( That Eleventh Doctor casting thing. )

Well, I have a feeling this will be a bit good.

Merlin was flipping excellent tonight. I didn't have especially high hopes for the series at first, but it's been consistently entertaining television since it began, occasionally reaching greatness like tonight's and in a few episodes prior. I'm genuinely sad that there's only one episode left - hopefully a second season will be on the way. ( Read more... )

So, friendlist.

Is Heroes truly, honestly, genuinely worth catching up with (keeping in mind that I only watched the first six episodes back when it first went out)?

When the last four episodes of my beloved Moonlight run out I'm going to need something else to keep me going alongside SG-1.

This is for my own reference more than anything else, as I'm watching so much stuff that I'm in danger of getting hopelessly lost and confused, so feel free to ignore. I'll update a lot.

I know it's never good to judge a series on its opening couple of episodes, mainly because they very rarely tend to be the best the show has to offer - but sometimes it's difficult to not judge... I mean, it's human nature innit? And in that sense I'm a bit disappointed that my attempt to re-evaluate Stargate SG-1 (blame the Atlantis cancellation) ( Read more... )

Beneath the cut is a mini-essay about the problems I have with the third season of one of my favourite shows, Blake's 7. I don't think any of you have ever watched it so feel free to skip it - it's just something I've wanted to get off my chest as fandom doesn't seem to agree with me. Spoilers, obviously.

My family have buggered off to Somerset for a week, leaving me in charge of the house and the cats. Awesome, right? Well, not if you've just watched three days solid of Sapphire and Steel, effectively transforming the most innocuous household object into a potential source of pure terror. Will my pillow turn into a murderous, frenzied swan and eat ( Read more... )

Today I discovered Chuck. It's fucking awesome and made of win and gold, so if you're yet to discover it yourself, you definitely, totally should.

I mean, the TV world needs funny, action-packed TV shows about a hapless computer nerd who gets top secret government secrets downloaded into his brain, right? With adorable characters? And Jayne from ( Read more... )

I've just embarked on my grand Babylon 5 rewatch (with The Gathering and Midnight on the Firing Line), something I've had in the works for quite a while. Looking back I realised it took me just over two months to watch the entire series back in 2006 and early 2007, which seems to me to be a ridiculously short space of time. On this occasion I'm ( Read more... )
