Being Human

S

o there's a vampire, a ghost and a werewolf...

Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, right?

:-)

Anyway, one of SyFy's new shows is Being Human. A vampire & a werewolf move into a house inhabited by the ghost of a chick who died 6 months previously. The vamp & his buddy move in to try to act like normal human beings and keep each other from "falling off the wagon" and killing people.

After they move in, they are surprised to find the ghost of an oddly "perky" ghost who is surprised that they can see her (since no one else can).

This is only the second show, but it's aight so far.

I mean, I'm not a Twilight fan. I watched the first movie because it was at the library & I rented it for free, but I haven't read any of the books and have no desire to see any of the other movies.

Being Human capitalizes on the current vampire/werewolf craze in a way that Moonlight was unable to do. Also, this is on SyFy, which means that it will be given more than a few episodes to gain a fan base.

If you're too old for Twilight & too young for Bela Lugosi movies, you might enjoy this series. It's on SyFy on Mondays @ 9/8c.

In other news, I got a catalog in the mail today. I never get catalogs. Only the usual store circulars & Domino's coupons. But this is a catalog for Nerds!

O.M.Actual.G!!!!!!!!!

In addition to Unicorn Meat in a can, the ThinkGeek 8-bit tie and Space Gun LED Key Ring, there's baconnaise (bacon flavored Mayo), bacon scented candles, a talking bacon plushie & all kinds of other bacon shit! (Did you know there was bacon flavored hot sauce? I didn't) Wheeeeeeeee. I'm ordering the Baconnaise & possibly the bacon flavored pop-corn. (There's bacon salt too.) OMG. I feel the clogged arteries already, LOL.

We don't get actual bacon much because it's too expensive to keep in the house with The Boy who can go through a 24 pack of hot dogs in a week.

Hmmmm, I can get a Sonic Screwdriver like the 10th or 11th Doctor. :-) Since I haven't seen the 11th Doctor, I'll stick with the 10th. I think it can be an actual screwdriver or you can get one that's an ink pen.

I think I got on their mailing list when I ordered my Bazinga Shirt for X-mas. Whatevs. I like it. :-)

Warehouse 13 on SyFy

T

his week started a new crop of tv shows (I can't tell you how thrilled I am that Eureka is back.) One of the new shows was Warehouse 13.

It was a 2 hour premier. I think I fell asleep trying to watch it 3 times, which made me think I was going to hate it. Or, at least, not like it very much.

But to be fair, I finally watched it yesterday, when I wasn't sleepy, LOL.

It reminded me of X-files. Seriously. The guy who is open to everything and thinks "the truth is out there" and the woman/his new partner who is strictly by the rules and thinks the guy is a little...prone to flights of fancy.

Anyway, I did like watching this newer version of Scully & Mulder. :-)

The show is about 2 Secret Service agents who are reassigned to Warehouse 13. Their new jobs are to track down "objects" that might be harmful in the world if they are allowed to remain outside with the populace.

I think if you liked X-Files, you will like this.I thought it was interesting that they said things like "This vehicle is powered by your internal electricity. Henry Ford built it before the car, but the car company decided that they'd make more money with something that broke down & would be replaced" (Not an exact quote, but you get the gist.)

They mentioned Tesla & a few other scientists I've heard of from movies (like The Prestige) or real life. It always makes it more believable if the "great minds" people talk about are actual great minds and not fictional characters, don't you think?

Whatever.

I think if you liked X-Files, you will like this.

Tuesdays @ 9 EST on SyFy (formerly Sci-Fi).

That is all.
