I’m recovering from my grueling weekend of madness. On Saturday I covered the MCM Expo (UK’s version of ComicCon) and caught up with Greg Grunberg and Brea Grant from ‘Heroes‘, Michael Hogan from ‘Battlestar Galactica‘, and also spoke to the cast and production staff for ‘Primeval‘ and new series ‘Demons’. The event was huge and even caught the attention of the police who turned up in force when they noticed the huge queue of 30,000 attendees snaking it’s way round the Excel centre in London.

On Sunday I rambled over to Wembley Stadium to check out the NFL International match between the New Orleans Saints and the San Diego Chargers…. and it was a cracker!

Keep a keen eye out as I’ll be posting my adventures at both throughout the week.

London MCM (Movie-Comic-Media) Expo is part of the MCM Expo Group organisers of events and conventions relating to Scifi, Movies, Anime, Manga, Gaming and much more.

It’s hitting the ExCeL in London (near Canary Wharf) on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th and is hosting a huuuuge array of things to see and do.
They have cast signings from Heroes and Battlestar Galactica to which are two of my fave shows!!! (I’ll def bag some signed pics to give away on the site)

Anyway I’ll be posting a monster review of my day out on Saturday…

I’d really love to go both days but I have the UK International NFL match (American Football) at Wembly to attend on Sunday (expect a monster review also)….

WHAT AN AWESOME WEEKEND I HAVE LINED UP!

So I’ve been speaking to a few bloggers in the US and it seems that they are experiencing the same influx of continuing television series as we are here in the UK.

So far my week is consisting of Work…. inter-spaced with Heroes, Prison Break, Supernatural, The Unit, Fringe, Dexter and the New Knight Rider series. So most of my evenings are either spent on social or TV.

With the upcoming release of the new season of Battlestar Galactica and the TV film 24:Redemption there’s certainly a lot to contend with.

StillIi guess this is all making up for the long and painful WGA strike.

So who lost ‘Lost’…. and while we’re on the subject….Heroes…Prison Break….the Bionic Woman…Supernatural…. the list goes on!!… I’ll tell you who bloody lost them (or at least is partially responsible). The bloody Writers Guild of America and their fecking strike….!!!

The strike is over!!!….now give me back my TV shows… damn you!!!! Reducing the selection of what we watch to House… and er…. House… and ……………House!!!!!!!

Thank god Battlestar Galactica is back on the Air!!! David Eick has come thru and delivered… and from what I heard even BSG was at risk of being canned!!!!!!!

SOooooo the writer guild were striking….*sigh*… and it’s taken god knows how long to get sorted…. damn you WGA!!!… for the sake of a payrise lets put 1000s of peoples jobs on the line and destroy other peoples livlyhood…. what a crock of sh*t!!

At least there’s good news. Lost executive producer Carlton Cuse has said his team is “ready to make episodes quickly to try to fit in five more this season”.

So unlike Heroes and Prison Break we’re probably gonna get a reasonably sized season.

So I watched the first ep of Battlestar Galactica - Season 4 over the weekend….. they certainly know how to make their fans pine for more…damn them!!! Whoever invented the phrase “to be continued……” should be shot!!!

So we’ve got 4 new cylons all aboard the Battlestar Galactica…. all of which will no doubt have different loyalties… plus Starbuck is back after being presumed dead for 2 months (though she thinks she’s been gone a few hours)… oh and Baltar now has his own cult that worship him like a prophet…..so it’s all go!!.

Let’s not forget that in BSG:Razor Kendra Jade heard the “old cylon pilot” warn that Starbuck was “the harbinger of doom for all mankind”….. I suspect this will become clear…. damnit….. i want to know now!!!
