So Happy that Hank is Back

Californication is back for season 7, and I couldn't be happier about it.  Besides the chain smoking and binge drinking Hank Moody is my hero, and in my opinion one of the best characters in the history of television.  If you know me at all you know that Californication is one of if not my favorite TV show.  As a writer I can't help but connect with Hank, especially his struggles with staying true to his work in a society that makes it nearly impossible for a writer to succeed.  His character repeatedly tries to do the right thing and tell the truth and somehow it always seems to blow up in his face.  I don't know if this is the last season, I sure hope not because I love the show, but if it is I truly hope that Hank will finally get what he's been looking for throughout the first six seasons and will leave the TV screen as a happy an successful writers.  I know it probably won't happen because even Hank Moody wouldn't script a happy ending for himself.  I imagine that the end will seem sad but will have some kind of silver lining.  But I'm skipping ahead, because there's at least one more season of Hank in his glory before the end of this show, and I advise all of you to take in and enjoy Hank in all of his greatness.  The first season started with a bang (not literally, but it's Hank so you know it's coming), and a shocking revelation, but don't worry I'm not a spoiler (and I despise them). Here's the trailer, enjoy and watch the show!

So Excited that Game of Thrones is Back!

I watched the first episode of season 4 of Game of Thrones, and thuroughly enjoyed it. Sure it wasn't the most action packed episode in the history of the series, but it effectively introduced us to some new characters while also settling some scores.  I couldn't be happier that this show is back. Things are only going to get crazier, and I'm very excited to see how it unfolds on TV compared to the written version. If I have to be critical I'm a little bothered that they changed the actor for Darion Naharis. I know he's a minor character, but I enjoy consistency with actors in long series. For example, in Harry Potter the only character who thy changed was Dumbledore because the original actor died. I just thought with Naharis that it couldn't have been so hard to have the guy come by a few times to shoot his scenes. In any case, I really enjoyed the first episode, and I'm very excited for this season of Game of Thrones.
