TV - Fringe

It has been a while since a TV show actually grabbed hold of me and made me think or at least still made me think about it after the TV has been turned off. Of all of Abrams works this one is the most fun. Alias started this way but then dissolved into silliness. Lost just fell apart for the casual viewer. While this show obviously has ties to the X-Files and what made that great this one takes things a bit further and isn't has murky. Answers are doled out just enough to make you keep watching. The whole alternate universe is fantastic. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Loved the Twin Towers reference...wish I could travel there...maybe?

Terminator - The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Wanted to watch this series last year (it did start on my B-day!) but missed it and then didn't want to miss out so basically rented the first season DVD and watched all 9 episodes in a sitting. With the premiere coming out on Monday (9/8/08) and the fact I have a DVR I am set! No more missed shows.

Love the series.  Sarah is kind of a wuss not too happy with her characterization.  John is good but the show is definitely Summer Glau's show.  Plot points are good.  The one point I thought was the best ever was in the first episode when they sent a scientist back to make a weapon and another time machine.  Why don't they do that more?  Anyway good series and with Shirley playing a recurring role what more could you want
