BB S3 on pre-order from play.com. Not too long to wait, though why it's SO far the USA I don't know. Not on Netflix either...

True Blood is pants. I watch it but it's just daft.

Whats the Jack Bauer effect?

I'm watching Grimm, Alcatraz and Touch at the moment.

Grimm is good.

Alcatraz is ok & shows signs of going somewhere.

You might want to check on that one.

Touch suffers from the Jack Bauer effect. We had a slight touch of that in the episode last week.

Torture, extreme violence.

I thought the JB effect was you expect him to be JB in Touch but he's not?

Stop posting and watching other things until you've all caught up on The Shield.

That is all.

I'm sure I heard it was canned, but since I can't find corroboration we'll hope that's not true.

Sometimes it's best to wait until series 2 before starting to watch some of this stuff.

i.e. Flashforward.

Though it must be said that watching the last 10 minutes of "Lost" would have saved 119 hours of my life.

Although Flashforward only lasted one series it was still enjoyable.

As for Lost... I thought the ending was alright, it tidied everything up and was reasonably happy.
Trying to end a long running series is always going to be difficult though, sopranos and BSG both had controversial endings

I thought the ending to Lost was terrible, and didn't explain anything. It was a massive let-down, however I enjoyed most of the show so am glad I got into it when it was first happening.

But then as a sciencey person I don't like stories which end unresolved, I want to understand everything.

Alcatraz is showing signs of going the same way as lost.

Grimm is stepping things up a little after plodding along for quite some time.
