I've been rewatching Fringe S1 because it was showing on Sky 1 this month. I (apparently naively) thought it would carry on into S2 and S3, but that doesn't look like it'll be the case. I tried watching Fringe when it was first out but it irritated me immensely, but this time around I'm liking it a lot better. So about the last third of the ( Read more... )

I've been watching Bones. I think I've seen all of S2, most of S6 and some of S3 and 7 (don't ask me how Living are showing this). Thanks to the excellent primer I had (thanks, Rynogeny!) I can generally understand what's going on. And I like it. Considering I tend to really dislike shows that seem incapable of writing romance without turning ( Read more... )

Apparently the US telly industry makes a shedload of pilots that don't get shown. Here's one of them: http://io9.com/5872010/watch-ron-moores-fantasy-cop-show-17th-precinct-and-see-what-we-missed-out-on (the full pilot ( Read more... )

Dear flisties,

If I'm going to start watching Bones at the start of S6 because that's where the show happens to be on some random channel, is there anything I should know?

Much obliged.

I don't know who's watched S6 and who hasn't, but my US DVD set arrived on Friday and I caught up with the last six episodes that haven't been show here yet. Wow. It got good.

( Still don't know who's seen what, so it's behind a cut... )

My digiguide has just updated and told me a date for Falling Skies (new scifi) on FX in June, plus SPN S6 in June. SPN is going on at 10pm - a bit late, but maybe Sky think their viewers are easily scared? Plus Lie To Me is definitely back in early June for the last episodes ( Read more... )

There's a lot of cancellations of US programmes happening, it seems. Yesterday I recorded the first episode of a new police programme: The Chicago Code. Apparently it's been cancelled. Tell me, oh flist, is it even worth watching it or should I just delete it from the box?

Apparently the whole Sky buyout of various Virgin channels has really borked things up. Supernatural has been MIA for months (expected in Jan / Feb as usual). Now it turns out White Collar and Leverage aren't likely to be coming back at all. We had S1 of White Collar and S1/2 of Leverage, but no more expected. Sky keep going on about their ( Read more... )

Saw an interview with Hugh Laurie which prompted me to try watching House again. It's still irritating ( Read more... )

There's actually very few programmes on these days that I avoid spoilers for. There's Supernatural and, er, hmm... I think that's it? Maybe. It's possibly because I just don't watch that much telly where spoilers would make a difference to me, or perhaps that I don't watch most of that telly very closely - I'm usually doing many other things while ( Read more... )
