Choices – Choices – Choices

Monday brings us a lot of choices in life.  It’s the first day of the work week and it starts the ‘feel’ and groove of the new week.  It’s another week to start over and fresh.  It’s also a great night for television which leads us to choices – choices and more choices.  And tonight, we have a dilemma at the Hotel Thompson.

Choice A – 

Being Human airs on the SyFy channel.  Great show. This show is going on the fourth season and we’ve watched every episode.  It’s good.  There’s Aidan Waite (a vampire), Sally Malik (a ghost), Josh Levison and Nora Sergeant (werewolves).  They all live together and their lives have all intertwined with each other through friendship and surviving their individual ‘characteristics’ that they bring to the show.  Season 3 ended with a blast in the title “Ruh Roh”.  We have a loose end, Kenny, that can still come back.  Liam is gone – so there goes the pure breeds.  Sally is now in what should we say – purgatory – with Donna.  Josh is again a wolf but there’s some connection to Donna.  And, in the last shot of this episode, we see someone that looks like Suzanna (Aidan’s wife) appearing on screen.  WTP (What the pig)!?  Exciting – totally exciting this fourth season is going to be.

Choice B –

Sleepy Hollow airs on the Fox network tonight. This is the first season for this show and tonight is the season finale – two hours.  Hopefully tonight will tie up some loose ends.  What happened to Ichabob’s son? How does Abbie play into everything?  The show is actually broken into two shows – hour one is titled The Indispensable Man and hour two is titled Bad Blood.  Sacrifices are made and loyalties are tested – that’s what I’m reading about that should happen.  How in the world could we miss this??

.

So choices – choices – choices.  They both come on at the same time.  I don’t have a DVR.  I have to pick one over the other which is so hard.  And, I don’t want to flip back and forth – I would definitely miss something.  You gotta help me out.  What’s a little piggy to do?  Run back and forth from the living room to my bedroom trying to watch both?  I need some help my friends.  What will YOU be watching?

 

Monday Night Shivers –

WARNING – This may have spoilers about the show.  I’m caught up on it but just in case you’re not – WARNING!

Monday nights are exciting at the Hotel Thompson for television.  All housework must be completed, popcorn must be popped, bathroom breaks need to be done and you need to be in the front room for Being Human at 9:00PM.  If I’m still up, I get to watch.  I admit it’s scary but it’s the greatest show.  The down side to the show is it’s only an hour long each Monday.  It’s one of those shows that you start watching and all of a sudden the hour is up and you’re like WOW – Did that just happen!? 

Being Human started on the BBC and was a British supernatural drama.  It started in the United States as a supernatural drama in 2011 on the SyFy channel.  We’ve watched all of the seasons, have the videos and make it a regular weekly show on Mondays for our family movie night.  It is awesome!  Here’s a little breakdown to wet your interest and make you want to watch.

 

The show revolves around three of the main characters: a ghost, a werewolf and a vampire.  That’s a mix of characters already, isn’t it?  Intriguing in its ownself right there.  The ghost, Sally Malik, has been through her own little ordeal the first couple of seasons.  There’s always a reason why you stay as ghost after death, why you don’t pass over.  You know, unfinished business and all.  Well, she had a lot.  We find out that Sally got killed and that’s why she can’t find her door to cross over.  Bummer huh?  But not to fear, Sally is a lovely lady and in this season she is no longer a ghost 🙂 , she is something ‘else’.  For the details in that something else, well you’re going to have to watch the show.  She’s blossomed into a bigger character than I ever thought possibe.

The werewolf is Josh.  Since he has four legs once a month, I kind of favor him at times.  He’s also on mom’s Facebook – so yes we pick favorites – snort.  In the beginning of the show, he was camping with a friend in the woods and got attacked by a werewolf thus making him now a wolfie on the full moon.  He just really wants to be normal.  I can’t go into details about it but personally now I think he’s more normal than any of them – snort. 

His bestie is the vampire, Aidan Waite.  Aidan and Josh just want to fit in and be like everyday normal peeps.  They both work at the local hospital – I know outrageous huh?  They decide to move in together to have a kind of normalcy both knowing the others conditions.  They find a house and move in and that’s when they meet Sally.

So bottom line, we have three unique people all living together trying to have a normal life despite being a ghost, a werewolf and a vampire.  You think that’s enough?  Of course not.  Josh falls in love with Nora who also works at the hospital.  She has had a really rough time in the love department.  Unfortunately… or we might say fortunately after you’ve watched a couple of episodes… Nora also turns into a wolfie. 

I didn’t give away too much details.  It’s really an awesome show and I would give it four hooves up but I would fall on the floor so how about three hooves up?  You gotta give it a try and watch a couple of shows to see if you don’t get hooked.  I know we did!
