"They think it’s too gay!"

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009


D’Anna from Battlestar Galactica faffed about on the fracked-up ***** (no spoilers) and then turned up on The L Word, investigating the death of one of the main characters (in the swimming pool), which was interesting. A murder mystery on top of the artistic integrity plot about the movie based on the lives of the characters in the show? … very post-modern and all that. With most of the episode being a flashback is it the lesbian Lost? Is ***** going to be the new Laura Palmer? God I hope not.

In good news, the remaining three episodes of Pushing Daisies are due to be shown on ITV as season two starts next Friday and they are showing all 13 of them.

Lost was back too, and so was Doctor Marvin Candle. Hurrah! Also: Nosebleeds, flaming arrows, Cheech, that cute kid, timey wimey nonsense… you get the idea.

We tried to watch that new BBC Four comedy called Cowards but it unfortunatley inspired zero smiles after five minutes so we donged the imaginary gong and turned it off.

The Daily Mail had some corkers today:
Mum
Might not be the best parenting idea to pose with the daughter you don’t love in a national newspaper, dear.

A little opinion poll with surprising results:
Polls
I was kidding. Miserable fucks in their big houses, the lot of them. Are they “finished” yet?

And Michelle Ryan? Why not? she does have nice tits after all.

The Sun Never Shines on TV

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008


As I am on holiday I have time for nice things like cookery, cleaning, sorting out bookcases, ironing, reading books, writing stuff and watching telly stuff of the web. Here are some things:
True Blood
True Blood’s first episode is pretty much the same as the leaked pilot but with a nice title sequence (why is it only ‘grownups’ channels have them these days?) featuring Jace Everett’s Bad Things song and some harsh imagery. Loved the ‘God Hates Fangs’ sign but the maggoty animal was a bit much! Ruttina Wesley replaces Brook Kerr as best friend “uppity” Tara but everyone else is still there, including Vampire Bob from Brentwood, Essex aka that place where I was born. I reviewed this ages ago and I still love it. It’s still something those Whedon fans who miss the old vamp shows will enjoy in between all the comics.

Sons Of Anarchy
With The Shield on its final season, FX needs a new show for men! How about Sons Of Anarchy? It’s a small town motorcycle gang extravaganza and it features Hellboy, Nathan From Queer As Folk, Peg From Married With Children, Skinner From The X-Files, Adriana From The Sopranos, Anita From Six Feet Under and Dutch From The Shield. Lots of rude words, bikes, shooting and tragedy. Shakespeare with (motorcycle) helmets? Anybody? I quite enjoyed it and will give it a go.

Dexter’s back!
Dexter
In episode 3.1 Dexter goes to the dentist, makes pancakes and buys some donuts. Deb gets a new hairstyle, gives up bad habits and makes an enormous faux pas in front of Special Guest Star Jimmy Smits. Someone gets promoted, Masouka writes an article, the new guy is under suspicion and the season arc involves Dexter’s ‘Code’ violation…

And finally, something I heard from some virtual lesbians made me happy:
L Word spinoff

The previously announced online spinoff of The L Word will revolve around Leisha Hailey’s Alice, Showtime announced today. In-between shooting The L Word, Hailey has been busy promoting her new rock band, Uh Huh Her, which recently released its first album, Common Reaction.
