Old shows, new shows, my shows

Shows that we are waiting for the next season, or shows that we are waiting for the premiere's.

Supernatural Season 9 Finale

OMG. I don’t know what to say. I don’t want to give anything away if you haven’t watched it yet, so be warned. Like usual, Supernatural as to take off in a way you didn’t expect. First with the mark of Cain being transferred to Dean and the Angel that went into Sam becoming brain washed by Metatron to kill people, like Kevin.Well I figured the point of the mark of Cain was for Dean to kill Abaddon, which he did, and then once Abaddon is dead then he would move on to killing Metatron and that would be the finale.

 Well the show down happened but instead of Dean saving the world and killing Metatron, Metatron stabbed Dean in the chest with one of the Angel Blades. I think I gasped louder than I have before with Supernatural then I waited, assuming that Cas was on the way. But he didn’t show up and Dean died in Sammie’s arms. I was shocked I didn’t start crying, but for once I was composed, lol. Normally that’s the cliff hanger but not this time, the show continued. 

At the end it shows Dean lying dead on a bed and Crowley comes popping in. Talking to Dean Crowley tells him that he wasn’t expecting this to happen to Dean but at the same time he isn’t shocked, then he started telling Dean to open his eyes. Wait a minute, he’s dead, he can’t open his eyes. OH YES HE CAN. In the last second Dean opens his eyes to reveal, black Demon eyes.

I know that Supernatural is going to be back this fall, and it is going onto it’s 10^th Season, and I love the show but really when is this going to end. I remember them saying they were going to end the season after I think Season 5 or 6, I’m just having a brain fart right now and now we’re going on to the 10^th season. I enjoy it, I love it, but I don’t want to see become stupid. We’ve already done Demons; Angels; Lucifer; Lilith; Metatron; Mark of Cain; The four horsemen of the Apocolypse. What else is there??

We will see this fall.

Does anybody else's tear ducts swell the moment they see this and the song Carry on my wayward son by Kansas starts, mine do, every single season lol

Witches of East End (reruns leading up to July 6^th @9pm on Lifetime)

Promo 1

Promo 2

I don’t know how popular this show has become since it airs on a small channel called Lifetime, but I love it. It’s like Charmed, just an updated version with only two sisters not three. I completely recommend this show if you love those guilty pleasures shows, like Pretty Little Liars (Yup that is mine). I’m not sure what to expect with the upcoming season but I know I can’t wait.

This show is also based on the book The Witches of East End by Melissa de la Cruz. I have not read it myself, so I don’t know how true to the book it is but it is on my list to read.

Bitten (reruns are currently playing on Space and Syfy)

So Bitten has just been picked up from Space and now Syfy for the second season. I follow Kelley Armstrong (the author who wrote the books that the show is based on) and she or her assistant wrote that after all the feedback from the fans about the first season they are going to follow more closely to the books for the second season which is based on the second book in The Women of the Otherworld series called Stolen. In Stolen Elena is kidnapped and imprisoned in a prison for supernaturals where she meets a young witch named Savannah. Savannah is a very powerful witch but there is something else about her. I’m not going to give it away, lol. Well as Clay and the other remaining pack members try to find Elena she takes things into her own hands trying to escape taking Savannah with her.

So we will see. They haven’t given a Season 2 premiere date but I’m expecting early 2015.

Penny Dreadful (Showtime Sunday’s @10pm)

Well I just happened by chance to come across the trailer for this new show on Showtime and wow. It looks dark and creepy and it’s got all the good things supernatural shows have. Frankenstein and his monster, vampires, séances, Dorian Gray and a clairvoyant front runner Eva Green. I have never been a big fan of hers I always thought she looked weird and there was just something about her I didn’t like and that was until 300 – Rise of an Empire. She rocked it as the strong, cut throat leader Artemisia and now as Vanessa Ives in Penny Dreadful she’s great at bringing the psychic creepiness that some psychics can bring.

