Well its Christmas holidays time and most the shows I watch have finished so I thought, why not, I'll do 1 of my rare blogs. There will be spoilers for shows that i have watched this year so be warned.

Supernatural:

I started this season of a bit annoyed, much like i did last season. From season 1 i missed all the funny times, that couldnt happen while their father was dead, (yes i think i was expecting to much as well) but then just as i started to love season 2 storywriting it changed again. The first ep seemed to full with Dean acting suicidle, juggling seven demons oh and Dean telling Sam his secret the first episode of the season. (Sam, learn from your brother) Another thing that annoyed me at the start of the season was the constant mentioning of Dean's deal (Deans whole "i got 1 year to live thing was getting on my nerves after the tenth time he said it) and the demons in every second episode. I know this was me being unreasonable again since all the demons had been let out of hell and Dean only having a year to live was a big deal. However as the season went on it got better and better. By season going on i mean the second episode was worth just forgetting the first. My favourite episode of the whole season had to be Bad Day at Black Rock. When you think bad luck you usually dont think of tripping over a beer bottle to fall onto a big fork and have it pertrude through the otherside of your head. Sam's bad luck had me laughing weeks after between his puppy dog face "I lost my shoe" and the whole air conditioner scene "aww come on, I wasnt even touching..." The only part of that episode that annoyed me was the whole Gordan saying "Sam Winchester must die" TWICE. The line has been done to many times for me to appreiciate it. Its like when I was watching Star Wars again, I saw the whole Darth Vader scene "Luke i am your father" and got annoyed cause of how many times that has been done just to think "Hey that was the first time it was ever done." The season got better and better and I can't wait for the Christmas episode. Bela got a bit tiresome in the end, you know with her being in almost EVERY EPISODE, but they made up for that by having so much more gore than usual. The bleach scene, power saw scene, fork scene, drowning scene and oh yes the decapitation of Gordan with barbed wire. The christmas episode also promises to be gory but i shant give away any details. I promise to update the blog once i see it (if i remember) Ok since this blog will be big as it is, its time to move on to Heroes. OK ive decided I'm going to do a funny quote from those shows with elements of comedy.

A quote from Bad Day at Black Rock

Dean: I'm Batman.
Sam: (sarcastically) Yeah, you're Batman.

Heroes:

At the start of season I was a bit cautious with Heroes, having been so disappointed with the last season finale. Peters whole blowing up for about 20 minutes really annoyed me and the lack of Peter and Sylar show down... anyway thats a rant for another day. The first few episodes really disappointed me. The introduction of the Twins felt all wrong (as did Monica, but at least she was related to 1 of the heroes) Maya should of been cloaked in mystery like Sylar was last season. We should of been asking, whats her powers, whats her twins powers, Why are they going to america. Instead we heard the answers to those uestions in the first few episodes if it even took that long. I decided I needed to take a different approach to heroes to properly enjoy and therefore banned myself of the forums until i had seen the episode. Of course right after this my downloader broke and i had to wait for youtube. The season slowly got better and better, out of time being 1 of my favourite episodes. I had to say I prefered Peter this season, Less I'm special and I'm the only 1 who can save the world and more robbery, should i kill him. Out of time brought the mystery of Adam to a conclusion (even though most had already figured out the answer) and at the same time gave a new mystery of what was his connection with Peter. Its good Peters character improved though as Niki's took a turn for the worst. Last season i was more of a "Jessica trap Nikki in the mirror already and go kill somebody" so of course i was upset when Jessica disappeared. I liked to think of Nikkis power to be like the hulk and to turn that into a mental disorder was kinda depressing. Some characters like Matt became less annoying, some like Claire did the opposite but overall the season improved immensly in the end and was convincing enough for me to watch the third volume. I character that got on my nerves was Sylar as i wished they had killed him of last season. His need to kill people got boring and he only redeemed himself in the last episode.

extra spoilers for my Aussie friends (courtesy of Suze warning me this is even more spoilered than the last part)

Speaking of the last episode i thought it was brilliant, even though Niki and Nathan died. R.I.P I think HRG killed Nathan and that Peter is going to go on a rampage, which sadly enough i think is about time. He's to powerful to be a good guy. In fact i sorta thought he had gotten the virus when he had powder on his hand until i realised he was immune. (bet the writers are kicking themselves for destroying there best way to get rid of him) I really hope they dont bring Nikki and Nathan back from the dead cause the moment a show brings all of its characters back from the dead, it becomes a soap like Days of our Lives *shudder* Nathan sadly needed to die because otherwise Peter will be all happy and we can't have that. Also he needed to die because of that annoying hair ****but we wont speak of that again.

