It was Phoenix tonight and I actually worked up the energy to attend. There was a discussion of TV show which prompted me to think that I should update my watching notes. Not that there is much going on - northern hemisphere summer means not many new shows. Burn Notice was mentioned during the meeting and from my viewing it does seem worth watching. The premise of a spy who has been kicked out so he has to make a living as a person who helps people out is an old one. But the execution looks to be excellent with some top casting and a snazzy line in voice overs. By the way, it is really quite funny. The second episode wasn't as good as the first but still looks worth a watch.

I gave Jekyll a second chance and I'm glad I did. There has been a lot of care and attention been lavished on this show to make it really interesting. Again, the casting is excellent.

I had a brief nostalgia moment today thinking about how much effort we all put in to get fifth generation VHS tapes of shows within only a couple of months of them screening in the States. Today I watched the first episode of season 2 of Eureka about 3 hours after it finished screening in the States. Y'know this has been possible for a while now but it still impresses the heck out of me.

In the time between the original post and this comment, I have watched all of BSG season 2. I'm not sure that all that emotional intensity in one big hit is a good idea.

I managed to escape the Lost trap early and am steadfast about never watching it again otherwise I am sure I will be sucked back in.

Something else"? - like write a book, compile an atlas... :-)
