Demons

[jacey]

Is it just me or was anyone else a bit unimpressed with Demons? I like Philip Glennister, but why, oh why, the terrible American accent? It's British made and set in Britain so why cast a Brit as an American?

Saturday night TV is almost bad enough to wonder if they're doing a third season of Robin the Hoodie.

And we haven't even got a full season of regular Doctor Who to look forward to in spring.

Agreed about the smiting. Who wrote that?

And in these days of superb professional vocal/speech coaching when Lena Heady (a local Yorkahire lass) can totally pull off the American accent for the Sarah Connor Chronicles, why can't a great actor like Philip Glennister do better?

I do love the Sarah Connor Chronicles, I hope it comes back soon. There's so little to watch on telly and it costs such a lot. I wonder when Torchwood starts.

I don't know about Torchwood. Soon I hope. This one is the 'five-episodes-in-a-week' season so that will be short and (hopefully) sweet. It's a pity this has happened for Torchwood in the same year they're not doing a full season of Doctor Who. It certainly minimises our telly watching.

Re the Sarah Connor Chronicles. I'm not 100% convinced, though I really like what Lena Heady has done with the role. I've missed a few in the second season and (possibly because it's a long time since I saw Terminator 2) I'm a bit adrift on the mythos.

Last year I was really looking forward to Pushing Daisies, but after the first two episodes I ditched it. The first episode was sweet the second was gooey sickly-sweet and after that it made me want to barf.

At this rate the best thing on TV might be the re-runs of Voyager season five on Virgin (which I never saw in the first place). Now that's a sad indictment.

I just bought the third season of Deadwood on DVD. Now there's something that's not sickly-sweet.

Aaaargh - all over in a week! BBC I hates 'em, I hates 'em.
Ahem.
I don't really care if the SCC isn't entirely consistent with the films, Assassin Robots From The Future - what's not to like?
Heroes has gone a bit strange, but I have hopes it will improve - when it comes back. I liked Pushing Daisies but don't think there was enough in it to sustain it for long. It was interesting seeing The Pie Man playing a sinister role in The Good Shepherd.
I saw Voyager all the first time round, I think I've seen all of them a few times now.
I shall go to see the film when it arrives and this weekend I shall persuade Spouse to take me to see the new Daniel Craig - yum - film. Bones isn't back, Fringe isn't back, Heroes isn't back, SCC isn't back, aaaaaaah!
I should be writing, I know.

Maybe it's nature's way of telling us to write more.

Ha! If so, Nature can be such a bitch! :)