Doctor Who:

Ill only write a small 1 for doctor who as it was at the beginning of the year and i cannot remember it all. Great season though I sadly admit that i was 1 of those I hate Martha Jones people. It wasnt because i wanted Rose back, as far as I'm concerned good riddance, it was more the fact that she loved the doctor and they kept bringing it up and shoving it in our faces. Why does every companion have to love the doctor. Even Captain Jack did for God's sake. I mean the old season has a taboo against that kind of thing and the new season has him kissing everybody. Martha seemed like a clone Rose, smarter yes, but still crushing after the doctor with another annoying Mother that i wish the master had zapped with his Laser Screwdriver. Dont get me wrong, I loved the season, I just can't stand the companions obsession with the Doctor. Probably why I'm looking forward to Donna. I mean sure she might get a bit annoying but at least she is 1 companion who wont crush after the doctor. (and if writers make it so she does, so help me...) Anyway favourite episode of the season were Runaway Bride, Blink and Utopia. I loved the new master so much. The gas mask scene in sound of drums is the easiest way to give readers an idea of his character.

Mr. Saxon: A glorious day! Downing Street rebuilt, the Cabinet in session... let the work of government begin. (flings official papers all over the room) Oh, go on. Crack a smile. It's funny, isn't it? Albert? Funny? No? Little bit?
Albert: Very funny, sir. But if we could get down to business, there is the matter of policy, of which we have very little...
Mr. Saxon: No no no, no. Before we start all that, I just wanted to say... thank you. Thank you, one and all. You ugly, fat-faced bunch of wet, snivelling traitors.
Albert: (embarrassed cough) Yes, quite. Ah, very funny. But I think...
Mr. Saxon: No! No, that wasn't funny. Hmm. You see, I'm not making myself very clear. Funny is like this (puts on exaggerated smiley face). Not funny is like this (frowny face). And right now, I'm not like... (smiley face) ...I'm like... (frowny face) ...because you are traitors. Yes, you are! As soon as you saw the vote swinging my way, you abandoned your parties and you jumped on the Saxon bandwagon! So... this is your reward.
(He sits down and puts on a gas mask)
Albert: Excuse me, Prime Minister, do you mind my asking, what is that?
Mr. Saxon: (muffled) A gas mask.
Albert: I beg your pardon?
Mr. Saxon: (removes mask) It's a gas mask. (replaces mask)
Albert: Yes, but, um... why are you wearing it?
Mr. Saxon: (muffled) Well, because of the gas.
Albert: I'm sorry?
Mr. Saxon: (removes mask) Because of the gas. (replaces mask)
Albert: What gas?
Mr. Saxon: (muffled) This gas.
(The "phones" on the table spray out toxic gas into the Cabinet room)
Albert: You're insane!
(Saxon smiles and gives him a big "thumbs up". The members of the Cabinet dies)

Saxon is the master, to let those who have not watched Doctor Who before understand. The only part i didnt like of him is what he does to the doctor but i think he made up for that with his continuous insane funniness. I may add more later on in the week.

This blog will be continued later on in the week, for now though blog uestion will be what was your favourite tv program this year and why.

oh and those who are wondering, my ueue button has jammed and spell checker is being evil so forgive me for some of the spelling.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MY Q BUTTON IS FIXED You dont realise how many words have Q in them until you cant use the letter Q anymore. Question, Quick, Quest... anyway on with the blog. Due to all our usual programming being taken of for the holidays I'm going to give a special mention to 1 of the new programs that i just saw last week.

Phych

Ok i just saw the episode last week and i thought the concept was hilarious. The main character, Shawn notices every single detail when he sees something. Due to this he gives many tips to the police on whos guilty just by watching the news. The police believe he's a suspect because he knows so much, so he thinks of a way to convince them hes not the robber. He pretends he's phycic. So he then solves the case, while pretending to be phycic, in otherwords faking phycic trances and all that stuff. It might not sound funny with me describing it but it was. I'm eagerly anticipating the next episode even though i think america is on season 3. To give an idea of the type of humour ill give some quotes from it.

