Let's change the subject Volume 1 Issue 3

About Primeval…

I have shared my thoughts on some of the shows I watch regularly, and I’ll try to continuing to do that on other shows that are finishing and starting. But for now I think I should share and let the world know (or my 2/3 followers) about Primeval.

Primeval is a UK sci-fi show, about a team of scientists and experts in different areas that are faced with raptures on time and space – anomalies – that allow them to travel to another times, but mainly bring to our time creatures from different eras.

On it's 5th season, this show is a success among the viewers because of his great dynamic and intensity which allowed it to survive changes on the show (with the death and appearance of new characters) and the one year gap, on which the show was rated as canceled, and then pick-up again.

  As most of UK tv-shows, Primeval has only 7 episodes per season, giving the show more depth and make it run very fast, which translates on more adrenaline for the viewers. As for the characters we can definitely see their growth along the seasons, especially on Connor (Andrew Lee Potts, Passionate Woman, Alice), Hannah Spearrit (S club 7) and Ben Mansfield.

Personally I’m a fan of UK series, Primeval, Merlin, Sherlock, among others are a must see if you like good television. And I have to admit that Primeval is definitely one of my favorites’ tv-shows, even when compared with US shows.

There are lots of factors that make a show great, but I think in the end it is all about your emphaty with the characters and the characters relation between them.

As for the story itself, Primeval showed a great development throughout seasons, if you are a sci-fi fan, you should really watch it. Because presents some good questions and doubts about the possibility to know and see how it was on the pass, and how would you deal with that amount of knowledge you could access with that.

Primeval created by Tim Haines and Adrian Hodges stars Andrew Lee Potts, Hannah Spearritt, Ben Miller and Ben Mansfield, among others.

 Season 5 is airing on Watch, and I’ll be making some episodes reviews throughout this season.

Let's change the subject volume 1 issue 2 part 1

About new shows, old shows, cancelations, season finales and much more

This will probably be a long post, as you can see by the title it's a lot of stuff.

I'll have to start by saying that Chuck will have a Season 5 (YEY)! I'm very glad, especially after the season finale

*and from this moment the spoiler alert is on ;)

So after a lot of drama and Chuck really beeing a badass (you don't mess with his family!) we realize that Chuck is indeed a spy with or without the intersect, and that is much more self confident then in the first seasons. A lot of growing and evolutin to Chuck, but also to Sarah that give the most beautifull vows and it's not afraid to show her feelings. (you go girl). We also get the happy ending and learn that an unployed team Bartwoski is now going private, as they I'll start defeating bad guys as private spys. How cool is that?
Great right? And if it wasn't enough this little fun twist in the end, Morgan learns Kung-Fu, aka he downloads the intersect to his brain. Really Morgan a kickass spy? That will be so awsome :)
And of course he probably will keep a secret from Alex (and we start this all thing all over again...)


But talking about surprising endings, what was that in HIMYM?


Ok, I'll be honest I was pretty sure that the wedding from first episode will be of barney or robin, tho I was actually betting on barney&robin's wedding. Anyone with me?
Anyhow learning that in fact Barney was going to get married was a surprise, to be honest the surprise was that they give that away already. But of course they had to twist a lit bit too. Is it Nora or Robin the girl with whom he will get married?


Leave your bets =)
Anyway Season 7 will probably be the last of himym. Yeah it's a great show, but the can't delay more the "meeting mother" thing, and also with Lily and Marshall getting a kid, next season will be probably focus on their struggles as future parents and Nora/Barney/Robin thing that will eventually end on the altar. So the only question is what is in store for Ted next season?
Whatever it is, I'm pretty sure that the fans will be giving much more attention to the other characters.


*spoiler alert off

If you have any show you would like me to talk about just say it (I can try if I know it)

About new series and cancelations...

Do you know CHAOS?

Chaos is about a rogue CIA spies in the division of Clandestine Homeland Administration and Oversight Services that investigated threats to national security,while try to keep their jobs from being eliminated due to budget cuts. New agent Rick Martinez joins the team as an in-housemolefor CIA Director H.J. Higgins. However, Martinez is quickly found out by the team, who "turn" him for their own use

So what do you think?
I can say it's funny and interesting. Not an addictive show but a quite nice to see. So if you have a chance to watch the 3 episodes aired I'd recomend you would, and if after that you want to see more...
well you'll have to wait indefinitely cause the show has call off, not cancel just put on a hiatus.
It is a shame, because there was pottencial in that show. Freddy Rodriguez, James Murray, Eric Close and Tim Blake Nelson look like an actually disfunctional but very funny team.
CHAOS ratting - Must see

Also there was another show that premier this year and caught my attention, called Camelot.
What do you think?
I actually can't say much about it, because I only saw the 1st episode, but it just didn't get my attention. Anyhow the casting for Merlin and Morgana seem pretty great. Joseph Fiennes is a scary/vicious/manipulative Merlin and Eva Green a badass/vindictive/manipulative Morgana.
The other cast look good too, but as I said I didn't watch more than the first episode.
I can't tell for sure the reason I didn't get into that show, but maybe because the only reason I saw it on the first place was because I'm a fan of Eva Green.
But if you think I should watch more of it feel free to try and convince me.

