Thought: After thinking about a while, I don’t think raising the price of Netflix is that big of a deal, chill out people, I think it’s fair!!!

So Netflix announced the controversial price raise to 60%, and of course, they got a backlash for it. I was kind of pissed a little bit at first, but after thinking about it a while, I began to understood why they did this. I’m keeping my Netflix and not canceling.

You know how when you go rent a movie from your local video store in town, well isn’t the cost pretty much the same thing as you watch stuff on Netflix? The same with going to the movies at the theater. It’s no different than watching movies on PPV or the internet either. Do the math and figure it out.

I still support Netflix. I like the company. It’s a lazy way of watching movies & TV shows without having to go to the store to buy or rent the DVD, you can do all that stuff right at home. I also think people are overreacting over the price a little bit. The price raise is an opportunity to help get better stuff to stream on Netflix like newer TV shows and movies like they already have been doing. So I can’t blame them for doing what they are doing.

They are a business. They need money to stay alive. Netflix rocks, they still get my support.

Cool Video: Michael C. Hall the man himself briefly responds to “Dexter going after Casey Anthony” rumors…

Michael C. Hall, the star of “Dexter” was spotted walking the streets of Los Angeles, and TMZ stopped him. Of course, they had to ask him if Dexter will kill Casey Anthony.

See the video at, TMZ.

Seems like Michael is not a big fan of the paparrazi although he does seem like a nice guy. Notice how Michael is trying to avoid TMZ a little bit but he was nice enough to answer their questions.

While Dexter is a fictional character, I think it would be pretty cool if Casey Anthony can be written in as a character for an episode of Season 6. Casey Anthony could be played by a different actress on the show.

Netflix Pick (PS3): Lost – Season 5

Last week, I just finished, “Lost – Season 5” on Netflix. This season gets really deep into the science fiction stuff ’cause this season concentrates mostly on time travel.

As for the plot, some of the survivors have been rescued by the helicopter pilot, Frank Lapidius (Jeff Fahey) from Season 4. They go back home to the US on Charles Widmores boat. The survivors that go back home are Jack, Kate, Sayid, Hurley, and Desmond, but the rest of the survivors either died or stayed on the island. As the rescued survivors: Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid and Desmond tries to rebuild their lives back home, Benjamin Linus is trying to get them back together so they can go back to the island. Ben wants the survivors to go back to the island because he claims they need to take care of something so the people can be safe after bad things happened to them after Ben turned the frozen wheel from Season 4.

New characters are introduced that season like Daniel, Miles, and Charlotte who are there to help the survivors stop the time travel experiment that the DHARMA Initiative started. John Locke is appointed as new leader of The Others. Richard Alpert is also a new character introduced that season in which he plays an ageless inhabitant on the island. Richard Alpert teams up with John Locke to try and help find a mysterious man named Jacob. A character named, Horace Goodspeed is also introduced who works for the DHARMA Initiative.

This season is mostly about trying to put an end to time travel. This season is pretty entertaining, but kind of silly and whacky at the same time. I was mostly blown away by the acting of Terry O’ Quinn who plays John Locke and Michael Emerson who plays Benjamin Linus, pretty impressive acting skills by the two of them.

The writing this season can get kind of confusing at times, I guess that’s why they call the show, “Lost” because they want you to get lost with the stories. Season 5 is a good season but not the best, I still say Season 4 is the best season so far.

I’ve just started “Lost – Season 6” only watched the first episode and will watch more of it today. I’m hoping the rest of the show is good.

Report: Gwendoline Christie is Brienne, Maid of Tarth for “Game of Thrones – Season 2″…

HBO’s Game of Thrones have found their Brienne, Maid of Tarth, who is known as the wench in “Clash of Kings”, the second book of the “Song of Ice and Fire” series. Gwendoline Christie can be seen in the Terry Gilliam’s “Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassius” which is the only film she starred in her acting career. This will be her next acting gig.

The Hollywood Reporter, reports.

They better make her look ugly for the Brienne, Maid of Tarth character, ’cause that’s how she was in the second book “Clash of Kings”. She’s a skilled warrior in the book and she wants to become a knight. Catelyn orders her to escort Jaime Lannister to King’s Landing, hoping to exchange him for Catelyn’s captive daughters. Catelyn Stark was Lord Eddard’s wife. I won’t go any further with the plot points, I just wanted to give you an idea what this Brienne character is like.