 I’m only three episodes in and so far so good. Also I forgot to add two things (1) Josh Hartnett is back playing an American gunslinger, where has he been all this time, and (2) Billie Piper playing Brona Croft, for those who don’t know Billie, she played Rose in Doctor Who and was and still is my favourite companion of the Doctor.

Give this show a shot, it looks promising.

Salem (Sunday nights @10pm on Space)

WGN’s first attempt at a scripted show, Salem brings Shane West back to the small screen. When I looked into this show after seeing the first trailer on Space I thought hmmm; a different take on the Salem Witch trials, this looks promising.

I watched the first episode a day after it premiere, thank you PVR. And I was shocked to see Shane West, but truthfully that intrigued me more. I thought the premise of having the witches in control in Salem was an interesting take. The witch in control Mary Sibley uses her powers of manipulation to control who is outed as a witch. It’s crazy to see that all they have to do is point a finger and saw someone is a witch and that’s it, they are hung, burnt or whatever. I’m interested in to see where they go with this. Stay tuned

 Dominion (starting June 19^th @ 9pm on Syfy)

Syfy has decided to take the movie Legion and make that into a TV show. I loved the movie and I’m interested in the possibility of the show but I’m not sure.

 Apparently this takes place after the movie, when Arch Angel Gabriel rages war against the humans with Angel Michael (was played by Paul Bettany in the movie) stays fighting for the humans. 

We will have to see how this goes???

The Strain (July 13^th @ 10 on FX)

Now this one I’m really looking forward to. This from Guillermo del Toro so it’s gotta be good right?? Well we’ll see. This show is about vampires, not sparkly vampires, murderous, blood hungry vampires. 

Perfect. In this show there is a breakout of vampirism and how the CDC is trying to fix it. 

I think this will be interesting. There is nothing wrong with suave vampires like Miles (from my novel Pawn of The Lilly Reed Series) and Louis from Interview with a Vampire. But I do love blood thirsty vampires too. Can’t wait to check this show out.!!!

Well if there any shows that I forgot, or bypassed, please leave me a note and I will check it out.

Ok, so let's talk The Walking Dead Season 4 Finale, Being Human Series Finale and Bitten Season 1 Finale

Hmmm, which one should I start off with. Let's go with The Walking Dead.

Before we go too far, if you haven't watched any of these Finale's and don't want any spoilers, come on back when you have, and don't say I didn't warn you!!

Who will make it to Terminus?

Should be called Hell

So for the last part of this season we have all the different survivor groups: Maggie, Sasha and Bob; Rick, Carl and Michonne; Glenn and Tara; Tyrese, Carol, Lizzie and Mika; Daryl and Beth. Making their way to find each other and to Terminus. This Terminus has maps posted telling survivors to make their way there for safe living. Well I'm not so sure of that. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is and surprise with this Terminus there is a foul taste with it. With Beth missing Daryl kind of joins this group of bikers who are on the search for someone that killed on of their friends and that is Rick. They find Rick, Carl and Michonne and Daryl offers to take the place of Rick. The bikers start to kick the crap out of Daryl, holding guns to Rick and Michonne while some pervert tries to rape Carl. Rick cracks and ends up getting the upper hand and bites into the guys neck killing him and saving everybody else. Glenn following the instructions that Maggie is leaving for him telling him that she's heading towards Terminus, Glenn starts through this bridge and was him and Tara crawl over Tara's foot get's caught and the walkers are coming. Glenn wouldn't leave her and suddenly the walkers get shot and that's when Glenn realizes it's Maggie and they have a sweet reunion, yes I cried lol. Their group continues on to Terminus and that's all we see. Then Rick, Carl and Michonne with Daryl show up and it was strange, and unnerving. Rick knew immediately that something was off and he was right. They try to leave but they are herded like animals to this area that has old train cars and by gun point they are herded inside one of them and find the other survivors of the prison raid. 

