I think that they need to get away from strict reproduction of the British original.
I'm going to say the same for Eleventh Hour- I'm watching the British version and it's excellent and the US first episode is exactly the same. . . only not as good.
Oh, yeah, baby, it's snakalicious in here.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The aired pilot of LoM was...fine, but it made me long for John Simm and Philip Glennister.

I haven't seen the Brit version of this, but it reminds me of how the US Coupling was nearly unwatchable if you were familiar with the original. And not for being objectively bad necessarily, but you just can't get into it with both tracks running in your head.

that's how I felt about Eleventh Hour. As much as I like Rufus Sewell, he just can't compare to Patrick Stewart.

Eleventh Hour is . .. odd. It's episodic but it's 4 90 minute episodes. Did Patrick Stewart not want to make anymore of it? Or was it cancelled?

The ending of Chuck was awesome.
I think Fringe is hitting its groove. That was one sweet teaser. They're becoming better at being XFish!

X-Fish?
Now mammel.
I loved the ending of Chuck.
I'm pissed off at my tivo for recording Fox instead of Sciffy and making me miss the penultimate episode of Charlie Jade.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Chuck got a big upgrade on its fight choreography this season. The scene with Anna was awesome.
