++ Also a brand new Avengers trailer appeared, making it look absolutely fan-frakking-tastically awesome, plus there are some new clips from The Hunger Games. I hadn't seen any from the latter, but from what I've seen of gifs and such it looks to be completely faithful to how it plays out in the book. Something I am definitely looking forward to seeing in the theaters.
++ Newer monsters to be introduced in Series 7 of Doctor Who, explains Steven Moffat. I quite agree with his reasoning too. It's good to have variety of big bads and nasties, especially when you consider what a vast universe as Doctor Who has, and quite frankly having old monsters returning time and time again does get rather dull and loses its touch. I mean, everyone remembers what happened when RTD brought back the Daleks ad nausem. Besides, Moffat has the ability to create things that SCARE THE BEEJEZUS out of us all, so when he says the newer monsters are better than the old ones I can believe it. O_o
++ Alex O'Loughlin takes a brief leave of absence from Hawaii Five-0. Hope he gets well soon. ♥
++ Want something interesting? According to these statistics, Ringer is considered the top rated CW series in Canadian ratings, followed by The Vampire Diaries and Nikita, all which surpass ATNM. This is quite a fascinating study on how the rating systems differ, but it brings to question whether Canadian ratings even be taken into account for deciding the fate of whether certain shows get renewed. My guess is probably not, hence why the American ratings system is fundamentally flawed and unfair. Le sigh.

Date: 2012-03-05 01:07 am (UTC)The music, the scenes, just fit so perfectly. I think I have watched it over a gazillion times. And now I am obsessed with the song. a;l;fkjda;slfkjdasdf

Date: 2012-03-05 03:45 am (UTC)I'm not ready, I still have shows that I need to catch up on before the new stuff comes out. Real life? What is that? lol
no subject
Date: 2012-03-05 04:02 am (UTC)Yes, real life doesn't exist. Except, I have school work to do and law school applications to finish. I'm way behind on some shows too, namely Revenge and Nikita. I figure that is what I will do over spring break.

Date: 2012-03-05 04:04 am (UTC)Well, bleak is a rather understatement considering what is going to be happening next, but I somewhat agree there could be some glimmer of hope, just so people aren't completely emotionally drained from watching the show. Even with some of my other darker shows, there had been moments of hope and for the possibility of a future.
Thanks for posting that info on Ringer's Canada ratings. If only they had impact on renewal.
I know. :/

Date: 2012-03-05 04:41 am (UTC)You mean this show has other characters? xD
(I find the male characters interesting, but mostly as a foil for the female characters. Except maybe Renly, because he's just sassy and adorable)

Date: 2012-03-05 04:44 am (UTC)I like to think they're using that scene of Sansa because anything else will be spoilery? Esp for non-book readers (that may be why we don't have footage of
AshaYara or Ygritte yet). BUT IT HURTS MY HEART AND MY HEAD. And oh Sansa my bb one day you'l have your revenge.no subject
Date: 2012-03-05 01:28 pm (UTC)yay for new Doctor Who-monsters! Now if only there was a new, interesting plot as well and a good Companion. /snark
Not to mention there are like 46094604690 planets in the DW-universe, there're bound to be a million and one cool nasty things there 8)

Date: 2012-03-05 01:52 pm (UTC)I heard a rumor that they are possibly thinking about bringing back some classic!Who monsters as well, so should be interesting and fun watching what the new series brings us!

Date: 2012-03-05 06:13 pm (UTC)Oh, that'd be great! *__* I just wish for the old goofiness to return, it hasn't been the Doctor Who I originally loved lately. Also: Daleks need to gtfo. I know they're his ~arch enemy~ or whatever but now they're just annoying. :(

Hmmm, that's strange because I've always felt that it was because of Eleven that has been bringing back what Doctor Who has been kind of missing from the RTD era, which is the fairytale aspect and magic and wonder and wizardry of the world. There is definite goofiness from Eleven that Ten didn't have (less with the angst, more with the trickster magic and fun) Then again I have loved everything about Eleven's era and what Moffat has done to bring back who the Doctor is again. I can only hope he continues with it. Which I can't wait to see what he has in store, particularly with the setup of the First Question and what it all means.

Date: 2012-03-06 05:05 am (UTC)DW has been kind of my savior of fandoms, if you will. It's my happy place, especially Series 5 and 6 (which after reading metas makes more sense with how the show progressed to where it is right now) and just yeah. I love the Doctor (Eleven is ♥), the Ponds, River Song, and just al;sfld;afd. ♥ I'm sorry you don't feel the same way, but we all have our differences in preferences so, yeah.
