Timelies all!

I'll have to partially agree with Gus. I've been basically disappointed with the stuff I watched on TV this past year, and that =includes= Veronica Mars. The only show I've been watching that hasn't disappointed me is Doctor Who.

(waiting to see if Gus, or anyone for that matter replies)

Ok, I have the lurve for the New Season 1 Doctor.

Veronica had some slow arcs, I'll grant you. Compare it, though, to the who-gives-a-honk-who-dies of Lost.

I have missed the beginning of most eps, but I still like Bones. House can be repetitive and predictable, but it's nice if you only see it every few eps or so. And, Grey's Anatomy is a guilty pleasure. If I weren't so cheap, and had big basic cable, I would also enjoy SG-1, SG-A and Dr. Who, and might even give BSG a try, even though I didn't much like the miniseries.

On the positive side, not having lots of must-see tv, I've really gotten my money's worth out of Netflix.

I was into Lost last season, but when they broke their promise at the end, it became dead to me. If I hear it has a good ending, I may watch s2 on DVD.

I am fond of Medium. Jake Weber is adorable and they seem like actual married people, with talking things over in bed (to which he wears boxers, like most guys I've known who wear something to bed) and juggling errands in a morning rush and clearly loving and enjoying each other but not flirting 24/7.

And of course House.

What was the promise? I can't even remember.

See? Serious case of X-Files- itus.

Seriously, what was the Lost promise?

Gus, I'm loving Veronica Mars. I've just started rewatching S1, straight through. When I'm done, I'm going to watch s2 straight through, and see how much of the pacing problem feels internal to the story, and how much was due to the wacky scheduling.

I'll agree on the Chris Carter-itis of Lost. Why am I still watching it? I don't really know.

With Veronica Mars it's not so much that the arcs were slow, as they were badly paced, and often scattershot. (There's also the problem that I seem to be the only one online who a)doesn't care for Logan b) doesn't want Logan and Veronica together and c) is really sick of the Logan-the-woobie pile-on. Hmmm, I think I see a pattern emerging :) )

I've had enough TV to keep me busy. I dropped a few shows with either a resounding clatter or nowt but a whimper (Desperate Housewives, Smallville, Without A Trace), watch some with mitigated enjoyment (Veronica Mars, Lost, The OC), and look forwards to others (Grey's Anatomy, The Unit). I was sad for a cancellation or two (Kitchen Confidential rankled), but it's not significantly better or worse out there than it ever was for me.

I'm looking forward to the summer season: The 4400, Dead Zone, Eureka, etc.
