The week in TV

ok this is actually the thrid time I've tried to post this post, thanks to my sucktastic internet browser  and crappier each time. basically I'm doing a post of what I thought of TV this week

Homeland- I really don't know why I'm watching this on Australian TV, probably because were still in non-ratings thus theres nothing else on, and I have way to much free time, but I am watching it. and really since I've already seen it, I can't comment on whats happened, although I think I am getting some of the more englishly metaphors and such better now, fantastic performance as usaul by Claire Danes, and I seriously want a friend like niguel. Seriously how did Carrie land him, she complelty awful, but niguel is just always there for her, and she is paying him, but he doesn't have to make him dinner, or stick around, if I was going to ship anyone, which I don't because it would demean the show, I'd think I'd have to ship Carrie-Niguel

Fringe- WOW, well I always love Fringe, but loved loved this ep! this I think is my favourite fringe, the mythalone, where we get a nice self-contianed story but some meaty mythology to sink our teeth into, actually I wasn't a fan of the case this time, mainly because I didn't like the bad-guy, but I really loved all the charaacter interactions, I think fauxlivia just sold the ep for me. She just walks in, bold as brass, "hi girls" to a room full of people who mostly hate her, then causly helps herself to leftover chinese. I know it would be uber annoying in perosn, but she's such a fun character, and Oliva is always so buttoned up, I just love her, also loved the astird-alt asdrid interaction, and how she screamed when meeting her double, Oliva is so right, why doesn't everyone else do that. Anyway, totally think this new obsever is evil, and shot Spetember, which in itself is a pretty evil act, but I think he's something along the lines of a rougue observer, or someone how wants to jump up the pecking order, because I thought that really was the feel of the ep, loved it and so excited for next week!

As those were the only new shows (and Homeland isn't even new) I contnued to catch up on the X-files, which is really like season -1 of fringe, if you backtrack mythology vs standalone. Its really good, but at the moment, its too standalonly for me to get that "OMG I have to watch" feeling, but still very enjoyable. I've also started watching SVU again. I really enjoy SVU, but like the X-files, it is very, very episodic. as in usally in even the most procedural of procudral TV shows, there is some follow over, whether its just occasional clue, or a scene at the end of the episode, there is an overarching storyline that usally builds to something, usallu revealed at the end of the season, but in SVU theres non of that. Which is good, because I don't really watch it in order, but kinda bad at the same time. It relies very much on character drama, and that's what draws you back to the next episode, and not plot lines, and I mean the show is good, like really good, its clearly has some very talented people behind the scenes, and so you want to come back for the character drama, but sometimes, just the shear number of episodes and no real thread is just daunting, so I always watch SVU in stages

I've also started, rather embarrassingly, to watch revenge. Its uber soapy, uber bad, but somehow so good. Its actually rather interesting, in a way that many shows have a 'case of the week' revenge has a 'revenge getting exercise of the week' were yes, once a week, someone gets burned, its only downside is, besides its ludricous plots and seeming amount of gun-wielding psychopaths that live in the Hampton's is that the main romantic couple is called Emily and Daniel, which is just awkward, but besides that, its still ludicrous but somehow enthralling
