No problem. Yeah, the ball pit is classic! This show speaks to me on so many levels. All the references from comics, to video games, to Sci Fi, to collectible trading card games, it's all great stuff. The show knows its audience. It plays on stereotypes a lot, but it's a comedy, so that doesn't bother me. I think some part of the show would appeal to a lot of people on this forum.

Ah, BBT. You and your conflict with Community are what's causing my DVR to overload.

And anyone else watching (potentially the last season of) Fringe? (And anyone laugh out loud at the Firefly reuinion on last week's Castle?)
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.

Yeah, I'm still loving Fringe. Though it's weird the way they've rewritten the timeline. It's like they rebooted the show. It feels a lot like DC's New 52 comic book reboot.

Friday's are like geek nirvana. Fringe, Nikita and Supernatural are all good genre shows. I hear some rumblings that Nikita's future may be in question due to so so ratings. I hope that show gets renewed. I really wish more people would watch that show. It is soooo good and Maggie Q works hard and takes a lot of pride in that show. If you look online and see the reviews the average Nikita episode gets it's obviously a quality show. Check out the scores in these reviews.

I hear good things about Castle. I have seen two episodes of the show and I thought they were good, but it just doesn't scream must see TV to me though. I think Nathan Fillion is a cool guy though and I am glad he has found success with that show. I need serialized story telling though. Procedurals don't do much for me. As a Whedon fan, I see Castle as sort of the Nathon Fillion version of Bones, another show featuring a male actor (David Boreanez) who once starred in a Joss Whedon TV show. Both shows seem to revolve around a male/female couple solving crimes and catching criminals while dealing with their relationship. Glad David and Nathan are doing well

Fringe renewed. Phew. I'm not sure what they're planning with this weird timeline though. Okay, so olivia has become his version, but what about walter? If the show ends without things getting back to how they were I'll be disappointed.

So next Sunday is the season finale to what I view as a very strong first season for Once Upon a Time. Wish every show came out of the gates kicking ass like this.

And damn, Supernatural continues to be great. I'm so glad that show found its mojo again. This season went from crap to awesome. I heard next season (renewal with this show is all but guaranteed) is switching show runners though....again :?

and for the five people besides myself watching Nikita, I love seeing this "family" she is building up around her now. Another tense and exciting episode last Friday for my favorite, "no filler" spy show.

I love TV right now

House is way to close to ending... I've watched every episode, ever. EVER. That show started when I was 10 or so? I've seen every one though.

I now, it's awesome! And his back story ties into things we've seen before. They seem to connect characters and their storylines together the way Lost used to do, but, unlike Lost, this show is quick to provide us with answers to things and doesn't let the story get too convoluted.

I thought the whole scene on the water looked amazing! Nice use of special effects or CGI for that part!

Wait until you see last night's episode! The flash back storyline for the episode is very epic and has a lot of action.
