The Guild Season 3: Great things come in intense 5 minute packages

Time is against me but I am determined to blog regularly! What better to start with than  a snapshot review of The Guild Season 3?

This season of The Guild is high on character development and moves at a frenetic place. For those that aren't aware of The Guild, it's a great web series by Felicia Day about addicted gamers. See the end of the post for a link with more information.  For those that are already fans, here's my thoughts:

Codex is making progress. She still finds herself attracted to guys who seem "in control" (last time it was the stuntman, this time it's Fawkes) even if it's an unhealthy pattern for her.  Vork is stil Vork, but with added self awareness.  Tink and Bladezz have acknowledged their feelings; Zaboo continues to grow a backbone; Riley is paired off with an equally damaged individual; and Clara -- to me she's the worst of the addicts.  She really has to come around next season, esp with another kid on the way.  It's a disturbing character arc for a parent to watch!

I had to watch the season twice over after it was done because it moved SO quickly, in so many directions, with so many characters. The one liners and character development was intense and quick and the jokes just flew! At the same time, there are so many memorable moments, too many to list - Vork's car scenes will brilliant and stand out this season, Jeff is so funny. The arcs were all very ambitious this season and could easily have been twice as long with so many arcs to resolve, but you and the brilliant cast and crew pulled it all together.

In a nutshell: The Guild Season 3 is like a dark chocolate cake, rich, thick and nummy. The portions are small 5-7 nuggets, so be sure to eat slowly and savor!

GREAT JOB TO CAST AND CREW!
