Supernatural "As Time Goes By" Review

Finally a breath of fresh air.

Last Resort (Season 1/Final Season)

Show: Last Resort

Season: 1

Episodes: 13

Created By: Karl Gajdusek and Shawn Ryan

Released: 2012-2013

Rating: 3/5
-----------------------------------------------

Strong Beginning and Strong End
The beginning and ending of this season were the strongest parts. The pilot episode drew you in and made you care for the characters. The ending was good closure and one of the better episodes of this season. While you can debate whether what happened between them is good or bad, I have to say the pilot and ending episodes were a strong point.

Some Subplots Were Noticeably Shortened
By the finale you could tell some things were meant to go on longer. The biggest one for me, at least, was what happened to Sam Kendal's wife. We were left on a cliffhanger in one episode and suddenly it's quickly resolved in the finale. Trust me, I loved seeing it resolved in time but it happened way too quickly. I won't say what happened, but its resolution was much too simple for my liking.

Robert Patrick
Many know I am a big Terminator fan. So when I saw the T-1000 himself (my favorite Terminator model) I got very happy. Luckily enough Joseph Prosser (the character Patrick plays) was a joy to follow too. While Patrick is much older than he was in Terminator 2: Judgment Day, he still looks a lot like his younger self. So he isn't that hard to spot. I am going to miss tuning in every week to Last Resort to check up on how the T-1000 is doing.

Final Thoughts
This show was good in its one season run. However, I have to agree with others in that it doesn't seem like the concept was made for the long term. So it is both good and bad that the show got cancelled after its first season. While it was a joy tuning in each week I had started to grow bored with it, and it wasn't until the last episode that I got really excited for next week's episode...which is never going to come. Before I end this I must thank Michael L. Keller for getting me into this wonderful but short lived series.

Pretty Little Liars "Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Inferno" Review

What was Toby thinking wearing something like that?

Ice (2012)

I go with revrezner and some other friends to ICE.

Update: blip.tv Problems

As you know, I use the site blip.tv to upload my videos. And I haven't had too much trouble with it in the past. I enjoyed using the service and have liked it better than YouTube for uploading. However, I am extremely pissed off at the site today.

Yesterday I found out I now have a daily limit with uploading to the site due to me not producing high enough content. It turns out now I can only upload three videos to the site a day. It was annoying finding that out but I quickly got over it.

So I waited until after midnight to upload a video. So today when I woke up I planned to also upload my ICE! vlog. However, I got the error message that said I had already uploaded my maximum three videos of today.

Hey, no biggie. Just contact the blip.tv help services and things would be okay? Nope. Instead they say my limit is three because of the reasons I already knew. They didn't address the fact that I was only able to upload one video today.

So I am extremely pissed off at the site. The 'help' I received from the site is the only reason I am still angry

UPDATE
After posting this I checked and I'm able to upload a new video. Keep up on my TWITTER to see any other updates.
