TV of the year

My hero of the year is Steven Moffat.  The guy is a genius and his writing is fierce, he has taken the reins of Doctor Who and made it even better than I could have thought possible.  Matt Smith's portrayal of the Doctor is wonderfully eccentric and fun, whilst Amy Pond and Rory are a great pair of companions.  The story arc was pitched perfectly and all my love for Who can be summed up in the two part season finale which was just plain awesome.

If you needed another reason to adore Mr Moffat then I add Sherlock to the mix.  Fantastic combination of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman as Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. Three ninety miniute episodes of awesomeness, ok the Blind Banker was a tad weaker than a study in pink and the great game.  Overall, a fantastic idea.

So things that Steven Moffatt hasn't been involved in: True Blood.  I know, I know, it's trashy TV, but it's very seductive kind of trashy and well it has Alexander Skarsgaard who is just incredible. The Walking Dead which is just breath taking TV and probably the closest thing to BSG I've seen in a while, not at the same level of intensity and awesomeness but still a really gripping story about humanity on the edge.

Mad Men, late to the party on this one and only one season deep but so beautifully shot the character development on this show is second to none.

This year's series of Merlin was a reward for the previous two series of mediocre plodding to give glimpses of how exciting Merlin can be.

Of course, there's the doctor who xmas special to come and that will be squee tastic :D
