In Like A Lamb Out Like A Lion

We are on the brink of a fantastic month of geek ladies and gentlemen.  I repeat a fantastic month of geek!  Which is super cool to say in a month normally dominated by college basketball and currently dominated by the election of a new Pope.  Let get through the minor news items, minor to me anyway, right away.  The month kicks off with what looks to be a sweet retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk.  Not my favorite of tales but it looks good enough to burn some greenbacks on some popcorn and I dig Ewan Mcgregor.  Then just a measly week later we get the highly touted James Franco vehicle Oz: The Great and Powerful.   A lot of people don't know that ole Frank L. wrote more than one book on Oz and although , if my memory serves, none of them where a prequel I am just stoked to see an expansion of this world.  There, now that that's over with let's move on to what is truly making this month the magical month it is going to be, it's just a shame we are going to have  to wait until  the last two days.  Saturday March 30 will see the return of the Doctor, complete with a new companion , resplendent in his bow tie.  Admittedly I'm  late to the good Doctors party but nevertheless the amount of weight this premier gives to March cannot be ignored.   However geek just builds from there because the month ends with a battle royal , clash of the titans , two shows enter one show leaves , fist fight , title bout for the ages.  The season three finale of The Walking Dead, and the season three premier of Game of Thrones arrive on our televisions at the same time, on the same day.  A predicament placing all of Geeknerddom on notice .  Who will it be?  Tyrion Lannister  or Rick Grimes,  Jon Snow or Daryl Dixon?  Thank God we have all whole month to make up our mind.  Thank God for DVR.
