Year end TV Review

Homeland fell flat for the season finale.  Very little resolution and seems like it should have been one more episode.  Most disappointed I have been with that show.  Still great.

NCIS, why do I even watch that show.  Highest rated show on tv and it isn't that great.

The 100, on the WB, I know, I know, but a friend told me about it and it is good with a decent sci fi premise.  Should be on SYFY but they only show ghost reality shows now.  Worth a watch if you like sci fi.

The Blacklist was is the best show on network tv by far.  Good characters plus the great James Spader.

A close second was Hannibal.  Gory to a fault but it really needs to be to tell that story.

Elementary is worth a watch, neat take on modernizing Sherlock Holmes.

Sherlock is great on the BBC.  Starring the weird Benedict Cumberbatch, who oddly enough is a great actor.  Watson is played by young Bilbo Baggins fame Martin Freeman.  Both have gained a lot of notoriety since Sherlock started and both want to continue to do this show, great for me.

Watched Luther on BBC a long time ago, good British cop show.

I stayed with Sons of Anarchy, why I do not know, but I did and it is over.  Good.

Speaking of FX tv, The Strain was great.  A new look at the whole vampire story.  I will watch next season.

The Americans, looking forward to it.  80's Russian spy show, watch it.

Justified, looking forward to it.  Also the last season but it will be missed.

Started watching Vikings, I am hooked.  I wonder how historically accurate that is.

Speaking of the SYFY channel, they seem to want to fail.  The greatest show they ever did was Battlestar Galactica.  Which I loved, call me a nerd but watch it and then call me a nerd.  It seems after they had legitimate success with BSG they decided to go a different direction with all the reality shows about ghost and costume design.  Shortly after BSG they did Stargate Universe which was a loose spin off to the 10 year tv series SG1 whch was a spin off of the move Stargate staring Kurt Russel.  SGU was great but they put it in a terrible time slot and it failed.  Partly because of the severe nerds that wanted to stay true to the SGU series starring MacGyver.  Oh well I think they have learned their lesson that they need at least one space opera to satisfy the masses.

Speaking of, they just did a mini series called Ascension, which oddly enough is how BSG started.  The show was good, but they did not seem to give it 100%, just fell flat in certain places.  Watch it and let me know.  Could lead to a series with some potential.  Ascension also starred the hopelessly unattractive Tricia Helfer, which should not hurt its chances.

Also SYFY is trying to make a series of the movie Twelve Monkeys, it will be called 12 Monkeys, see what they did there?

Longmire may be cancelled but it was a good modern day western.

True Detective was great, really graphic, but good.

Rectify is slow and uneventful but I could not stop watching.

And of course The Walking Dead, greatness.

Well Eugene was full of crap.  I kept waiting for one of the group to say "yeah we knew"  but they all seemed surprised when he let it out that he was not a scientist.  Come on, of course he isn't, that mullet was too cool to be used on a scientist.

I hope they elaborate on Ford's past.

Not a big fan of having dedicated episodes to each faction, I guess that is why I think the last two episodes were a little slow.

I am looking to make extra money, so a friend told me about Thumbtack neat site that lets you post needed services online and the contractors will bid/submit quotes for the work.  So I thought that it would be good for me to get on there and submit some quotes.  So the first day I signed up, posted some pics of previous jobs that I have completed, set my desired projects that I would like to submit prices for, and waited.  They started really flying in, I found one I liked and submitted a price.  I got my price in about 3 minutes after it was posted and I was the 10th submission.  There is some real competition on this site.  Looks like Thumbtack is better for the home owner than contractors.

News on the San Antonio fight for football!  HERE

Baby Girl was an 80's dancer chick, legwarmers, headband and really cute.  Had no idea what was going on.  Kids that are in their teens should not trick or treat.

Montel Williams seems like a good guy.  

This weeks episode of the Walking Dead was all about Beth.  Kinda boring till the end when Carol shows up!  Really like her caracter.  Called it!
They did not answer who was with Daryl when he showed back up to the group, but I am guessing it was Noah.  They guy that got away when he and Beth were trying to escape the hospital.

I am hoping that Daryl and Carol ran into Noah giving them the idea to get someone on the inside to help get Beth out.  He would provide great insight to the politics of that place.

Beth looked to be getting ready to go out with a bang.

Cowboys lost two in a row.  Romo being out, the loss is still his fault, according to some Romo haters.

They play in London this week.  

I don't get why the NFL pushes franchises on Los Angeles and even London.  Los Angeles doesn't want one and the viability and cost to have one in London doesn't look to make sense.  Would be neat to have one in London though.  Be neater to have one in San Antonio.

