Star Trek 12!!!!!!

[elli]

They are starting to shoot Star Trek 12 in winter!! And JJ is directing!!!! I already did a little dance here to the amusement of my colleagues!!!!


Also the seasons seasons of True Blood and Torchwood have ended and it's time to write about it. The forth book was my favorite in the True Blood seriesbut many apects I loved left me cold here. The whole season was messy and chopped and I didn't care about most of the storylines at all. The faires were weird and gross, the witches were uninteresting, Eric/Sookie wasn't as appealing as it was in the books. I was disturbed by Jasons storyline in the fist book and I really disliked the witches. Beeeel as vampire King made me go WTF. But then considering the fact that he is hardly in the books after book 3, they had to give him somethign to do, right?

What I did like, oddly enough, was Jason with Jessica. Even though I really do ship her with Hoyt. I enjoyed that. Also the ending... Tara?? Jesus??? WTF? I really didn't care about Tara all that much even though she became more reasonable to me in the second half of the season.

Also Newlin the Vampire.. I like it. And those chains, I wonder was it Russel Edgington?

I had high hopes for Torchwood after I loved Children of the Earth so much and I looove Bill Pullman and Lauren Ambrose, so I figured I would love this too...but it was a mess. The character I liked the most, they killed of in the first few episodes. There were some apects that I liked. Like the basic premise wa really really cool and I loved the first conclusions that werre drawn, but they never realized their full potential and it went from exposition, to exposition to more exposition and I have no idea in restrospect what the highlights were. I still don't know what the purpose was of Bill Pullmans character. I would have liked something less fantastic as a resolution as well.

Anyways, fall TV is starting and I'm really excited for a few things. I really enjoyed the previews of Ringer that I saw and look foprward to watching that tonight. Also Parenthood has returned!!!! YAY

I cannot wait to see Joe Flanigan in the Fringe pilot. Joe flanigan on Fringe. I think I might die.

Between the fabulous promo shots and the pierrefonds visit, the promo pics and this fabulous photoshoot, I'm ready for the new season of Merlin.

Yay for Star Trek! I thoroughly enjoyed the first one and I was so SO hoping there'd be a sequel. Are Pine, Urban and Quinto going to be in it? I hope so. :c And JJ directing is just the icing on the cake. Woot. :D

Another yay for Ringer. I watched it when it premiered and safe to say I'm on board. Great plot, pretty men and oh yeah, SMG. I'm excited. :)

So excited for Fringe too. One week to go! :)

I'm rediculously excited for this!!! I love the last one so much. and I think they have contracts for multiple movies. Like always ;)

YAY for Ringer. And Fringe.. omg.- one week is not much.

[justmyb0nes.livejournal.com]

if I may, from what I've heard, they all signed for 3.

[elli.livejournal.com]

Sure ;)

And that's the case most of the time, right?

[justmyb0nes.livejournal.com]

yep. It seems to be a trend nowadays for big movies.

[elli.livejournal.com]

I heard...that even if just one movie is planned they sign for at least three, just so the option is there.

[justmyb0nes.livejournal.com]

really? It explains it then!

[elli.livejournal.com]

;)

[justmyb0nes.livejournal.com]

I'm praying that JJ will fight and don't do 3D.

I can't wait to see it. THEY SHOULD HURRY UP!

[elli.livejournal.com]

OMG yes please. I hate 3d.
And I hope it won't take too long. It's been ages since the last part.

[justmyb0nes.livejournal.com]

Yes. He's pushing it a bit too much. He should be more careful, he wants to do too many stuff.

[elli.livejournal.com]

Well..I don#t mind that too much. he's a creative guy who wants to try a lot and if he can... why not. I wish I had that luxury.

I keep thinking 3d lesnflares might be an experiment ;)

[justmyb0nes.livejournal.com]

I want him to stop TV and do only movies LOL *hides*

I... no. Just no. I hate 3D LOL
And man, 3D lensflare would cause so many people to be sick in the theatre lol

[elli.livejournal.com]

rofl.. understandable. did you see Super 8?

Btu as an artist, if I were a TV and movie writer, I'd find TV more complelling, because you can tell a story over a longer period and time and have real characters developement.

And yes... they ould be..and I would be ;)

[justmyb0nes.livejournal.com]

I adored Super 8.

Well, to be honest I never liked any JJ's shows but I always loved his movies. (so far)

[brasaremean.livejournal.com]

so much eye candy in that photoshoot. nekkid!knights, my favorite kind.
i can't wait for fringe and merlin either!

[elli.livejournal.com]

Heeee.. awesome. I'm more excited for Merlin than I have ever been.

[blueymcphluey.livejournal.com]

just thought I'd say that the highlight of the season for me was the big speech by the rapist guy, intermittently cut with the doctor's horrible brutal burning death - intense stuff

[elli.livejournal.com]

Really? I was so horrified with both scenes, but then Vera.. I think that was her name.. she was my favorite. But it was definately intense.

[blueymcphluey.livejournal.com]

yeah, well I just live for that kind of intensity. I watch so much tv and a lot of it just breezes past but that scene got my heart racing, when he shot Vera it just felt so REAL

[elli.livejournal.com]

It was very very unexpected! And shocking.

[legoline.livejournal.com]

Eooooiiiiiiiiiin!

Still don't have an icon of the man.

[elli.livejournal.com]

Me either :/ Realproof has the one where he shakes his hair that I love.

[liz-mo.livejournal.com]

ST 12! FTW! YAY!

Also, I am SO ready for the new Season of Merlin!

Arthur and his Knights and his Merlin all together! Love it already :=)
