Come pick your poison, let all the noise in...

Its incredibly hard to wake up early again after all the half term lie ins. There's not much to report today, just a usual monday which I've moaned about before so I might as well talk about something else...
So how about my fave tv shows, since I spend a lot of my evenings in between homework and revision rewatching my DVD's of these brilliant shows despite pretty much knowing all the lines.

First up there's The Vampire Diaries. Those who may have only seen a few episodes or only an advert for this show may just assume its another Twilight (eurghhh my hatred for that saga). But I can promise you that although this show may have appeared shortly after the "success" (yes I used inverted commas there..) of said film, The Vampire Diaries has so many differences. The characters in this programme actually have personalities that stand out, the supernaturals are more believable and have restrictions and powers that tie in with folk lore e.g having to be invited in order to enter houses, being able to control minds, able to die by being staked or burning in sunlight, werewolves only able to turn on full moon etc and the supporting characters all play important roles and have their own storylines instead of being shoved to the back. As much as it is a love triangle, Vampire Diaries is about the town of Mystic Falls, its past and present and the consequences of the supernatural world colliding with our own. Seriously love this show, and as each episode progresses the storyline moves along at a fast pace so its looking like the season finale in a few weeks time will be epic.

Next there's Merlin, a show one of my friends got me into about Camelot and arthurian legend. I love this show because it can easily switch between comedic moments, battle scenes, romance, magic and I've always been a sucker for myths and legends anyways. The series have been improving each time, so I'm looking forwards to series four, sadly I'm going to have to wait till autumn for it to be broadcast :(

Doctor Who is another one of my regular viewings. I've been watching this show since I was about nine or ten years old since its revival and I honestly think it is amazing, because with this programme there are no limits, it can go anywhere, anyplace, anytime and you can never quite know whats going to happen next. The Doctor is such an interesting character, you're always intrigued by him and never do you know all his secrets.

Finally to finish there's Being Human, another supernatural programme, this time a comedy/drama. Some of the scripts are brilliant for this show, the storylines unique and the actors perfect, although sometimes I can dislike certain episodes because they can go overthetop or leave something to be desired. Overall though, I'm quite interested to know where the third series will end up.
