What's been going on.

Thought I'd do a post about things I've liked lately and things I've discovered.

Firstly, I've started posting on Gateworld, and what fun I've had! I couldn't believe how nice everyone is over there. It's great to get to chat to people from all over the world who have the same interests and same sense of humour, in some cases, as yourself.

There's been a lot of great TV, particularly in the UK, on at the moment and I'd like to say a bit about that. The Misfits finale was unbelievably moving, Simon and Alisha's storyline has been one of my favourites on TV since they got together in series 2. And now with them locked in the never-ending time loop thingy it was beyond tragic!

Merlin also finished a couple of weeks ago. Now, this is one of my guilty pleasures as it is so ridiculous and over the top BUT completely addictive. The finale again was very good, with plenty of battle scenes and I really enjoyed the play on the Excalibur myth (or was it a play?).

What else... I'm really into Once Upon a Time, I like to play the game of spot the extra. There seems to be a group of actors who have appeared in nearly all the Canadian sci-fi/fantasy shows and OUAT is no different. Watching one of the new episodes I spotted Kelly from BSG (but he's been in plenty of other things too).

Big news for me this week was the end of Sanctuary season 4. After a great build up this season in the tense feelings between various characters (the episode in the caves was just a fantastic piece of writing of the relationship between Magnus and Will), the finale felt like a definite piece of wrapping up by the writers. The Sanctuary has been destroyed and Will and Magnus have come to what feels like a more equal point in their relationship. There are definitely questions still to be answered (such as what happened to Biggie) but with the fate of season 5 looking more and more gloomy, I think the final vision of the beautiful new sanctuary could be our last glimpse at this wonderfully original series. I'm really saddened by this, because, aside from the fact that I'm a huge AT fan, the series has been a breath of fresh air and it would be a great shame to lose another sci-fi series.

Think I will put up a post soon about some of the films I'm looking forward to in 2012 (oh I can't begin to explain how excited I am for this year!), I'm off to catch up on some more telly.
