Oh 2009!

It's that time again! Yes, 2009 is over but it still had some memorable and amazing discoveries.

1. gLee!
So awesome and amazing. I love every moment of it and can not wait til April when it returns. All I can say brilliant characters, amazing writing and the hilarious Jane Lynch. This show just speaks to all the geekiness in my soul :)

2. Bones
While it's been on air for a four previous seasons--I only discovered it this summer. And it is pure magic. I love the dynamic between Seeley Booth and Tempreance Brenan that keeps me coming back. Despite all the struggles and depressing events they have had to dealt with, there still remains magic and light in their relationship. Plus they have some widly fascinating cases and magnificient work atmosphere with interesting characters. Really its a can't miss

3. Firefly/Serenity

So I was tad late on this train but I can't believe this show only lasted a brief moment in time. I totally love all the characters and how bad Mal pretends to be when deep down he has a heart as pure as gold.

4. The Script

After fall in love with them at a Borders and the beautiful city of Ann Arbor, I don't know what to say about this duo. They got me through some exercises or just times when I want mellow out. I love these guys and can't wait to hear more of there amazing songs. Song that just hit the heart in all the right places.

5. Katy Perry

While everyone thinks Lady Gaga is where it's at, but I really love the majority of the stuff that Katy Perry writes. A lot of her metaphors are just right. Anyways, she one of my fave new artist of the year. Plus she used Matt Dallas in my sad song of the year (Thinking of You), can't get better than that :P

6. Star Trek

So, this was my movie of the summer. I don't even know why I like it so much. All I can say is that it was refreshing and a nice surprise. I guess I went in thinking that I could just stare at the beautiful Chris Pine if it was a total slump, but in the end I fell in love with the franchise that had been set up and truly enjoyed the plot.

7. The Hangover

This had to be by far the best comedy of the year and every single actor that participated in this piece was brilliant, even down to the lost groom. Seriously there were some shining moments and it was just a one of the more creative concepts presented to the public this summer. Best moment had to be when the guy jumped out of the trunk, like some kind of mountain lion. LOL.

Goodbyes

1. Kyle XY

It was super hard for me to say goodbye to this show. And a lot anomisity came from within when I heard the disgraceful news, because I truly loved this show. I really thought it to be unique and original and I guess that's what the problem was unfortunately, people seem to like to watch the same old junk. But that's life and I truly wish the best for the cast and crew. And I guess I'll cross my fingers for a movie

2. BSG

What can I say?? Battlestar Galactica, made me the sci-fi junky that I am today. Seriously, it washed away all my preconceived notions of what science fiction meant and I loved the story it told, even though at the end it got a bit forced with the images of robotics in our culture. But serious props to the creator, writers and actors of this great adventure!

TRAP!

As I was lounging around today, partaking in the viewing pleasure of the marvelous extras on my shiny new The Office Season 4 DVD Box Set, I came to a realization that my favorite extras on any DVD set are the gag reels.  I think it's because I'm interested in television and production, and therefore find it cool to see a sort of behind-the-scenes look of the show.  Of course, it's easy to love television gag reels, what with The Office DVDs having epic, 22 minute long gag reels that are many times as funny as the episodes themselves.  But when I thought about it, quite a few of my other favorite TV shows have AMAZING gag reels as well.  So great that I was inspired to make a post about them!  

The Office Season 3 Gag Reel:

Ok, so I couldn't actually find the entire season 3 gag reel on YouTube, but I did find this short Jim/Pam season 3 blooper that I love.  All of The Office gag reels are amazing, but there's something about season 3's that are so funny.  I think it's the Ed Helms factor.

House Season 2 Gag Reel

I'm actually surprised at how funny I find the House gag reels.  I like season 2's the best probably because of the Chase/House argument scene. :)

Supernatural Season 1 Gag Reel

All of Supernatural's gag reels are AMAZING!  So amazing that I really could have posted season 2 or season 3's and totally felt good about it.  I think they're so great because Jared and Jensen are extremely funny and natural together, which makes for hilarious hijinks.

Serenity Gag Reel

So this is cheating a little, because Serenity isn't a TV show, it's just based off of a TV show.  But while Firefly's gag reel is hilarious (especially the panning shot that Nathan Fillion keeps popping up in), the Serenity gag reel is probably the greatest I've ever seen before in my entire life.  There's a reason why I saved the best for last, and why it's the basis for the title of this post.  It's all because of Nathan Fillion too.  God, I love that man.
