Season 3 is coming… It’s only 2 more months until Game of Thrones returns! Weirdly enough they still haven’t released a proper trailer yet, but one is scheduled for February 24th (sort of, HBO On Demand will have the trailer on the 25th, meaning it will have debuted online at least a day before that). I’m surprised that HBO are leaving it to only a few weeks before the actual air date; it’s one of their most popular shows, wouldn’t they want to promote that a bit more? Or do they have so much faith in it that it doesn’t require any marketing?

While we’re waiting, why not enjoy these cool necklace inspired by the Game of Thrones houses? They’re from etsy store The Scottish Girl Shop and are £13.89 each. My favourite is obviously the Stark one with their Winter Is Coming motto.

Which one is your favourite?

Doctor Who meets Pulp Fiction. Awesome. It’s only available for the next five hours though on TeeFury, so get it while you can!

After yesterday’s serious post about being a geeky girl (read it here) with the promise to write about that type of stuff more, I wasn’t quite sure what post would follow next. This blog has always been a place where I’ll share the fun stuff I come across online, be they geeky or girly, and I don’t ever want to loose that angel. Yet I also didn’t want to succeed that serious post with something completely unrelated. And then I came across this video about Bronies…

These are snippets from the upcoming documentary BronyDoc about the adult fans of My Little Pony and it’s sung by John de Lancie and Tara Strong. Bear with me, and watch the video till the end and you’ll get why it is related:

I’ve never watched an episode on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic before, but I kind of think I should…

I had heard about Defiance a while ago, but this is the first proper trailer I’ve seen of it. The idea is interesting: it’s an upcoming scifi TV show on Syfy AND an upcoming MMO video game which was created alongside the TV show. I’m super excited to see how that turns out!

Here’s the first full length trailer:

I like the look of this! The acting doesn’t look fantastic, but the style and world look quite interesting. The series is set in the near future after Earth has declared ceasefire with the Votan, a collection of seven alien species seeking a new home after their solar system was destroyed. The Wikipedia page goes into more detail of the different alien species (well, 5 out of the seven at the time of writing this), each with their own unique facial/body features and even their own language (they’ve got the linguist that created the Dothraki language for Game of Thrones).

What do you think of the trailer? Something you’ll end up watching? Defiance is set to premiere on the Syfy channel on Monday April 15th.

It’s a slow, lazy Sunday for me. It’s a perfect day for catching up on TV, watching some of my favourite shows. What better way to celebrate such a day with an awesome TV show giveaway?

Babylon 5 remains my all time favourite scifi series (although Firefly comes a close second) and I’m happy to giveaway two DVDs to one lucky reader! The first one is The Gathering which is pretty much the pilot of the entire TV show, while the second one is The Lost Tales, the last/latest addition to the series (yeah, I’m still holding a tiny sliver of hope that JMS might one day continue).

To enter the giveaway, leave a comment behind with your favourite scifi story. You’ll also get a second entry if you’re following me on Twitter and tweet about this giveaway with the hashtag #missgeeky. The competition is open to everyone, but bear in mind that the DVDs are Region 2 and may not work outside of Europe. The giveaway will end on January 13th after which I’ll randomly draw a winner.

I still can’t quite believe that it’s been 10 years since Firefly aired on TV. Or that it’s been 7 years since Serenity was released in cinemas… have I made you feel old now? To cheer you up, here’s a shiny Firefly tee: The Good, The Bad and The Shiny ($24.54).

There’s also a Walking Dead one that uses the same principle: The Good, The Bad and The Hungry ($28.91).

I’m enjoying the TV version of Game of Thrones. The second season wasn’t as ah-mah-zing as the first one, but I like what they’ve done with the adaption.

With season three it’s where it becomes tricky. The third, fourth and fifth book all contain overlapping events and it’s going to be very interesting as to how they’ll translate it all to TV. Plus the third book is also being cut up into two seasons… I’ve got faith in the writers/producers that it’ll all turn out great, but am still curious to see how their version of the story will be.

HBO just released an In Production video of season 3 of Game of Thrones. It’s not that long, but it gives us a first look to some of the new characters and locations. I can’t believe we still need to wait 4 more months for this!

Have you read/watched Game of Thrones? What are you hoping for in the next season?

I feel old: it’s been more than 8 years now since the Friends final. It’s still one of my favourite TV shows though, and I’ve been wanting to get a boxset of the entire series for a while now. Well, now it might be finally time to invest in one: it’s being completely released on Blu-ray in one big awesome boxset!

Thanks to Warner Bros I’ve been given a Limited Edition Friends prize pack to giveaway to one lucky reader! The winner will get:

• Two oversized cappuccino mugs
• A picture frame just like the one on Monica’s door

How awesome is that? All you have to do is leave a comment behind with your favourite Friends moment. It’s only open to US residents and entries must be in before November 27th 17:00. The winner will be contacted via email on the 28th.

I went on holiday and I saw: a Weeping Angel, a sonic screwdriver and a dalek. This t-shirt design from Don’t Blink Tees (Doctor Who tees FTW) is awesome:

You can get it for $20 on a standard t-shirt or for $24 on an American Apparel fitted t-shirt.

Yesterday during the Children In Need live broadcast a short prequel to the Doctor Who Christmas special was shown. It looks great:

And there’s a brand new trailer:

I’m still very curious to see how Jenna-Louise Coleman will fit in to all this. She and Matt Smith are saying that she isn’t the same character, but somehow that only makes me think that she is. But how? The other guess for now is that she’s an ancestor of Oswin, but somehow that seems to be too simple an explanation. I’m hoping it’s a bit more mysterious than that. What do you think? Any theories?
