TV: Mass Post... Part III

Pretty sure this will be the last TV post, then we can finally move onto movies and possibly books... then back to your regular programming. Huzzah!

I watched the entire series of Smallville since I stopped blogging... probably why I stopped blogging... but since then I've been addicted to Arrow as well. There's just something about superheroes and an extra something about superheroes with no actual powers. I'm loving this cast too; Stephen Amell (Heartland), Katie Cassidy (Gossip Girl), Summer Glau (Serenity), Manu Bennett (Spartacus) and Kevin Alejandro (True Blood). One more episode until season finale and the city is falling down around them. Will they be able to stop Slade's (actually) super army?

The Tomorrow People: why am I still watching this? I have no idea... Isn't it funny how they spent 18 or so episodes looking for Stephen's dad. Then they finally find him, bring him back from the dead and he lasts a whole two episodes before he's shot and dies again! And the whole time, Stephen (Robbie Amell) was the one who was the Savior. Ugh! I was really disappointed when Hillary (Alexa Vega from Spy Kids) blew herself up and still didn't manage to take out the founder! So annoying. At least the season wrapped up nicely... and then started with a whole new plot...

Another one I'm still watching without knowing why is Glee, even though sometimes I just skip through the songs. But I think we all know that with Glee club being disbanded and all our favourite characters growing up - and Cory Monteith - this will be the last season of Glee. Maybe that's why I'm still watching... and I need a little sweetness with all these action shows I watch. I normally cook dinner while watching this show too... excuses, excuses.

And these two, they come as a pair: The Vampire Diaries and The Originals. TVD is like: doppelgangers, kill them, eat them, die, die, stab, stab and yet they still always seem to get out of whatever scrape they're in. This time it's Travellers aka Gypsies... mmhrmm. Lucky for them, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) is hot so I have to watch it. I actually prefer The Originals because Klaus (Joseph Morgan) is such a dick and I love to hate him. I enjoy Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin), Elijah (Daniel Gillies) and Davina's (Danielle Campbell) characters. The reappearance of Mikael (Sebastian Roche) interests me as well.

I think I've mentioned my love for Nathan Fillion (Serenity) before and since the hubs and I started watching Castle we've really grown attached to Stana Katic (Quantum of Solace) as well: so purdy! We love the banter between the two of them and the next/last episode looks like it's the wedding! Hooray! Hopefully it won't end tragically like Castle tends to, the hubs and I are forever expecting another sniper now...

Revolution is one show I'm actually still enjoying. The whole idea of the nano and wanting to experience life is kinda cool and yet the nano is such a dick. It could easily take out their enemies or warn them or something but it hardly ever does, no humanity, no real understanding of life. It's probably going to end up running the world and deciding who gets to live and die. I think what I really enjoy about this show is the way all the different groups keep switching from being the good guys to the bad guys... you can never really tell who's in the right. Two more episodes of this season.

So many shows! And I haven't even mentioned Black Sails or House of Cards yet... I've still got a few episodes of the awesome Banshee to watch. I'm also storing up the second season of Vikings to watch in one big chunk. Orphan Black has just started up again and Orange Is The New Black is back very soon. Exciting season!

Love Gee

TV: The Vampire Diaries SE4 EP1

The Vampire Diaries
Drama, Fantasy, Horror

I've read these books by LJ Smith and the show could not be any further from them. Elena (Nina Dobrev) is blonde in the books for a start, she has a little sister not brother and when I say little, I mean she's not even in double digits yet. Also, Meredith (Torrey DeVitto) is actually one of her best friends... in fact, its Bonnie (Kat Graham) and Meredith who Elena hangs out with at school. Caroline (Candice Accola) is a bit more of a bitch too and she doesn't vamp up.

I have no idea why I still watch it... oh wait, yes I do; Ian Somerhalder *swoons* Probably the best casting choice in this whole thing as well, exactly how I pictured Damon. Even though I don't think Nina Dobrev is cast right for Elena, I still like her... Same with Stefan and Paul Wesley. I'd like to see those two in something else maybe.

The books annoyed me too actually. The series just got more and more ridiculous and I think I even got so lost in the fifth book that I stopped reading. If I'm looking at where the show is in relation to which book it would be... if I absolutely had to pick... we are still in the first book. So when Klaus (Joseph Morgan) came along I got really excited, he triggers a whole bunch of things in the books... he does in the show too but not the things I was hoping for, until now that is!

Finally! Elena is dead! You guys have no idea how long I've been waiting for this! Shame it didn't go the way of the books where Elena kills Katherine (also Nina Dobrev)... that's all I'm giving away...I think! Tyler (Michael Trevino) is actually Klaus... but everyone thinks Tyler is dead because Klaus should be and killing him kills his whole line of vampires/hybrids... I don't even know why Bonnie put him there...

Alaric (Matthew Davis) has gone nuts and if he's right, Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) will end up going just as bonkers... and now his sister is a vampire what does that mean? Someone put Pastor Young (Michael Reilly Burke) in charge and he seems a bit...uh, righteous? He's arrested the Mayor Lockwood (Susan Walters) and Sheriff Forbes (Marguerite MacIntyre) and is trying to capture everyone... but we haven't seen Alaric yet? I would have thought he'd be all out and about and taking charge of the town...

Anyway, I'm sick of talking about this...

2 out 5 drowned Elena's...

Stefan to Matt (Zach Roerig): "No, no, you don't have to live with that, you get to live because Elena put your life before her own. so every morning you get out of bed, you sure as hell better earn it."
