Text of the page (random words):
series set in during the napoleanic wars which would be the early 19th century for people who have the same problem with dates that i do which is kind of cool as it s certainly not an overused time period for genre series apparently this is an alternate reality world where magic is commonplace and is based upon a book that i am also unfamiliar with by introducing two space based genre dramas this summer syfy has decided to push season two of z nation to the fall the second drama is called killjoys and is about a team of bounty hunters not one to look a gift space based genre series in the mouth i will be checking this out when it premiers on june 19th moving to another edge series season two of true detective starts on hbo on june 21st i have to say that i am extremely hesitant on this one as i ve said before catching the same lightning in a bottle is also difficult for a second season and it strikes me as doubly hard given how unique true detective s first season was i would love to be able to tell you more about it but it seems that hbo hired the same team to do the preview that did all of the next episode segments of mad men as it told me absolutely nothing about the season i ll be checking it out anyway even though i remain skeptical oh yeah my season one review of true detective is also available on the movie waffler s website awhile back i watched season one of this cool swedish series called real humans while i still haven t gotten to season two yet due to technical difficulties on my end amc is premiering their adaptation called humans with an upside down a in the title on june 28th quite honestly i m still undecided on this one as i liked the original series so much my viewing will probably depend upon whether diane has any interest in it finally we end on a non genre note with the return of showtime s masters of sex for its third season the second season didn t hold up quite as strongly for me as the first i think a lot of this had to do with the timeline jumps in the season that they needed to make to get the story up to where they wanted to for the beginning of this season i still enjoy the show very much so i ll be checking it out when it premiers on july 12th my review of season one is available here busy summer and i hope it turns out to be as interesting as it looks leave a comment may 3 2015 and then this happened a totally inconsequential picture so someone skimming the site doesn t get an unintended spoiler as long time readers of my blog will know i have been going through stargate sg 1 as i missed it back when it was on tv i m just getting to the end of season seven and a huge bombshell landed on me this is a pretty big spoiler so if you have any plans to visit the series in the future you will probably want to stop reading now for those still with me season seven has three two part stories in it the second one is called heroes which features saul rubinek arty from warehouse 13 as a documentary film maker sent by the president of the united states no less to stargate command to make a documentary of the stargate project the film will remain classified and only be shown to individuals with the appropriate security clearance until such time as the program is revealed to the public in typical stargate fashion a mission team ends up under attack and must be rescued by the sg 1 people since one of the mission team members is hurt they take dr fraiser with them to make a long story short the doctor gets shot by a jaffa energy weapon and ultimately dies this completely blindsided me i really liked dr fraiser who was played perfectly by the actress teryl rothery she was a fairly major secondary character in the series who i always thought was really cool and with stargate atlantis right around the corner i hoped she would make the transition to main character in that series which i guess won t be happening at this point i was equally surprised that this event had not been spoiled for me as i have talked about the series with numerous people over the years who watched it back in the day i don t remember if any of them actually read fantastic television but if any of you do i ll publicly thank you right now for keeping the secret over the past few years that i ve gone through the series i have finished season seven at this point and read up on some of the comments from people at the time and it seems that this decision on the part of the scifi channel as they were known at the time proved to be a largely unpopular one with the fan base season seven is the second one under scifi s production and it s pretty clear they wanted to change things up for the series as an example the large number of two part episodes in the season that i mentioned earlier i also already know that jack o neill leaves at the end of the next season it was pretty much impossible to keep that a secret at this point in time so it will be interesting to see how that plays out i was watching this along with season one of the x files and the 100 but ultimately decided to finish each season seperately as i felt that this schedule would work a little better for me reviews have been requested and will follow as i finish up those two seasons leave a comment april 23 2015 the x files and i the truth is apparently still out there this one is for my friends barry harding and stan huggins who were surprised that i didn t voice my opinions on fox announcing a new x files series barry also runs a blog called monster minions that you can check out here perhaps mini series might be a better name for it as it will only be six episodes before i go into my thoughts on this i should probably mention that i wasn t a huge x files fan back when it was on which i mentioned in my tv discoveries for 2014 article i gave a brief explanation of why this was but thought i would be able to go into a more detailed explanation here many people where surprised by my lack of viewing at the time this was especially the case given that they all knew i was a huge fan of the one season wonder kolchak the night stalker which x files creator chris carter claims was a key inspiration for his series my sister cindy made a herculean effort to get me into the series starting fairly early on and i had thought that she got me to watch my first episode i am going through season one at the moment and was reminded i was wrong one of my gaming friends chuck bickle was the other person really selling the series to me and it turns out i must have listened i recently saw the first season episode space and realized that this was my first exposure to the x files it was not a particularly good one i have a rule now about not starting series mid season and this i would guess subconsciously at least was one of the reasons why it turns out this luck i had for for picking mid season episodes to jump into a new series with worked equally as well on supernatural where my first episode was home back when it first aired when i watched supernatural in order it turned out this was a pretty awesome episode after all but it really didn t work as an intro to the series at the time getting back to my sister and the x files her first attempt was to gift me with a vhs tape of the episodes conduit and ice with the recommendation that i check out ice first this was a good move on her part because if i watched conduit first which was quite likely as i tend to watch things in release order yes i m one of those people then ice probably