THE END HAS COME, well sort

OK it is not really the end of anything major, just the end of Season 5 of The Shield. Will it be back for another season? Well I certainly hope so. For everyone reading this I am going to say some things that are spoilers for the season, so stop reading because I am not taking the time to hide the test ( I just feel lazy this time)

So My only big regret for this show is that the seasons seem to get shorter and shorter. Only 11 episodes this year. Down from the 13 last year and 15 from the year before that. So why so short? I don’t really know. Cost, people involved with other productions? Who knows? Anyway I would give this season two thumbs up. I would say that it was edgier than the previous seasons. OK more vulgar to some of you, but that sets it apart from those “safe” kiddy shows the FCC and religious organizations want us watching (another topic to be dealt with at a later time). So for those of you who watched the show you may be crying in your beer right now and wondering why they had to kill off Lem. Well I liked the guy, but I felt like he was holding the strike force back from really getting down and dirty. He was the voice of reason and compassion. Now I know Vic showed compassion too, but that was only when it suited his needs. Lem on the other hand was always good. He wanted to help the needy and wanted to think twice about ripping off the drug dealers. I would also have to say that if they didn’t kill Lem off that would be the end of the show. Basically there were only two ways out of the season. The way that they did, which kept the only possible leak about the strike force quite, allows them continue. If they had allowed Lem to live he would have eventually turned himself in and by one way or another brought the whole strike force down with him. One other thing I liked was what happened to Dutch boy in this season. We see him becoming more enveloped with the criminal mind. And I am not saying understanding it, but becoming interested in it and starting to move to the dark side. Who knows maybe he will become the fourth member of the strike force for the next season. I mean his former partner is now the chief and he hates his current partner. I can see Claudette giving Dutch boy the option of either sticking with Billings or moving to the strike force. What I think would be an even more interesting twist on this would be dutch boy taking the place of Vic as being the most corrupt cop. Well enough of me suggesting plots.

So where else do they go from here? Well I can see Kavanaugh becoming a man who looses his job because he is obsessed with getting the strike force, and more focused on Vic than any thing else in his life. I don’t think we see him in a predominant role in the next season, but I do see his face popping up once and a while. I can see the season finale coming down to Vic or Kavanaugh actually kill the other. Other than that who knows where they go with this.

Well that is all for me. Oh and I will be starting a comic review every couple of weeks leading up to the Comic con in Chicago. Might as well try something new and exciting right.

OK so I finally posted again

OK so I am finally going to post again. Everyone has been waiting to hear the word from da man, that’s me. OK so first off got give a shout out to my man the Patch, Paul. He has stepped up to the plate and is taking a crack at the whole marriage thing. Well I gotta say congrats to him and his future wife Thea. I am enjoying my marriage more and more every day and only hope that theirs will be as much fun.

Secondly gotta give the fat man some props also He got us some tickets to the TNA house show last week, as you may know from reading my last post. Anyway, the show was great. I enjoyed everything, well almost everything. To take a word from the great Double J, Jeff Jarrett to all you wrestling illiterate, I could have done without those ICP slapnuts. I know that there label is producing or sponsoring or whatever TNA, but I just don’t really like them. Never really jumped on their music career and their wrestling careers have been lack luster as well. I will say that I did enjoy the time that Shaggy got dropped off the top of a bus while in the WCW. That was enjoyable. Anyway the rest of the show was great and I really enjoyed being a part of history.

Now you may be asking what part of history was I part of. Well this was the first house show for TNA. Again for the wrestling illiterate a house show is a wrestling event that is not broadcast on TV. It is simply meant to draw fans in from different parts of the nation to enjoy the wrestling. I enjoyed the show and the wrestlers really had a good time also. Hopefully TNA continues to grow and make the WWE pick up their game a little. I am just tired of all the lame stories, but you already know this so there is no need to go into it.

Until next time folk.

Ready for some wrestling

So not much really happening with me right now. We are visiting some relatives that went through surgery this weekend. They are both doing fine. Other than that my life is staying on track. Next weekend I am heading to a wrestling event with the guys. Going to watch some TNA. Yeah I know it is not the WWE, but then again the WWE isn’t that hot right now either. I mean what happened to the good old days when wrestlers hated each other just to hate each other. I just loved the day when the story was simply I don’t like you so I am going to kick you butt. Now they need to have an in depth plot and people (wrestlers) need to have monologues that last for 15 minutes. I don’t necessarily think this is a bad thing, but the stories and the ideas they come up with are usually horrible. I know they are trying to play to the young teenage crowd boys and to single men who have no lives. But come the womens wrestling has turned from being something fun and actually worth watching to crap. They are just turning it into p softcore pornography. I can rent videos specifically made for that. I want to watch womans wrestling where they actually grapple or do wrestling moves. I also want to complain, while I am on a roll, about the gimmick matches. Now some of them are great and I wouldn’t change a thing, but bra and panty matches, pillow fights. Those just detract from the art of wrestling. Well I think I have said enough for today. C-YA

I am a Geek

Ok I haven't posted in a while and I realize that I haven't shown my geek side. So I thought I would share some cool concept art that I found for. It combines 2 of my favorite things Transformers and Comics. This is for a proposed new book by IDW comics. I like the idea and hope it moves along nicely. Check it out. IDW Publishing-Transformers

So now for those of you who do not know my Geek side. I am happy to proclaim myself as a geek. I enjoy reading comics, Transformers, playing video games and playing Dungeon and Dragons. Now some of you may be confusing that with a nerd, but let me reassure you I am not a nerd. I may have some nerdy qualities, but I am at least 90% geek. So let me tell you the diffrence so that you can better understand me. A nerd is a person who is of above average intelligents, usually in the field of science or mathmatics, but socially inept. A geek on the other hand is not allways of above intelligents, but has one or more obsessions that are either considered chilldish or non-mainstream. Now these are my definitions. I don't agree with how some dictionaries define the two, often they have the same definition but with geek having the added side note of the circus side show.

So hopefully now you can see where I get the 90/10 split between geek and nerd. I am a chemist and enjoy sciences, but am not socially inept. At least I don't think I am. I do however love comics and transformers. These two things put me into that geek standing and to tell the truth I am not ashamed of it. So I enjoy the finer things in life. I guess people just have to deal with that.
