BSG Season 4 Teaser, and other rants on TV
First up, the excellent teaser for the final season of Battlestar Galactica. I must say that those guys at Sci-fi really know how to make good trailers. This is a teaser for fans of BSG- those who have never watched a single episode won’t get it:
And now that TV season is over, with episodes of LOST and BSG not expected until 2008, here are some thoughts on this season’s TV series:
Heroes Season 2: sophomore slump. Season 2 was truncated by the WGA strike, but even then, the story arc was disappointing. Annoying new characters, and poorly developed plotlines. When one of the most beloved characters, Hiro becomes boring because of the extended jaunt through ancient Japan, you know that Season 3 had better buck up. Biggest disappointment with Heroes? They didn’t kill off the twins. I was so happy when Sylar killed the last of the annoying twins but they had to resurrect her?!?!
House Season 4: Awesome. By boldly firing the staff and adding new blood, Season 4 of House is one of its strongest yet. It brings new ideas to a predictable formula and the series just rocks. However, now that the 8 episode recruitment arc has ended, i wonder if they will be able to keep things fresh?
Dexter Season 2: Goes from strength to strength. One of the best shows available, Michael C Hall has once again been nominated for Golden Globes Best Actor in a Drama series. I hope he wins (either that, or Hugh Laurie for House.)
Pushing Daisies Season 1: A nice, quirky series. I love the Amelie visuals, but the series lacks the high points and the really good episodes to hook audience. Still for a new series, its very promising.
Reaper Season 1: The first 2 episodes were absolutely brilliant, and laugh out funny! But after the novelty of the premise wears off, the series becomes somewhat formulaic. Still, the series has alot of potential and i hope it gets better.
Journeyman: One of the positive side effects of the WGA strike is that i am checking out new series i wouldn’t normally have time for, and Journeyman is one of those interesting new shows. I am halfway through Journeyman, and i am intrigued by the characters and love the soundtrack. Too bad that Journeyman will not be renewed for a second season, but this is definitely worth a look.
