Random thoughts of a crowded mind
I’ve watched four episodes of NBCs Believe and I’m sorry but I’m not a believer. When I first heard about Believe I was excited at the prospect of another TV series about someone with special powers. I really need to realise that these types of shows can be limited in storytelling. Bo Adams (Johnny Sequoyah) …
I have an on again off again relationship with The Walking Dead and this season has been a bit disappointing in places. You must know I’m excited about an episode when I put words to paper, or whatever the blogging equivalent is. The splitting of the survivors into smaller groups has been great for character …
Review of Scandal season 3, episode 11 Scandal finally returned after a two-month break and I was as excited as the next gladiator. However, this is the first time I’ve watched an episode of Scandal and was ‘OK stuff happened’. Don’t get me wrong I’m not ragging on Ride, Sally, Ride but it didn’t make …
I’ve been quietly checking out Syfy’s latest supernatural TV series, Bitten staring Laura Vandervoort as Elena Michaels, the only female werewolf in existence. The series premiered in January and passed my four episode test with only a few reservations. After watching episode 6 entitled Committed, I have to admit I’m committed or as I like to …
I’ve given Being Mary Jane the four-episode test and I’m not sure how I feel about the series. I don’t love it but I don’t hate it. Well actually, I hate a lot of the characters but unlike Mistresses, the show doesn’t have me flipping through my iPad for distractions. Being Mary Jane stars Gabrielle …
It’s been a week since I watched Matt Smith’s final appearance in The Time of the Doctor and I still get headachy and weepy if I think about it. My mind can’t stop wondering off into the Whoniverse even when I’m watching another TV show. It’s ridonculous! I imagine this is how other Who fans …
Knowing someone is going to pass out of your life can be a blessing and a curse. I have been putting off thinking about what Doctor Who will mean to me once Matt Smith leaves but I had to face my fears whilst watching the Doctor Who Christmas special, The Time of the Doctor. I …
When I first heard that Charles Michael Davis was going to play Marcel, in The Originals I thought ooh he’s pretty, does that mean the storylines are going to suck. I’m brash like that but it’s a genuine concern. We clamoured for a Vampire Diaries spinoff starring the Original Vampires but never really thought about …
I didn’t think the stars would align perfectly enough for me to watch the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary episode without any interruptions whatsoever, but it happened. I sat alone in my front room watching my Doctors in peace and quiet. It was awesome! The Day of the Doctor was an awesome romp through time and …
Watch the newly released Doctor Who minisode. The Last Day is a clip under four minutes long, set on Gallifrey. It follows last week’s free, seven-minute minisode The Night Of The Doctor, which featured the return of eighth Doctor Paul McGann. The viewer watches the action unfold from the point of view of a Gallifreyan solider …
The Doctor has been a person of secrets but now they can be told in this special minisode, The Night of The Doctor. In the run up to the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary special, the BBC released this minisode starring Paul McGann. This clip will for the first time ever reveals what became of the …
The season four premiere of Haven started with a splash, literally, as Duke was unceremoniously ejected from the barn into a seal tank. If you remember in the season three finale, Duke had dived into the barn (again literally) to save Audrey because it was falling apart. In Fallout, it’s six months later and he’s …
Another late review for Under the Dome, I don’t know why I’m not rushing back every week to watch the show. Oh yes, I do, it’s because it’s killing me slowly inside which is why this will be my last review of a show I thought had promise. Can’t get them all right I guess. …
Season 1, episode 8 The interesting thing about watching Under the Dome right now is the appearance of monarch butterflies. They are everywhere in my corner of the UK at the moment and although it’s the time of year for them it’s kinda spooky that they are featured in the series. I was chilling in …
Season 1, episode 8 If I was in denial about Agent Paul Briggs being dirty this week’s episode of Graceland entitled Bag Man put me straight. Mike has become Bello’s delivery boy and whilst the team try to track all his exchanges, the elusive Odin Rossi gives them the slip every time. I like of …
Season 1, episode 7 As one life comes into the world another is taken Imperfect Circles was slow paced compared to the riots of last weeks Under the Dome. This week a woman died and another had a baby all regular stuff really if you discount the fact that Angie was not abused in this …
Season 4, episode 8 Occasionally there are episodes of Pretty Little Liars that will get me thinking beyond what is being shown to me, and The Guilty Girl’s Handbook is such an episode. Hanna is not taking her mum’s imprisonment lying down and has decided to confess to killing Wilden to get her mum released. …
Season 1, episode 6 In the aftermath of the Mother of all Bombs, the people of Chester’s Mills are disappointed to find that the dome is still standing. I feel weird saying this after all my moaning but this episode wasn’t bad. I had feelings for a couple of characters and I laughed at one point (don’t …
Season 1, episode 7 I am super tempted to do weekly reviews for Graceland as it’s turning out not to be the low key little show I imagined it to be. Last week’s episode, Hair of the Dog ended with Briggs’ revelation that he was a heroin addict. After the way he supported Charlie and kept …
Season 4, Episode 7 Following last week’s episode, this week I’m back to enjoying Pretty Little Liars for what it is: a teen drama where sometimes people don’t behave the way they should, and the antagonist cannot be revealed until the end otherwise, the show would be over. I’ve spent the last few weeks concerned …
Season 1, episode 5, Blue on Blue We are back under the butter dish that is the dome and the military are planning drastic action. It’s another day in Chester’s Mills and Joe and Nori are taking an early morning stroll around the dome in Blue on Blue. Joe discovers a huge swarm of monarch …
Season one, episode 4 It’s day three under the dome and the town experiences an Outbreak. Despite looking forward to this week’s episode of Under the Dome I found myself multi-tasking. I actually fired up my iPad and played a couple of games of Bejewelled Blitz. If I’m multi-tasking during a show, I’ve either seen …
Season 1, episode 1 Pretty Little Liars is pissing me off so badly with its failure to answer simple questions so I decided to check out the Twisted Pilot. The show premiered back in June but my teen drama quota was already filled with Teen Wolf and Pretty Little Liars. I’ve made room in my schedule …
Season four, episode 6 The writers of Pretty Little Liars were probably sitting in the writer’s room feeling guilty about the lack of reveals in the season so far, so they came up with this week’s Under the Gun to explain themselves. I imagine someone saying this: We totes copped out for four seasons and are fast …
