Who is Ryan Thomason?

Husband, Father, Geek, Fancy Pants.

I'm a man of various talents, a master of none. Why? Well, maybe I just want to know a little bit of everything instead of honing my focus on a solitary subject.

WatchPlayRead has become an outlet for me to be myself for once in my life. When the kids are tucked into bed, and my wife has had her fill of me, the first thing I do is hop into WordPress and start working on articles that I hope will please you. In the end, that is all I hope for, is that you are entertained.

Merlin, The Series Finale

Yeah. This show has been over on the BBC since back around Christmas time. But, I like to watch Merlin as it airs on SyFy here in the states. The Series Finale happened over the weekend and while I’m sad the show is all wrapped up, I’m happy with the experience I’ve had over the past...

Now that there are only two more episodes left of Merlin on SyFy, The Drawing in the Dark sets the stage for the series finale…that aired in Britain on the BBC some 6 months ago.
