Christmas Dreams

Hello Readers,

So, I know I have taken a rather extended hiatus from reviewing and I want to apologize for that. I have been extremely busy at work work, and since this blog isn't nearly big enough for me to make any money from it, I can not quit my only paying job.

So, Christmas has come and gone, and damn, was it busy. I got lots of cash money which I plan on spending on TV dvds in order review for you lot. On my list to purchase is the complete series of Battlestar Galatica. (With that said, I want to confess something. When I first started this blog the first post was dedicated to the ending of BSG. But, I was a newly convert of the show. I started watching it on the last season's mid season finale. This is that episode that is that the cliff hanger, mid season, that forces viewers to come back for the rest of the season so that they can see how it all ends. Basically, this means that I have five or six seasons before the one that I watched to view and see how the whole thing started. ) I also want to buy Dirty Sexy Money Season Two (and sadly last season). I am currently downloading Skins Series 1 and 2, and plan to purchase Series 3 when I get some more itunes gift cards.

Kings and Defying Gravity will also be purchased this January. I will also keep my eyes open for Mad Men, Season Two.

Leave a comment and let me know what shows you want to buy with your Christmas money.

Misfits


I have said it before and I will continue to say it, The UK has the best television. I am not sure why they keep beating us to the punch. Maybe because we have more money invested in film and they invest more in television. I am not sure.

With this latest dramodey from across the pond, we follow a group of teens who must perform community service for crimes they have committed. The characters interact with each other and we begin to see who they are. What they did to get them there, and what they want from life.

Oh, did I forget to mention a mysterious storm that gives them super powers? All the kids get a super power (some know right away, some have net to reveal themselves, but I think it is only a matter of time.) Kelly can head people's thoughts. Curtis can turn back time while Simon can make himself invisible and Alisha can turn people on sexually when they touch her skin. This power is by far the scariest, because men keep trying to rape her, when they accidentally touch her.

The show is good. I have posted the first part of the pilot episode. check it out and if you want to see more, go to youtube and finish watching. Leave a comment for me.
