Scully, Skinner and the Iron Throne - a day at London Film and Comic Con

If you're a geek like me you've been reading Twitter this week and crying tears of pain that you're not in San Diego enjoying Comic-Con. But last weekend I was geeking out big style at London Film and Comic Con, and it was awesome! 

Something about being human and playing hunger games

Today is all about killing and stuff.

2011 - my geeky year in review

It's that time of year when we feel compelled to look back and ponder what the point of the last 365 days has been. Thankfully, 2011 has been full of memorable geeky moments for me.

Becoming Human - what's next?

Geek in my week - Mitchell lives on (kind of)

Just a quick random post - I might have more to say later after a day of Craig Roberts based viewing activities (am off to see Submarine and back in time to catch the entire Becoming Human series on BBC3).

Since Mitchell got dusted I've been a bit sad. But when I was in London last week I spotted something that made me smile.

Staking, stabbing, snarling and Shirley Bassey - Being Human series 3 episode 7

Beware of spoilers! 

The penultimate episode of a series is usually when something seismic happens to shift everything out of place. This could be the staus quo getting a shakeup or something really bad happening that needs to be mopped up in the next, and final, episode. Penultimate episodes are the teaser pay off for a season of dedicated fandom.

Last night was the penultimate episode of BBC Three's Being Human. For people like me who had no spoilers in mind it was an hour full of "OMFG DID THEY JUST DO THAT?!" moments.

The scruffy vampire realisation

I finished my Being Human marathon last weekend and now I'm a bit obssessed with the lives (and afterlives) of Mitchell, Annie and George. And after admitting to myself that I would forgive Mitchell all his killing sprees because I'm really that shallow, I realised that my taste in vampires has completely changed from clean cut to scruffy.

It's never too late to jump on the fanwagon

I've just started watching BBC3's Being Human, and I'm two series late (trust me, I'm ashamed of myself). It got me thinking about the pros and cons of getting on the fanwagon a bit late and whether the goodness outweighs the baggage of so many potential spoilers.
