Enjoying Misfits season 1 on Saturday. Missed it the first time round because I never heard of it. The DVD for the 2nd season is due out in December which means it will be on TV soon. Not long to wait after catching up with the first season.

The mechanical timer did the job but was a bit too noisy.
So I replaced it with this.
I shall find out tomorrow if I managed to program it correctly

My SKY HD DVR needs to be rebooted every day or it develops issues like not recording things. To avoid the hassle of digging around in the cable mess behind the home theatre I plugged it into a RC socket so I could reboot it by remote control.
However remembering to do that every day was a bit of a pain so today I swapped in a timer switch to reboot the box at 6AM every day (a time I’m never recording anything at anyway). Lets see if I got that set up right

Luther and Fringe both had their season finales on HD channels last night. Luther ended on a neat cliffhanger and Fringe had a typical JJ Abrams style twistiness (although I don’t know how much he actually contributed to the ep).

The dogs are walked; I’ll eat a Scotch Egg and pour a Guinness and settle down to watch the final two episodes ever of 24. Will it improve on the run of poor endings I’ve seen?

It wasn’t as bad as the ending of Battlestar Galactica. It now seems the somewhat rushed and muddled final season wrap-up of Buffy The Vampire Slayer is about as good as it gets in ending TV shows. But I haven’t finished watching The Shield or Six Feet Under yet so they may surprise me

So I’ve rebooted the Sky HD box so that it’ll probably work and I should be able to watch it tomorrow after we get back from Pip’s dog training class. Now I just have to remain spoiler-free tomorrow until then

He’s the troubled cop investigating heinous crimes and she’s the evil genius with a love/hate relationship with him who will no doubt help him figure out some of those crimes in future episodes even as he still tries to collar her for the murders she got away with.

HBO greenlights ‘Game of Thrones’ to series
Winter is, indeed, coming.
HBO has greenlighted highly anticipated fantasy series “Game of Thrones.”
The premium network has picked up the project for a first season debut next spring (below is the first released photo from the series). Nine episodes plus the pilot have been ordered. Production will begin in Belfast this June.
I’m thinking this must be rather condensed to fit that few episodes.

Take your latest CGI of an improbably-hued accretion disk and shove it. I wanted to watch future or other-world parents ragging on their conflicted, rebellious teenaged offspring;

I’ve seen the first few episodes of this now, and it’s very good. Good enough that cancellation is inevitable I fear
