My 2014 Media Round-Up

tj_teejay Jan 25, 2015 14:10

Another year has come and gone, so let's take a quick look at what I particularly enjoyed (or didn't) on TV.

TV-wise, I didn't think 2014 was a big year. I already posted about the new summer shows earlier in the year, so I won't repeat what I wrote there. The Strain and The Last Ship didn't make the cut and I discarded them off my to-watch list ( Read more... )

Is it just me...

… or is the Sherlock s3 Blu-ray gag reel the most boring blooper reel ever? Just seems like they don’t really have much fun on set, which is a bit of a let-down.

The one (!) deleted scene was a nice touch, but nothing to get excited about. I’m hoping that the episode commentary at least offers some nice insight, otherwise I’m gonna be more than ( Read more... )

The Adventures of the Almighty Archangels

I was trying to demonstrate to someone how to cut out objects in Corel PhotoPaint, and then this just… kinda happened. :-D

(Will probably be a tad funnier if you've seen SyFy's Dominion...)

Anyone feel like joining a Sherlock LandComm?

New Summer Shows Tryout: Part 2

tj_teejay Aug 02, 2014 19:00

Like I said in my previous post, next on my list for summer shows to look into was Dominion, Extant and The Wil Wheaton Project.

I can now happily report that I've sampled all of their pilots, and actually like them all. I'm not super crazy about Extant or TWWP, but I think I like them enough to keep watching. As for Dominion, that one positively ( Read more... )

New summer shows tryout: Part 1

tj_teejay Jul 31, 2014 20:08

I downloaded a number of pilots this week to look into a few of the new summer shows that sounded halfway interesting. I tried The Strain last night. While I did make it through the whole pilot, the reaction was rather along the lines of... meh. Quite sure I'm not gonna watch more of that.

Same with The Last Ship, whose pilot I gave a shot last ( Read more... )

Today is Don't Be A Dick Day

tj_teejay Jul 29, 2014 22:45

Because I'm currently listening to Ready Player One by Ernie Cline, read by Wil Wheaton, which is all kinds of geeky and awesome, I shall help promote Don't Be A Dick Day. I did comply. I hope.

( Carry on. )

Why, SyFy, why oh why?

tj_teejay Jul 28, 2014 00:04

Sometimes there are TV shows I watch where I ask myself afterwards why I kept watching them, because all rational thought defies the notion. One of them is SyFy's Helix -- a scientific fail-fest on so many levels.

Introducing Mycroft

tj_teejay Jun 25, 2014 23:03

Let me introduce to you the latest member of my electronic gadget family. I named him Mycroft, for obvious fandom reasons. Though it's kinda wrong to then give him a skin from another fandom (extra points to those who recognize the connection).

( Laptop skins ftw )

'Letters Live': Benedict Cumberbatch

I mentioned that I was seeing The Bee Cee live, right? If not, check my previous entry. And then it happened, and it was glorious!
