2014 Emmy Predictions & Ruminations

Derek

emmys
Monday brings us the second biggest awards show of the year when the 66th Primetime Emmys airs. And the biggest question I have is why is it airing on Monday? Isn’t Sunday the usual night for the Emmys? This stalwart awards show couldn’t possibly be running scared from the MTV Awards which is set to air on this Sunday could it? That would be a bigger flinch than SUPERMAN v BATMAN moving to a new date to avoid the third Captain America movie. Oh well, whatever the case it comes on Monday and is I have predictions and ruminations to share as the title of this post so clearly states.

Boots And Pants And Boots And Pants

Derek

With what is being very cruelly dubbed the “Worst Local Commercial Ever” from far too many unenlightened online denizens, the East Hills Mall has instead produced the ear wormiest line from any song in 2014. Watch the vid and try to keep yourself from singing “boots and pants” over and over again.

Doctor Who Needs More Time Lords

Derek

Actually the show needs more evil Time Lords to be exact. And I am not talking about an old mainstay evil Time Lord like The Master either. I like The Master and his arcs on nuWho have been really fun but it is time for some of the criminally ignored, old school evil Time Lords to get their moments in the sun on nuWho.
