++ Warehouse 13 has been renewed for a fifth season. It will be their final season and only scheduled for six episodes. I'm a mixture of feelings about this because I'm sad that it's going to be the last season because it's been my favorite show on that network and has grown and progressed so much since it premiered. However, at least they're getting six episodes to finish off the series the way that they want to. Hopefully they won't pull a Eureka where Syfy pulls those last six episodes. So, crossing all the fingers that that doesn't happen.

++ Game of Thrones may last for only seven seasons, producers anticipate. It's understandable, considering that they are splitting book three into two seasons, they are going to try to draw out as much as they can, especially since we're still waiting for the sixth installment, The Winds of Winter, to come out. And lord knows how long it will take for the seventh and final installment of the series to be finished. So I think it's sensible to try and predict when the show might make its own endgame.

++ As of right now, there's been no news regarding the fate of Hannibal. Though regardless whether NBC renews it or not, it seems that there are alternative options since other places are interested in picking it up. So that's a good sign, at least.

++ Peter Jackson, cast and crew return to filming pick-ups for The Hobbit: There And Back Again, and particularly for the Battle of the Five Armies. Just reading his little note about it being the last time they'll be revisiting Middle-earth ever via filming makes me sad. Also, this makes me anticipate the vlogs that will be coming soon! Which reminds me, I NEEDS A TRAILER FOR DESOLATION OF SMAUG PLEASE.

++ Pretty Little Liars S4 promo. The show returns June 11th.

++ Official trailer for Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D

++ Killer Women trailer. I'm hoping that it's good because, well, the trailer isn't exactly its best selling point, imo. For me it's all about Tricia Helfer and Michael Trucco, just having them back together on my screen makes me happy. Also Tricia/gun-handling gives me life.

I'm only a young girl and new to the ways of war, but perhaps a seasoned captain like yourself can explain to me how you propose to defeat us.Collapse )

Basically, this episode for me was all about Daenerys (and her continually growing fanclub who are fiercely protective of her) and the Most Uncomfortable and Awkward Wedding Ever. Next episode will be the RW. LORD HELP US ALL. D:

THE ONLY SHOW WHERE YOU CAN GET EMOTIONAL OVER ~BEES~Collapse )

In conclusion, Elementary is perfection and happy-making and if you're not watching it you need to, like, immediately. It's THAT GOOD.

Defiance has been renewed for a second season.

Killer Women, starring BSG alums Tricia Helfer and Michael Trucco, has been picked up by ABC.

Nikita has been renewed for a fourth season. Our underdog show gets another season and I am so happy. Although it seems that there's uncertainty about how many episodes the season will contain, and apparently it'll be lesser than previous seasons. Possibly under ten? Idk.

It appears that The Borgias might not be getting a fourth season, and instead the story will possibly be wrapped up by a two-hour televised movie. At least, that's what is being talked about behind the scenes.

Now all we need is news regarding Hannibal. *crosses all the fingers*

Game of Thrones: I didn't watch the last episode, though I got the gist of what happened. I'm just waiting for the next episode because THE BEAR PIT and DANY. ♥

Hannibal: Everyone should be watching this show. I'm not just saying this because it's dangerously on the verge of not getting renewed (which I really hope it does), but also because it's a very, very good show, and very gorgeous too. Grotesquely gorgeous, in fact. Even if this isn't your preferred genre, it's still rather fascinating to watch. Someone said that it's very dreamlike, and indeed it is. Also, the best part about it is that you already know who Hannibal is and what he does. Everyone else around him is completely oblivious so it's just a matter of inside jokes with himself and the audience (ex. "It's always nice to have friends over for dinner.")

Defiance: Continues to be amazing. Also another show people should be watching if you aren't already. I pretty much love everything about the Tarr family, Stahma in particular because she is just so cunning and manipulative in a very calm, polite way. If she were to play the game of thrones, she would win hands down.

Elementary: Continues to be happy-making. JOAN AND SHERLOCK = FOREVER CHILDREN AND ADORABLE BFFS. ♥_♥ And we get Irene Alder this week! :D

Doctor Who: I haven't watched anything passed the Christmas episode, to be honest. It just hasn't really enthused me as it used to. I'm thinking once Clara's identity is revealed that will determine whether I will continue watching or not.

Still not over Daenerys' scene from the last episode, I've lost count at how many times I have rewatched it. I'm just so in love. ♥_♥

Also, I have the desire to learn how to speak High Valyrian.

Just the way Daenerys spoke it in the episode was so powerful, you could really see a future leader and ruler in her with the way she pronounces and articulates her commands. What's amazing is that it's a made-up language, yet it's absolutely gorgeous and the fact that she makes it seem so effortless in the way she spoke the words impresses me so much. Granted it's part of the character, Valyrian being her mother tongue so of course she would speak it fluently, but the difference in the power of her voice from speaking it as opposed to Dothraki just blows my mind.

This is where I wish I was a linguist, because this kind of stuff is just so fascinating.

So I have High Valyrian, Dothraki, and Khuzdul for fictional languages that I want to learn, along with all the other languages in our world that I want to learn to speak and understand. My priorities, let me show you them.

A DRAGON IS NO SLAVE.Collapse )

TL;DR: BOW DOWN TO YOUR KHALEESI, FUTURE QUEEN OF WESTEROS.

If I were to convert someone into watching the show, this would be one of the scenes to do it. In fact, even if you haven't watched Game of Thrones I highly suggest watching the clip posted to not only see how fucking amazing Daenerys is as a character in her own right, but to see how well-done the scene is overall. The show itself goes on and off on how they justly adapt scenes from the books (sometimes they change things and not for the better), but it's moments like this that really demonstrates that sometimes when they get it right, they get it right. I've seen people say that even though knowing what happens from the books, just watching it happen on the screen gave them chills, and I concur with this sentiment.

My people have a God called Urzu. He has a path for each of us. Where it takes us is not always where we imagined. There is a reason. Nolan's people call it fate.Collapse )

Overall, I really enjoyed the premiere of this new series. It has a lot of elements that I like. It sort of reminded me of Eureka with how certain things were introduced, adding in the fusion of Firefly and Farscape to the characters and world and situations. Hopefully if TPTB are smart, they'll take full advantage of this show and make it be as amazing as it can be. It could become the next big thing since Battlestar Galactica aired, which according to the ratings they hit big, bigger than they've had in years now. That's gotta say something, right?

Oh, and never mind that the soundtrack was simply phenomenal. Then again, when you have Bear McCreary working on something it's bound to be brilliant regardless. Just listen to the main theme. Two words: Gorgeously epic.

I highly recommend checking out Defiance if you are in need of something new to watch.
