He’s a miracle!

When you’re not feeling well, and once the migraines sort of go away and it’s just tiredness (even though you’ve slept for hours and hours everyday), there isn’t much to do at home except watching TV from the sofa. One of my favourite pastimes is watching series. I know, it’s sort of lame. I could say one of my favourite things to do is… I don’t know, something much cooler, but the truth is I love watching series. I don’t normally watch actual TV. I’m not one to watch the news, or discussion programs, and all that, or QI, or Top Gear, as my brother does. This past week I watched a few episodes of Ninja Warrior UK and other variations, which I discovered make me feel super stressed, but I’m not really into that sort of thing. Series, on the other hand, well, I could spend hours in front of my TV or laptop, watching episode after episode. At any given time, I’m following at least 3-4 different ones. At the moment, we have …

The problem with a long wait is that it creates expectations. It doesn’t matter what it is, a trip, a party, a date, or a new series. You have plenty of time to imagine how awesome it’s going to be and make up stories in your head. The problem with expectations is that sometimes, they get too high and then, when the moment comes, reality can’t really keep up. Suddenly, that thing you had been waiting for becomes a disappointment. I had been waiting quite a while for the new Sons of Anarchy series, and my expectations were high. Last season ended with a jaw dropping moment. Something that, in hindsight, was going to happen at one point or another, but that you really didn’t expect when it did. The trailers I had seen for season 7 promised a lot of violence and amazing moments. I was really looking forward to it. I’m not going to go into much detail about episode 1 of season 7, because it’s just out and I don’t want to …

Review: Penny Dreadful – S01E01

Published by

Today, I finally started watching Penny Dreadful, which my friend Brian had recommended a while ago. For one reason or another, it has taken me this long to watch the first episode, and now I wonder why… It was that good. Yes, it was so good, I decided to write about it here. If you haven’t watched it yet, you should, and of course, beware of spoilers below. If you have watched it already, how cool is it?!? We begin by watching this woman getting out of bed in a very dark flat in London, we assume, and going to the toilet. Yes, nothing glamorous here. We can see the woman and her daughter are poor, mainly because they look dirty and share a small bed. While she’s in the toilet, something comes from the window (panel?) behind her and takes her away in a rather violent manner, thus waking the daughter up. It bothered me the fact that the little girl was wearing only one thick sock. I mean… who knows, but what’s the …
