That’s a frightening thought but the result is a fantastic video. So what would Game of Thrones look like (and sound like) if it was done in typical Disney fashion? In this video, Daenerys and Ser Jorah have a duet in the classic Disney princess style.
George R. R. Martin would be spinning in his grave at the thought of this. Wait, he’s still alive? How bloody long is he planning to take to write the last two books?
As a geek blogger, it kind of goes without saying that I’m a huge fan of the NBC sitcom Community. While, this season hasn’t grabbed me in the same was as past years, it’s still a damn good series. So good, in fact, that PBS has taken notice of it. The question of life, the universe and everything: Is Community a great postmodern TV show?
By the way, Community is on tonight at 8:00 PM on NBC.
One of the things that Mass Effect was praised for was streamlining the traditional RPG conversation options by condensing full sentences down to a short phrase in its dialogue wheel. However, what was on the wheel didn’t always marry up with what Shepard said. That’s been the case on games that have borrowed the dialogue wheel concept for their dialogue.
So what would happen if you had your own dialogue wheel? Chances are it wouldn’t end well.
Last week, Conan took his show to TBS’s home town of Atlanta, Georgia. Not only is Atlanta home to the Turner media empire, including TBS, TNT and the former WCW, but several TV shows are filmed in Atlanta. One paid a visit to Conan’s set and it just happened to be the most popular show on cable.
No, I’m not going to stop giving The Walking Dead shit over an utterly confusing and dissatisfying finale to the third season. It’s all well and good that you do something different from the comic but it has to be a quality product put on screen. Being different doesn’t make a show good. Being good makes a show good.
And that brings me to this week’s reminder to watch Game of Thrones. It’s my favourite show on TV right now. It should be yours too.
The second half of Series 7 of Doctor Who begins this weekend too. We’re six episodes into the fourteen episode season (if you include the Christmas Special) which means we have a fair bit of time left to figure out what the deal is with The Doctor’s new companion, Clara Oswald.
Here’s the official launch trailer. The show is back tomorrow (Saturday, March 30th) in the UK, Canada and the US.
Game of Thrones returns on Sunday for Season 3. Unfortunately, HBO has put the first showing of the season premiere against the season finale of The Walking Dead. Assuming that three weeks of nothing happening hasn’t turned people off of TWD, you can always catch the 10:00 PM and 11:00 PM showings.
In case, for some strange reason, you missed Season 2 of Game of Thrones, you can catch up on the show with this short recap video.
Pokemon Snap always struck me as an oddity in the Pokemon gaming series. While the Game Boy games were about travelling though Kanto (and subsequently added regions), catching Pokemon and being the very best (like no one ever was), Pokemon Snap was about you as a photographer. Not quite as glamorous and exciting.
That doesn’t mean that the Snap concept is unsalvageable. The team over at GrittyReboots have given Pokemon Snap a remake for this movie trailer.
You know what? I’m already sick of those 1995 style intros for TV dramas. One was unique but I’m already tired of it and only a couple more have popped up since that first one for The Walking Dead.
However, UnusualSuspect2011 has a pretty good and, thankfully, unique take on the stylized TV intro. He did an intro mashup of Marvel’s The Avengers with the classic Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers intro. It even has Coulson! How can you not like that?
I have to give PBS’ Off Book credit. They’re putting out some pretty good short documentaries about web culture. It sure shakes the stereotypical image of PBS of kids shows, imported British programming and fundraising drives.
This time out, Off Book looks at the rise of the web comic.
