Caught up with Walking Dead just in time to see the season 4 finale and... damn.

But where the hell is Beth?

Besides that... started out quite gruesome and dark and ended predictably, albeit it did leave me wondering what those in Terminus wanted.

Also kept it on for the Talking Dead aftershow thing while I resume my web browsing and I had no idea Rick's actor was British.

I didn't watch The Walking Dead, but I did watch Comic Book Men. Friends is on now

Oh, Agents of SHIELD, you silly television people. Pensacola has no horse racing tracks. Research, people, research.

Other than that, not bad. It's still far from a great show, but it's a worthwhile way to kill 45 minutes or so.

It's still better than the crapfest representation that was Pensacola: Wings of Gold, where Florida had mountains.

Although none of the ideas are all that original, for a TV series Almost Human is really high concept. It's absolutely gorgeous, even if the CGI is nowhere near modern movie standard. Blade Runner is my favourite movie, so it was especially nice that it seemed to take so much from Blade Runner, from the Replicant like Dorian, to the obsession with memories and the pounding rain.

Karl Urban is doing his best Keanu Reeves impression but half way through he gets partnered with the synthetic series DRN - or Dorian - and the show really comes to life. If you weren't blown away by the visuals, their relationship should keep you hooked all the same.

Can't wait to watch the second episode.

I enjoyed Almost Human immensely. It's a shame that Fox aired the episodes out of order here and stuck in a lot of breaks between them. I really hope it gets a second season pick-up. The dynamic of the show reminded a lot of the Alien Nation series.

I watched the first episode online as I know of no UK channels showing it does that mean they've possibly added the episodes out of order as well? Is it really obvious when it's out of order? I'd hate to unknowingly spoil myself simply because it's not uploaded in the right order because the schedule.

Are you watching it on Fox's website? It's not a huge deal, really. It's entirely (as I recall) character development moments and not major plot points, but it can be a little frustrating when the characters seem to backtrack on something for no reason. Here is the original intended airing order:

01 Pilot - (Aired in proper order.)
02 "You Are Here" - (Aired as episode #08.)
03 "Arrhythmia" - (Aired as episode #06.)
04 "Perception" - (Aired as #10.)
05 "Skin" - (Aired as #02.)
06 "Are You Receiving" – (Aired as #03.)
07 "The Bends" – (Aired as #04.)
08 "Blood Brothers" – (Aired as #05.)
09 "Unbound" - (Aired in proper order.)
10 "Simon Says" – (Aired as #07.)
11 "Disrupt" - (Aired in proper order.)
12 "Beholder" – (Aired in proper order.)
13 "Straw Man" – (Aired in proper order. - Season Finale)

Watched first episode of Shinigami-kun today and was pleasantly surprised to see Watanabe Shu in it. He was only the guy the main character for the episode had a crush on but it was still great seeing him outside of Kamen Rider.

Based on a manga of the same name that shares it's name, Shinigami-kun follows Shinigami #413(aka Shinigami-kun) as he preforms his duties of informing humans of their time of death with a cheerful 'Congratulations' and watch over them until it is there time.

The first episode has already made me cry, I mean any plot about a high school girl dying is obviously sad but Fukuko's devotion to her friend in the hospital despite having only three days to live was really touching. Ohno's Shinigami-kun manages to add much needed humor with his inexperience as a rookie. Like appearing on her bookshelf in her room trying to eat the raw crab(shell and all) he had sent to her asking why she liked such tough food.

Or when he drops his Shinigami notebook in the human world in the end obviously leading up to a Death Note Parody next episode. Which I can't wait to watch.

Just watched the opening sequence of "episode two" - what an amazing sequence that was, and it may or may not have been amazing entirely because of Darla Taylor - but I also soon realised that was Skin which should be episode five. So time to go watch episode eight...which should be episode two, this is gonna be hella confusing.

Been waiting for a new episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit after the GIANT epicness that aired a few weeks ago, hoping this coming Wednesday brings about the return of new episodes.