 Run!!!!

 The aftermath

Do not trust him.

Don't know what to expect from the next season but I can't wait to find out.

Bitten Season 1 Finale 

Together once again

So I've probably mentioned that I am a huge fan of the books and this season of Bitten has had it's up and downs. The upside side is I find it interesting enough to tune in every week, plus I love the guy that plays Nick, and the chemistry between Elena and Clay has gotten better and even though Clay is not the Clay from the books the guy that plays him is kinda hot. Downsides are they killed Antonio, which doesn't not make sense, they focused on the Elena and Philip relationship but I guess that helps build the story. I found it went too far off the books but I knew getting into this show that it wouldn't be exact. With the finale it was nice seeing Clay and Elena make up and get back together, and Victor Olsen getting his just desserts. I liked the fact the Logan disappeared with his annoying girlfriend and I hope that if they do make a second season that those two don't come back.

The Pack finally face off against the Mutts but on their terms and their property. Daniel Santos's main objective is getting Elena and probably killing Clay. Carl Marsden decided on making a deal with the pack to survive. Even with Clay being under the weather due to Santos torturing him, the pack wins. And that's when we find out that the man behind everything was not Santos but it was Malcolm Danvers, Jeremy's dad, who they thought was dead. 

 Santos you ass

 Take that asshole

 Sweet justice at last

This was just weird

So now with the season over I'm not sure what's going to happen next. Are they going to somewhat follow the books as in Elena gets kidnapped and we enter the world of witches and demi demons?? Or what?? Well I know I will tune in, keep an eye out for any news on this show and if you hear any rumblings leave a comment.

Now for the sad one

Being Human Series Finale

Do not trust crazy little girls in corduroy jumpers

This is so sad. I was not happy when Syfy decided to cancel Being Human. I know that Sally can be annoying sometimes and that where else and what else could they do to Aiden, Nora and Josh but I was happy with where they were but I am also happy with how they ended it. Spoilers, turn back if you can lol

Aidan no!!!!

I was sad that within the first five minutes Sally was gone, giving her soul to Aiden. And surprise by her sacrifice Aidan started aging and aging. Oh plus the reason Sally gave Aidan her soul is so he could (A) be human again and (b) save josh from the houses influence on Aidan, where Aidan almost killed Josh. So knowing that he was going to die, Aidan to protect anybody who enters their old, possessed house, he was thrown down the stairs hitting his head exactly where Sally died the first time and in his dying seconds he lit his lighter and burned the house down saving everybody. Aidan then returns as a ghost and he gets his door to move on, after the goodbyes he walks through to find his true love, Sally waiting for him. Tears :( Now with the house destroyed Josh and Nora move on with their lives and at the very end it shows them dreaming about Aidan and Sally and when they awake they scoop up their children Sally and Aidan and move on with their lives. Good ending, sad but good.

 Finally together

Where are the kids??

So, that is all folks!!!!!

Week of March 3 to 7th

Okay so the last couple weeks the TV world was on hiatus a little due to the Olympics and now since we're back to normal programming I can tell you what I think.

The Walking Dead:

So everybody is still separated, Beth and Darryl are still together; Rick, Carl and Michonne are still together; Glenn is still with that girl from The Governor's team trying to find Maggie and they also have met up with new people who look like ginger GI Joe, GI Joe Barbie and mister mullet Redneck. I'm not sure about Maggie and her group, or Carol and the girls. But right now I have no idea where the show is head and sometimes that's a good thing and a bad thing, but I will always tune in for it.

Bitten:

With Bitten I'm enjoying it. At first they were kind of staying close to the books but now, they are way off and I think that was their plan. Kelley Armstrong the author, has wrote on her Facebook page that the show is loosely based on books and there have been not so nice comments left on her wall. It's not really fair that people are so upset about it. At the beginning I didn't like some of the actors brought on for the characters and I know that happens when people love the books so much but I'm not freaking out about it. People need to relax and if they are so upset with the choices that the show's creators and producers are making then stop watching it and let people, like myself, who are enjoying it, enjoy it. I guess you can't make everyone happy.

