Ah, Transformers Prime season 2 is over. Gotta wait till spring for season 3. Now must focus on the new TMNT.
Speaking of which, western animated series these days are all reboots of old franchises. Kinda too bad they can't think of anything original, and anything original I find is usually no good. There's even going to be a new animated CG Batman series called "Beware the Batman", said to go for Nolan's dark tone.........

S3 of Boardwalk Empire wasn't all that great. The show was renewed for another season but I'm unlikely to continue watching. AMC's Walking Dead has gone into hiatus until February. Lost Girl - S3 PromoS3 of Lost Girl premieres January 6.

Lost Girl is back! S3 started this past Sunday. Hale is the new Ash. That means Dyson has a new partner. That should keep him busy and let Lauren have Bo to herself. Lost Girl - S3 TrailerBo & Lauren = OTP!

So, what are these? Vampires? Werewolves? Yawn. I'm glad you asked. Gives me an excuse to talk more about one of my favorite shows. Lost Girl is a popular Canadian show given in the US on Syfy. It also airs in the UK, Australia and several other countries. Lost Girl deals with supernatural beings known as Fae. All Fae belong to either the Light or the Dark. The main character, Bo, is a succubus. Bo is the only Fae that isn't Light or Dark. She's unaligned. Bo grew up not knowing she is a succubus or anything about the Fae. A lot of the show deals with her learning about herself and the Fae community. Her main love interests are Dyson and Lauren. Dyson is a police detective and wolf, belonging to the Light. Lauren is a human doctor for the Light. Bo's sidekick and BFF, Kenzi, is also human. Hale is the new Ash, head of the Light Fae. He used to be Dyson's partner but had to give up police work as the new Ash. Dyson's now partnered with Tamsin. The official site has more on each of the main characters if you're interested. Lost Girl CharactersWhen the show first started, it was predominantly about Bo and Dyson. Since S2, it's focused more on Bo's relationship with Lauren. A lot of that has to do with the fanbase. The majority of the fanbase prefers Bo with Lauren. If you do a google search for Lost Girl, most of what you find is related to Bo and Lauren. Gotta keep the viewers happy.

It's not looking good for Happy Endings or Don't Trust the B in Apt 23. The ratings for both comedies are low. ABC already yanked Don't Trust the B off the air. It'll replace its time slot with an extra episode of Happy Endings. That means S3 of HE will end in March. That will free up the 8pm (US CT) Tuesday time slot for Dancing with the Stars. The CW is planning a Vampire Diaries spinoff, The Originals. It would be about the first family of vampires. The spinoff means that a current CW show is in danger of being cancelled. That would most likely be Beauty and The Beast. It airs after The Vampire Diaries on Thursday nights. The ratings haven't been very good though. It would make sense to replace it with The Originals. While it was on hiatus, I forgot why I'm a big fan of the CW series Nikita. Now that it's back, I quickly remembered why.

ABC will be moving Happy Endings to Friday when the show returns from hiatus in March. They'll likely finish off the season before cancelling the show. The Walking Dead returned from a long break and got its highest ratings ever. The show was already renewed for another season. Congrats to Anna Silk, Zoie Palmer and Lost Girl. Bo and Lauren were voted TV's Top Couple for 2013 in a E! Online fan tournament. They were also picked by CNN as one of their favorite TV couples.

Knov1, did you ever read Charles de Lint's novels? I guess they're classified as fantasy. He's Canadian and writes about the Fey and/or shamans, shape shifters and other odd beings. Also about Canada's First Nation's people and myths. My favorites so far: (He's written lots more that I just discovered; he has a website. Whew! My favorites are from back in the '80s when I didn't even have a computer. LOL.) www.sfsite.com/charlesdelint/greenmantle-desc01.htmwww.sfsite.com/charlesdelint/moonheart-desc01.htm

I don't read a lot of books. I usually just watch the movie versions. I'm currently watching Breaking Bad. Good show. If you had mentioned The Wire in the same sentence, I'd be convinced you're Peter Griffin. Family Guy - Breaking Bad & The Wire

I watched the pilot for the new History series Vikings. Seems like an OK series. Will give it another episode before I decide whether to continue watching or not. Vikings Official SiteIf you missed the pilot, History will repeat it several times this week. Check the official site for the scheduled listings. Even if you don't have History or cable, you can watch the pilot on the official site for FREE.

More Viking stories? First, Vinland Saga, a manga about vikings, tajking place during King Cnut the Great's historical rise to power and reign, the main character a Viking who hopes to kill his commander through a duel to avenge his father.
Then, Image Comics' Vikings, which I never read
And finally, Northlanders, an anthology series in the Viking age

I watched Vikings as it was written by Michael Hirst of Tudors ,Camelot and Borgias fame ,this was the weakest of the four ,nothing much seemed to happen ,one guy wants to take a boat and sail to the "New World " despite his chiefs objections . The costuming was authentic and photography stunning but it is slow moving .The musical score by Trevor Morris (Tudors ,Borgias and Pillars of The Earth ) was dull .Still i will give it a few more episodes .
Spartacus War Of The Damned Just as well this is the final season because it is running out of steam and seems like they have run out of ideas .
Walking Dead Well they are still dead and walk ,like Spartacus no progression from last season ,best thing has been the ghost of Ricks Wife .
Ripper Street started out good but has become meandering .
Coming soon Da Vinci's Demons A BBC /Starz co production looks more sci fi than Historical .
Game Of Thrones season 3 . Hope it is better than 2 which was good but could have been better .
Borgia's season 3 This may be the last season as Hirst is off creating Mary Queen Of Scot's for 2014 ,if that is the case they have a lot of ground to cover in 10 episodes ,do not know how they can do it ,still the second season was superb can they keep it together for a 3rd .
True Blood season 6 or 7 So over this .
The White Queen Another BBC /Starz co production and what luck with poor King Richard found in a parking lot this should be a huge hit .For once someone is tossing Shakespeare out of the window and depicting a more accurate sympathetic version of the Last of the Plantagenet's . This is actually the first of a few pro Parking Lot King dramas ,If nothing else it should stoke the fires of Pro and Anti Ricardian debates .
How is Ghost Hunters still on ? ,how many more seasons of overweight guys tripping over wires in the dark can we endure ?.
