Warning! Danger, Will Robinson! Here be SPOILERS for Sherlock series 2 episode 3! It was always going to come. Steve Thompson gives us a reworking of a cult classic. ‘The Final Problem’, the short story in which we are told, by Watson, that his friend Sherlock Holmes is dead, was always going to be a milestone in the updated series. Like the story of the Titanic, everyone knows the facts of the

Warning! Danger, Will Robinson! Here be SPOILERS for Sherlock series 2 episode 2! What’s the difference between a reboot and a remake, a re-imagining and a retelling? Star Trek (2009) gave us a clear reboot. Battlestar Galactica (2003, etc.) gave us a re-imagining. Life on Mars (UK, 2006) was the victim of a remake in 2008 as it went across the pond and ended up getting only one series in the

Warning! Danger, Will Robinson! Here be SPOILERS for Sherlock series 2 episode 1! 
It’s about time I weighed in on this. Apparently, opinion has been divided re: the latest three instalments of the good consultant detective Mr Sherlock Holmes and to be honest, I’m a little annoyed by the wailing and gnashing of teeth that’s going on due to the last act. But more on that later. First we have: A

 Apparently I am quite the waste of space. Knowing I have two years left before my opportunity for applying for my permanent residency comes up, I had the fanciful idea that once I obtained it, I would get a job that didn’t entail teaching. This sounded great - until I remembered that I’m not qualified for anything (save teaching, and that’s only to learners of it as a foreign language) and I

I've been away for a while, and I still live 5,000 miles away. But I'm in favour of the strikes. Bite me. Pensions stuff. One more reason why I don't live in the UK any more.

Went fishing today. This is important because, (1), I’ve never actually been fishing before, and (2), I’ve never been out to sea on a small boat. When I say ‘out to sea’, I mean we got on a boat and went 90 mins out from Port Canaveral, Florida. A bit choppy on the way out, we began wreck fishing and I got a crash course in trying to stand upright whilst not dropping an expensive rod over the

Thank you Chicago, for getting me through Passport Control in a record 55 minutes! That’s the fastest landfall I’ve ever made in the States. Thanks also to the pilot of the Cathay flight, who got us from Hong Kong to Chicago 90 minutes ahead of schedule. Yes, you read that right. Jet streams, apparently. This means I made my connecting flight and have arrived safely in Orlando. The villa is ace,

Hands up all those who were really really nervous about Starz Network paying for this series of Torchwood? I must admit, I was a bit sceptical. And then I saw the opening episode. True, it was more of an introduction to the concept of Torchwood than an actual full-on episode, and it

Apart from the nasty business of having to attend a funeral, the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it trip to Blighty wasn’t all bad. Leeching wi-fi at sisters’ houses, watching Sky telly and finding it’s not all shite, beautiful blue skies and warm sun (sun! Real sun!), and a relaxed atmosphere. Bloody marvellous. In fact, this was one time I actually didn’t want to go home just yet. Unexpected breaks and

Warning! Danger, Will Robinson!Here be SPOILERS! Before you even start with me, stop. Yes, I was warned this movie was ‘crap’, ‘silly’ and ‘a waste of money’. But seeing as I like cowboys, and I like aliens, and I dislike people telling me what I do and don’t like, I went to see it anyway. And so, dear reader, here is my official write-up.

You go to the pub quiz, quite comfortable in the knowledge that you will probably know less than 50% of the answers, and in fact, you’re half right - your team knows 50% of the answers. Seeing as our team came to a grand total of 2, I think you’ll agree. Now, when we do a music round, it goes summat like this: If you don’t know a male singer, write down ‘Kenny Loggins’.

You know when you’re in the middle of writing a book and it’s not writing itself? Ideas dry up and you think: ‘ah bugger, guess I’ll have to leave it a week?’ Well it’s happened to me about three weeks in a row. Never one to give up writing for longer than a shift at work, I went to something else I’d started but put down in favour of said book. And, ineluctably, here we are: another

Something happened today that reminded me of a similar incident a while back. The first one went something like this: I go to see a mate at her place, get in the lift, and then realise someone’s behind me. I keep the doors open and an elderly Hong Kong gentleman shuffles in. Conversation (in Cantonese): Man: Thank you for waiting for me. Me: No trouble. Man: 18th floor, please. Me: 18th? Done. [

Well, you can. Of course you can. But it’s never the same. I got on a plane and came back to Blighty for a bit - birthdays of relatives, break from the routine, the whole job-lot - and while everything’s the same, it isn’t. Cornwall. Never been to Cornwall before. Went yesterday and stayed over. It was alright. A lot of fun on the road trip to get there - and the associated places of interest,

A second bloke comes up to him in a boat and he says: ‘Do you need help?’ And the bloke goes: ‘No, it’s ok, God will save me’.

