P is for… Point Pleasant #AtoZChallenge
P is for… Point Pleasant
Another one season wonder from 2005, and from the sticker on the DVD, one that was never fully shown on TV. Does this annoy anyone else? If the episodes are made at least put them on at a different time. Don’t people realise we get invested in stories?
In the town of Point Pleasant a young girl, Christina washes up on the beach and is taken in to someone’s home – she doesn’t want anyone to contact her family.
The symbol on the front is of 3 6s combined
The back cover tagline says:
She’s The Child of Darkness.
And She’s Under His Protection Now…
Who will win the battle between good and evil?
Actually now I come to think about it – the new trailer for the Beautiful Creatures film reminds me of this series.
Are there any series that you’ve never seen the end of because the network/channel pulled it too soon because of ratings?

O is for… Once Upon a Time #AtoZChallenge
O is for… Once Upon a Time
Once Upon a Time is a current series I am watching, at this very moment I have the second episode of season 2 on.
In the pilot a 28 year old woman – Emma Swan – is celebrating her birthday when she receives a surprise package – Henry, the 10 year old son she gave up for adoption. He shows her a fairytale book, says everything in it is real and that she is in it as the heroine. The modern day town he lives in is under a curse (her adopted mother is behind it), time stands still and all the characters we know and love don’t have a clue who they are.
Emma takes him back to Storybrooke and gets drawn in to Henry’s stories – is she destined to save everyone?
I love how this show combines the modern day stories with the fairytale ones and am interested to see the direction the show takes this year.
Top 3 Episodes so far
Red-Handed – Season 1 Episode 15
This episode revolves around Ruby, or as she was previously known Red-Riding Hood. I liked the new take on the tale.

Emma is in trouble – the Mad Hatter – currently Jefferson has her trapped in his mad house.
Dreamy – Season 1 Episode 14
Leroy – ex Grumpy dwarf and Astrid – ex clumsy fairy Nova share a romance in both realms.

N is for… No Ordinary Family #AtoZChallenge
N is for… No Ordinary Family
I knew it was going to be harder to keep up once I was back at work so apologies for the delayed posts. How’s the challenge going for everyone else?
No Ordinary Family (2010-2011) only had one season. This is another series I’ve only watched once so I can’t pick out individual episodes. A ‘kind of’ live action The Incredibles but the family only get superpowers after a plane crash. This is about how they learn to live with their new abilities.
This show stared Julie Benz – Darla from Buffy/Angel – but this time she’s not evil, just fast.
That’s it for today (I’m tired and have my second post to write).
Did you watch this show? What did you think?
If you could pick a superpower – what would it be and how would you come by it?
