Dean Winchester's Playlist.


Have you ever wanted a Supernatural playlist of (probably) Dean Winchester approved songs? Well I've spent the last week making one on YouTube from songs that appear on the show, I'm that awesome. It obviously consists of mostly classic rock (and that one Taylor Swift song), all songs are from the show, I've noticed most people that do these Dean playlists tend to just take a guess at the songs from stuff he says on the show or include absolutely every song from the show and both of these aren't what I'm looking for. I've just included the stuff we hear. So far we have up to season 10.

I would do one for Sam too but lets face it, he has terrible taste in music.

Fringe


Fringe is definitely one of my favourite shows involving weird stuff. Love the whole idea of monsters and stuff coming through from another dimension or being created in labs. The show looks amazing too, very gritty.


I love Anna Torv's character in the show, I like me a FBI agent that means business and I've always had a bit of a thing for women dressed for business.


I also love Jasika Nicole's character, Astrid. She's such an angel for putting up with Walter's corpses and other gross experiments. She's also very pretty.


Talking about Walter, he's by far the best character in the show. John Noble does such a fine job portraying him that he has me on an emotional roller coaster. Walter suffers from a few mental disorders and is quite child-like. He provides a lot of comedy on the show as a result of being child-like so when he's genuinely upset about something it has you all upset too. Watching Walter is like watching a child.


I do love this show, it's probably one of the best shows of it's kind.

Jane Goldman

Jane Goldman (aka Jonathan Ross's wife) is not only a very beautiful woman but she's also one hell of a writer (you probably didn't know this even if you knew who she was, you were probably distracted by something). She started off writing for magazines and newspapers including the legendary GameZone and Sega Zone. She later wrote a series of non-fiction books for teenagers and the The X-Files Book of the Unexplained. She even wrote a crime thriller novel called Dreamworld.


If you know her for anything other than being married to that lucky git Jonathan Ross it will be for Jane Goldman Investigates, a pretty decent TV show presented by Goldman that looked into the world of the occult and spirituality. That's not all she's done with TV though, she appeared on Gamesmaster back in the 90s and more recently she produced The Big Fat Quiz series of shows from 2004 to 2013.


If the classic game stuff isn't enough to give you a nerd-boner and you don't think Jane Goldman is awesome yet: she also co-wrote some awesome movies including Stardust, Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class and X-Men: Days of Future Past. She also wrote the screenplay for The Woman in Black, which is in my eyes one of the best modern horrors as it doesn't count on jump scares to alert you (not scare you) and is genuinely creepy and frighting.


She also co-wrote the screenplay for the best looking movie of the year so far, Kingsman: The Secret Service. This movie looks so amazing, with the exception of Marvel movies it's the movie I'm most excited about seeing this year so far.

Breaking Bad


Breaking Bad is one of those shows I didn't start watching until it was already well established. My first experience of breaking bad was the beginning of season 3. This show is as awesome as everyone says it is and I normally don't go with the masses. It's all thanks to two things: the show didn't end too soon or go on too long and the main cast members, Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul. Their on screen chemistry is fantastic and the characters of Walt and Jesse are interesting enough to watch separately too. It also helps having an iconic look.


The show's villains are pretty awesome too, Giancarlo Esposito as the terrifying Gustavo 'Gus' Fring.


This is definitely one show that lives up to the hype. Makes a nice change.

Warehouse 13


Warehouse 13 is one of the rare shows I've actually watched from when it came out and caught the show on TV. Normally I pick up a TV show a few years in or after it's done on Netflix or Amazon Prime. This show has two of my favourite things on TV, a secret organization collecting supernatural artifacts and a structure with one continuous story and an easy to follow individual story per episode. This show is pretty cool and funny at the same time, like all good sci-fis should be.


One of the coolest things about this show from a geeky perspective is recognizing the names of famous scientists and novelists as well as some famous objects from history. The objects made specially for the show are pretty cool too, especially the Tesla gun. I'd love a shot of one.


The show also has three of the most beautiful women on TV in the main cast. Joanne Kelly plays the pretty bad-ass Myka, the original reason I started watching the show.


Allison Scagliotti is one of the reasons I continued to watch it she's Claudia a cool and alternative beautiful genius.


Then there's Leena played by Genelle Williams, who wasn't in it much to start with but became more regular after the first few episodes.


As with most TV shows like this one there's a lot of good looking people popping in and out for an episode or two. One of the best looking and one of the best sci-fi baddies ever I think is Jaime Murray as H.G. Wells.


This is definitely something to watch if you're into shows like Supernatural and Eureka.

Hogfather

I'm a big Terry Pratchett fan and I was over the moon when I heard they were making a live action adaptation of one of the Discworld novels. I remember being like a kid on Christmas watching this the first time.


