Go Now And Die In What Way Seems Best To You.

The other day I started watching Fringe – it’s surprisingly good! I never watched the X-Files or anything, so the whole idea of supernatural investigations is still new to me, haha. Anyway, I’m pretty sure I’ll be following this show from now on. 

One funny thing, though, is that I just knew I recognized Walter Bishop (John Noble) from somewhere, and when I looked him up on IMDB I even recognized his name! So I went through the list of things he’s been in, and realised he was Denethor in LOTR. I hated Denethor. Ever since the first time I saw the Two Towers my mum and I were calling him the Grease Pig because I thought it suited him better xD. Seriously, though, that’s really a credit to John Bishop’s acting ability – Walter is awesome, LOL.

That’s a Freebie.

I was at a friends house the other day watching some TV shows. It came to my attention how horrifying it really is that 90210 is one of the most popular shows on television, but Arrested Development was cancelled.

Arrested Development is beyond awesome. It’s one of those few shows (that isn’t a cartoon xD) where you can watch the same episode 50 times and not get sick of it – because it’s just so funny.

It might just have been the episode of 90210 I watched, but it was honestly painful to see. The acting was bad, the plotlines were stupid, the characters weren’t even likeable or believable in any way. Why is this show so goddamn popular? Why the hell is this allowed on the air and Arrested Development isn’t? ):

I just watched the new South Park episode – Pandemic – it was awesome! I’m so relieved lol I seriously feared for the future of South Park. But this episode is just so completely random and ridiculous it’s beautiful. And it takes the piss out of Cloverfield, which is good because I really hated that movie xD

Switzerland Rules.

It’s probably an extremely common saying, but it still amuses me that characters in Shoebox, Dexter, and Twilight all claim to be Switzerland during a conflict.

Dexter – 0208 – Blast From The Past
“Hey, I’m Switzerland”
- Dexter Morgan 

Shoebox Project – Part 20
“Remus Lupin is a no-fight zone. Remus Lupin is neutral ground. Remus Lupin is Switzerland.”

Twilight – Eclipse
“I am Switzerland. I refuse to be affected by territorial disputes between mythical creatures.”
- Bella Swan

Everybody Knows That The Bird Is The Word.

I think South Park may have jumped the shark, which is sad. The latest episode is okay, a lot better than the last one, but it just lacks the awesomeness it used to have. I was expecting a twist at the end, which could actually be a product of watching too much Dexter, but still, it was way to predictable.

None of the episodes this season have been very good, actually. Eek, a Penis! had some incredibly funny moments and I enjoyed Canada on Strike, but they’re nothing compared to the old episodes. They just don’t make things like Casa Bonita or Scott Tenorman Must Die anymore. Hopefully the next episode is better?

In other news, I watched one of the new Family Guy episodes, I Dream of Jesus, last night, and it was hilarious. I usually like South Park better than Family Guy, but this episode made all the new South Parks look even more like crap lol. The entire show is just based around the song Surfin’ Bird by the Trashmen, it kicks ass ahahaha.

Peter: Brian can I see that paper for a sec? Huh, that’s odd, I thought that would be big news.
Brian: You thought what would be big news?
Peter: There seems to be an absence of a certain ornithological piece. A headline regarding mass awareness of a certain avian variety.
Brian: What are you talking about?
Peter: Oh, haven’t you heard? It was my understanding that everyone had heard.

Blood Never Lies.

I love Dexter. I’d never watched a single episode and now in the last five days I’ve watched the whole first and second seasons – the entire second season in one day. Love it! 

It’s just one of those shows where you’re sitting on the edge of your seat the whole time, and there are so many crazy little twists that just make you go WHOA! I won’t post any spoilers, but anybody who’s watched the show knows what I’m talking about. It’s the kind of show you need to watch with other people so you can keep going OH MY GOD DID YOU SEE THAT xD

The guy who plays Dexter, who’s name I do not know, is really good at being expressive without overdoing it – he can convey so much just by doing one little thing with his eyes or his mouth, it’s brilliant. And he has pretty eyes and is cute as hell, which also helps. Bwaha.

Anyway. Definitely recommend the show to anybody, it’s pure awesomeness. And not even all that gory, considering lol.

New episode of South Park came out today – pretty disappointing. I’m a big fan of South Park, I’ve seen every episode like fifty million times lol but this one just wasn’t good. Spoilers ahead so watch out! 

I dunno, the whole thing just seemed to me like they were trying way too hard to be ‘edgy’. The constant flashbacks to the ‘rape’ were over-done, I know the whole point of South Park is that it’s supposed to be in bad taste lol but they showed the same basic thing three or four times? And the thing with China taking over the world could have been a major plot – there should have been a whole episode dedicated to it, as it was it just seemed kind of watered down, like an afterthought. Also, what happened to Kenny? 

Only good thing was all the Stan/Kyle moments that made me lol xD in the scene when they’re talking about how they “can’t just forget what happened”, I seriously thought it was going to be something like that HAHA. Clearly been reading too much slash.

Oh, and the getting shot in the dick thing was pretty funny, too.
