[19] Much like the television adaption of A Song of Ice and Fire, the series will not be adapted following the books' order, but rather a mix of contents. [20] The first book of the series to be adapted is The Elfstones of Shannara, the second book in the trilogy, with some elements of the other novels being gradually adapted to the show. [21] Casting Manu Bennett was cast in March 2015 [22] and in July 2015 Ivana Baquero , Austin Butler , Poppy Drayton , Emelia Burns and John Rhys-Davies joined the show. [23] Filming The filming of the 10-episode season wrapped in New Zealand at Auckland Film Studios in June 2015, [24] and the first trailer debuted on July 10, 2015. [2] Music The opening theme song, "Until We Go Down" performed by Maggie Eckford from Ruelle[25] (who also did the opening theme song for Shadowhunters ) was announced November 2015. [26] [27][28] Release During the Shannara Chronicles panel at San Diego Comic-Con International in July 2015, a teaser trailer was revealed, [29] giving audiences a first look at the sets and characters.

[37] The series has also been licensed to a number of different countries, including the United Kingdom (airing on Channel 5 ), Australia ( Syfy) and New Zealand (Sky TV ). [38] Reception Critical response The Shannara Chronicles has received mixed or average reviews, receiving a 50/100 score on Metacritic, based on fourteen reviews [39] and a 50% for season 1 on Rotten Tomatoes based on twenty-four reviews, with an average rating of 5/10. The critics' consensus reads: "The Shannara Chronicles wears its influences heavily on its sleeve and needs to find surer footing before it can tap its true potential, but it still might suffice for viewers in search of a teen-friendly Game of Thrones." [40] The New York Times wrote the following: "So give this reasonably absorbing series a little credit, even though it often seems to be merely reworking various fantasy formulas. It moves quickly and does a nice job of weaving together two story lines involving an elfin world that is threatened when a giant tree, known as the Ellcrys, begins to die." [41] And Variety wrote: "Sure, Shannara, which harks back to the golden age of syndicated genre fare, is a standard quest journey in which there are troll, gnomes, living trees and magic books, and characters say things like, 'If Allanon is here, there are dark days ahead.' But there’s conviction in the show’s execution." [42]

TV/Movies / Dominion Fans Page by invisibleman2: 6:06pm On Nov 10, 2015 |
Based on characters from the 2010 hit
theatrical film Legion, Dominion is an
epic supernatural drama set in the year
25 A.E. In this transformed post–
apocalyptic future an army of lower
angels, assembled by the archangel
Gabriel, has waged a war of possession
against mankind.
The archangel Michael, turning against his
own kind, has chosen to side with
humanity against Gabriel. Rising out of
the ashes of the 25 year-long battle are
newly fortified cities which protect the
human survivors. In Vega (formerly Las
Vegas), the largest of these cities, two
houses vie for control and the stage is
set for political upheaval and a dangerous
power shift. Meanwhile, a rebellious
young soldier begins a perilous journey
as the war between the human race and
the fallen angels hell-bent on their
domination escalates. Well, Dominion , that’s one way to end the Lady of the City’s reign. Yep, Vega’s leader Claire Reisen was one of the many fatalities claimed by the Syfy series’ Season 2 finale, shot to death by Duma, the violent angel sharing a body with her father. (If you’re new to the show, now would be a good time to hit Google.) The hour also found: * David Whele choosing to stay in the city where his son died rather than escape to relative safety in Helena with Arika. (Whele later was brought in front of the Duma/Gen. Riesen dyad, where it looked like things would not go well for him.) * Alex performing a mass eviction for the first time, with those he saved going on to stick around and fight the 8-balls on his behalf. * Lucifer, via the Prophet, ridding Gabriel of the darkness… and then later being revealed as needing Alex to complete his Voldemort-like return to corporeal form. * Alex professing his love for Noma, who later reveals herself as being #TeamLucifer, thanks to the sweet new wings the Son of the Morning gave her. TVLine caught up with series creator Vaun Wilmott to get his take on the packed episode, whether Claire is really and truly gone and what a possible Season 3 will look like. Read on for the scoop. |

Politics / Buhari's Victory Another Man Trekker On His Way To FCT by invisibleman2: 3:25am On Apr 27, 2015 |
Following the successful trekking of Suleiman Hashimu from Lagos to Abuja , another die-hard supporter of President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, identified as Abubakar Duduwale is set to walk from Yola, capital of Adamawa State to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja. Duduwale who is from Yola North Local Government in Adamawa State and Chamba by tribe told newsmen in Yola today as he commenced his journey that the adventure was to express his joy over the emergence of Buhari as president-elect. According to the News Agency of Nigeria, he began the journey at Yola Gate on Yola-Numan highway at about 6.30am today. He said he had wanted to start the journey a day after the Independent National Electoral Commission announced Buhari as the winner of the March 28 presidential election, but noted that somebody from Lagos pre- empted him. “The reason why I am trekking from Yola to Abuja is to express my joy and solidarity with President-elect Muhammadu Buhari. “I want to trek from Yola to Abuja to witness the inauguration ceremony of President-elect,” Duduwale said. The other trekker, Hashimu, became famous when he was spotted in Lapai in Niger state and got a befitting welcome from the people of the state. He stayed at the Lapai palace for two nights and continued on his journey. An Abuja businessman was said to have paid N550,000 to cover one week’s accommodation and food for Suleman Hashimu at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja ahead of his arrival. It is worth mentioning, that Hashimu’s journey has triggered mixed reactions among Nigerians. |

Family / How Will You Handle This Case? by invisibleman2: 6:21pm On Apr 26, 2015 |
A woman tells her husband that she was visiting her sick mum in the village....She left on Friday and returned on Sunday, with lots of fruits and food stuff, telling the husband they're gifts for the family from her mum in the village. The husband gently asks her about her mother's health, and how she was doing, to which she replied that she took her to the hospital in the village, and she is recovering and getting better.The wife adds that her mother insisted that she must re-visit the village in a few days, to spend at least a week with her."I'm worried about Mama..." the wife crooned, with tears swelling in her eyes. "She'll be fine, dear." Hubby lovingly replied. The husband then politely asks her to take the items to the kitchen...As she enters, she saw her mother preparing food in the kitchen...Apparently, her mum came visiting since the Friday that she left home.... You can imagine the plight of this woman... stuck, shocked, dazed and dumbfounded at the kitchen door...... whether to go in and drop the items 'from mama', or return to her hubby in the living room.....!!! How would you handle this case....? |
