Game of Thrones Season 3

 I have a theory. 

On 21st December 2012, when unseen forces were preparing to bring an end to the world, some invisible spectre realised that they had made one crucial mistake with their calculations. 

They failed to factor in the fact that George R. R. Martin had not yet wrapped up his epic A Song of Ice and Fire series. 

I truly believe that the Earth was spared to allow Martin to wrap up his groundbreaking fantasy series, whose television incarnation is due to return to our screens on 31 March. 

Following a brilliant series two finale, we're now straying into the territory of my favourite book in the series so far, A Storm of Swords. The set pictures that have been publicised look fantastic, but I do wonder whether executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss will introduce a few deviations from the source material.

As if your mouth isn't already full to the brim with saliva, check out a cool, way-too-brief 'Making Of' for season 3 here.

Future Obsession Numero 2 - Misfits Series Four

Words cannot express how excited I am. After last year's explosive (and heartbreaking!) series finale, E4's superhero saga Misfits will be returning for its fourth series in a few weeks time.

And I for one can't wait. 

The end of series three may have led to a radical cast change, but we'll be introduced to a new superpower team (along with loveable faces like Curtis and Rudy) in the next few weeks. 

And the genius mind of Howard Overman seems to have come up with a dazzling range of supernatural foes to keep us on our seats in weeks to come. With rumours that a biker version of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will be making an appearance, it seems that the series is set to retain its crown as the Best Superhero Show Ever Made (sorry, Heroes). 

Check back over coming weeks for more info!

Future Obsession - Da Vinci's Demons

As if I'm not already struggling to get other basic things (like, I dunno, living) done amongst all the many hours I'm spending watching great television, I start to hear about awesome shows for me to look forward in 2013. 

One of those shows is most definitely going to be Da Vinci's Demons, a brand new historical fantasy drama, produced by BBC Worldwide and Starz. With David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight, Man of Steel) on scribing duties and the incredible Julie Gardner (Series 1 -4 of the new Doctor Who) exec producing, this is set to become one of my rants and raves in the New Year. 

Actor Tom Riley will star as the famous artist who is frequently called the greatest genius that ever lived. The show will explore Leonardo's many genius inventions - while occasionally delving into supernatural territory, it promises to be an exciting character study of a man historians have puzzled over for centuries. 

I really can't wait to delve into this (it's been granted an 8-episode first season) - fingers crossed that a certain Mayan prophecy will prove to be nothing more than a premature April Fools.
