kribuTorchwood still doesn't seem to have an official premiere date or time. And it's rumoured to be only about two weeks off... BBC really likes to take its time with making up its mind, it seems! Saw a trailer yesterday at last though, and... hm. Not the most dazzling trailer ever. If I hadn't been curious about the show before, I don't think that trailer would have caught my eye at all, let alone make me interested or intrigued. Maybe it just caught me at a bad time though.
Lost - season 3 has started, and looked intriguing enough to keep me watching for now. I don't feel hyped about the show anymore, but it was okay. Still curious as to whether we'll ever get any answers about, well, everything. Or anything.
Battlestar Galactica - the makers of that show don't like words like "hope" or "laugh" or "fun" or "light", do they? I didn't think a show can get any grimmer than it was last season, but seems I was wrong. Still, the grimness was oddly captivating, so as with Lost, I'm intrigued enough to keep watching. Adama should get rid of the moustache though - it sort of suited Edward James Olmos 20 years ago, but doesn't look very hot these days.
Robin Hood - so-so. I didn't find it as horrid as reviews/opinions had led me to suspect - was fine as 45 minutes of entertainment in the sort-of-traditional way. Robin's such a boy though (no offence to Jonas Armstrong, he was actually far better and more likable than I'd feared, but I do think the casting was a little off), and not just because he seems so young. Guy of Gisbourne's much hotter, and that's disturbing. (As a side note, why couldn't they have picked Richard Armitage for Robin instead? At least he looks like a man and might have seemed convincing as someone returning from five years in the Crusades, instead of us getting someone looking like a young bloke returning from a few days in a pub.) Not sold on the Sheriff yet - okay, the Sheriff's often been portrayed in a massively camp way without me complaining, but this particular version isn't appealing to me.
On the other hand, while Robin didn't blow me away, at least nothing there actually irritated me... which is a bonus, when compared to the second/twenty-eighth season of a certain other BBC show. Will keep watching, hopefully the direction will improve from the pilot and the actors will start feeling more comfortable in their roles soon enough.

Date: 17 October 2006 18:25 (UTC)Saw the first two episodes of Lost, and I kind of like them. Seemed more promissing than the second season (though I did like the last few episodes of the second season as well). I liked the "what the hell is going on" feeling, I just hope they know what they're doing (which I think they probably do).
Haven't seen BSG yet - haven't really been in the mood for it yet. I am curious though, and will no doubt watch them sometime this week.

Same here. I've been a bit too busy to be hyped about anything much lately, but I seem to be getting back into series mode now that things have calmed down. I'm quite curious what the tone of the show is going to be like. And I don't mind seeing Captain Jack again either :-P
