Blech.
Really. This is the best they could come up with? I feel like this doesn't say a thing about the story line or the show in general.
LAME!!

Day 5 without a real computer
So I`ve been slumming it on a PC for the last couple days (thank the lord for my ipod or I would have gone postal) as my baby is at the doctors getting a new fan and DVD drive. As a result my blogging has, and will, suck.
in other news here are some delayed and incomplete posts
Marvel has announced Furys new mystery woman slah side kick. Apparently Colbie Smulders is in talks to play maria hill. My fingers are still crossed for Morena Baccarin to show up somewhere

More teasing about that greatest project ever.
I swear every other montht there is a different rumor about this book.

According to the good people over at Screen Rant screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (Fringe, Transformers, 5-0) have gotten thier hands on Enders Game and are shoppping around a script. These boys as just gonna reboot everything! Honestly, I'm usually a fan of what they do and I love the book. I09 also made a comment about how the movie might be difficult to market, and I agree, the whole thing may not transfer well to the screen at all. Apparently they've got Gavin hood on board (X-men Origins) and they're making the rounds. I wonder of OSC is going to feel about this?

Women in Refridgerators
Women in Refrigerators (or WiR[1]) is a website that was created in 1999 by a group of comic book fans. The "Women in Refrigerators Syndrome" describes the use of the death or injury of a female comic book character as a plot device in a story starring a male comic book character. The website features a list of female comic book characters that had been injured, killed, or depowered as a plot device within various superhero comic books. Also, the site seeks to analyze why these plot devices are used disproportionately on female characters.
The term "Women in Refrigerators" was coined by writer Gail Simone as a name for the website in early 1999 during on-line discussions about comic books with friends. It refers to an incident in Green Lantern #54 (1994), written by Ron Marz, in which Kyle Rayner, the title hero, comes home to his apartment to find that his girlfriend, Alex DeWitt, had been killed by the villain Major Force and stuffed in a refrigerator.[2]
Simone and her friends then developed a list of fictional characters, superheroines who had been "killed, maimed or depowered."[3] The list was then circulated via the Internet over Bulletin Board System, e-mail and electronic mailing lists. Simone also e-mailed many comic book creators directly for their responses to the list.
The list is considered “infamous” in certain comic book fan circles.[4] Respondents often found different meanings to the list itself, though Simone maintained that her, "... simple point (had) always been: if you demolish most of the characters girls like, then girls won't read comics. That's it!"
Where was I in the 90's when this was happening? Oh yes, I was a closet feminist with Dial-up.
Some great points in this article. While some of these assumptions may seem unfair, I defiantly agree that if you kill off all of the good relateable female characters, females wont wanna read these. Times have changed, especially with the success of female centric comics, like Buffy etc, but this for sure still happens.

This just reeks of mass coverup!
"The birds died from blunt force trauma. After their deaths, they were gathered up and sent to the National Wildlife Health Center in Madison, Wisconsin. Employees there found bruises on their bodies and not much else. The lab was not impressed with the timing of the event, since its researchers analyze as many as 500 mass die-offs per year. The fact that the birds showed bruises, that they were the only species that was part of the die-off, and the timing determined the death.
Scott Wright, the chief of disease investigations explains, that firecrackers would have set the birds out at night, flying blind."
"It's believed that the noise startled them-they are poor night fliers-and they were in close proximity to neighborhoods, and they flew into homes and cars. They died of impact force to their bodies."

I'm totally call their bullshit on this one
You just watch, this is totally the apocalypse, with this and all the dead fish, all we need next is a river of blood and a plague of locust. It'll be all out chaos by the end of July.
All I can think of is WWMD (What would Mulder do) and all I can come up with is... ask Scully

New Being Human Trailer
Wicked trailers like this just make me resent remakes even more. Why are they remaking this show in the Us when the original is still on the air. Apparently people I know who have auditioned for the show seem to indicate that everything will be pretty similar. *Sigh* My new life goal is to create some original content.
Mind you I still haven't finished series 2... I should get on that
Also can we talk about Cat Stevens being the sound track for this!?!? Random

Um, yes please!
This is interesting! While I can't attest to the credibility of this information, this news is very exciting. I'm sure they aren't gonna do Tudyk AND Fillion, just Tudyk would be amazing! He was amazing in both Firefly as well as in Dollhouse, two roles which are extremely different, but equally as complex and satisfying so I feel that he could definitely embody the role of super hero very well. And with an established director like Wright helming this I feel like this is in good hands. All that's left to do is brush up on my Ant Man universe. Looking froward to the upcoming developments of this projects.
Double bonus for him having a cameo in Avengers!

20 TV Sci-Fi Gamechangers
20 TV Sci-Fi Gamechangers
great list over @ SFX about big ga.e changers in show, personal favorite like BTVS, Fringe, X-Files and Start Trek Next Gen are in there. Good mix of game changers for better and for worse.
I keep seeing references to Blakes 7... I really need to get on that!

Christmas came early kids!
In the form of this High Def salty goodness
Can't embed

Thats right boys and girls, IT'S THOR!
Along with Captain American this is, the supe movie I am most looking forward too. Hot good guys, evil lookin' villians and Natalie Portman (who really can do no wrong) should be a good one.

Two weeks is a long time
This is why Fringe is the only show I am actually watching right now. While other shows have become repetitive or simply lost my interest, Fringe continues to be the best show on television. Twice the character development as other shows, all the action, infinite continuity and half the calories! Also it somehow manages to be both funny, touching, and sexy. The bad guys are complex, watchable and exciting, I mean, how much do you love to hate Walternate? And no matter how bad Fauxlivia is, you really wanna like her... at least I do. It's also nice to now have villains we know. And not only do we know them, they are the alt version of the main characters. I can only imagine how interesting it must be for these actors to be playing two sides of these character. The alt teams also allows to have Charlie back (who I missed), and see Olivia in a new team dynamic.
All in all Fringe is the best show on television you are probably not watching. It's the best of Alias and The X-Files all rolled into one.
Anyone else watch Fringe!?! Hit up the comments!
