A brief television post, now Who is done till Christmas...

Oh David. Oh Bob. That's all I'm going to say about the ReGenesis season finale, at least outside the comments. ;)

Meanwhile, where summer tv offerings are concerned:

- Burn Notice hasn't started out too bad despite the fact that Gabrielle Anwar needs a) to eat a load of sandwiches, and b) a load of acting lessons and/or a good dialect coach. Jeffrey Donovan and Bruce Campbell are great, as is Sharon Gless, but GA is just awful and even looking at her makes me wince.

- Psych is back next week! And Tim Curry is guest-starring in the season premiere! Woo and indeed yay!

- Entourage keeps giving me the whole E/Vince thing, which can never be bad.

- Dexter gets its UK premiere tonight, on FX. Brits, this one's for you! Enjoy! ;)

Gabrielle Anwar was awful in The Tudors too. And her bad acting standing out in such an awful cast is quite something!

Should I check Entourage? I'm finding out that I tend to like HBO's shows, except for The Sopranos. I adored Rome and now am quite hooked to Big Love, and the hollywood setting of Entourage sounds interesting.

I really like Entourage, mostly because of the relationship between E and Vince but also because of Jeremy Piven as Vince's agent. It's clear it's been created by people who know how Hollywood works, though it's half hour episodes and that means 22 minutes in real time, which is annoying when you're waiting on it a week at a time.

We're in season 4 now and it'll make much more sense if you start at the beginning. Also there's a lot of swearing, in case that's something which is an issue...

I found the torrents and I will get the show. I think I'm going to like the Hollywood setting, and the reviews are all very positive.

Nah, swearing won't be a problem at all. May even learn a few new words. ;)

Dexter is an amazing show, and I sincerely hope the second season is as good as the first.

I second your oh David and oh Bob. ;) I'm also working on a huge batch of ReGenesis icons at the moment, but since my eyesight is a bit wonky on the whole light/dark issue in the migraine aftermath I'm waiting until things calm down to finish.

- Burn Notice hasn't started out too bad despite the fact that Gabrielle Anwar needs a) to eat a load of sandwiches, and b) a load of acting lessons and/or a good dialect coach. Jeffrey Donovan and Bruce Campbell are great, as is Sharon Gless, but GA is just awful and even looking at her makes me wince.

I think GA is beyond the help of just sandwiches. She needs to be force fed a few pastries too. It was just painful to look at her, because she looks anorexic with her bones practically sticking out of her skin.

I've always liked Donovan, Campbell and Gless (and find it amusing she's cast once again as having a son named Michael), so I'll just overlook GA as much as possible. It shouldn't be too hard, I've been doing it for Sam Carter for years, so I've got practice.

- Psych is back next week! And Tim Curry is guest-starring in the season premiere! Woo and indeed yay!

It's going to work out well for me because I can watch Sci Fi's run of Doctor Who to see if I catch more subtext about Mr. Saxon et al, then switch over to watch Psych.

- Dexter gets its UK premiere tonight, on FX. Brits, this one's for you! Enjoy! ;)

I haven't seen this one yet, but it's out on DVD next month, so I'll definitely be checking it out then.
