we gotta go down and check the locks
I enjoyed Burn Notice: "Sins of Omission" very much. I don't have a whole lot to say except I'm really impressed with how they've integrated Madeline into the story this season, and how much better I like her now.

Sarah Connor Chronicles: "Some Must Watch, While Some Must Sleep"
Sigh. That was, no pun intended, a bit of a snoozer. No Derek! No Masonator! Barely any Cameron! What the hell? Even what appeared to be John's growing resolve and leadership skills were just in Sarah's head. I don't mind them bringing back crazy Sarah, but I would like them to advance the storyline in an interesting manner. And this was just... meh. Like, you have a strong cast of characters for Sarah to interact with. Why is she always off on her own with random one-off characters? Especially when they're not characters I find interesting. I liked Dorian Harewood. Why did they kill him off? Sigh. You know this show isn't going to get renewed, and that they're wasting so much time on rambly somnambulance really irks me.

Dollhouse: "Stage Fright"
Kellerman is still my favorite part of this show. Along with Harry Lennix. And Helo. Obvious reveals are obvious. And also anvilicious. At least this time, the dialogue had some Joss-like flourishes. But still, it's a big meh overall. Lametastic. I am annoyed that I keep watching, mostly because Alan Tudyk is going to be Alpha. *shakes fist at Joss*
Dear Joss,
More Kellerman. Less lameness.
irritatedly,
me
This is a good look at how "Dollhouse" compares to Alias and why it fails so hard so far.

Battlestar Galactica: "Someone to Watch Over Me"
OMG SHOW! *clutches heart*
Kara! Going through the motions! (Okay, now I really kind of want a Kara and Buffy vid, which I'd never though of before. Huh. I also wanted her to punch the mirror when she saw the reflection of her corpsified self. What? You wanted it too.) Is she really seeing this guy, or is she hallucinating her father? She's making me all sniffly with her talking about the song that made her happy and sad at the same time. Oh, Kara...
Oh my god, it IS her father. And I bet it's Daniel!
I love the toothpaste line.
Helo! Helo gets all her stuff back, because Helo is the BEST BFF EVER. *heart*
Hera! She's drawing stars! The path to a better earth!
Someone mentioned hooking Sam up like a hybrid. Yay!
I would like the pianoplayer more if he were Alan Tudyk, which I keep thinking he's going to be, and then he's not. Sigh.
Oh, Chief. You are breaking my heart. He switched Eights! Ahahahahaha! And now she's going to kidnap Hera! Or something crazy! Ahahaha! She's beating the crap out of Athena! Way to keep on the downlow, Boomer, you crazy frakker! You were playing them the whole time!
And when is Chief going to find out that Tory killed Cally? Why can't they airlock her? Gah!
Oh, Kara. He doesn't know that her mother broke all her fingers for playing the piano!
OMG SHOW! I love you Helo, but dear god, I hate that you don't know that's not your wife. And she has to sit there listening! GAH!
Okay, apparently that was music, not stars that Hera was drawing. awesome.
OMG! SHE REALLY IS KIDNAPPING HERA! She's going to take her to the base ship to plead for clemency. Or to blackmail them. Jesus, show.
And the music suddenly morphs into CYLON MUSIC! And Daniel isn't there now!
"I can't do it without you." "Yeah, you can." Oh dear god, SHOW. STOP HITTING MY BUTTONS LIKE THAT! Chief! I can't believe you're helping her kidnap the baby!
I think it's time for a vision of the Opera house!
HOLY SHIT!
IS ROSLIN DYING? I MEAN IMMEDIATELY, not like the long-term dying she's been doing since season 1. HOLY FUCKING SHIT!
OH GOD CHIEF!
GALACTICA! NO!
AND Kara is playing her dad's music for Anders, who was a musician in his earth life! MAYBE HE WILL WAKE UP!
JESUS FUCK, THIS SHOW! I AM STUCK IN CAPSLOCK! THAT WAS SO FRAKKING AWESOME I MIGHT DIE OF GLEE!
