I didn't have high hopes for this one. But it turned out to be pretty good. It puts a new spin on the Greek myths and makes you wonder at what might be happening here since some are told true to legend and others are not. If you were a fan of Xena and Hercules then this show should be right up your alley.

Sam & Cat

Sam & Cat is an American teen sitcom that premiered June 8, 2013, on Nickelodeon. It is a crossover spin-off/sequel of both iCarly and Victorious. It stars Jennette McCurdy as Sam Puckett (from iCarly) and Ariana Grande as Cat Valentine (from Victorious).

Sam Puckett (Jennette McCurdy) has been touring the West Coast by motorcycle, and stops in Los Angeles. She witnesses Cat Valentine (Ariana Grande) being thrown into the back of a garbage truck, and rescues her. They become friends, and Cat convinces her to become roommates after Cat's grandmother moves to a retirement home. To make money, rather than getting traditional after-school jobs, they form an after-school babysitting business that leads them into a series of comical adventures. Also involved in their lives are Dice (Cameron Ocasio), their next door neighbor, who is notorious for aiding people for money, Cat's cheerful and supportive grandmother, Nona (Maree Cheatham), who decided to move into "Elderly Acres", which is a home for the aged, and Goomer (Zoran Korach), a dim-witted professional MMA fighter whom Dice manages.

Another Teen Comedy that fits the formula that most of these shows have. So of course I love it. These two play well off each other. Hoping for some visits from their past shows.

One of the best shows out there. Period. Yes it has cheesy effects and ridiculous monsters. But it also has some of the scariest villains you'll ever have nightmares about. The best supporting cast, great storylines. And a doctor that gets reinvented every few years and still somehow manages to make you fall in love with him. If you are a fan of fantasy/psyfi and you are not watching this show then you need to get yourself checked out.

Doctor Who - 241 - The Time of the Doctor

A synopsis released on the BBC website read: "Orbiting a quiet backwater planet, the massed forces of the universe's deadliest species gather, drawn to a mysterious message that echoes out to the stars. Amongst them, the Doctor. Rescuing Clara from a family Christmas dinner, the Time Lord and his best friend must learn what this enigmatic signal means for his own fate and that of the universe."
As revealed in the first trailer, Tasha Lem, someone from the Doctor's past, stands with what looks like the Church and proclaims "The Siege of Trenzalore is now begun!" This refers to the prophecy, said by the character Dorium Maldovar, stating that on the fields of Trenzalore at the fall of the Eleventh, the Silence will fall when the oldest question in the universe, "Doctor who?", is asked.
