Hey Babe

RENO 911! Coming next week!! ;)

Stargate SG-1

It's finally here! The Stargate SG-1 post has arrived.

 Let's begin as we always do with a quick history lesson about the show.

The original SG Team

      Based off of the 1994 Stargate film, the ten season series (which ran longer than the X-Files), centers around a military team that uses a device known as a "Stargate" to travel from one planet to another all across the galaxy. The missions of the SG teams are unknown to the Earth population. The team is led by the hysterical, manly and sexy Colonel Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson), then there is his number two, Major Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping). Sam is a scientist by nature but also a skilled military expert as well as the love interest for Colonel O'Neill. Teal'c (Christopher Judge) is the reformed Jaffa, one of the Goa'uld's protectors. He joins the SG team in order to gain freedom not only for himself but for his people. The final member (of the original team) is Dr. Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks). Daniel is the brilliant Egyptologist who is constantly marveled by the wonders that space has to offer.

Vala and Daniel

The Team later adds and subtracts characters. O'Neill leaves after season 8 and Lieutenant Colonel Cameron Mitchell becomes the new leader of the SG team. Seasons 8-10 also introduce use to the wise cracking and flirty Vala Mal Doran (Claudia Black). Vala and Daniel have a thing ;)

The show ran from 1997 to 2007 and was a hit across the globe. Since the end of the series Scifi conventions have been a great way for the show to live on. Not to mention the two films that were released.

Teal'c

Two spinoffs were created, the exciting Stargate Atlantis and the "not even close to the original" Stargate Universe.

Atlantis was a hit, needless to say, Universe was not.


The series is one of the best for anyone who loves Scifi, actions, comedy and a bit of romance. It's funny really, I would rank this show as one of my top five favorite television shows, but it is so difficult to write about. It's silly but there are so many amazing qualities about this show that I can hardly put them into words.

It you are new to Scifi, then this is the show for you. You will get just the right amount of Scifi to understand what is happening and not too much to become overwhelmed. It is an amazing show and I would recommend it to any and everyone!

Please Please Please take a chance on Stargate SG-1, I promise you won't be sorry! :)

P.S. Tea'c says "indeed" A LOT! Here is a funny video compilation

Psych

At last the long awaited Psych blog post! I know i've been MIA for a while, school and work have really kept me busy lately, but i'm back and ready to blog you till kingdom come! So let's get to it :)

Psych is an amazing hour long Detective sitcom (now on its 6th season) about a man named Shawn Spencer and his best friend/sidekick Burton "Gus" Guster and their work as crime consultants for the Santa Barbara Police Department. Shawn uses his observation abilities, taught to him by his Dad (Henry Spencer, a former detective), in order to convince everyone that his is a psychic detective.

The show is very well written and perfectly cast. It is great for people of all ages. Adults and children will be able to watch. The plots and the script are suitable for kids and intelligent enough for adults to enjoy.

The show is really funny and has great detective "who done it" plots. Shawn and Gus are hysterical together, and they are rather attractive if I may say so! Below are a trailer and clip for the show and links to where you can view.

We Will Fight War...With The Army of PEACE!

           Hey everyone, I know that this week (seeing as I missed last week) was supposed to be about Psych. Well it's not. I know that there has been a lot of talk about the Kony2012 video and mission that recently went viral and I would like to say that regardless of whether or not you believe in this specific mission, helping humans in need is a fundamental part of being human. Whatever the cause may be, if your participation will allow even one human to be free, then it is the right thing to do.

Over the years, I have learned a lot about the plight in other countries, and spoken with those who have overcome these devastating events. Wouldn't you want your voice to be heard if you were the one in need?

I know this isn't the post that you were expecting, but I feel very strongly about these issues and I think that the Kony2012 movement has allowed people to realize that one person can change everything. And that one million people can change the world.

Below are websites to some organizations that I have advocated for years and some that I have recently discovered and hope to share the information with as many people as possible.

People need to know what is going on in the world. Hunger, sex trafficking, abduction, murder, torture, rape. These are atrocities against Humanity, and they can be STOPPED.

Please consider donating or raising awareness. One of the biggest problems is that no one knows about these issues. What if it was your child? What if it was you?

Downton Abbey

         Downton Abbey is a period drama centering around the Aristocratic Crawely Family. Created by Julian Fellows, Downton Abbey has become one of the most critically acclaimed series's on television. The show is featured in America on PBS and is part of the Masterpiece Collection. 

The show follows the lives of the aristocrats and the servants who run Downton.

With the conclusion of the second season, Downton Abbey has become even more popular than ever. People are dying to find out what will happen next. There are only a few episodes per season due to the production quality that goes into each episode. The show is truly filmed as though it is the most high budgeted film that I have ever viewed. It is clear that all who are involved with this series are dedicated to it 100%, and that price is no issue.

This wouldn't be a worthy review without mentioning the costumes! They are extraordinary! The first season was set during 1912 and the second ended with the ringing of the bells for the new year of 1920. As you can imagine, the costumes are enchanting and it is such a treat for the viewer to be able to see the transformation of dress.

Mary and Matthew

But the real pull of Downton Abbey is the story. With such an established cast, there is never a lack of a story line. Mary and Matthew, Bates and Anna, Downton's new heir, World War I, The Titanic, Death, Lust, Duty, the evil O'Brian and her partner in crime Thomas the footman. The list could go on forever (and I hope it does). The show is perfect for all ages and all people. If you have ever has an interest in period pieces, then you are in luck because they have created a television series just for you! This series is without a doubt one of the best shows on television, and I urge you to take a chance on Downton Abbey. Watch an episode or two and soon you will be going mad with anticipation for the next season like the rest of us Downton followers.

Mr. Bates and Anna

I will leave you with a few video clips... Enjoy!

Oh yeah, did I mention that Dame Maggie Smith is in this show...... because she flipping is!! And she has the funniest lines!
