SFF in review (spoiler free)

Sarah Connor Chronicles: John Henry is really cool this week. I don't hold faith that he'll remain so, but this week was ADORABLE. Sarah is made of jerky and rawhide, which is to say, tough as nails and then some. Male guest star's character was really good at his job; too bad about that other thing. Female guest star's character was several sorts of awesome, too; also, too bad about that other thing.

Battlestar Galactica: Yay! Yay yay yay! History! Backstory! Character insight!

Dollhouse: Holy cow, Eliza can really act! Also, someone who didn't realize this show appreciates the creep factor of its own premise didn't listen to the opening credits or the dialog of the first scene. I have high hopes for all of the characters.

Psych: Not the episode I would have used as to pimp this fandom. However, given a history with this show, it was pretty fun.

The People: the residents of Marathon Manor (both full- and part-time), and three guests. Yay guests who don't start fights with all the other guests! (Which is to say, B and I liked S and J and found A inoffensive.)


Tomorrow there shall be Numb3rs, and next week shall be much the same, only starting a bit earlier (to watch BSG live at 7 instead of 9) and with less pausing *glares at remote*

S has the most awesome car in the States!

SC, BSG, and DH were so awesome!

I'll take inoffensive.

I was quite impressed by SCC. I've missed too much of BSG to appreciate last night's episode, but it seemed a little too talky, with too much telling and not enough showing.

I like witty banter between comrades in my Whedon shows, and it looks like nobody in DH is going to be friends (except perhaps temporarily.) And I want more light and humor to balance darkness than it looks like we're going to get. (SCC got this right.) I might get into it later if the characters' circumstances change, which is a good bet if it runs more than a season (which is a bad bet.)
