  1. I watched the short promo for SGU. Obviously somebody's been watching tons of BSG. Heh. So given that TPTB have managed to cheese off both SG-1 and SGA fans in the not too distant past, will there be enough of an audience left to watch it? Oh hold on. This is going to be on SyFy, isn't it? That means tons of non-geeks will now be tuning in! "Well this seems like one of those science fiction shows I'm not really into, but I'm not watching the SciFi Channel. I think. [squints at SyFy logo] Nope. Okay, I'm in!"

  2. I watched all of Spaced. While I liked it and enjoyed it, I can't say that it was true love. It's definitely worth watching though, which is rare to say about any show these days. I'd describe it as mixing the rapid-fire pop culture references of "Gilmore Girls" with "When Harry Met Sally" while on welfare. And crack. (Which is a completely overused term these days, but does apply to Spaced.) I don't think I could ever not adore Simon Pegg, and this was my favorite Jessica Hynes role I've seen. (She usually plays someone you want to smack around, but Daisy was lovable.) Here's a sample clip if you're interested.

    ETA: I just realized, there are three DW people in that clip. :D Simon and Jessica, obviously, but also unexpected Master! :D

  3. Do I remember someone saying that the Marple stories are worth watching? (The ones with Geraldine McEwan.) I'm looking for new Netflix stuff.
