++ The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug exclusive behind-the-scenes sneak peek happened a few days ago, to which has gotten me ridiculously excited for the movie to come out. THORIN AND THRANDUIL! LEGOLAS AND THRANDUIL! TAURIEL! DWARVES IN BARRELS! BARD THE BOWMAN! LAKETOWN! a;sfjd;alskfd;laskdf GIVE IT ALL TO ME NOW! *grabby hands*

++ Pretty Little Liars just got renewed for a fifth season (even though they've just starting to film their fourth), along with getting a spin-off series called Ravenswood. It shouldn't be surprising considering this show is considered widely popular and has a huge following of fans, but it still boggles the mind when things like that happen. I'm also curious about this sister series, which will have their own little mysteries going on. Fortunately, with the same staff working on it and hopefully a talented cast like with our four main Liars, it will be just as good as its predecessor.

++ Additionally, CBS has renewed Elementary for a second season. I mean, there wasn't any doubt in my mind this would happen, but it's still amazing news to hear nonetheless.

++ Game of Thrones and Doctor Who return this weekend! I am both excited and apprehensive for both, for different reasons of course.

I have heard about Orphan Black, and it does sound pretty interesting. It reminds me of that YA book series Replica, based on the description. So I may check it out just to see what it's all about.

I'm planning to.

I'm also interested in the new Syfy series Defiance premiering on April 15. It looks really interesting. I've seen various promos and the first 14 minutes of the pilot On Demand. Many of the same writers as Battlestar Galactica are working on it and Battlestar composer Bear McCreary is doing the music. The alien languages are all created by David J. Peterson of the Language Creation Society, who made the full Dothraki language for Game of Thrones. Julie Benz, Stephanie Leonidas and Jaime Murray are in the main cast. I recommend checking Defiance out too. It's also going to be a MMO shooter game, released April 2, and the show and game will connect.

Oh, I've been looking forward to Defiance for some time actually. I've been meaning to write a post about it, because I really want more people to be aware of what I think will be a great show. I mean, just from everything with designing of the world and the characters and different alien races, it seems so elaborate and fascinating. Right up my alley, too.

It seems that Syfy may be getting its juice back. Hopefully they'll give the show a proper chance. *crosses fingers*

Oh, good, I don't have to make a lengthy post with all the info on the series so far. It looks like a worthy successor to BSG as Syfy's top show! All the promotion and the existence of both a game and a show makes me think they're going to give this one a proper chance instead of screwing it like Caprica. I'm really excited!
