TV Roundup

[kilroy]

In order of arrival:

Leverage: Sadly the worst episode to date in my opinion. I know it was shot early in the sequence and suffered growing pains, but it just was not good for so many reasons. I'm glad I already know what this show can do-- if this was the second episode instead of the seventh, I might have just walked away. :(

Supernatural: Creepy. As. Hell. I know they had to bang on the Dean-angst some more (it's tradition at this point), but the actual horror movie foundation was spot-on. I have a hard time complaining too loudly about the ten minutes of metaplot I didn't like when there's half an hour of microplot I did.

Battlestar: Proving once again that this is pretty much the only show on television that can make me shout "WHAT?!?" at my television-- and cheer out loud at things that are just perfectly appropriate-- in the same episode. The Kara revelation was perfect. The Ellen thing was perfect. They're throwing the last few jigsaw pieces in and I love it. I'm not sure what I think of the hardcore emotional stuff (I still can't get used to the Old Man drunk), but I admire the courage with which they approached it.
