I love watching the tellybox. I always have; as a child it was a dream of mine to be on the show Telly Addicts because I knew my family and I would have no problem winning it. Plus, I would have met Noel Edmunds too, but that's by the by. When you find a tellybox programme that you enjoy, you tend to give it your all, whether it's EastEnders or My So-called Life or Breaking Bad or ... whatever. I suppose it's a bit like a relationship. At the beginning you throw yourself into it. You fall in love with all its quirks and flaws. You laugh at its jokes. You cry when it's sad. You defend it when people just don't seem to understand it. You get butterflies in your tummy when you know it's nearly time to see it again, and then feel miserable when it has to go home to bed. But as with any relationship there comes a time when you start to notice the flaws. It may start to confuse you, or not act in the way you thought it would. Maybe it stops entertaining you, or it seems too fixated on one thing. It just stops making you as happy as once it did. And those flaws ... I love The Walking Dead, but I'm wondering if we need a short break from each other, find some way to spice our relationship up again. Maybe we need to go back to the beginning and experience those wonderful first days again, when everything was so much simpler and compact. Safe. You know, perhaps a time when they didn't employ fifteen year old work experience lads to do the CGI. That deer! That green screen background! is it a plane? Is it a bird? Is is a spaceship? No, it's just a piece of editing that went wrong! I shall say it again, Oh, deer!
