Your main fandom of the year?

Discworld:  I attended the 2nd North American Discworld Convention (in Madison, Wisc this last July) just a few months before the latest Discworld novel, Snuff, was released.  I actually spent some time online discussing making the sock puppets and various

GoT was certainly my surprise for the year - I was really nervous about what they would do compared to the books but they certainly seem to be going for a good match to the books, so far.

Sadly, Ringer was also a bit of a let-down for me - just didn't captivate me. I watched way past when I would usually give up on a show - it was SMG after all - but my interested just melted away, sadly. Terra Nova was another that just didn't sustain my interest - the two lead male actors seemed very awkward and wooden for too long.

Misfits is a real gem - I've only seen the first five episodes of S3 but it is just as great as ever.

I'm also really hopeful for The Hunger Games - the trailer looks Ok and they seem to have got themselves a good cast so let's hope .....

My current interest is The Almighty Johnsons which seems to be shaping up well. I've only seen a couple of episodes so far but it looks good.

I've never even heard of 'The Almighty Johnsons' (I'm downloading the first episode as I write)... thanks for the recommendation!

Yeah, I have high hopes for 'Hunger Games', I hope it doesn't disappoint....
And I adore 'Misfits'

Oh I'm afraid 'Terra Nova' lost me almost immediately, the whiney/spoiled teenagers... it was like they were redoing 90210 only w/dinosaurs (yuck). I didn't even try to give it a chance, but I really did try to watch 'Ringer'... only to dislike it more and more. It is too bad.

I hope you are having a great Christmas (if you celebrate it) and will have a wonderful 2012!
