still on the fence with Fringe, seen both episodes and will watch the 3rd. Can't tell if I am going to love it or hate it, but it will probably end up being one or the other because it doesn't seem like a show where there is much middle ground. Very intense.

Well Heroes is back, and I watched the two episodes last night. Bit of advice for someone just about to do the same, it would be wise to watch the first two series' again, or at least read up on the plot, because I found myself a bit pickled and struggling to remember certain things about the show as it just springs character developments from left right and center at you that just don't make sense after a full year of the show being away. Peter at the end of the last show was somewhere in a future where a virus was taking over. In the first two episodes of series 3, it gives no hint to what has went on there. Such is the convoluted nature of Heroes, you seriously might want to take heed of my advice if you're looking to get back into the show.

Thankfully, it's not started how the second series did. That really p*ssed me off. It's shockingly bad how film makers decide to set their story somewhere in Ireland and yet decide to get half-ar$ed actors to do an Irish accent. It always comes out a complete mess, and usually sounds how most Americans thinkan Irish accent is "supposed" to sound like. The second series started off the cost of Cork. Have they ever heard a Cork accent? From that series, I'd say no. It was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off. I know I'm going on a bit about it, but if you're not Irish you wouldn't understand. Hollywood is constantly butchering accents from here and it really is insulting a bit. If you're going to make something based on this place, at least get actors from here or get someone who can do the fucking accent right. It usually ends up in a jumbled mess of sounding like a b@stard mix of English (somewhat), Welsh, Scottish, with a twang of Yankish and some German or Dutch thrown in for the f*ck of it. And if all else fails, sure just revert to the handbook of what all Irish from Ireland sound like for most Americans, and that's the Lucky Charms commercial.

its not exactly a new show but i've finally got around to watching the wire. absolutely top friggin class. brilliant stuff. even though i don't understand half of what they're on about, and have to keep stopping it every 3 minutes to try to explain to my spanish girflriend what's going on, i haven't enjoyed a series so much for ages. and there are still 4 seasons to go after i've finished this one. bliss.

Fox is an absolute joke of a network.  FACT. :no

On the upside, Supernatural Season 4 continues to be fantastic.  Can't wait for the 3rd episode tonight!  :buttrock

after the first show they showed a preview of the whole rest of the season and it looks like he confesses to somebody but you can't tell.  Will be interesting if he tries to frame that guy or if he tries and to prove that he was protecting himself, but then he would have to explain what he was doing there in the first place, which might force him into lying and saying he was there to buy drugs.

They haven't got a frickin clue really. They cancel so many good shows without giving them a chance. They go 2 weeks, don't get the billion viewers so they think it's shi.te!  :angry:

I believe that Terminator is facing the chop because it's not bringing in enough viewers for Prison Break which follows it on the US channels.  ???

Cracking logic there!! They seem to be ignorant to the fact that PB has been going down the sh.itter since they all broke out of prison at the end of the first season.
