Geek World's Best Couples!

The last post was pretty depressing, so I've decided to cheer up this place with a selection of the best Geek Couples, not all of these are romantic. Just the best duos in some of my favourite TV shows.

As always they're in no particular order!

1. Jamie AKA The Kingslayer and Brienne


 
Seeing their relationship develop was one of the highlights of last season. Jamie showed a side of himself that we had not seen before and Brienne opened up to a man she began by hating. It's very lucky that Catelyn sent Brienne on this mission, if not she would have been slaughtered along with everyone else. Although perhaps her presence at the Red Wedding would have had a catalytic effect and the whole thing would have become known as "What wedding?" 






2. Sherlock and John Watson. 

That should be Joan Watson. And let me clear - I can't stand the other Watson of recent times, played by Martin Freeman - he always looks as though he is trying to take a gigantic shit. 


Nah, I'm talking about Elementary. A new take on an old idea. Sherlock is a drug addict and Watson is his sober companion (at least that is how it starts) - what I love about their relationship is that even though they are both straight and off the opposite sex - their's is a partnership not a romance (at least from what I have seen). So eat that Harry and Sally.

3. On the other hand we have Spike & Buffy

I couldn't decide whether to put these two in the 'doomed couples category' or the 'best couples category' but decided on the latter because I still hold on to the belief that Spike survived the apocalypse at the end of 'Angel' and he went off to Europe to find Buffy. They subsequently bought an apartment in Rome and lived happily ever after.





I love them together. He sees who she is and she sees who he is. Warts and all. No pretending or lying. And who knows they may have got their happily ever after.

4. Piper and Leo

Are completely awesome. Like totally man! They are the ultimate magical power couple.



They are the heart and soul of Charmed a TV Show I find myself coming back to again and again and again




6. Willow and Tara from Buffy

Very tastefully done. Not burnt to a crisp or under-cooked. Just right. And ahead of its time. Shame that Tara didn't make it!



7. Tyrion and Bron





They're a very funny pair. I don't particularly like Bron but the antics they get upto can't help make you laugh. Bron is made a better character because of his involvement with Tyrion - whereas Tyrion needs no one to help him!



Game of Thrones would not be complete without these two that's for sure. 

Adieu.

Good Bye How I Met Your Mother: I Totally Called It.

Has Game of Thrones gone to far!!? Daily Mail's Hypocrisy.

Obviously those who complained about this scene have never watched or read anything about Game of Thrones before, because anyone who has knows that you don't watch it with your children or your Grandmother (unless of course your Grandma is one of those seriously kick-ass kind of Grandmas, who have read more of GoT than you have).

The above photo is a screen-grab taken from the Daily Hate Mail (Daily Mail UK) whose journalists just love to kick up a fuss about sex, violence, computer games, same-sex marriage, divorce, hijabs, lesbians, gay kissing, foreigners, black people, black gay people, Asians, accents, border control, Communists, single mums, chavs, drugs, hoodies, Europe, the Euro, swine flu, pedophiles, capital punishment, english ale, pens causing cancer, grapefruit causing cancer, water causing cancer, air causing cancer, immigration, sex, sex and sex. Oh and the Royal Family. The bloody Royal Family every single day of the soddin' week. No I really don't care if Bonny Baby Prince George has just sat up. No I don't care that he has just pooped. In fact I'd really prefer it if you just pissed of back to wherever the hell you came from. Hell being the operative word Mr. Murdoch.

One thing I find particularly amusing is the Conservative Right's obsession of sex. Which is a complete hypocrisy. Whilst the Daily Heil, might tell you there's too much sex on TV, their famous 'Sidebar of (In)Fame' is full of sex, celebrity and just general whore-mongering, mouth drooling, objectification of women. For a little more info on the Good Ol' Daily Piece of Shit, I refer you to an old blog of mine: 

An addiction of the worse kind. The Daily Hate Mail's sidebar wall of shame.

You might also want to check out the following hilarious spoof song by dananddanfilms on youtube which has been around for years but is still just as funny as when I first watched it (for those on the other side of the Pond - the Daily Mail actually has more American readers than UK ones).

So back to GoT. The first episode was perhaps one of the most toned down in the sex department (in fact there was no actual sex!) that I can remember. So if people (there were probably 10 complaints out of 1.2 million) thought that was bad they should definitely NOT scroll down. It's pretty frightening. And these are the least explicit images I could find.

^ Oh no! Gays. What are we going to do??

^ UUUH Incest! Is that okay or not? I seem to recall there's quite a bit of it in the Bible.

^ Erotic shaving? hmmm...

On Twitter, one user said: ‘I can’t watch Game of Thrones. There’s too much rape and murder.’ Did you not see the Red Wedding?! 

And we have us some violence:

See 'Daily Hate' there is really so much murder, sex and violence you are yet to be shocked by?

And whilst we are on the subject of sex, why don't we take a look at some of your articles from the last week or so? Because I'm sure they are striking example of responsible journalism: respectful, modest and containing no nudity or violence and objectification or subjugation of women.

The following are either screen captures from the Heil, or images used on their website in the last week.

^ Yes cause winning back your cheating ex should be on the top of every woman's to do list. 

^ I completely see why this back-shot was necessary. When women run it is important to see their behinds. For the sake of equality I tried to find an article about men jogging, but couldn't find any recent ones, compared to umpteen ones about women.

^ A private moment between mother and child. Broadcast to millions upon millions of people. 

^ Another one of women doing sports.

^ A racy photoshoot which the Daily Mail were not invited to.

^Obviously based on a peer-reviewed, academic and scientific study completed using focus groups, large amounts of data and in depth interviews. No? I don't believe it! How else could they know that women want Emma Watson's hips and men prefer Kelly Brook's?

 
^ Nice muff.

^ Wet t-shirt contest?

^ Carefully placed metal tassels are this season's must have.

^ Is this one of them no-makeup selfies? 

^ The New Bushy Brazzilian is apparently the next big thing. 

Obviously these images were just placed there accidentally. They just slipped in, so to speak. 

I would much prefer my nudity and sex in the shape of Game of Thrones: a clever exposition on power, than on page 3, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19-50 of my newspaper (not that I would even use The Daily Mail to wipe my butt).

So instead of bashing GoT, The Daily Mail ought to take a long, hard look in the mirror and heed the words spoken by the third member of their Holy Trinity (the first being Rupert Murdoch and second God) that 'he without sin should cast the first stone.' 

Are you sinless Daily Mail? 

Nah, I don't think so.
