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!!!!!

The Zombies Are Coming!!!

I will admit I have a love for Zombies. There are Zombie Books, Zombie Movies and that Zombie TV show that everybody loves. So for this post we are going to talk Zombies.

Zombie Movies I love:
Dawn of the Dead (2004) - I don't really have a good reason why I love this movie, it's a bunch of 'B' list actors or even worse, not going to mention names but it's a good zombie movie.

The Resident Evil movies - I fell in love with the first one and I have even played the game, many, many moons ago but overall I think the movies are pretty good. Especially at the beginning of the series. Yes they have made some errors in the later movies, especially making them 3D but overall I enjoy the series and I'm looking forward to the next one Resident Evil 6.

Zombieland - Okay so the premise is hilarious and Jesse Eisenburg and Woody Harrelson work so well together plus Emma Stone make it a pretty funny Zombie movie but also adding Bill Murray playing himself just makes me happy.

Also the fact that they are making a sequel is awesome except sometimes the sequels suck!!!

Shaun of the Dead - Fantastic movie and completely hilarious.

28 days later and 28 weeks later - Great take on the zombie genre

World War Z - I heard from a lot of people that they did not like this movie, that it wasn't believable but come on it's a zombie movie. The only part that I thought was strange was the part where Brad Pitt's character infected himself with a virus so he wouldn't be detected, I thought it was a little weird. But overall a good movie.

Now here are two Zombie movies which are far from the norm. First is Fido, where Zombie are kept as pets, and society lives with the knowledge of zombies and even prepares themselves for death by being decapitated after death and burying the head separately. Second is Warm Bodies, it's a feel good romantic comedy about a Zombie who falls in love with a human and because of his love for her he slowly becomes human again.

So those are the favourites for me.

Let's move onto that TV show that we all love so much:

The Walking Dead - I found the first season to be slow but damn it gets good, really good. And tonight is the finale for the 4th season and I can't wait, except I don't get AMC, damn cable companies, lol.

And apparently the CW network is supposed to be starting their own zombie show. I guess it's been in concept stage for a little bit but here's to hoping. I wouldn't mind another Zombie show.

And now for books:

There are not a lot of Zombie books out there but in my book collection I have two and they both were fantastic.

Breathers: A Zombie's Lament - This book is about Andy who dies in a car accident and comes back as a zombie and this is a normal thing in their society. He ends up going to meetings for zombies on how to live, well so call live, in their society and he meets Rita and develops feelings for her. Here is the plot summary from Wikipedia: Andy Warner is a zombie, having reanimated after a fatal car wreck that killed his wife, orphaned his daughter, and left Andy disfigured and unintelligible. Reviled and discriminated against by a society that no longer considers him human, Andy is an outcast. He spends his new existence watching cable television in his parents’ wine cellar and attending Undead Anonymous meetings with other zombies, where he finds kindred souls in Rita and Jerry. After they meet Ray, a rogue zombie who introduces them to the joys of consuming human flesh, Andy embarks on a journey of self-discovery that leads to a media-driven, class-action lawsuit on behalf of the rights of zombies everywhere.

Also Fox Searchlight pictures has bought the rights to this and Diablo Cody involved, which could be a good thing and a bad thing, has anybody seen Jennifer's Body??

Pride, Prejudice and Zombies: This is a mash-up of Pride and Prejudice and the trend of zombies. I was iffy at first if I could get through the book but surprisingly it was fantastic. My favourite is still Breathers but this one was good. This book will also be made into a movie but that was planned a couple years ago but still nothing. Natalie Portman was to star but pulled out and now apparently Lily Collins has stepped in, so here's to hoping.

Well that's all I have to say about zombie's for now. I should get back to watching Dawn of the Dead, ciao!!
