11.00 The Six Million Dollar Man
The Big Bang Theory. Season 3, Episode 5. "The Creepy Candy Coating Corollary" Wil Wheaton
It's great to see Wil Wheaton and I hope the show brings him back, but this episode is surprisingly light on laughs. Maybe because I was looking forward to it too much?
Torchwood. Episode 8. "They Keep Killing Suzie" Suzie is alive. Again.
Another episode where they Torchwood crew create their own problem-of-the-week, but - having said that - this is a truly superb episode. Indira Varma is a great foe, and Suzie is revealed to be much more sinister than we first thought.
Legend Of The Seeker. Episode 17. "Deception" Richard undercover.
Absolutely superb. Possibly the best episode so far and an episode which expands the world of LOTS and the type of stories that can/will be told here. There's a dark and downbeat side to the story, with a good man dying a needless death and it's makes the perfect point.
Don Hany makes a great guest star, too.
Supernatural. Season 5, Episode 1. "Sympathy for the Devil" Lucifer is out!
Mark Pellegrino makes a strong impression as a character called Nick who is approached/tempted by Lucifer, while the boys adjust to the aftermath of what happened in the old convent. Good opening episode, which maintains the momentum of the story from the previous season.
Parks And Recreation. Season 2, Episode 6. "Kaboom" The pit gets filled, but Andy gets injured.
Back on form. It's funny (unlike last week) and it appears as if two major storylines are being moved forward.
The Office. Season 6, Episode 6. "The Lover" Michael is dating Pam's mom.
And Pam goes crazy, because of it. With some of the best laughs coming from Jim's reactions to his crazy wife. It was all a bit over the top, I suppose, but Jenna Fischer was funny.
The Six Million Dollar Man. Episode 4. "Population: Zero" The entire population of a small town is lying in the street, what happened...?
Super start to regular series. Unlike the first three movies, this looks and feels exactly like the television series that would follow. Steve Austin is totally in character now, he's heroic and likable, he's modest and charming, and most of what makes him the hero of this story has nothing to do with the bionics in him. It's all about how he deals with the problems he faces.
Don Porter makes a great bad-guy, his character has been well fleshed out and is very interesting, and Penny Fuller is a good girl-of-the-week for Steve to befriend.
Highlight? Legend Of The Seeker (dark and downbeat)
