Merry Who-mas!!

Christmas day is now Doctor Who day!
To celebrate, BBC America is showing a marathon of Doctor Who episodes, starting at midnight Friday night and going all day long. Not only that but BBC America is having the first ever airing of Doctor Who at the Proms, in which Karen Gillan hosts a live event featuring an orchestra playing Doctor Who music, featuring appearances by all the Doctor's most feared enemies. Not only that, but the Doctor himself, Matt Smith, puts in an appearance as well. It all leads up to the most anticipated television event of the week, in the evening.

Tegan wants.......

Okay actually I want it for Tegan. She'd look like a little bad ass.

Must See TV!!!

So in the last year I have had plenty of time to watch TV.
Some of the things I've seen I rather wish I hadn't.......a bit like walking in on your parents doing the beast with two backs.
But there are a lot that have now made my regular viewing list.


Here are my top 5 must see TV.

#5. Ghost Adventures

There are a ton of paranormal shows on TV right now, and I hate to say it, but their all the same........except for this one.
From the first episode I watched I was hooked. It actually gave me what the other shows didn't, actual evidence. Now I know. Your thinking "all of that crap is fake anyways". Maybe so....but they fake it well.
Zak, Nick, and Aaron also make it fun. It's like going out to a haunted house with your 3 best friends. Their not afraid to show that their afraid.......and it makes you laugh.

#4. Community

Let me just start out by saying it's good to see Chevy Chase being funny again.
A friend of mine recommended this show to me. I still owe her for that.
The entire cast complements each others comic abilities. It's like watching a comedic ballet. Plus the writing is superb.
The writers are able to make constant pop culture references without feeling like it's being crammed down your throat.

#3. Psych

I have a big problem with cop/mystery TV. I've usually solved the case while the main character is still collecting evidence. I'm not being smug. I just happen to have been the kid that was reading Sherlock Holmes while the other kids were stuck on Curious George... okay I am being smug.
But when it came to Psych I had a hard time really focusing on the clues because the two main characters keep you in stitches. Just like "Community" the cast and writing are dead on perfect. The selling point for me is that although I might still figure out the "case" before they do....it's not the destination as much as the journey.

#2. House

I came in really late with this show. Thankfully there is at least one channel or another running marathons.
As I mentioned before I like Sherlock Holmes and oddly enough the character of House is based on Dr. Joseph Bell.....the doctor Sir Arthur Conan Doyle based Holmes on. Plus as I mentioned I usually solve the mysteries within 15 minutes. This being a medical show....I'm completely in the dark!
Just remember....it's hardly ever Lupus....

#1. Sherlock

Of course it's the best thing I've seen all year! It's Sherlock Holmes updated for the 20th century. Written by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss both from Doctor Who.
The 1st season was only 3 episodes but it was enough to get picked up for a 2nd season. I could gush about this show all night but I think it's better if you discover it for yourself.
It's available on DVD.

New Who.

It's almost Christmas which means a new Doctor Who Christmas episode! This year it's actually going to air on Christmas!!!
Here's a few promo shots!







Which by the way.....I know I was really harsh and actually not too keen on Matt Smiths Doctor. But I am completely sold.
What can I say?
"Bow ties are cool"

Galactus has a new herald.

The Devourer of Worlds & the Devourer of chew toys.

Zombie Survival Kit

I need one of these.........

After a long absence......

It's been almost a year since I've added anything to the blog. So I'm going to start out simple and introduce the reason for my absence.........
My Daughter Tegan Hera.

She takes up a lot of my time but she deserves every minute.
