New on telly

[wiseheart]

I've watched "Lie to Me" tonight... and actually liked it, even though Kelly Williams was the only actress I knew of the whole crew. I don't buy the ground idea of the series, actually, but they play it nicely enough. At least the cases aren't as bloody, sick and sadistic as in "Criminal Minds", where I do love the crew to pieces but can't stomach the brutality any more.

Today's SGU episode was abysmal, though. There were nice shots about the sun and stuff, but the plot was incredibly lame, Lt. Scott is the new Kirk, all women are either incompetent or whores (with the exception of the Blonde Bimbo, who's clearly a robot), and I just can't be bothered to care for them.

IOA representative is, of course, incompetent, selfish and manipulative, little Chloe throws herself at two different men within ten minutes, cuz' she needs to be coddled, the poor dear, the male lead is stoic and manly (and boring), so... no, unless there will be drastic changes, I'm not gonna like SGU.

Well, at least it's something new.

Sounds like SGU is even worse than I was expecting from the (small amount) I'd already heard about. That's a pity, although I wasn't expecting much from it.

If you know what's good for you - stay clear of it. If curiosity gets the upper hand, have a bucket handy. You'll need it. :(

I'll probably end up watching at least the first few episodes at some point (but probably not until it is out on dvd here, as there doesn't seem to be any sign of it being shown on terrestrial tv), but I'll remember the warnings.
