Weekly Rundown – 2/8/2009

Red Dwarf was great, and I can’t wait to see how the new material will work out. Love that show! Thanks for turning me on to that one 790!

The special ending of that Alien movie was about the only cool thing from the whole film, in my book. Just did’nt like it.

I couldn’t watch Dollhouse, I just can’t bring myself to watch it. I will agree that the show is already doomed. Sticking a show on friday nights, especially a new one, is a clear sign that no one expects the show to last or even be any good. Friday is one of the worst tv nights, second only to saturday. That’s when people go out. The add revenue just isn’t there like it is on Wed. and Thurs, or even Sun. All this also means that terminator is doomed too. And after last nights episode, I wouldn’t care at all.

I’ve watched every episode of that show. I may have said this before, but I watch it because there are some cool things in it. But I don’t consider it a part of the terminator mythos AT ALL! I just think of it as a show with some decent action that happens to feature robots disguised as humans and a mom named Sarah and a son named John. That’s it. But last nights episode had none of the stuff I’d grown to enjoy from the show. The action was lame, save for the Shirley Manson going ape-shit on that wherehouse. And the whole “John’s girlfriend” storyline is getting lamer and lamer by the second. And why the hell did they try to feature Kyle Reese? They had better not bring him back or I will be done with that show. That whole hallucination thing was a lame gimmick. I really don’t like the whole “John Henry” story either. It’s supposed to be a super smart computer system, smarter than any human that ever lived. But since they hooked the terminator up to it, it’s started acting like a retarded 5 year old. It’s freaking ridiculous. I’m giving this show one last episode, and if next friday is no good then I’m walking away completely.

I like Summer Glau and I like explosions and death, but not enough to put up with some of the crap they’ve been showing recently.
