DC Television!

  [Courtesy of Warner Bros/DC Comics]

So it's no secret that I am a huge fan of all things Marvel, but what about DC? When it comes to television, DC has some great shows. But my absolute favourite has got to be The Flash.

Now I hear you all saying what about Arrow, or Gotham? But they are a bit too dark for my own taste. I enjoy my Superheroes with just a little cheese factor, as a constant serious tone will eventually put me off. So I just recently discovered the Flash and managed to binge watch the hell out of the first season.

I actually cannot believe that Grant Gustin will not be playing the Flash on the big screen. I don't think I'd be interested in watching The Flash Movie as it will just be a rehashing of what we have right now, which I'm not interested in watching.

So what is so good about this show? It's funny, lighthearted, yet it can be serious. There are great twists and turns for everyone and also some great easter eggs for those that know what to look for.

Metahuman's are usually the big enemies but sometimes its just horrible humans, like my current favourite villian, Captain Cold. There's even a Gorilla in this series, who wouldn't want to see that?

If you haven't watched The Flash yet, as some people out there stay away from everything DC besides Batman, then give it a shot. If you don't like it then try something more dark like Arrow or Gotham.

Another show which has a similar tone to The Flash is Supergirl. You might get fed up hearing the words, "My Cousin," but it does have a lot of spirit and some great potential. I suppose I'm being too hard on the cousin thing but I just feel like this show needs to remind you of that fact, even if we already know it.

So I guess what this whole post is designed to do is remind everyone that no matter if it's Marvel or DC superhero television is great. If you enjoy cheesy Marvel stuff then you will enjoy the DC cheese. Same goes for the dark stuff. Give Superheroes a chance!

Game of Thrones - The Hall of Faces Trailer and Theories!

I've been watching out for this trailer for the past week and was pretty excited to see some footage from the new season. Instead we got to see the faces of characters, some of whom are long lost, and others who have yet to leave us. SPOILER WARNING for those who haven't caught up with season five. The trailer takes place in the Hall of Faces, which is inside the House of Black and White in Braavos. The hall looks great, creepy but great. We can hear some whispers which are too quiet for me to make out. Then Ned's (Sean Bean) face appears on screen, we then hear him say a line from the show's first ever episode called Winter is Coming.    "The Man who passes the sentence should swing the sword." The screen then fades to black and we then see a clip of some more rows of heads. We then hear even more whispers and which I think sounds like some drops of waters. We then hear the voice of Robb Stark (Richard Madden) who we hear give a quote from seaso...

My week off!

             [Quickmeme] Hello everybody. I took an inpromptu week off this week. Was only meant to be for Thanksgiving weekend but on Sunday I started to get a bad flu. Still not quite right at the moment. Chicken noodle soup would be great at the moment.                                   [USA Network] So what have I been watching on my week off? Besides the shows I usually write for this week I started watching Mr. robot, and I have to say it is pretty great. Think Fight Club meets The Social Network, very much shot like a David Fincher movie. It's gritty and had me hooked pretty quickly. Definitely a must see for those who haven't watched it already. [Paramount Pictures] So I decided it was time to watch some Christmas Movies and I popped this on. I thought it would be great and I'd be instantly transported back to my childhood. It wa...

Daredevil Recap

Hopefully by now most of you will be sitting down to watch the second season of Daredevil, I on the other hand have to wait on a certain person getting home from his job before I can start watching. So in order to fill my time and maybe fill in some of the blanks you have, I decided to do a recap of season one. A season one SPOILER WARNING is in affect so if you haven't watched it then please do go back and take a look at it. In April 10th 2015 we got something spectacular, most of us didn't want to see Daredevil on any screen thanks to that movie we got back in 2003. I myself was talked into watching the series but I went into it on a clean slate and had zero expectations. Boy was I wrong. Episode 1: Into the Ring In a flashback we see a young Matt Murdock (Skylar Gaertner) saving a man from a car accident, it all goes south though when a batch of chemicals spill and they blind him. In present day Murdock (Charlie Cox), wears a black mask and is fighting four guy...
