Well both Monroe (ITV) and Alphas (5*) have started their second seasons. I have watched both episodes of Monroe and 2 & 3 of Alphas. I will be writing reviews on all the episodes in the coming days.
Basically right now I should be writing :
A review of Monroe on Monday or Tuesday
A review of Alphas on Tuesday or Wednesday
A review of Red Dwarf on Thursday or Friday
With intermittent dollops of anime twittering in between!
What I will say is Monroe and Alphas have both started off were they left off. Wonderful shows.

Dilemma in love!
I have a dilemma.
I don't know whether I should talk to my boyfriend or not about a group he's joined and it's doing my nut in!
I find it very hard to talk to him about these things but I think I need to talk to him this once, usually I just write him a letter!

Fairy Tail Characters
There is a large amount of characters in Fairy Tail. Not only do they give you an in depth look at the Fairy Tail wizards but at most characters you meet along the way.
So for this blog I will tell you about my favorite characters!
*SPOILERS - I will be talking about characters and things they have done so if you aren't at least up to episode 70 don't read*

Fairy Tail
OK so I have been watching Fairy Tail the anime and I thought I'd write about why I love it so much.
If you stumble on this post and don't watch Fairy Tail let me tell you a little about it.
Basically its set in a world were magic exists, there are many different types of wizards and they belong to guilds. By far the most destructive (but in a good way) guild is Fairy Tail. It is home to legendary wizards, and legendary wizards in the making. Saying this though they are all friendly and just one big family, even if they fight amongst themselves a lot. And I mean A LOT!
The main characters are Team Natsu. In this team is Lucy, a celestial wizard, Erza, a wizard that uses the requip ability, Gray, a Ice maker wizard, Happy, a flying cat and Natsu, a Dragon Slayer wizard.
The wizards in the guilds go on jobs posted by people to their guilds to earn their living. Obviously the series focuses around some of the bigger jobs that Team Natsu goes on (with some of the smaller ones too.)
See below for why I love it...

*SPOILER WARNING* For those who are still yet to see it obviously don't look any further!

Fed up and under appreciated
There are just some weeks that drain everything from you.
I have just had one of those weeks.
In fact one of those fortnights!
My assistant manager is a total idiot, he's basically spent the last two weeks trying to bully everyone around. That I can deal with, he's a prick, he wants to be the big man and because he's the new guy (and shit at his job) he takes it out on everyone else. Whatever, get over yourself.
But you'd think seeing as I'm basically spending the days being told how worthless and stupid I am my boyfriend of all people will be trying to build my confidence up?

Doctor Who : Asylum of the Daleks
(I know I'm behind but I've decided to write the reviews for the first three episodes anyway on here!)
So for the opening episode of Series 7 Steven Moffat has decided to write for the Daleks for the first time.
I have to say that the hype for this episode was through the roof! Everyone who had seen it told us how wonderful it was and even though the big spoiler technically was given away I have to say it was pretty damn great!

DWM 450 : A Battle of Wits Desert Island
I was reading my Doctor Who Magazine today (latest issue 450) and the battle of the wits this month was basically two lists of Doctor Who stories they'd like to be stuck on a desert island with. So I thought to do my own!
1. The Two Doctors
Johnny Candon included this episode into his list, I'm not sure if its for the same reason. The Two Doctors really is one of my all time favorite episodes of Who. I love having my favorite Doctor and favorite companion meeting. I loved the comedy aspects as well as the action and the serious side. Sontarian are one of my favorite bad guys, I love it when there is just one Sontaran up to mischief! The whole dynamic of actors was simply superb!
2. Vincent and the Doctor
One of the most brilliant episodes I have ever watched, it was such a sweet and emotional episode and cemented my love for Matt Smiths Doctor. A truly wonderful episode and one that manages to make me cry and laugh with every watching.
3.The Happiness Patrol
I can see why so many people dislike this episode but for me it was just a fun episode to watch. The premise behind it was interesting and even the stupider ideas where interesting. I really loved watching the episode and so happy I didn't listen to people telling me not to buy the DVD.
4. Spearhead from Space
I really enjoy this episode and it has a special place in my heart purely for being the first classic Who DVD I bought. Plus it had a lovely darker side to it.
5. A Christmas Carol
This is really a masterpiece, I love this episode so much. Everything about it is Christmassy and every time I watch it I think of Christmas. Its a wonderfully put together episode and not only that it takes apart a classic story and reinvents it in such a heartwarmingly sweet way. Everything from the flying fish to Sardick I loved.
6. The Five Doctors
Maybe just maybe I'm a sentimental fool but I loved the interaction between the four Doctors in this episode, and all the companions. Of course made even better by Patrick Troughton and Nicolas Courtney being paired up. Its everything I hope the 50th anniversary will be like. A handful of beloved monsters, the Master being cheeky, the Doctors showing how clever they are, the companions rolling their eyes at their Doctor... Its a perfect story for fans.
7. The Time Warrior
I just adore this classic Sontaran episode, as I said above (or hinted or whatever) I love the Sontarans I think they are a wonderful species if only because you only need the one of them to cause maximum chaos. And not only that but it being Sarah Janes first episode, the historic setting and it being a Pertwee episode make it a must have if I am stuck on a desert island!
8. The Mysterious Planet
The first installment of the Trial of the Timelords. I do love the whole trial to begin with, Colin Bakers cheeky digs at the Valeyard is sweet. The story itself isn't too bad and I was hooked the first time I watched it, I've been hooked everytime I watch it. It truly is one of my favorite episodes.
Book : Touched by an Angel
I really do like this book, I think it was the best Weeping Angels story by far. It was sweet and sad and you felt for all the characters. The Angels where also very scary even though they where right in the background of the whole story. I do like a lot of the Eleventh Doctor stories but this really does have to be a personal favorite just because it was such a touching and well put together story with one of Moffats most iconic villians.
I don't really have a item I'd want to take with me other than maybe a talking Dalek plushie I do love my nieces and seeing she steals my stuff all the time I might have to steal hers!

Finally back online
Today, thankfully, BT have installed our internet. This means wonderfully that now I will be able to come online whenever I want! Meaning my blog will become properly active from now on.
10 July 2012
Been gone ages....
After getting a blog I suddenly disappear for ages!
For a change it wasn't my fault, I had internet problems which got followed by life problems and then cancelled my internet altogether! I've only just got on for 5 minutes for the first time since early May!
So much has changed really, I have a growing Troll army, I'm getting closer to being forced into joining more of Davids hobbies then I really wanted to join but the best news is that at the beginning of August I'll be getting proper Wi-Fi even if it is BT! So I'll be back online and for the first time ever be able to take my PS3 online too.
There's not really been that much more happening in my life, I've seen a load more movies in the cinema, most of them disappointments, and I spent a week having to hold my temper as I got closer and closer to killing my assistant manager!
Hopefully it'll all get better soon though, I've decided to give the fan site one more try moving away from Bruno Senna and maybe starting a Sergio Perez page up!
That is basically all there is to report, hopefully I'll be able to pop back online at least once more before I get BT, if not then mid August I should be back!
