Thunderbirds Are Go!

Can't sleep! Thunderbirds is following me. I've been noticing a lot of Thunderbirds stuff lately. I use to love the show as a kid, but haven't seen it for a long while. I haven't even seen the Live Action Film that came out a few years ago. Will have to look into that. However they've been stalking me, a few weeks ago I found myself humming the theme tune (quite a few times), then last week one of the market people had a Tracy Island Island Base toyset (complete with Thunderbird 1 and two Thunderbird 3!). Then while I was on Amazon.com I found a Thunderbird Jumpsuit Onesie, and then today as I was on lunch, my iPod was on Shuffle (as it usually is) is played the Theme Song! (Which has been on there for years!)

 So yeah, what does it mean?! Why is it following me?!

 Anyway, Agents of SHIELD episode two was on last night. Second episode in, and getting even better! Favourite parts of it were noticing that the flying robots were named after the Seven Dwarfs! And the staff Grant Ward, what a weapon! Plus two references to Capt American, and Thor! And then.....at the end of the show! That cameo!! XD Looking very forward to next weeks episode.

So short blog today, but most importantly one week til I get that game! 3:)

Reviews and Spoilers.

 Okay, so before I go onto the topic of Marvel's Agents of SHIELD,  IT Crowd, and Pokemon X/Y. I'm gonna talk about Spoilers.

 I always prefer not to know hardly anything about a show/film (or nothing at all, if it's a new season of a show I watch) If you already know everything about a show/film then it's not a surprise to watch it. I will watch the odd trailer, but all the interviews with people leaking out key secrets to the story is very tiresome. So I'm gonna try and not spoil anything when I do a review, no key plots, no revealing twists. I'll try my hardest. (Or I'll at least try and warn before I place a spoiler down.)

 Anyway, firstly to Marvel's Agents of SHIELD. It was a very good first episode, lots of good action scenes. It's pretty much as I thought it was going to be. Possibly tried to add too many new characters into the first episode, but I'm pretty sure I can see where the end episode (or the over all story arc is going) not sure if that's a good or bad thing. However I will be watching it every week!

 The last episode of the IT Crowd. What can I say? It was very funny, lots of little references to past episodes. I thought it was gonna go completely in a different direction. However it was great to see the whole gang together, even if it's only for the last time. And yes, I still want all of Roy's Shirts.

 And Pokemon X and Pokemon Y are out in less than a fortnight now, and late on Friday night, screenshots of the game seemed to be appearing on quite a few sites. It looks like some official game reviewers have got the game early. While screen shots were real, a lot of information seemed to be false. While I hate spoilers for lots of stuff, I don't really mind a few spoilers for pokemon. However I will be keeping away from all pokemon news now until the games have been released. But I will blog an odd post or two about the game series as a whole in the next couple of weeks.

 Going back to Disgaea D2 now (another game, which I will talk about very soon), so until next time.

Can't beat that friday feeling.

 So tonight will be a sad and happy night for me. Sad at the fact I'm getting to see one last episode of the "The IT Crowd", and Happy because "Agents of Shield" is finally airing in the UK!

 The IT Crowd was a great program, which I only really got into on their last series (which was in 2010!). After watching two episodes I went and got the Boxset, and watched it back to back. The characters were brilliant! The stories, while short, were well thought out, and the humor was a spot on every single time. Also, I still want all of Roy's Shirts. While it's sad to see it finish, we'll always have the DVD's to turn off and then on again.

 Now, as I were a kid growing up. I remember three superhero stories which I absolutely loved. One was Batman, Second was Superman, and the Third was "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". While I've gone off turtles, and realllly hate most superman stuff now(I still like Batman, Batman is awesome), I've grown into a bit of a Marvel Fan. Spider-man, X-men, Avengers, Daredevil, Punisher, Deadpool, all of them have gained a bigger part of my heart. However during the Avengers film something sad really happened (Spoiler Alert!) Coulson DIED! Why Coulson? WHYYYY!....and imagine my confusion when they announced that they would make a TV show called "Agents of SHIELD", and I saw him walking and talking. I'm really interested into finding out how he survived, and of course, to find out if the show it worth watching at all. I hope to see many other super-heroes that haven't gone onto the big screen .

  So that's my night sorted, I'll blog my views on both programs tomorrow, or later if your good. Also in Pokemon X/Y related news, we only have two weeks left people until we get to play it. Make sure you have your copy pre-ordered!

  So until next time, true believers
