Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome
Set during the first Cylon War and featuring a young Adama, this series is supposed to be more action oriented and hopefully wont have stupid angel metaphors and mysticism, but we’ll see.
Game Of Thrones Season 2
Season one was a very faithful adaptation of the books. Can’t wait for season two which starts April 1.
Goodbye, Judge
Fox business channel unfortunately cancelled Judge Andrew Napolitano’s Freedom Watch show. And this is his last rant. Too bad, it was a great show and one of the only libertarian shows on TV. The judge understands our rights and why the government doesnt care about them and is abusing them and has been very vocal about it. I hope he lands somewhere else with another show.
Game of Thrones
Season two should be better than season one, because the books get better, and I love how they’ve been adapting the series. Because a lot of people into Martin seem to like Joe Ambercrombie books I started reading the Blade Itself and am loving it. It’s in a similar vein to the Song of Ice and Fire Books. “Realistic” Fantasy, where the main characters are very flawed, complicated people. What I really love about the book so far is how on target his stuff is about how dysfunctional societies are and it’s somewhat libertarian in its view of the state. Very good stuff. I will be reading all his books I think. It’s right up my alley.
Alcatraz
This looks interesting. Will be checking it out.
Justified Season 3
It’s back this month on FX. Great show. I you havent it before watched now’s your time to start. Its a very good crime drama from writer Elmore Leonard and has the feel of his stories.
Breaking Bad Season 4
It starts Sunday, July 17th! This is my favorite series running today.
Game of Thrones
Saw it and loved it. They did an amazing job translating such a vast fantasy story to the small screen. It looked epic.
The changes they made were minimal and mainly to cover for the fact that they could not do characters internal monologues which are a huge part of the books. There was more nudity and sex than I remember in the books, but they were setting up the world and showing that this is not Lord of the Rings. Some people call it The Sopranos with Swords. I see it more like James Ellroy Meets King Arthur. Anyway, it was an excellent start. I’ll be interested to see how it’s received.
American Idol Top 8
To me, the performance I loved best tonight was by Casey Abrams, for several reasons. It went against the grain, he gave it his unique spin and he was true to himself.
Scott was also good, Stefano, Lauren were also decent. But I think Paul and Jacob are getting repetitive. Even though I love Blondie and think Haley was OK, it wasn’t great. James was fun. Another one who went with what he wanted to do. But it was kind of the same as his other performances. Casey is the one artist who changes up the most and tries to be different while staying true to himself. Scotty is great at what he does, and I suspect he will be in the top 2.
My guess is Jacob, Paul and Haley in the bottom 3 tomorrow. Paul or Jacob may go,. Even though the judges praised Jacob to high heaven, he is laying it on too thick. I notice on some of the boards people are getting tired of him too. He’s a great singer but he over sings every song.
UPDATE: I was wrong about Jacob. But I picked this week’s loser. He was just not showing enough range and variety, but I am sure he will go on to some kind of success. I was glad to see Casey make it to another week. My feeling is the final three will be Scott, Casey and either Jacob or James. Lauren is also a possible for the final 3. Scott is probably the one to beat.
Game of Thrones: Poison
This trailer really gives a nice sense of the story not seen in other trailers. Plus a shot of King’s Landing at the start and Cersei acting like Cersei. Can’t wait for Sunday.
Game of Thrones: Behind the Scenes
A really nice extended look at the behind the scenes of the new HBO series on a week from Sunday. The books are fantastic. Can’t recommend them enough.
