No one said it was easy to keep a blog. More precisely, it is impossible for me te write on it with any regularity. Google seems to take care of the blog itself. Isn't that nice of them.
Once upon a time I had decided to keep a record of my watched shows and films. While it is impossible for me to name all of them since my last update here's what comes to mind right now:
- Midsomer Murders: Here's some evening-filling entertainment for you. As of the current season, all the old cast have been replaced by newbies. Besides Kate and John, there's a new DS on the block. Ben has finally left the series, but been replaced by the slightly nervous and ambitious DS Nelson. John and Sarah are pregnant. Sykes still survives. Not much has changed besides the actors. Just maybe the fact that they are all better looking.
- Sherlock: Still bloody awesome. Series 3 ended yesterday in a grand finale with the return of Jim Moriarty. As of today, all Sherlock fans seem to be in mourning for the seasonal ending and will remain greaving until the return (next year?). On a positive note: René proclaimed the promise of both a fourth ánd a fifth series!
- New Girl: My girly indulgence of the moment. It's a bit funky, but I like Zooey Deschanel, there's a convincing argument for watching this. It's a slice of life series with a side order of surrealism. Enjoyment all around.
- The Big Bang Theory: Still going strong, the series just keeps improving. Seeing as how I adore the Shamy, it should come as no surprise that I follow this series on the foot(is that a Dutchism?). The Shamy are steadily progressing, although there was some stagnation. I'm fairly certain that will not last, because last week, Amy had an admirer. Surely she will see her own desirability as a girlfriend and in return make Sheldon see it too. Besides, if not her, who the hell is he ever going to find?
-The Walking Dead: Even though this series makes my skin crawl ever now and again, it remains fascinating. How the hell are they ever going to knit an end to it? Is there really going to be a cure at some point or is everyone just going to have to die? I don't really care anymore at this point, but I do want to know.
- Endeavour: Although it finished a while ago, the first series of this show was awesome! Young Endeavour Morse is followed through his trials and tribulations in the life of a upcoming DI talent. Not only is the lead actor pretty damn good to look at he, he's also a good actor and makes for a convincing Morse.
- Doctor Who: Yes. It's still going. And still amazing. And there's a new Doctor! Peter Capaldi will be joining us as the 12th/13th/14th Doctor. Not entirely sure how we're counting anymore. Just know it will be great, as usual.
- Marvel Agents of SHIELD: Not entirely mindblowing, but still fun to watch. We follow the aftermath of the Avengers (2012) in this series. Major plot point: the non-death of Agent Coulson. This is actually quite the mystery and rambunctious speculation has been going on all over the internet and in my head. For the moment, I am going with the 'he's-Vision-in-an-early-stage'-theory. Seems as plausible as any other.
- Dokter Tinus/Doc Martin: Both the English and the Dutch versions of this story turned out to be quite entertaining. Although the Dutch are several series behind, they are quickly catching up by squeezing extra episodes into every series they make. Hope it does end on a happy note, otherwise I will be severely pissed at the writer and see myself forced to reenter the Fanfiction arena on this fandom.
- The IT Crowd: Finally seen it! Very fun comedy series, but please don't watch the American version of it: those comedy vampires sucked the life out of it! This geeky past time has proven both entertaining and illustrating with consideration to the working of the nerd mind. Very helpful.
- How I Met Your Mother: We have finally reached the final series of this show. Even though the entire last series is dedicated to the wedding of Robin and Barney, it still has a rather abrupt feeling to it. Like the show was unexpectedly cancelled because all the actors want to quit. That feeling. Exactly. Let's Google that for a moment. [...] So no, the actual plan was to have series 8 be the end. Eh, why the awkward nine then? Too bad Segel didn't pull the plug. We could have been done already.
- Downton Abbey: Hello upside down world. We have come to the point where I've started to like Mary, kind of hate Edith and apparently Carson and Elsie were not in a secret romantic relationship over the last 30 years. Disappointments all around again. At least no one died (so far).
- Haven: Yep, it's still going. I can barely believe it either. We have now arrived at the point where all the weird stuff happens and you're like: meh. Time to wrap the crazy plot up and start on something fresh?
Well, that's a warp on most of the shows I watch nowadays. It's quite a lot actually, hmm. Should I be spending my time better? Nah, can't.
