of welcomed comedy sprinkled throughout).
The characters are almost always entertaining, and for whatever
inexplicable reason, I automatically latch on to the hopes and dreams of certain
contestants from the first time I see them talking. These are all reasons that have nothing to do with the elite
levels of shooting skill that are displayed (you don’t need to be a rocket
surgeon to know that the center of the target is better than the hill in the
background).
I don’t know if Chris has mentioned it on this blog, but
he’s the editor of our school’s newspaper. I’ve been begging him to give me 500 words to unleash an
unedited fury upon the world. He
always responds with dumb answers like “Fill out an application,” or “No.”
Luckily (for me, not you my fair
readers) Chris has given me an opportunity to contribute to this blog almost
completely unedited. So I’ll start
by immediately testing the boundaries:
F---.
Now that I’ve got that out of my system, Chris wants me to
give my thoughts on seasons one and two, followed by season four up to this
point. From that point we’ll see
what happens. Maybe I become a
recurring character on this blog.
Maybe I disappear. Maybe I
change Chris’s password, take it for myself and ride this tweetmobile to
superstardom in the blogosphere.
Who knows? All I know is you won’t want to miss it.
Check back tomorrow for a super-rewind
as I share my thoughts from season one.
