OHMYGOSH!

The title of this post is honestly the most said thing in the past 48hrs in my world at least. For those of you that don't know I'm a fangirl, and the fangirl world of mine has gone into meltdown this weekend. So instead of the heads of some of the most popular franchises on the planet being nice and spreading out their various shows/films/adverts they've all been shown on one weekend.

So on Thursday Catching Fire, the second Hunger Games, was released and twenty four hours later there I was in the cinema very excited as I've only been waiting a year for it. I'm pleased to say it didn't disappoint it was b e a utiful.  Francis Lawrence didn't miss a thing, obviously some things have to be changed in a book to film adaptation but he did so well. I wont spoil it for anyone but there was one tiny niggle and if you've read the book but not seen the film this is a teensy tiny spoiler in 3......2.......1....0. The last line of the book makes me bawl and I was curled in a ball peeking through my hands knowing what was coming and they freaking went and added a bit on! The last line is perfect and the added bit just completely destroyed the powerfulness. However everything else was practically perfect.

Then on Saturday was the 50th anniversary of, if you haven't guessed by now where I'm going with this you must have been under a rock, Doctor Who. The feature length episode was shown in over 75 countries including in cinemas. That's insane! The writers of all the related doctor who shows that have been on the past few weeks/days have discovered how to take the heart of a teenage girl and stamp on it before throwing it into the deepest ocean. The saddest moment in TV history ever was when David Tennant was regenerating and said "I don't wanna go" as he began to cry. If you've not seen it don't watch it or every reference that Steven Moffat could throw into the fiftieth to remind viewers of the painfulness will kill you. I personally loved the episode and all the little references to the past doctors and, spoilers again, Capaldi and then Tom Baker at the end. However some people didn't like the deepness and cleverness of the episode which is personally what I love but hey I thought it was good.

Just as the episode ended there was another treat for my emotionally fragile world with a new Sherlock trailer. Admittedly I wasn't really paying a lot of attention and spent a while focusing on Johns moustache which I still really don't like.

Finally, I promise this is the last one, I got round to buying Allegiant the final book in the trilogy of post apocalyptic books by Veronica Roth. I'm beginning to devour it so don't spoil it! I've had to be careful on facebook as I like a couple of pages about it and the spoilers are calling my name.

So as you can see I'm still recovering from one meltdown after another. It's tough being a fangirl you know, I joke I joke.

Okay so this is a really quick post this week as this video came up on my news feed and I thought you lot should see it. It's one of the most motivational things I've ever seen. So if you've got a hard conversation to have don't hold onto the grenade.
