Posted December 4, 2009 Two and a Half Men Watched the first 3 episodes of the first season. Darn good sitcom starring the Sheen as Charlie, the man who has an overpaid job and a beach-side house. Cannot believe this season has a 15 rating, season 2 has a 12 onwards. 9/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 5, 2009 (edited) Dollhouse - The Public House / The Left Hand Kicking up the gear a lot, it kinda feels like the middle of a movie. It had its own episodic parts for the most part it was two hours of a bigger story. With added Summer Glau, Alexis Denisof and Keith Carradine goodness Cindy as a doll seemed a bit obvious but glad it turned out to actually be Daniel, which was quite a surprise. And not just a Doll, but a semi-Doll. The way they explore the tech (and the manipulation of people) in the process is one of the most interesting things about the concept of the show...shame they seldom touch upon it. Victor as Topher was great, and makes a lot of sense that Topher would leave himself in charge in his absence. Enver did a great job picking up the mannerisms. Although we were really lacking Sierra in these two episodes. Glad they didn't make Glau a doll, its a bit obvious. Nice to see her show more depth, and what an interesting character she was. Would like to see more about her past with Caroline, as it still wasn't fully explained really. The way Rossum played Perrin, right through to the end, was really interesting...and twisted. So they're programming a president, as Topher said; "not the first time". It seems Madaline may become a doll again, while Echo is on the run. The fact that Echo doesn't want Caroline to return is fascinating. She has created her own existence and she knows she will have to kill one of herselves. Can't wait to see the remaining 7 episodes.

Posted December 5, 2009 Ooh! Dollhouse is back?! *goes to investigate* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 5, 2009 Do you know when its back on UK tv as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 5, 2009 "The show will return [to Sci-Fi] with three new episodes in January 2010" So I'm guessing the 2nd week of Jan. Although that was when it was announced that the American hiatus will have a knock on effect at the end of Oct, nothing about it since so it may have changed.

Posted December 5, 2009 (edited) Dollhouse - The Public House / The Left Hand These two episodes, along with the one before the break, have definitely been the best three so far. I would say more, but it's essentially a repetition of what Ashley said. I really liked how this episode delved even more into what a doll was, and how they feel/think. Edit: I've been looking for the next episode of V...apparently it's on a break until the end of March. There's only been four episodes...

Posted December 6, 2009 Yeah that was always the plan for V, the first 4 were kind of like a mini series Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 6, 2009 (edited) Actually I think they originally planned to just start outright in the midseason, but for whatever reason ABC bunked up a few episodes. Silly people. Rewatched 30 Rock - Audition Day yesterday. Kathy Geiss as SuBo is genius. Edited December 6, 2009 by Ashley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rewatched 30 Rock - Audition Day yesterday. Kathy Geiss as SuBo is genius. You sure? I thought id read somewhere that it was to kind of mirror the fact that the original only started with a mini series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 6, 2009 Hmm looking into it apparently they did consider doing smaller "pods" (as they call it) of episodes. Although to me that seems more like "yeah, we love the crazy scheduling with elongated hiatus due to the fucking Winter Olympics." Which reminds me; Human empathy is as useless as the Winter Olympics...here on NBC this February. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 6, 2009 I hate these long hiatus' now. I was saying in the Stargate thread that theyre just annoying, especially for a new show like that which needs to keep people interested. That isnt coming back until April now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 6, 2009 What channel is that on? NBC is fucking everything around due to the (largely unwanted) Winter Olympics and Leno (okay he has nothing to do with hiatuses but still...). But yeah, you think they'd learn after the writer's strike. Keep something off air for months and nobody'll care. Glad I have Big Love and Chuck to keep me happy during Jan/Feb.

Posted December 6, 2009 Its on Sci-Fi (I refuse to call it SyFy). Yeah im glad Chuck is coming back early, still one of my favourite shows at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 6, 2009 Hmm well it may be affected by the Winter Olympics too (as they a subsidiary of NBC) but I can't see them showing Olympics on there...I dunno. Too lazy to check into it all really. You seen all the Chuck promos knocking around on the net? A surprising amount of promotion from NBC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 6, 2009 Beautiful People S2E4 This series is starting to go downhill fast. I didn't enjoy this one. There were a couple of laughs and the ending was alright. 6/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 7, 2009 Desperate Housewives - Boom Crunch The last two minutes had me watching with my mouth wide open glued to the screen. Amazing, amazing, amazing. So annoyed I have to now wait (How long Ash?) until I find out who makes it out. (That doesn't need a spoiler tag, right? I didn't give anything away.) So happy the storyline with Catherine has come to some kind of conclusion too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 7, 2009 Dollhouse - Left Hand pt. 1 + 2 It stunned me. This and the one before, Belonging, have actually been brilliant. Which makes me so angry at Joss Whedon for not making this good earlier! The themes of the show that are so interesting but never really expressed themselves well really came though. Ideas of identity, memory = life or death etc. Summer Glau was awesome as the anti-Topher. 8.9/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 7, 2009 Dexter Season 4 Episode 11 Gah! I HATE American TV show promos. Accidentally watched the promo for this that was tacked onto the end of episode 10 and it COMPLETELY ruined the episode for me. Spoilt the last moment entirely. Thank god there wasn't a promo for the finale tacked onto this episode. Roll on next Monday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 8, 2009 Gossip Girl Season One Episodes 1-4 I've wanted to start this for so long it's ridiculous. I think I've seen episode 1 about 3 times now! Anyway managed to get past that and I'm now about to watch episode 5. I am enoying it thus far. Phew! Just in time. Exactly one week later and I've finished Season 1 and 2 of Gossip Girl. I LOVE IT. on with Season 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