Being Human:

I know with my last post about Being Human I told you that if there are people out there not watching it to watch it, and that is still true but I found out last week that they have cancelled the show and this is the last season ending in April. I was shocked because I thought a lot of people where watching it because it's fantastic but apparently there aren't. I hope that maybe Netflix or one of those online TV channels might buy it up and continue on but I don't think it's going to happen. So I hope that it ends on a high note and believe me how the last couple of weeks have been going it should.

Supernatural:

It just came back from a little hiatus which is great but I was disappointed with the last episode. I thought it was going to be fantastic because GhostFacers were back but it just seemed like a filler episode. I'm also getting so tired of seeing Sam and Dean hate each other so much. It's just sad.

The Following:

If there is anyone out there not watching this show you need to start, immediately. This show is amazing. The cast is perfect, the writing and plot are amazing, so amazing that you truthfully have no idea what is going to happen next, it changes like that and I love it. I would classify this show as a combination of Dexter and Criminal Minds and it works perfectly.

Helix:

I am behind by a couple episodes and I will catch up hopefully this weekend.

Movie Review:

300 - Rise of an Empire

Okay I went last night with a couple of friends and my movie experience started off kind of embarrassing when I dumped half of bag of popcorn on the poor guy in front of me. Sorry :( I felt like a complete ass and couldn't stop apologizing and the funny thing is he ate the popcorn that landed on his lap, lol. 

We ended up watching it in 3D plus the theatre we were at had these seats called D Boxes, and for those who don't know what those are they shake and vibrate along with the movie, and even though we didn't sit in those seats we actually sat across from them we still go to feel it and it was kind of cool. I think I will try the D Boxes, maybe for Captain America.

Okay so for the movie it was good. I watched 300 the night before getting all prepared for it and the second installment was not bad. Very bloody, but with the type of movie it is it should be expected. I liked the aspect that it shows what the rest of Greece is doing while the 300 Spartans march towards their doom. I also like the back story of how the King God became like that and his reasoning of why to attack Greece.

Overall it was a good movie, with a good amount of action. So I give it the 'V' stamp of approval.

To end this entry I have to say RIP Harold Ramis, you will be missed.

Week of Feb 10th to 16th

So overall not a too crazy week in my world. Work, sleep, repeat, boo!! But The Walking Dead is back and that's a plus, a big plus. So here we go!!

1. The Walking Dead
We have two episodes to get through
Episode 9

This was the mid-season premiere of Season 4. I really hated that we had to wait so long but I'm happy it's not as long of a wait as the show Sherlock (2 years between Season 2 and Season 3). This episode focused on the aftermath of the Prison being taken over by walkers. Everybody gets separated and we come across Rick and Carl. Carl is beyond pissed off a Rick, who is beaten and severely injured from his fight with the Governor. They find refuge in a house and surprise Carl doesn't stay where he's supposed to and Rick couldn't do anything due to succumbing to his injuries (well at the time you may think he dies but he's Rick, he's good). Carl like usual does things he's not supposed to which means he gets trapped and almost bitten by Walkers but he manages to escape and it concludes with him almost shooting Rick due to thinking Rick is dead, then there was a knock on the door.

Episode 10

This episode opens with Beth and Darryl. They are just wandering around trying to not get bit without any intended destination. Next you come across the little girls from the jail and the big guy Tyreese and Tyreese turns and you see that he has Judith, thank goodness. Judith keeps crying which brings the Walkers closer and closer and Tyreese runs off to help some other people and that's when Carol finds the girls and Judith. They find out that there is a town up ahead off the tracks offering a safe place. That's the way they headed. Next was Glenn. I though at the mid season finale he was on the bus but apparently he got off the bus going back for Maggie and he wakes up on top of a broken bridge surrounded by Walkers. He makes it back into the jail where he loads up with his SWAT gear and heads out and finds a girl from the Governors group. They both leave searching for others. Maggie, Sasha, and Bob find the bus completely filled with Walkers. Maggie thinks the worst that Glenn is on there so they let the Walkers out and she finds out the good news.

