Thoughts for August 15, 2017

• Already halfway through August! :( Can we please hit the 'pause' button to delay the arrival of September!
• Orphan Black series finale: it was a nice tidy happy ending for all. I just wasn’t satisfied with the way they let Allison and Felix waste away to become shadows of their former selves. They were both so vibrant ( Read more... )

Thoughts for August 9, 2017

• Floaters suck…I wish they’d go away. And I need a massage.
• Is the new fridge working properly??? I have no idea. The temperature gauge reads perfect one minute and on the verge of spoiling the next. GE help please.
• Currently reading - Ice Like Fire - I’m about 5 chapters away from finishing book two in this trilogy. Meira ( Read more... )

Here we are almost two weeks later and yes, I'm still sick. At least I feel better...I just sound sick. With this cold weather I can't open windows in my condo so I'm not really getting much fresh air and that is not helping. I just want to be able to breathe clearly again and stop coughing. Meh...can't be much longer now. First day of spring is ( Read more... )

While Grease Live! won’t make anyone forget the original film any time soon, it sure was a fun ride. It certainly couldn’t have been easy figuring out a way to placate the legions of fans of the original movie while also bridging the gap between live television and theatre. The hybrid staging technique that was employed saw this show spread across ( Read more... )

For the few Reign fans out there, a great new addition to the cast…even if he is only a guest-star….(if you aren’t caught up on Reign, spoilers ahead…)

“When it came time for King Francis to die on 'Reign', the show knew it wanted to throw fans for a loop. So instead of sending Francis out after his long battle with whatever was happening with ( Read more... )

Tonight marks the official debut of The Magicians, a new series is based on the book trilogy by Lev Grossman. I do own the trilogy but have held off on reading it until after watching the full first season of the series. I already viewed the premiere episode and was completely hooked within the first five minutes. Yes it looks like a cross between ( Read more... )

Tonight marks the return of one of my fav series - Black Sails. The season three premiere is scheduled at 10pm on SuperChannel in Canada. Ahh, Black Sails. Let us just stop to pause and reflect for a moment on the show that brought us the best season finale of 2015… #PiratesUnite.

Things I’m looking forward to in the third season:
~ Blackbeard ( ( Read more... )

Cue the lights and get the popcorn ready...

"Devoted X-Files fans have been waiting nearly 14 years for new episodes. The dream finally comes true with the arrival of six new episodes premiering next week. While this is obviously cause for celebration, let’s not forget where all that excitement comes from: the original series. Creator and ( Read more... )

I’ve heard tidbits about a few new intriguing television series that are and/or will be airing abroad. Any news on if/when and/or what Canadian network will be picking these babies up?

• Beowulf - ITV is airing this in the UK
• The Last Kingdom - airing on BBC2/BBC America
• London Spy - on BBC America
• Shadowhunters - on Freeform (formerly ABC Family) in the ( Read more... )

After a day to reflect, below are my thoughts on the Golden Globes ceremony itself. Comments on the fashion will follow in a separate post.

The Host:

• In comparison to Tina and Amy, Ricky Gervais sucked. He wasn’t a bad host…just not as good as Tina and Amy. I didn’t think he was particularly memorable - his jokes and/or ‘insults’ were mild and tame ( Read more... )
