The boys are back on PBS: I confess to already seeing it. I knew someone who downloaded the episodes for me. It is not unique to me. As soon as the shows broadcast in England, people hit their favourite torrent sites to get the episodes. People usually discuss the show with a spoiler warning out … Continue reading Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Canadian Woman Who Couldn’t Wait

Midweek Geekiness: The Zombiefied Edition
The clever people behind Winnipeg's Zombie Walk scheduled the 2012 edition for October 13th. That's one day before The Walking Dead premieres its third season.

I watched The Walking Dead since it started then read some early issues of the comic. One well-known character from the series is only known as 'The Governor". He's a sadistic leader, rules with an iron fist, and can make a survivor wish for an old-fashioned zombie sighting. Ever since season one, people wondered who … Continue reading Walking Dead finds its Guvnor…er…Governor
