Stargate Atlantis - 1.18 The Gift

The residents of Atlantis prepare for the Wraith assault and Teyla suffers nightmares.

I found the therapy sessions rather boring, but I usually do. I liked the disagreement between the scientist and soldiers about the prospects of holding the city

The ending was less than conclusive.

Jarek and Caleb investigate a bank robbery.

Eight out of ten.

True Blood - 2.06 Hard-Hearted Hannah

Sookie goes undercover with The Light of Day Institute to find Godric. Tara takes a road trip with Eggs.

I found the flashbacks with Bill and Lorena rather boring, but Iam intrigued by what Maryann is so the ending made up for it.

Star Trek: Voyager- 5.26 Equinox, Part 1

Voyager comes to the aid of another Starfleet ship in the Delta Quadrant, the USS Equinox.

V - 2.01 Red Rain

The world's skies remain red and no one but Anna knows why and she isn't talking to world leaders or her own people. Ryan is exiled to earth while Anna keeps his daughter aboard her mothership. Chad attempts to find redemption.

Seven out of ten.

V - 1.12 Red Sky

Erica is invited to dinner with Anna, Lisa and Tyler aboard the mothership and she intends to destroy Anna's soldier eggs. Val is in labor.

The Ending was ominous, but not frightening or very curiosity building. Would have been better if I understood the consequences of the red sky or if I felt characters I cared about were in jeopardy. Please reference the Battlestar Galactica season one finale for how to do this properly. (or season two or three).

Stargate Atlantis - 1.10 The Storm

A massive hurricane approaches Atlantis, triggering an evacuation.

I missed this one the first time through. I think I may understand the next episode better now.

I got bored of the repeated scenario by the second time through.

True Blood - 2.04 Shake and Fingerpop

Sookie, Bill and Jessica go to Dallas to investigate Godric's disappearance. Jason is recruited into the Soldiers of the Sun. Maryann throws Tara a birthday party after Tara moves into Sookie's house. Sam and Daphne become further involved.

I liked that Sookie found another mind reader but I felt a lot of this episode was filler and future story building.

Seven out of ten.

The Borgias - 1.01 The Poisoned Chalice & 1.02 The Assassin

The Pope passes away and a new one is elected. An assassination attempt is made on the new Pope.

Interesting show, but ease of watching would be increased by informational graphics for the characters, a la Burn Notice.
