Woo-hoo! Unscheduled SGA!

[daemonluna]

Apparently, SGA 2x09 aired tonight in Canada. (On some upper tier pay-type channel we don't get.) It's up on mininova.... yay!

And queenzulu has to come back over tomorrow to watch it.

Tomorrow night's TV:

ASAP: Stargate Atlantis (Because every once in a while I should actually specify what SGA means)
6:00: Bones (That new cop show one with the forensic anthropoligst and David Boreanz that was vaguely promising but not amazing from the pilot)
7:00: Supernatural (genuinely creepy show about ghost-hunting brothers that seems to be using fairly authentic folklore for its ghosts.)
8:00: The Sentinel (Reruns on Space! What fanfic doesn't capture is how much this show loves to blow things up...)
9:00: House (Hugh Laurie snarks!)

Except that we can catch watch Supernatural at ten if we can't fit the new SGA ep in before Bones. Hooray for catching both the east and west coast feeds.

And the-show-formerly-known-as-Rick-Mercer's-Monday-Report is also moving to Tuesday. EVERY SINGLE SHOW I want to see is on Tuesday night.

Except SGA usually airs Friday. And we just caught the premiere of Kitchen Confidential tonight. (Which I should tell ming_lei about. And that she did return troutkitty's copy of the book. Which I think she lent to drakkenfyre.)And This is Wonderland reruns really are airing on Wednesday nights, and just not showing up in my TV listings.

Um, yeah. My occasional media junkie tendencies are showing.

Supernatural was pretty lame. I did a bit of a review here. If you do insist on watching it, however, it reruns Friday nights on Space. And while I didn't watch all of Kitchen Confidential, it's no secret that it's yet another American bastardisation of a Canadian show, in this case the brilliant Godiva's, with the humour but none of the drama. Sure, there were a couple of funny-ish moments, but having seen the original I can't help but consider it a watered-down rip-off.

The thing that I like about Supernatural is that they seem to be fairly accurate and authentic in the folklore that they're drawing on. (Vanishing Hitchhiker, La Llorona, and the Wendigo so far!) That doesn't usually happen. Plus, the stuck to the ceiling bursting into flame thing was actually pretty creepy. Whether they develop any sort of interesting overall plot, and whether or not the paper-thin characters annoy me enough to stop watching it altogether.

I assumed Kitchen Confidential was based on the book Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bordain...

I find that with the strike you can't trust any of the listings for CBC these days, hence the Wonderland confusion.

Did you try Surface last night? I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised. Which maybe says more about my expectations for new SF-type shows being low than saying anything about the show being well-done. Still, they didn't really botch anything. Yet.

No, I did not see Surface. What's the premise? We'll have to watch for it, and be glad that it's not on Tuesdays, like every other show I want to see!

The premise of Surface is the sudden appearance of a new, and very large, life form in the ocean. From the first episode, we are left with a lot of questions, namely:

-did these critters evolve and we are just now encountering them, or are they here from another planet? The end of the episode, showing a massive meteor shower striking the ocean probably answered this.

-What do they want? It's not clear if they are hostile or not at this point, although apparently one of them did try to take a bite out of a submarine...

-How long has our government known about them? Because, ya know, its not a good SF TV show without the government conspiracy...

-Why would a creature capable of living at incredible depths (about 8,500 feet) lay its eggs on the surface?

-When will the show totally fumble the biology and other scientific aspects of this concept? At that point it is doomed in my household, as I did marry a science teacher.
