Because I can’t always be riding my bike:
Pushing Daisies – Bronwyn’s parents showed us an episode of this in 2007, but we only finally got around to watching it late in ’08. It’s a modern fairy tale, visually stunning and full of great over-the-top characters with a surprising amount of depth. Who knew death could be so entertaining? Such a shame that it’s slated for cancellation. Why does this always happen to the shows I love.
Teminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles – I needed something to fill the sci-fi void that Battlestar Galactica had left me with. While this show is far from perfect, it’s still a lot of fun to watch and quite addictive. Plus it stars Summer Glau kicking ass. As a Joss Whedon fan there’s no way that can be a bad thing.
Moonlight – An absolute guilty pleasure. The show is long over, but Bronwyn and I only recently finished seeing the entire series. The show was bad. Really bad. But, and again here comes the Joss Whedon love, I can’t say no to a vampire detective in Los Angeles. It was a poor replacement for Angel but a replacement nonetheless. Seriously, though, what good is a vampire show where the vampire can walk around in the sun, isn’t killed by pointy pieces of wood, and can enter houses whenever he pleases? In other words, break all the rules. It’s the rules that make the genre interesting. The series was cancelled, not surprisingly, but if there were more episodes you’d bet I’d watch them.
