Sleepy Hollow. Best new show to come along in years. You can watch most of it legally on Fox's website (at least if you're in the US).

Almost Human isn't as good, but it's still a lot of fun. Future cop drama, has bits of Alien, Blade Runner, and Die Hard in its makeup.

How I Met Your Mother looks set up to finish strong. It's had a couple of misses so far this season, but is overall doing well. If you start marathoning from the beginning now, you might get caught up in time for the series finale.

I had been really looking forward to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but found it really boring once it actually came out. There's just no one I care about in the main cast, so there's no tension or drama or anything, and they don't have the budget to just ride on special effects and cool fight scenes.

Good movies I've seen this year, Pacific Rim, Thor 2, and Iron Man 3 were all excellent. John Carter is a bit older, but it was largely overlooked when it was out. It's a bit cheesy, but very fun, and with amazing graphics. Watch it on the best screen you can manage.

ROCKET ELBOW!!!!!! !! !1!! !!11!!

no but seriously though such a good movie. Giant robots and giant dino-aliens are the best.

Last movie I saw was when in Rome, watched it with mum yesterday. 9/10 Movie did enjoy, interesting plot for what it was and the lead girl is cute but unfortunately married in real life, shared a few giggles.






What did The Hive think or Thor 2?
I loved it, seen it three times on the big screen so far.

Pacific Rim was great in cinema, not so much after watching another two times. It always bugs me how the fight with Cherno Alpha and Crimson Typhoon lasts for like three minutes, and on the other hand how they use way more than half an hour to establish characters I couldn't care less about. Still, all sorts of good fun.

I don't really watch movies or television any more. It's kind of weird, I think the only series I've watched in recent times was Batman: The Animated Series, and while that stuff is amazing it's not exactly recent. Going to see Desolation of Smaug this weekend, though I'm not exactly hyped. Not exactly expecting a faithful representation of Tolkien's classic (that train has long left), but some dwarves vs dragon action will do just fine I guess.

Anyone excited for the Godzilla reboot? Looks solid IMO.

Best series of the year for me was Orphan Black: gritty contemporary Sci-Fi series about cloning. Lead actress plays multiple roles, and she was absolutely amazing at it. Great humour, clashes between sub-culture anti-heroes, soccer mums and evil corporations, and proper pulls-rug-from-under-your-feet moments in every episode. An absolute Must-See.

Re-watching stuff at the moment but if it's recommendations you want here are a few that you might not have heard of:

Sharpe - War time genre set in the early 1800's during the war between Britain and France. Lovable cast, great writing and the episodes really only improve as the series goes on. The show that made Sean Bean a household name in Britain.

Twin Peaks - Murder Mystery/Soap Opera/Supernatural/Rom Com/Action/Genre Stew. 80s classic that is still the best written series as I'm concerned. Any show that can convince you to go along with the sort of zany logic you'll see in this deserves respect. Also has one of the most likeable protagonists in television.

Baccano! - More genre stew. If you like anime watch Baccano! If you hate anime watch Baccano! If you're indifferent to anime watch Baccano! Seriously one of the most enjoyable shows around. Straight up, no holds barred entertainment.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - Kind of a love/hate sort of show. If you like tongue-in-cheek, over the top action then you'll probably love it. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea you'll probably hate it. Think Fist of the North Star meets Commando meets Top Gun meets Dragonball Z. It's the most testosterone fueled, homoerotic nonsense you'll see in a long time and, if you can sit back and laugh at how silly it all is it's downright hilarious.