I feel she’s going to be another popular character for the “Game of Thrones” series. I’m reading the third book, “Storm of Swords” and Brienne is throughout most of the third book too.

These are great books and if you haven’t started these books, you really should.

Dexter Morgan’s popularity suddenly got big today…

While the Casey Anthony “Not Guilty” verdict was a bad thing, the good thing that got out of this, was that it helped Dexter Morgan get recognized more. Dexter is a hit show on the Showtime channel, in which, the character is played by Michael C. Hall. Dexter is a fictional serial killer who only killed other criminals. The reason it helped Dexter’s popularity was that the show Dexter is taken place in Miami, Florida while the Casey Anthony case was in Orlando. Different cities, but in the same home state. Everyone could picture Dexter taking Casey Anthony as his next victim for “The Code”.

This will certainly help the ratings with “Dexter – Season 6″ coming up.

I’m a huge fan of Dexter as you readers know, it’s one of my favorite TV shows ever. Other than ‘Game of Thrones”, “The Walking Dead’, and “Friday Night lights”. “Dexter” is really high up on the list too. Can’t wait for Season 6.

Report: Charlie Sheen finally gets a new TV gig, will get roasted on Comedy Central…

Comedy Central has found a new guest, and surprise? Who is it? None other than the Tigerblood, Charlie Sheen. Comedy Central’s “Roast” is a  show where they have celebrities sit and listen to a bunch of comedians bash them publicly on camera. Denis Leary was the first Roastee. Other roastee’s were, Jeff Foxworthy, Pam Anderson, Larry the Cable Guy, William Shatner, Bob Saget, Donald Trump and more.

Comedy Central, “Roast” with Charlie Sheen, will air the same night “Two and a Half Men” returns to TV.

Deadline reports:

I’m gonna have to watch this.

What comedians should go on the show to roast Charlie? Well I know Comedy Central are going to try and get Jon Cryer and Chuck Lorre. Both who Charlie had fallen outs with. That be great if Comedy Central could get Jon and Chuck. I know Comedy Central will try to ask Chuck Lorre so hopefully Mr. Lorre will accept. Charlie Sheen bashed Chuck Lorre online so many times, it would be great if Chuck could get his payback, would be entertaining!

Other celebrities I would like to see get on to roast Charlie: Denis Leary, Andrew Dice Clay, Snoop Dogg, Dana Carvey, Gary Busey, Emilio Estevez, Keifer Sutherland (Charlie’s former, “Young Guns” star), and Denise Richards.

That is all. Looking forward to it! Gonna be funny!

Report: “Star Trek – The Next Generation” is now streamable on Netflix…

Announced today, all 7 seasons of “Star Trek – The Next Generation” are now streamable for Netflix along with “Voyager” and “Enterprise”. I’m such a huge Star Trek “TNG” fan and I’m looking forward to watching this show all over again.

I’m glad Paramount let Netflix stream Star Trek series, because Star Trek still deserves to get known. Star Trek isn’t for everyone, but I suggest people to try and get into it. I’m a big Trekkie, and quite proud of it too. Have been a Trekkie ever since I was a child.

Thanks to Paramount and Netflix for this. I’m excited!

Thought: I don’t still get “True Blood’…

So the season premiere of “True Blood – Season 4” is on tonight. I try to watch some of the reruns on HBO, but every time I try, I switch the channel and can’t sit through one episode. My opinion on the show still stays the same. I don’t like it.

Yes, I love vampire stories. Love to read vampire books, watch vampire films, and TV shows, but not “True Blood”. I see it more as a softcore gay porn show and the storytelling isn’t good, in my opinion. Plus, I think the show is pretty overrated.

I always thought “Dark Shadows” was the best show on vampires, “Kolchak: The Night Stalker” was great too. It’s just that “True Blood” isn’t a good show. I wish the show would get canceled but I have this bad feeling that the show will run for a very long time. It’s going to last for several seasons or more, I’m sure.

Report: James Spader in talks for CEO as Dunder Mifflin for “The Office”…

“Boston Legal” star, James Spader is in talks to be the new CEO for Dunder Mifflin in “The Office”, as replacement for Steve Carell. He already guest starred in the season finale.

More on it, here.

James Spader is a phenomenal actor. I never watched “Boston Legal”, but I remembered Spader in the first “Stargate” film and the drama, “Crash”.

No matter who replaces Steve Carell, the show is going to bomb without him. I’m pretty sure the ratings will drop next season. The show is going to get canceled, just watch.
