Oh, now you’ve done it.

Merlin (the character) has really goofed this time. Never, never trust a little kid with eyes that blue (Damien, anyone?). This show could go on forever with the way they’ve set up the bits and pieces of the legend, and I quite like it this way. Sure, I’d rather have Lancelot stayed around in a featured role, but I like this quick-glimpse formula. Good week.

I’m going to go out on a limb as say that SGA sucked. I watched the first few minutes, the last few minutes and fast-forwarded through the rest. Michael, hostages, blah blah blah. Even though Michael may actually be dead (a couple years too late), I can’t care. Pity, really.

Now that Primeval (which I love, btw) has finished its run and Merlin is wrapping up, Saturdays are going to be terribly boring for a while. Robin Hood isn’t starting anytime soon and I’m dreading the weeks of no new shows to love.

In the last two weeks I managed to live through two school trips unscathed. Score! Ooh, and this morning, I got to have a nice coffee date with my Dad and Jamie. I’m such a sucker for seasonal promotions. I had the Pumpkin Spiced Latte and a Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin–and a lot of fun.

True Enough

I’m convinced that HBO’s new series, True Blood, is in fact, just Natural Born Killers with vampires. It’s got the same white-trash-montage in the credits and the same dirty feel. There’s plenty of gore, sex, and uncomfortable moments as the characters, none of which are particularly stellar, move among each scene with a low class desperation. That said, I won’t loop it, but I’ll watch it.

As for SGA, I’m glad it was canceled. This perverse sense of loyalty I have keeps me watching even though it feels like we’ve already seen every episode, some of them twice. Case in point: Last night, the team stumbled upon one of Michael’s labs. I’ve already said that Michael as an archenemy is a lame storyline, so imagine the fun of finding his lab, for the 2486th time. Wow. Actually, this episode was made better by the addition of a bunch of chicks, none of which we cared one bit about. Swell. Lest you think the fun was all wrapped up in last night’s episode, you get this to look forward to: Next week Teyla goes undercover on a Wraith ship because of her wraith properties…AGAIN.

I woke up to the news that SGA has been cancelled. Not cancelled, just, you know, not on anymore. This whole “we’ll make movies” garbage is not good enough. As much as I SG-1, those movies are rather bad. I can’t imagine the SGA movies will be any better.

I’m not surprised that the show was cancelled for a few different reasons. I’ve stated most of my gripes before, and I know a large part of the fandom shares them. When the heart of the show was removed, Weir and Beckett, the writers put themselves into deep holes and never really dug their way out. I guess in the end, the only things I’ll miss about Atlantis are the sets, Ronon (the eye-candy, not the role), Rodney, and the chance to get to know those kickass villains we only got a glimpse of. Oddly enough, I won’t miss Sheppard, who was the reason I watched in the first place. There has been almost NO character development in five years now, and without Elizabeth to humaniize him, he became some basic military guy.

Hopefully, we’ll have Eureka and Fringe around long enough to make me happy. Colin Ferguson says in his interview vid on Sci-Fi that they’re actually going to get an additional Winter run to go along with the Summer run, so maybe that’s good news. I still cannot say enough about how much I love Fringe. I just keep waiting for it to actually premiere so I can see new episodes.