2. So after reading my blog entry last week over I noticed that I forgot Supernatural. I can't believe I would forget my boys.

So like usual Sam and Dean are fighting. In the first episode of the Season Sam was dying due to the trials from last season. Sam was gravely ill and Dean did what he had to to save him. An angel said that he could possess Sam and heal him and once Sam was healed he would leave. The Angel who gave a false name lied, who knew Angels could lie. Sam did get better slowly but the Angel still had some control. While the boys did their normal case work Castiel, who is now human, went out on his own. He started working at a Variety Store and he even ended up getting laid, you go Case, you go. LOL. Well Case ended up stealing another's Angel's grace and became one of the Angels again. Now as Sam and Dean solved cases Crowley who is imprisoned at their lair helped from the side lines. No I know Crowley is a bad guy but I love Crowley, he's hilarious. The Angel that possessed Sam started working with Metatron, who is a bad guy, and poor Kevin got stuck in the crossfire.

3. Bitten
Episode 6

At the end of the last episode Elena went back to Toronto for her boyfriend's sister's wedding. While she was there Clayton and Jeremy had an unwelcome guest who tried to challenge Jeremy for Pack King. Jeremy won and he got Clayton to rip out the mutt's teeth. Clayton, who is trying to become more of a man than werewolf, for Elena to win her back called her upset with what he was doing and that pulled on my heart strings a little. Daniel Santos, one the of rogue mutts, showed up to the wedding. He has some fascination with Elena, and I get it she's the only female werewolf.
Now to go off the show. I've read the books and I have noticed that they have stayed somewhat true until this one. I knew that this would happen, this always happens with books that are made into movies and tv shows, they all go off at some point. Now I'm fine with it, I want to see where it goes but I was on Facebook today and since I follow Kelley Armstrong (the writer of the book series) she mentioned the back lash for Saturday's episode. People you know how this goes, movies and TV shows rarely stay true to the books and if they did they would be incredibly long. It would be nice but it's just not plausible. So watch it and don't judge it until the end. :)

4. Being Human

I totally recommend this show for lovers of the supernatural and paranormal world. You get a ghost, a vampire and a werewolf living together, it's great. Josh and Nora end up throwing a impromptu baby shower for their new werewolf friends but it turns out to be a big raging party for a pack of werewolves. Josh's sister, who is a recovering alcoholic, shows up and starts to have a panic attack since she's trying to stay away from alcohol. With all the werewolf people there it gets a little awkward when Aidan and Kenny show up drunk on blood and that's when the party gets started. Aidan is all depressed because him and Kat broke up but it was funny watching Aidan all care free. Now Sally, who should not be doing any magic at all, decides to try to help Josh's sister she gets sent back to the roaring 20's and see's a side of Aidan that she never wants to see again.

5. Robocop

Okay so on Saturday when we were at the theatre the plan wasn't Robocop but it was on. I was never a huge fan of the first one and I really had no desire to watch this one other than on video later on but I did. I wouldn't consider this as a remake more of a reboot, or re-imagining of Robocop. The story is kind of similar but at the same time not a all. I'm pretty sure in the first Robocop his family dies well this one their still alive. I think the common thing was in both movies Murphy a.k.a Robocop is a good cop and follows the rules and ends up dealing with the wrong people and dirty cops. 
The movie was okay, the parts where they show what is left of him in human ways was completely unbelievable and a little stupid but the action parts of the movie were decent. I've seen better but I have seen worse. So if you end up at the theatre and there is nothing else on in the action movie department, watch it and judge for yourself.

Until next week, toodles.