Cowboys Cowboys Cowboys

Cowboys lost to the Redskins in OT last night.  We should have won but turnovers and questionable coaching calls prevented that.

We have to remember that that was Washington's Superbowl and it was just another game for us.  Also for a good "rivalry" you have to loose occasionally.

Dez is a beast, Murray is a beast, the offensive line got tested last night.  Young but still good.  Romo is a trooper, and I feel a little better about him going out with the back knowing that Weeden can play.  What little we saw of him last night.

Baby girl is funny and smart.  Says hi and waves to every living thing.  That will make your day.

 Been job hunting, not as hot a market as I thought.

Kids, Sugar, and Cokes here and here, found this interesting.

Baby girl may be 30 before she has a coke.

I see Christian persecution everyday, if there is muslim persecution in the US you will see an uproar of defense.  Christians are the subject of punchline jokes every day in the media, and it is accepted, but the beheading muslims get a world of sympathy.
I hear secularist laying blame to Christan's for many historical acts, even the Oklahoma bombing, he was a former Catholic turned devout agnostic!  Closest thing he had to religion was stating that science is my religion.  So liberals are justified in persecuting a religion because of it past misdoings?  Where is the tolerance for that?

More Walking Dead and stuff

Well Bob was bit, and in that one episode Bob became one of my favorite characters.  So sad, but I loved how he threw it in their face that he was infected.  Like it sux I am going to die, but since I am HA, you eating tainted meat.  What a way to face the zombie death and cannibalism.

Tyreese is like a ticking time bomb, and I am afraid that it might explode on the group.  Or miraculously help the team out.  Who knows, but it is coming.  I do feel better when he is watching Little Ass Kicker (Judith)  I think she has helped him realize that sometimes you got to do bad things to prevent bad things.  I was a little disappointed to see that he let Martin live after he threatened Judith's life.

Glenn and Maggie may be a little tired of Rick and some of the violence.  Just from their looks last night when the head bashing began.  Which is stupid, they need someone like that on the team, how many times has the tough decision been made and implemented by Rick?  Oh well we will see them shortly.  I think.

Is it just me, but Eugene and Ford a full of crap, right?

Who is with Daryl?  Why they hanging back, if it was Carol why wouldn't she be by his side?  Pick up a straggler?  Carol stay back with Beth?  I am assuming that next episode will be all about Beth and where she has been and possibly what Daryl and Carol have been doing, again I am assuming that Daryl and Carol, found Beth, or at least where she is being held.

IMDB has the title of the episode which leads us to believe that it is a Beth focused Episode, the description is vague as usual.

I have always liked the Morgan Jones character, probably because I like the actor.  After season 1 I kept saying I miss that guy, then they bring him back all crazy and what not.  And I was glad to see that he is back, hope he joins the cast, and is Sane.

I liked last season because it seemed that they had a couple of chances to relax.  I like to relax.

I intentionally have avoided the Graphic Novel, I don't want any spoilers.  That isn't to say that I will not make predictions.

When this show ends I will probably go back and read the Graphic Novel.

That is a weird name Graphic Novel, it does make sense the one's I have looked at.  Some are a bit too graphic and seem to exist to be more graphic than novel.

Cowboys play on Monday night.  I hate weekday football.  Throws off my whole week.  It's Jerry's fault.

Baby girl is crawling everywhere, and now pulling up.  Talking more and really strong.  Very health and I am extremely grateful for that.

Killed a snake in the garage last week.  Tiny little thing was probably harmless, but it had to die.  Hit it 127 times with a broom handle.  Probably died on whack #2.

We have a bobcat that roams around our back yard from time to time.  That thing is big.  I like bobcats, they eat rats mice and snakes.  Some small dogs might want to avoid.

People are getting dumber, more lazy, more dependent, and more annoying every day.

For the dumb;  listen more and yap less.  Do it until you get it right.

For the lazy. click here

For the dependent also click above.

For the annoying, STOP IT!  Click above for safe measure.



For those of you that say Fox News is Conservative... maybe so, but in that same note you need to admit that all the other 24 hour news stations are liberal.  Conservatives have known this for years.  That is why Fox News has been so popular.  For a group of people that scream tolerance they sure arent tolerant of a Conservative news program.

My baby girl is Awesome!

Been lifting weights fairly good for the past two weeks.  I'm Sore.

I want to be more creative.  This blog sux and doesn't make me feel creative.


Funny of the day, and true.