never would have happened her next big push came in season five with episodes like kill switch and chinga which were co written by famous authors i actually stuck with a few episodes this time which was helped again by chuck who got me to watch the episode travelers with darren mcgavin he cleverly leveraged the kolchak angle ultimately this still didn t take although i did catch the occasional episode from friends like the notorious broadcast only once episode home which is noticeably different from the supernatural episode mentioned earlier so why did my sister work so hard on me watching the series well the answer to that goes back to some of my misspent youth as a child i had always been fascinated by the occult i literally had files with articles and a shelf full of books on numerous subjects from ufos to cryptozoology combined with having a good memory and becoming a scientist later in life i guess the idea was that she could use me to answer any questions she might have on the series to my mind there was a big problem with cindy s plan for me to explain everything to her which i told her at the time there was no way the series writers were ever going to give you any straight answers because once viewers started getting them they would soon be checking out what else was on television on friday or later sunday nights this is why i ultimately preferred the stand alone monster of the week style episodes myself having grown up on older episodic format tv of course didn t hurt either in any case as i said in my 2014 tv discoveries article i am in the process of correcting the horrible mistake i made in not really watching the series i m currently going through the first season which means that i guess i m not as likely to be excited at the news of the show s return as its long suffering fans are still i am always happy when a genre show gets the green light especially one that i consider a foundation series of genre television between being only six episodes and the more sophisticated nature of television writing today i would expect a six episode story arc although my preference would be for some monster of the week action as well i m also guessing that the run will focus heavily on the show s extensive mythology which means i probably won t be watching it unless of course i hear otherwise ultimately what i would like for the series return is something that will make the largest number of the show s fans happy because even though i m more than fashionably late to the party i will at some point in the future be one of those fans watching this return as well 1 comment april 11 2015 about the walking dead watch this show it s pretty amazing awhile back i wrote about how there were certain insanely popular genre shows that i would not be talking about a whole lot in this blog while that is technically still true i will be reviewing season five of the walking dead at the movie waffler i guess i should have seen this coming when eric asked me for an overview of the first four season for his site but honestly i did not in any case if you want to see my thoughts on season five of the walking dead you can check them out here leave a comment april 2 2015 spring is here winter is coming finding an orphan black season 3 cast photo with ksenia solo proved to be more difficult than i thought it would time for my spring season viewing schedule this will cover shows i ll be watching in april may and the beginning of june since one of the june ones doesn t actually have an official start date yet i ll be following up around then with my summer viewing plans i will stick with the chronological premier dates as like i said last time i ll be using this article as a checklist for myself the only non genre entry this season is the final season of amc s mad men which begins on april 5th i can t say i m super upset by the end of this series as it s something that i think diane gets more out of than i do while i haven t regretted the ride i m most definitely getting more out of better call saul at the moment now onto the cool stuff first up is the first of four marvel netflix original series that would be daredevil to be honest the previews i have seen have not been all that inspiring for me but i ll be checking it out anyway the entire series will be available on april 10th as per netflix usual method of dumping an entire season all at once on their streaming service game of thrones returns for its fifth season on hbo beginning on april 12th for those who may have missed it the showrunners david benioff and dan weiss have announced that the series will spoil the books because they will be following the ending that george r r martin intends for his seventh and final book i felt this was as much a statement on martin s writing plans as the series schedule itself on syfy starting april 17th will be the fifth and final season of lost girl this season looks like it will be largely missing kenzi who is played by ksenia solo which is unfortunate as i really love her character however i won t have long to wait for ms solo s return as she will be joining the cast of orphan black which begins its third season a day later on bbc america this is a great little show that seems to still be largely unknown to most people my dad even likes it which means it must be pretty awesome as he generally dislikes genre content moving into may on the 3rd we have the return of penny dreadful on showtime as i said before i would have completely missed this one had i not caught a better preview for it that made it look as much like the league of extraordinary gentlemen as well as a horror series the first season had more than a few surprises in store and i m interested to see where season two takes us in june another netflix original series sense8 drops on june 5th i have been waiting for this one for quite awhile as j michael straczynski the guy who brought as babylon 5 and some equally awesome comic book series like rising stars and midnight nation is involved finally sometime in june i m guessing will be the third season of defiance on syfy my patience with this series paid off pretty nicely in season two and i m anxious to see where season three goes given the events at the end of the second an additional note on my dvd streaming would be in order as long time readers know i ve been going through stargate sg 1 and am just about to finish up season 7 i ll cover this in an upcoming post in addition to this i have begun the x files first season and on hulu plus the first season of the cw series the 100 i ll be covering the x files in another post but the latter series is something that i had gotten interested in from previews during other cw shows i watch which seems to be an awful lot given that they are still giving syfy a run for their title i m enjoying it so far but i m even more looking forward to season two as i ve heard consistently that it is even better than the first leave a comment march 25 2015 sleepy hollow season 2 review i have been working on this review for awhile now and a lot has happened over that time after season two concluded things were sort of up in the air for a bit when showrunner mark goffman decided to leave for another network fortunately a new showrunner in the form of clifton campbell has signed on and fox has renewed the series for a third season of 18 episodes so after this brief update i present my review of season two of sleepy hollow as always with my non first season reviews spoilers ma...
