I'm watching the cardboard box episode of Primeval right now. Based on warnings, I went in with looooow expectations. In that vein, I'm charmed by the unintentional funny.
eta: At least it's better than Relic Hunter or summat.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
The charm of the actors is the only thing that makes it worth watching. And the unintentional comedy abounds!

Yeah my Mom told me she watches that Adams family like thing that was canceled. I, very intelligently, said "what?" She said, you know the vampire sit-com. Moonlight...
Now she has me wondering if I missed the whole point of the series. Maybe it was intended to be funny...

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Like in "The Producers"? maybe if people thought it was supposed to be a comedy it'd have been a hit ... and be on for years.

I am bummed at the major character loss in S3E3 of Primeval. But...there's a dragon in the one I'm watching now...so, eh. What can I say, I'm easy.

Yep, Eureka tonight!
Mo Ryan at the Chicago Trib gave it 2 1/2 stars, but she's not a huge fan of the show. She wants it to have more of a season-long story arc to give it more substance. Also, she thinks that James Callis's character accent is throwing off his timing, because she thinks his performance is a bit flat .

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, there is, if memory serves, stuff that happens that changes shit big time for the season. It's a start.
Right now, I'm very interested to see what Amy Berg has wrought upon the show. She comes from good stock.

I'm psyched for it. I won't see it live, though, more's the pity.

Okay so... the big break-up happens as a clip in the intro? What's that about, Eureka?
