It’s never a good sign when I forgot to set the DVR for a show – surely a strong indication that I can live without it because the story/characters aren’t compelling enough to register as a blip on my short-term memory. Yeah, yeah I know there is a nifty little thing called a Season Pass [...]

Monday Season Pass: House Episode by Episode Probation: Terra Nova Guilty Secret: Castle I really hope that this is the final season of House.

Since my monthly Netflix payment is going up, and I need a push to review the stuff I’ve seen I figure that a monthly review is a good way of making sure I am still getting value for money from Netflix. DVDs: Nights in Rodanthe – Awful, awful film. It’s all about “old” people finding [...]
Dear Syfy, you are not breaking my heart again
Posted: 08/12/2011 in televisionTags: Eureka, save eureka, sci-fi, syfy, television
Oh Syfy, you’ve managed to go and do it again haven’t you? Broken my heart but this time it’s for the last time (unless you team up with Ronald D. Moore again). Caprica and Stargate: Universe were cancelled because there weren’t enough people watching them, and now Eureka got the chop because even though there [...]

Between Alex starting a new job, and my inability to be on my feet for any length of time I think it’s safe to say that we’ll be having a pretty quiet summer. Netflix, TV and air conditioning will feature heavily (as will iced coffee, cake and swollen ankles) but given that once our little [...]

Monarch of the Glen

Last week I was searching for something light and fluffy to watch to help me unwind after a hard day of trying to understand silver epic (my current bete noir) and I stumbled upon Monarch of the Glen on Netflix Instant – perfect. Though if I am honest I much prefer Hamish Macbeth to MotG [...]
