I don't know for me it lacks an intrigue. And it's more or less predictable, that now he's going to save lives of those who actually want to live rather than those who can pay for it and end up complaining. That tenis "pro" girl needs some serious reality check.<br /><br />Though I did watch it until the end, I am not coming back to it, not even for Julie Benz.<br /><br />p.s. I find pilots this season to be very disappointing...Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00850180685928453849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-55938251442876341212011-09-26T08:10:09.532-04:002011-09-26T08:10:09.532-04:00not too sure on the terra nova premise- cuold turn...not too sure on the terra nova premise- cuold turn out sharp and savvy. I do love the sci-fi genre shows, more than the horror-zombie shows. UK being human excellent. walking dead being well done, but I don't know if it will stay on this side of the zom-pocolypse line. Falling skies was pretty well done, actually. More and more of the quality shows are on the cable networks. game of thrones- blew me away. loved it! <br /><br />But there really isn't too much good supernatural right now ( not the supernatural) stuff, that is well done. None of it delves into lore, cultural and/ or anthropological- most seem to go for shock value and gore. My deal re he vampire thing, is that it is a huge reflection on where our culture is at. Vampires literally feeding off of others in order to survive. We in western culture have become energy-junkies. war for oil, undocumented workers, and fast food.. all reflect our inability to connect with our own sources of power-energy and taking advantage of what we can beg, borrow or steal:)<br /><br />enough on that soap-box though. I will probably check out terra nova, because I think it does have some of the quality names behind it. And I will be patiently waiting for the next Great show to come along. The next BSG, or LOST. Or even something like Saving Grace, which was never afraid of delving into our shadows/ characters shadows. <br /><br />Looking forward to what you see in the next AGM episode, and will take a look at your other reviews.<br /><br />TeriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-12868971384026875222011-09-25T20:45:55.173-04:002011-09-25T20:45:55.173-04:00Hey, Teri: This season, I'm reviewing Superna...Hey, Teri: This season, I'm reviewing <i>Supernatural</i> and <i>Dexter</i>, and the premiere only of <i>Terra Nova</i>. I'd really like <i>Terra Nova</i> to be good because I seem to be majoring in vampires these days. Love vampires, but I also love sci-fi. Here's what we're all covering this season:<br /><br /><a href="http://billiedoux.blogspot.com/p/fall-tv-2011.html" rel="nofollow">http://billiedoux.blogspot.com/p/fall-tv-2011.html</a>Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-70414191574679788512011-09-25T20:26:07.053-04:002011-09-25T20:26:07.053-04:00Heya Billie,
Are you planning to tune in next fri...Heya Billie,<br /><br />Are you planning to tune in next friday? if so, maybe we should book a chat session for the episode, lol:) <br /><br />I will probably stick with at least a couple of episodes.. every hopeful.. but it also could depend on whether the pilot was actually the best bit of it. <br /><br />I do also appreciate that no really good show, with VERY few exceptions, are a hit out the starting gate. west wing, battlestar galactica, and a couple of others come to mind. The real question is- will the execs and creators be risky and daring and take the chances with being innovative and original- or will they stick with safe, staid, safe-predictable... <br /><br />Remember, even shows like NCIS- which, while predictable and procedural, is a solid hit for the network-- did NOT become a success overnight. It crept along very quietly for several years, collected a slow following and them wham. <br /><br />Let's hope AGM can evolve and develop and that they do not continue to play our stale stereo-types;)<br /><br />nice to meet you. looking forward to comparing notes. what else are you looking at this season?<br /><br />TeriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-41443998014672340512011-09-25T17:18:42.685-04:002011-09-25T17:18:42.685-04:00Thanks for your comment, Teri.

It's unlikely that I'll review more than the pilot, unless I fall in the love with the series.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-16956690704269226832011-09-25T16:06:24.383-04:002011-09-25T16:06:24.383-04:00Yeah- Right there next to you on this one. I like...Yeah- Right there next to you on this one. I liked ghost whisperer- the early seasons, and really liked Medium, as it was mostly handled in a realistic professional manner. And noting this along the " I don't care for procedurals" caveat:) <br /><br />I enjoyed watching this show, but as I sat down to review and recap, I found myself inserting more corrections and suggestions, than raves and praise. <br /><br />I have trained as a medicine person, so I had a particular interest in this show. I don't know what the long-term aim is: what they hope it will become... I was hoping for a show that would be edgier and delve into the nooks and crannies of both the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of Life.<br /><br />If you're interested- I did explain and overview the Shamanic-healing aspects of the show http://beingherd.com <br /><br />I hope this show takes that leap off the cliff. I suspect it will try to tiptoe around the edges of the esoteric, whilst still catering to the mainstream procedural audience. I suspect audience looking for more and more of the really innovative shows will be migrating to the cable channels:) <br /><br />I'll give this a few episodes and see where it goes.. and will be really interested to see what your take is on them as well.<br /><br />btw- WP login being a bit dodgy. very strange. sorry if anonymous login is a nuisance. <br /><br />TeriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
