don't be dull, be fannish

Karl Urban is so incredibly sexy... *_* And now we will be having him on our screens every week! *_* I hope this is a hit, I really, really, really hope so!

Also, since I plan to sample at least 5 shows this fall, I decided to delegate a few oldies to DVD. I already did it with Psych (haven't seen any eps from S7) and now it's time for Grimm, Person of Interest and Castle. I have seen 1 ep from Grimm's S2 and it didn't really grip me. With Person of Interest, I haven't even started S2 yet. Not that I'm not interested, my plate's just too full. And Castle... the last ep I saw was 509, if I'm not mistaken. I just can't be bothered to catch up. So, DVDs it will be. Amazon UK usually drops the price to around 12-13Ł within a year after the box set's release.

I mean, I'm up-to-date with exactly 2 shows: Hannibal and NCIS:LA. And I would also like to watch some of the box sets that I own, like Babylon 5, Star Trek: TOS, Star Trek: Enterprise, The X-Files, Stargate SG-1, Leverage, Starsky & Hutch, The Professionals... I own all these shows in their entirety and I still haven't watched the DVDs, for Christ's sake. Something must be done about that! Not to mention the SCORES of movies on DVD.

And I'm caught up on S1, go me! Every time I watch it, I have to laugh because everybody and their uncle thought this would be one of the first shows canceled last year. And it ended up being one of NBC's most successful series. LOL!

Decided to finally catch up on Grimm. Yeah, I'm WAY behind on this show, obviously.

NBC renewed Grimm for S2: link! How awesome is that? *bounces*

Of the three shows that aired yesterday, I enjoyed Grimm the most and Fringe the least. Supernatural is closest to my heart, so I can't really be objective there ;P But Grimm! Man, that was fantastic!

This was a h/c fest! Girl-saves-boy! Worried partners/friends! It felt like Xmas again!

Overall, I'm very content with last night's programming :)

Grimm received a full season pick up from NBC: link!



Woohoo! Awesome. I wouldn't have thought I would actually enjoy this show as much as I do but it really deserved the pick-up. I love what the writers are doing with the mythology of the Grimm family and the Reapers.

Prime Suspect canceled: link.

Pan Am de facto canceled: link. No official report yet, but the show is only "technically being considered for a second season." Its ratings were really, really bad...

I didn't watch either show but I know that some peeps on my flist did...

TVLine about Fringe's grim future: link. Let's just say, only a miracle can save the show now. It's better to brace yourself and watch S4 as if it was the last one.

I expected more from this episode of Fringe, Novation. It turned out to be just another MOTW ep with very little focus on the main characters and advancing their story. This should've been the big reveal, the game changer, I expected to be blown away. In the end, I ffwded through some parts. I guess I'll be back to marathoning this show. I'm not sure I like how they handle this season...

Grimm on the other hand, I found really intriguing. It's very much like Supernatural, just with one guy with a regular job instead of brothers working off the grid. Horror slash urban fantasy slash cop show, IMHO. Kinda hard to pin the genre. But I like it. I like the partnership between Nick and Hank. Marie was kick-ass, literally! Sgt. Wu is funny. And Eddie's a HOOT! I just love the banter between Nick and Eddie - Eddie so exasperated with his "You know that we should be enemies, right?" attitude and Nick so earnest in his "But I trust you!" woobie way. LOL! This one's a keeper.
