Recap: March

New feature: recaps, in which I sum up all events related to a subject up to a point. It can be for both TV shows or for a month. In this case, I'm summing up all the TV and movie events I was privy to this March.
Warning: Spoilers!

On TV:
Grimm continued to be awesome this month, delivering three solid episodes: Three Coins in a Fuschbau, which delved into the shows mythology a bit more with three gold coins from ancient times that bestow the carrier with powerful but very aggressive behavior. It also had the biggest HOLY CRAP!!!! moment in quite some time by revealing that Adolf Hitler was a vessin. Plumed Serpent proved to be a good storyline involving dragon-type vessin, which provided us with a chance to see a very attractive Danielle Panabaker and for Monroe to nerdgasm multiple times. The most recent episode, Island of Dreams, gave us three potential mini-arcs for the remainder of the season involving Wu eating cushions, the manipulation of Hank by Adalin and the nefarious Captain Renard, and new player coming to town by way Rosalee. It was a good month for the new fantasy/horror hit.

Touch had it's second and third episodes, neither of which stacked up with the pilot, but I think the show still has some potential.

30 Rock has been busy being 30 Rock. 'Nough said.

We also got some news involving the long awaited 7th season of Doctor Who, half of which will air in fall 2012, the other half in winer 2013. Amy and Rory will serve as the Doctor's companions for the first 5 episodes, one of which will include a trip to the old west, possibly involving a Dalek. Then, the Ponds will exit heartbreakingly after one final encounter with the Weeping Angels, and not everyone is gonna make it out alive. Does this mean Rory is going to die permanently?!!? Then, in the Christmas special, the Doctor gets in new companion, played by Jenna Louise Coleman. We don't know much about her yet, beyond she's hot and the Doctor has finally met someone who can talk faster than him, meaning that this is not an ordinary girl, even by the Doctor's standards. And of course we'll River Song, and possibly the long awaited visit from Captain Jack. The season will be less serialized then season 6 (boo!) and will have no two part episodes, but 14 standalone episodes that Moffat claims will be like 14 blockbuster movies. Moffat also claims that while serialization will be reduced from last season, there will still central story arc to the season, possibly involving the new companion.

Let it also be noted that I have started watching the Walking Dead. I know a ton of people who love it, and with season 3 about six months away, I figured now would be a good time to catch up on the first two seasons. I'm finished with season 1, and it is FREAKING AMAZING!!!!! Ideally, I'll be done with season 2 in time for my fall TV season review in a few months. The bottom line, it is probably one of the best sci fi shows on TV right now, and really one of the best shows currently on period. I'm serious, I think it's tied with Sherlock for best show currently airing.

At the movies:
March is usually a very weak month for movies, demonstrated by the fact I only saw one in theaters: John Carter. And it was kinda terrible. I did, however, rent both Alien and Donnie Darko for some reason, and I loved both of them.

That is my March recap.
