Some TV thoughts.
Nov. 17th, 2009 02:30 pmLet's start with the biggest, most recent (except Heroes which has gone dumb again)...
Doctor Who: The Waters of Mars.
It was... okay. Started out a little lame (the monsters were not terribly entertaining, but then they didn't have to be, they were just a sideline to the main thrust of the plot). Started to get good towards the end. And then, RTD drops the ball again. (Spoilery thoughts ahoy) ( Read more... )
What else? Heroes? Not the greatest, more "out of nowhere" stuff in the last episode, but I've lost interest. Most of the time I half watch while reading on the net, now.
V, I should apologize for: After making my post about how it seemed "too" like the original, I went and looked up a plot outline of the original, and it seemed that my memories were a little muddled, and they have made some substantial changes, probably about the same amount as BSG did. I still wish they'd gone FARTHER, but I can't fault them for not changing it up at all. It's mildly enjoyable, but still falls a little short of where it should be.
Stargate Universe had a little milestone in its last episode (spoilers): ( Read more... )
My other shows I'm still watching, but don't really feel the need to comment on.
Edit: oh, and the "First Lines" meme in one of my last entries is feeling neglected. Of the 10 books who's first line I posted, only one was guessed. Come on, I know some of them are pretty obscure, but I know there are some SF readers on my list and some of them should be pretty easy to guess for them (and one or two, even for non-SF readers)!
