I really enjoyed the last Battlestar GaLostica, flashbacks and all. And yeah, that scene with Starbuck and Adama was intense. I thought they did a very nice job with the attitude change after that conversation as well, because it could easily have come off as really forced, and it didn't strike me that way.

I liked the way Clark was with Alicia. I think, that if she had been a little more patient -- there would have been no need for the red kryptonite of roofieness.
I don't get the idea of them getting married -- that's just weird, and yeah, Ma Kent's reaction was stupid. Why wasn't she more angry with Alicia?

MI-5 - BTW, interesting how they cast someone who resembles Zoe so much to play Danny's love interest (Harry's daughter).

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
What kills me is the DS9 episode "Trials and Tribblations" where they firmly establish that yes, in fact, Star Fleet went through a period where that's what the outfits looked like, rather than try and wank it out like it never happened.
And now that Enterprise features very functional, militaristic outfits, you really have to wonder what that particular period in Federation fashion history was all about.
Well, Enterprise also mucked up the Klingons in that "T&T" established that, yes, the Klingons used to look like TOS Klingons (one of the great throaway jokes in that ep - "We do not speak of it!"), and then Enterprise has to go and use the current Klingon makeup. Feh.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
NBC has announced and posted clips from the US version of The Office. About the only positive I can see offhand is that it stars Steve Carell. Although, watching the clips (I think you have to use (or at least spoof) IE), it does look amusing, keeping a lot of the original while still making it American.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Huh. That looks like less of a disaster than I had imagined.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I've only seen the pilot, and it wasn't nearly the disaster I was expecting. Steve Carrell is perfectly cast, and they've managed to do a decent job replicating the rhythms of the original. I'm curious to see how good the original scripts are (the pilot is essentially a shot-for-shot remake of the British pilot, after that all the scripts are original).

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Brilliant or no, I don't know if I can bear an entire show based on the idea of watch-from-the-hall. Clearly, I am the wrong demographic, since I also do not watch humiliation-reality shows.

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'
Was it common knowledge that Peter Wingfield's going to be on an upcoming episode of Smallville? Because I just found out and have been squeeing for a while now. I haven't watched an episode this season but that's going to have to change.