This book and the film would be nothing without Death and Albert (Death's butler). The Grim Reaper and his man-servant filling the role of the Hogfather (their version of Santa) and his little helper is one of the funniest things ever.


One of my favourite actors is Marc Warren and he is super-creepy as the manic assassin Mr Teatime. That's Te-ah-tim-eh by the way, not Tea time. ;-)


The hero of this film is the extremely awesome no-nonsense granddaughter of Death, Susan. She's played by the jaw-droppingly beautiful Michelle Dockery.


If you want to watch something different at Christmas and you love fantasy and get British humor then you should give this a watch if you haven't already.

TNA Wrestling: British Boot Camp 2


I have to be honest, I don't know anything about TNA and I have never watched it or anything about it until now. I haven't even seen the first season of this show and to be honest I'm not going to cause it looks pish. I enjoyed this show though it felt like the whole show was a promo for the Al Snow vs Grado match in January of 2015. That should be good by the way.


It was great seeing some of my favourite British wrestlers on TV again and it was these guys that made the show worth watching. The Scottish people's champion, Grado was the most entertaining part of the show as he tends to be. He's funny as usual but I don't think they showed off his talent for wrestling as much as they should have.


It was fascinating seeing Noam Dar too as I've only ever seen him wrestle and never heard him speak. He's always a pleasure to watch as his style is pretty technical and he really suits being in the ring.


Sha Samuels was awesome in this too, I've only seen him a few times-and I know it's controversial but- I love his over the top asshole of a character. He makes for great entertainment and isn't that what it's all about?


I loved Nikki Storm in this too, she's a fantastic wrestler, easy on the eyes and is probably one of the most dedicated to her character, keeping it up even when she's put out of the show.


Dave Mastiff is a monster of a man and he's one of the most impressive people in wrestling in general: his size surely is intimidating and his agility and stamina are impressive. Many times in this show he had me stunned by what he can do with ease that a lot of other wrestlers would struggle with.


Last but not least there was the ever-lovely Kay Lee Ray being lovely as usual. She's probably one of the best female wrestlers around and this show done well showcasing her talents. That 4-way match with the girls in the show was one of the best matches I've ever seen thanks mainly to Kay Lee.


You can still see this show in Sky Box Sets.

Arrow


Like most shows I came into Arrow late, I've just started watching season one. Normally I hate shows that focus on flashbacks so much but the flash backs in this are awesome, they are kinda like a live action Far Cry 3.


The Green Arrow costume itself is amazing. Wish people would stop calling him the Hood though.


The bad guys look awesome too, I especially like Wintergreen and the Dark Arrow. They look proper bad-ass.

Wintergreen
The Dark Arrow
There's so many great looking people in this show. Katie Cassidy plays Laurel, Oliver's ex and a lawyer trying to take down the corrupt people of the city through legal channels.


Emily Bett Rickards might be my favourite girl on the show, she is Felicity the prettiest computer genius I've ever seen. She works for Oliver.


Don't let Arrow know I said this but his little sister, Thea is bloody gorgeous although a little annoying. She's played by the lovely Willa Holland.


I don't normally include people outside the regular cast in these posts unless they are epically cool or beyond beautiful and Jessica De Gouw as Helena Bertinelli / The Huntress is both.


I really can't wait til I catch up with this show as the latest pictures I've seen excite me quite a bit.


The Flash (2014)


I've been watching The Flash and I think it's my new favourite show. It's kind of like Smallville in style, you just don't have to wait for it to get exciting. There's action from episode one. They've really done this show right.


Grant Gustin who plays the Flash is another young actor that's very talented and immensely likable. The Flash outfit looks pretty damn cool too.


Just like all superhero stuff there's some strong and gorgeous women in this. The massively pretty Candice Patton plays Iris, the girl that put the Flash into the friend zone.


One of my favourite actresses, Danielle Panabaker plays Caitlin Snow. She's one of the scientists that helps The Flash.


Fans of Arrow should give this a watch.

The Big Bang Theory


I love this show a lot. It's a shining light amongst masses of crappy modern comedies. It's also made being nerdy super cool which is why I'm so cool now. It's amazing how this show manages to keep the masses entertained without dumbing down the geeky and nerdy jokes. I do, however, find myself being the only one laughing at some of the jokes the guys say to each other, the audience aren't even laughing.


Not only is this show funny and the characters are all very likable, the three main ladies are great looking girls. Everyone loves Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting as far as I know and it's obvious to see why.


I've liked Mayim Bialik since Blossom, she might not dress the best as Amy but she sure is a good looking woman.


Then there's the cute-as-hell but somewhat scary Bernadette played by the equally as cute Melissa Rauch.


If you haven't watched this yet and you're a fan of The IT Crowd, How I Met Your Mother and Friends then you should give this a try.