Lassiter: Where were you the night of the last robbery?
Shawn: I was robbing a stereo shop. (laughs) I wasn't. I don't know, I guess I was doing the same thing you were doing: not solving crime.
Lassiter: You're not helping your case here.
Shawn: My case? ...Wait, wait, wait. I'm actually a suspect?
Lassiter: Oh, you're our lead suspect.
Shawn: I gave you the guy!
Lassiter: He had a partner.
Shawn: I have to find that guy? I'm confused. When do you start chipping in?

Gus: You named your fake detective agency Psych? Why didn't you just call it 'Hey, we're fooling you and the police department; hope we don't make a mistake and somebody dies because of it'?
Shawn: First of all, Gus, that name is entirely too long; it would never fit on the window. And secondly the best way you convince people you're not lying to them is to tell them you are!

Anything else thats happened:

Ok finally going to sum up whats happened this year that isnt involved with tv. In WoW (World of Warcraft (awesome internet game for those who do not know)) I reached lvl 70, grabbed my kara key, killed a lot of the enemy which for me is the alliance.

This Year i also joined TV Com and made friends with lots of great people online. I also joined Jensens Angels Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

These holidays I have decided to catch up on a lot of shows that were before my time. As such By next year i hopefully would of seen Angel, Buffy and Firefly. The reason i even thought of these shows was that i saw somebody's favourite quotes in their sig and decided to check it out. (A REASON FOR LONG SIGS TO THOSE WHO COMPLAIN ABOUT THEM) Firefly i want to watch as i got the DVD for Serenity on my birthday and decided that I want to see the back story as it was such a brilliant show.

OK well im gonna finish up, and before ppl complain how long the blog was remember that this is a sum up for THE WHOLE YEAR. OK im gonna end with random pictures that i have found on the internet that have really appealed to me. If you see one that i poached from your blog or profile, dont take it personally, i just thought it was a great picture.

My fave TV show this year is SPN!!!! Main reason would be the brotherly Sam/Dean moments...their journey ***hugs them***
Posted Dec 8, 2007 2:30 pm PT
I think S3 of SPN has been the best ever I can't wait to watch the X'mas ep...it'll be awesome....so very very awesome!

And also can't wait to see how Kripke deals with the whole Dean having to die deal & Sammy potentially turning all darkside

Blooming writers strike better not muck up my show!
Posted Dec 8, 2007 2:32 pm PT
I agree with all that you said re Heroes...this new season hasn't been as mega exciting to me like the first.

But OMG ya spoilered me...Aust is behind in the eps I don't know anything about Nathan & Nikki dying!!!! ***wipes it from my memory***

I think the last ep we had was Cautionary Tales. And they aren't airing anymore newies this year
Posted Dec 8, 2007 2:36 pm PT

Ok, so if I haven't already told you, I dig your banner! So very cool.
Posted Dec 12, 2007 6:44 am PT
Glad you joined the Jensen's_Angels. Welcome!
Posted Dec 12, 2007 6:47 am PT
I loved SPN this year. And Heroes! I can't get enough of either shows.

Ooh, and also LOST. That show is AWESOME!
Posted Dec 12, 2007 6:48 am PT
Hey Sass. I havent really watched Lost, i missed a few episodes and suddenly i didnt know what was going on anymore. My brother watches it and his theory is there all dead and have to conquer there fears to get to heaven (proving i guess for shows like that you have to have a pretty elaborate imagination)
Posted Dec 13, 2007 1:34 am PT
OOooh, you've changed your banner. It looks AWESOME!

That's the problem with LOST. If you miss an episode or two, you totally become lost with it. But you know they invented video machines so that you can TAPE shows if you're not going to be home to watch them?

Not sure if your brother is right. But we gotta wait till next year to find out what happens anyways.
Posted Dec 19, 2007 1:33 am PT
You added stuff!

Yay your Q button is fixed!

I like Psych too! Shawn's a nutter

Yipee you joined Jensen's_Angels...so happy you did *angel hugs*
Posted Dec 23, 2007 1:07 am PT
Love Angel, Buffy & Firefly. Though I still haven't seen all of Angel...need to re-watch Buffy (cos it seems like an age ago that I saw it) And I'm up to ep 5 in Firefly...and loving it. I'm getting the Serenity dvd movie for X'mas. Yay!
Posted Dec 23, 2007 1:10 am PT

Come on, I know you want to add a new blog! Go on then, add a new one.
Posted Jan 8, 2008 12:04 am PT
I agree with Sass (the crazy one) new blog is needed

**big hugs**

xxx

P.S. I vote for a new blog of pics of hotties!
Posted Jan 9, 2008 11:06 pm PT
