This is new to me, and bizarrely the majority of images it has are not one's I've had by mail!
A couple of funny ones:

Just when you think you've watched an archetypal filler episode, a 5 second shot of a pale man with no hair from episode 1(?) reminds you that there's a lot going on that you keep forgetting (just the teleported man from Germany who showed up in the previous episode, and who I'd already forgotten from when he first appeared).
Well worth a watch!

They cancelled Sarah Connor.
They cancelled Dollhouse.
They cancelled Firefly.
But just when you thought it was all over...
....
They bring back Heroes.
Make it stop! It horrifies me but I can't tear my eyes away!
I finally got round to watching the redneck episode.
Oh. My. God.
I always thought it was a stereotype, but no! It's the truth.
God help America...
Eastenders => Been going since Jesus walked the water
Coronation Street => Predates life itself
vs
Sarah Connor Chronicles => Cancelled
Firefly => Cancelled
Dollhouse => Cancelled
And no..
Survivors => Cancelled. The smartest program on the Beeb other than the Saint David Attenborough's stuff, and they bloody cancelled it... (wait for it).... just as it was getting really good!!!
Sod this. I'm off to find out what Ian Beale's been up to.
Sidenote: What is it with this blog? Nothing for months then three come along at once.
Take a look at the PoP trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8EA7EbFX4k
20 seconds in - it turns into Assassin's Creed!
I thought I'd give Fringe a shot after
A) Caprica finished (though I've not yet watched the last ep, so don't spoil it)
B) NCIS has been on-off-on-off for weeks (how on earth do the Yanks put up with that shit - it had two weeks off, it's back for 1 episode, then it's off again for another week or to. Fucking unbelievable. And that's a series that you can basically dip in and out of. No wonder scifi - with it's usual emphasis on background development, long story arcs, etc - gets cancelled so often - people never know when the next episode is going to be on! Rant over...)
C) FlashForward kind of lost me after a 2 month break or whatever it was (see point B rant above). I might give it a shot later, but .... maybe not.
And Fringe is looking good. 10 eps into series 1. Series 2 is finished (I think), and series 3 has been approved.
Fuck me... A scifi series that actually lasted three series. Impressive!

If any of you saw Dr Who the other night, that was the moment Matt Smith BECAME The Doctor.
I only have one thing to say:
Oh Wonderful Mr Tennant, I loved you in Casanova. I loved you in Dr Who. But Matt's filled your shoes adequately so far. Long may it continue. And I think the "if you value you continued existence, there is one thing you never, ever put in a trap.... Me!" line that Matt's got coming up, plus the "Blink" angels, I think it'll continue for a while.
Well done Matt!