...

Just realize how much I wrote, and how much I still have to say. especially because talking of camelot, remind me of Merlin the series from BBC, do you know it?

I'll definitely make  a post about shows from the UK. if you are not familiar with english shows you will want to get to know them. I can assure you that they know a thing or two about good shows too.

So that's all for now, on my opinions on the tv-show world. Feel free to say about your favourite shows.

Me vs driving lessons

So yes i decided to take lessons and finally have a drivers license, and yes at first I thought that driving was not for me, but who would know, I actually am not that bad.

The worst thing of driving in the city is exactly that. Let's be honest everyone who owens a car is positive that he/she is the best behind the sterring wheel.

Let me break it for you (...) you are not! Seriously you aren't.

I know that friends and family may say that you are the great driver on the earth, but face it they only say that when they are on the car with you, so they really need the ride.

But it's ok, don't be depress, I mean it's not that you are the worst driver on earth (... I hope...), there is just a few things that you might need to take care.


Ok so let's start:

1st) So you know those colour vertical signs (yeah, the ones with lights), so if it is red - you can't pass.

if it is yellow you can pass, but you can't forget that for those who are learning it's almost an obligation and a motive for failing on the exam if we don't stop at yellow. so try not to use the horn.

You know the horn?

that thing you should only use in case of imminent danger?

Awsome, let's continue.

2nd) On rotunda's you must signal at least when you going to exit (yeah you should signal also when you enter, but i really don't want you confuse, so let's just stick with the first), it's not that we (the other drivers) get upset if you don't signal the exit, but we will be waiting on the entry of the rotunda when you are exiting before, and that just makes us look like dumbs and waste time, so it's a no no situation.

So let's just try one more and then i leave to think about it ok?

Are you familiar with the instruction cars?

In case you aren't we are those who usually have writen on the car (guess what...) "instruction car." Well done!
I think you are getting now. So we are learning, remember when you did that?

(What you didn't do that... damm that explains a lot!)

Anyway the thing is you don't want to do abrupt things on the side of the road that we are, like changing direction all of suddenly, without proper signal, or be really really close to us, or even park the car out of no where, because you see ,we are learning (but still we can avoid the potencial accident), and we are not the best drivers... but then you aren't either right?
;)

Let's change the subject - volume 1 issue 1

Saving CHUCK

Some of you probably heard about Chuck, the NBC show, for those of you who eventually don’t know what I’m talking about, this show tells the story of a computer geek guy called... Chuck (who would guess…) that inadevertly downloads critical government secrets into his brain, turning his life upside down.

This comedy-action show won the hearts of many loyal viewers by beeing able of mix great comedy with some drama, twists and turns and a lot of surprising revelations. Chuck’s evolution as a character, from just-a-guy to spy, kept it real for the fans, because even as a spy the creators didn’t try to change the nature of the character, and this is the real interesting part of the story, Chuck is still the guy who won’t use the guns, who cares, who believe in the goodness of people.

Once it aired, in 2007, Chuck received a lot of positive reviews by critics, but in 2009 the show was “on the buble” (between cancelation and renovation) due to his low ratings.

Fans all over the world start then a huge campaign to “Save Chuck” that was supported by a lot of known faces, including the actors from the show.  Every year now, fans have to campaign for a new season, and this year is no difference. Save Chuck Season 5 is already on going, and fans all over the world try to save (again) this show.

I am not really aware of how the ratings for the shows are measure (can I even say measure?), but I believe that a show that can assemble so many fans is worth keeping, I don’t think any other show, that I recall, was able to get this much attention and commitment from both fans, actors and creators.

If a show can bring together so many people that continuosly support it, they are doing something right. Right?

 (adapted from shutupison.com)

So for those who don't know the show I highly reccomend it. It's a fun show, great to see with the family or friends, or even by yourself. Starring Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, Adam Baldwin and Joshua Gomez, among a great cast.

I am a Fan, IGiveAChuck, I want Save Chuck, how about you?

and if you still aren't convince about watching Chuck I can give you more reasons :)