I should have learnt my lesson. Although, to be fair, they haven’t been half as annoying this time as they were the first. I wanted a new TV table. Yeah. New year and the fact that the old looks like a Disney drawer with its arse hanging out made me get my own arse into gear and down to the furniture shop.

Ok, not really a straight versus, more of a working together. Kind of. Yes, it’s another fic. I know, it’s another Doctor Who fic, but this is my first (and only) Sherlock (2010) fic - if you don’t count the one I did for Jeremy Brett when I was about nine years old.

 Sometimes I amaze even myself. I know, that sounds either (1) arrogant or (2) not hard to do. It’s probably both, except I’m on about how spectacularly dim I’ve been.

“Poor devil!” [Stamford] said, commiseratingly, after he had listened to my Afghan War misfortunes. “What are you up to now?” “Looking for lodgings,” I answered. “Trying to solve the problem as to whether it is possible to get comfortable rooms at a reasonable price.” “That’s a strange thing,” remarked my companion; “you are the second man to-day that has used that expression to me.” “And who was

Yes, it’s about time I went off on one regarding Matt Smith and Doctor bloody Who in general. As you’re probably aware, I thought Five was my Doctor (blame my childhood) until David Tennant came along. I kind of like Christopher Eccleston, but seeing as he’s my uncle in disguise, I can’t watch him without waiting for him to say ‘Aliens? What a load of bollocks’, etc. Kind of like watching Sean

I do really enjoy our lessons together, partly because she’s a grown-up and therefore we can discuss grown-up topics, but also because she’s a typical dirty housewife and we talk about ‘adult themes’.Last week I mentioned the game Marry, Shag or Cliff. This week, she decided she wanted to know how to play. Cue five minutes of

Yes, I’ve been busy. No, I can’t tell you what I’ve been up to. Well, I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you. Etc.No, actually? I’ve done some more Supernatural season six headlines. For those of you just tuning in, they replace the old LOLcaps from season five. Sheerly because the LOLcaps took five hours per episode and the format is now wearing a little thin.Behold, as I present the

So in between watching The Walking Dead’ (good!), gratuitous amounts of Corrie (Jaaaaaack!) and basically writing about 3,000 words a day on various fanfiction and original fiction (It’s mine! And you can’t have it! At least, not till someone decides to sign me on to get it published…) projects, I managed to join another fanfic archive. Mainly because FF.net keeps trashing my old Doctor bloody

Apparently, according to my group of Form 2 students who attend various Hong Kong secondary schools, only people in big hats are in charge. They cite the Pope, chefs in any swanky kitchen, ‘that bloke who got shot in America’ (A.K.A. Abraham Lincoln), and, of course, the Fat Controller from Thomas The Tank Engine and Friends.Also, from a particularly pants-wettingly funny crack!lesson* including

With the LOLCAPs taking me close to 5 hours for each episode, and me having something of a need to go to work at times, it’s proving impossible to produce them for season 6 of Supernatural. However, I cannot let this new season go by without some kind of comment from me. And so, dear reader, SPN TONIGHT: NEWS HEADLINES - you can has it! Obligatory warnings:1. It’s SPOILERY!

There is a reason I haven’t been here in ages, honest. First there was the whole jetlag thing, which as usual, I don’t believe in until I realise that I’ve been walking around for three days as if I’m just visiting from a different planet. Now, normally, this would not be anything out of the ordinary, but for some reason this time I just felt really detached from everything going on around

Yes, I’m back from Dragon*Con. What can I say, except it’s changed my conventioning life. Creation, you suck. Dragon*Con, you are king. I wish my flights had been direct and the pool had been open more at the motel, but hey, you can’t have everything. Suffice to say, the convention was bloody fantastic, and I can’t wait until next year! All I have to do is find a costume this time… So here we go:

Has it really been so long since the last time I made a blog post? Ok, maybe it has. I could try to make some excuse as to why I’ve not written owt on this blog for what seems like a hundred fucking years, but it would probably seem like some kind of cop-out.

Went jonesing for a nine inch notebook to use for Operation Hackintosh in Wan Chai computer centre this evening; we were disappointed. Just means I’ll have to get a MSI Wind thing from somewhere else and still have it up and running before I head off to Dragon*Con in about five weeks: BAD TIMES.

Bloody hell, I’ve not been here in ages! There are actually several contributing factors to this sad state of affairs, not least of all the fact that I’ve been trying to write a book. There has also been Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, The A Team, Burn Notice, Supernatural fan fiction, work (in the shape of private students) and of course that old chestnut, sheer plain old laziness. All I can

So I’m writing a book (don’t laugh! I really am!) and it dawned on as I was walking to work the other day (while listening to music on shuffle on iPhone Dax) that some songs kind of lend themselves to the whole thing really well. So I made a playlist using my trusty iTunes and have played it a few times to get myself ready to do battle with a keyboard.Here, without further ado, is a link to said

Evenin’ all. The reason I’ve not been here so often of late is cos I’ve been busy. Normally that means arsing around, generally being pisht or otherwise incapable of writing owt down. However, recently this has been down to three major loves of my life: going to the pictures, drinking, and trying to finish writing a book. No really. Don’t laugh.

