But to each his own... but you're right the BBC has been putting some great shows together! I LOVE Sherlock! And have you seen The Hour? Quite good. I also enjoyed Ripper Street and Mi-5 was the best thing there was there for a while. I still miss it. I am furious with Comcast because they have suddenly started charging me for AMC and for BBC America without warning. I'm sure there's some fine print somewhere... buggerers. I think I am going to have to bite the bullet and pay $10 more to get MORE only to get screwed again down the road. Buggerers... <br /><br />Cheers!

When the walking Dead is on I'm far away. In the office with the door closed.<br /><br />I have close friend who picked up a traditional publisher for her Zombie series. I like her writing and have read most of her stories, except this series. I honestly tried to read it in support but, eww.<br /><br />But I'm glad you like it! I enjoyed reading your thoughts on it.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.siamckye.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Sia McKye OVER COFFEE</a> ~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-57891612297390516792013-06-07T15:30:01.526-06:002013-06-07T15:30:01.526-06:00I want more Torchwood! and I'd love to see mor...I want more Torchwood! and I'd love to see more Outcasts.

When my mom used to tell me about Jesus raising the dead, I wished that they were not dead enough to loose their skin and flesh and not be made fun of. I was actually sympathetic for them.<br /><br />You post on "Fear " has a lot of comments that are helpful and interesting at the same time.
