newnumber6I've seen a lot of these links posted around, but this one's allegedly legal (sadly, link doesn't work in Canada, but you can still use the other link that was floating around like I did - if you want a link, comment).

You can watch the 3rd season premiere there, through MSN. I suppose it doesn't have the thrill of doing it illicitly, though.
Anyway, my not-spoilery-at-all-really thoughts behind the cut.
I thought it was pretty good, overall. There was some obvious effort to make it appeal to new viewers, so to most of us it almost feels like 'just another episode', but I still liked it more than the S2 opener (though S2 did have a better 1st episode ending). I was kinda hoping for more things like flashbacks.
The new characters are okay so far but haven't had a chance to grow on me yet, but they actually made me feel for Dick a little for the first time.
Oh, and they changed the credits and song slightly (song's still the same, but a new rendition of it)! Frak! I liked the old credit scheme much more, and the old song slightly more. I just don't groove to it quite the same way.
Oh, and weirdness... just after watching the VM premiere this morning? I watched the Deadwood eps I recorded last night. Said eps? Featured Kristin Bell as a guest star. It was a bit weird to see her. I kept expecting her to uncover all the mysteries for everyone. And hey, for a while there all I had to do was add some imaginary starships to have a fandom trifecta!
Edit: Oh, and Heroes was on last night, so since I'm doing a TV post, I'd better post about it too.
I liked it, on the whole. Sure, it was corny and too expositiony at times, but I still liked it and am certainly going to stick with it. And the introduction of cheerleader girl - even though I saw it online in a preview, I still think its one of my favorite introductions of a superheroish character ever. It reruns tonight apparently, so check it out if you haven't yet.