Bloody hell, this took ages. First I had two weeks with no day off at work, which meant I couldn’t even re-watch the damn episode for about a week (probably a good thing). Then I had a book to write (still going on that one), and then the longer it went not done, the less I wanted to do it.But then I heard The Song on the recap at the start of the episode and I knew what I had to do…So, for the

Phew! If I said I weren’t in need of a neck and back massage right now I’d be a lying liar who lies - this LOLcap of Supernatural 5x15 is not only entirely spoilery but also 144 caps!So you know the drill:1. It’s a LOLcap, like the others I’ve done.2. None of the people, characters, plots or owt belong to me. It’s all The God Who Is Eric Kripke’s, baby.3. This episode contained GORE (YAY!), and

So we’ve went to go and see The Hurt Locker last night. I have to say it was so much better than Shutter Island. There were a lot of reasons for this - first and foremost would be the idea that it was compelling. Next would be that I actually cared about the characters.I was not at all put off by the gore, and the film was fascinating to watch. There were a few minutes where I felt I knew how

So we’ve gone to see the new Leonardo DiCaprio movie last night. In the grand tradition that I started on this blog way back in the mists of time, I shall attempt to sum the entire film up in three words.MisplacedFirst of all let’s talk about music. Big blaring horns that sound like something that’s been stolen from The Shining do not a creepy atmosphere make. I found it actually quite funny in

It’s been busy, I’ll not deny that. Working and doing extra students after work kind of takes up all your free time. Then there’s New Colleague at work who turns out to be as much of an alcohol monster as I am, so there was the double whammy footie on Saturday night down the Winchester - which ended up with a rather hammered taxi home. And then the Sunday night quiz that we won. Which was nice.

So it’s Chinese New Year on Sunday, and a while ago I thought about a story I could write for the ‘Supernatural’ universe. Yes, it involves tigers. Yes, it involves The Boys in undercrackers. That’s just how I roll: Title: “On Rubbing Lucky Cats”Rating: Rated T for language. And gratuitous pussy-stroking.Summary:It’s a special day and The Boys don’t even know it.

… in so many ways. I’m still watching Supernatural, still laughing my arse off and at times, swallowing nasty lumps in my throat. But it’s ok, they shift with the right amount of vodka.
And I’m still doing picture recaps for the episodes. Oh ok, when I say ‘still’, I mean this is the third one I’ve done. It’s a monster! Twice as long as the first one!So here is this week's VERY VERY SPOILERY

It was just a comment - just an observation. So why did it completely fuck me off? I shrugged it off at the time with a barbed response designed to injure the speaker as much as I had been. But somehow, they didn’t seem the least bit bothered.
And this morning when I wake up, it’s stuck with me. I mean, I understand the whole Garak thing about winning over someone who beats you to a pulp, not

Yes, everyone else is doing their blogging and networking site thing about this week’s Supernatural episode, and yes, I normally go on about it. But last week I did my own recap of episode 5x11, and I was kind of asked to do another one for this week’s episode.So I did.Here be a VERY VERY SPOILERY recap entirely in sarky pictures.

After I said I wasn’t doing any more picture 'stories', I did. This one is not a snarky recap of Supernatural 5x11 but a little Doctor-on-astronut action.See, I like Doctor bloody Who, but I also like Farscape. Which one’s better….?

Yay! We finally got a new episode of Supernatural! It was ace, I loved it for many different reasons, and then I thought ‘Everyone and their brother is doing their reviews of it - so I’ll do something a little different...’
What that translates to is a VERY VERY SPOILERY recap entirely in sarky pictures, over at my sister-ship on LJ.

This has to be a first for me. I am sitting in Michael, my most comfortable of chairs, playing with a Heineken rugby ball that I won in some poxy pub quiz about two years ago, dictating to Jarvis my iMac via a headset and microphone.The entirety of this blog post will be made with MacSpeech Dictate. The scary thing is, it’s almost as if a real someone is listening to me and writing down my crap.

Aaron Kwok, wewungwung and the Pang Brothers. Sold.Bought tickets, got to the cinema, fucking loved it. It has without doubt the most epicly beautiful scenes of wewungwung ever filmed.It’s not the same as the first one - Storm Riders (and the name change for number two comes due to some argument over the rights to the title, I believe). It’s bigger, bolder, brasher, and of course, has more CGI.

Looooong week. Mostly working. Some other stuff. No films (boo!), a lot of work (boo!), some ‘Farscape’ (yay!), no ‘Supernatural’ (boo!), some eating and sleeping and stuff. Arsed about on Twitter way too much. Made some Farscape motivators (and posted the rest on my sister-ship):Good news: Not long to Farscape DVD release, and Supernatural returns next week after its one-week AWOL from the CW.
