Persons Unknown - 1.07 Smoke and Steel

So what happened to Joe? Do I care? I don't know. I'm still not sure I like this show which might have something to do with not being sure if I like ANY of the characters.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - 6.16 Change of Heart

I rather like this episode or maybe I just like Dax and Worf and the newlywed angst. It was a good episode that established them as a married couple and explored what it meant to their careers and lives. The fact it addressed why Worf was not being offered commands of his own was a nice bonus to the episode.

I believe I learnt more about Miles during this episode's B plot line than the previous one's (Honor Among Thieves) A plot line, too.

Four spaceships out of five.

Supernatural - 3.03 Bad Day at Black Rock

Bela's first episode. I enjoyed this episode more than I remembered and to be honest, I always liked Bela.

Star Trek - 2.07 Catspaw

A Star Trek Halloween episode complete with scary noises, witches, ominous warnings, black cats, a magic wand and mysterious, powerful beings. I felt sorry for Spock during this entire episode. Star Trek cliques include: Kirk seducing the female alien and skimpy costumes for the female actors, Best part is the reveal at end of the aliens' actual form being a strange, blue, bird like creature that most resemble a bad, kid's art project. One spaceship out of five.

Star Trek - 2.06 Doomsday Machine

Why in the world would Kirk stay behind on the damaged ship to prepare it for being towed? Wouldn't an extra engineer make more sense, especially with Scotty present on the damaged ship if command decisions needed to be made? After that little logic dilemma this is an enjoyable Classic Trek episode despite the Doomsday Machine looking like a deformed, space-faring log even with the special effects upgrade. I love Spock's line: "Vulcan's never bluff." Yet another transporter malfunction - given the transporter's unreliability why would anyone rely on it?

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - 6.15 Honor Among Thieves

I'm just not a big fan of O'Brien episodes and this is probably my least favorite. I'm not sure if it's lack of character and plot developments or that it's biggest long term effect is yet another thing for O'Brien to feel guilty about.

Haven - 1.08 Ain't No Sunshine

Okay, I think I was actually falling asleep during tonight's episode and I don't believe my cold is completely to blame. However I was intrigued by the ending and the fact that Nathan was able to feel Audrey's kiss on his cheek.
