Hawaii Five-O - 2.02 Ua Lawe Wale
A 15-year-old female paddle board champion is kidnapped at a competition. The governor assigns a new officer to the Five-O.
I kept dropping off to sleep but that may have been a lack of sleep and not the show.

Pan Am - 1.01 Pilot
A Pan AM flight crew breaks in a new cutter jet on its maiden from New York to London.
I can't see the attraction. I'm not a fan of the time period nor did I like any of the characters. I just keep on thinking the CGI budget could have been used to a good SF series.

Doctor Who - R6.12 Closing Time
The Doctor visits Craig and his infant son and discovers something unusual going on in their neighbourhood.
I liked Craig with the Doctor, but I still wasn't sure what the Cybermen were doing there in the end. How many times will the great Doctor Who villains be defeated by love? First the Daleks and now the Cybermen?
So what has the Doctor been doing for the last 200 years? A two century good bye tour?
I think knowing the Doctor is going to die is starting to bore me, especially after it was the theme of the last Tenth Doctor specials. Maybe they should try to surprise us with the ending instead of letting us know ahead of time. I've been avoiding spoilers lately, but I feel like the show itself has been spoiling me.

Person of Interest - 1.01 Pilot
Mr. Finch offers Mr. Reese a job preventing crimes in New York city.
A different concept which is interesting enough to tune into again. Reese is suggestive of what Michael Westen from Burn Notice would be like if the people who had burned him had eliminated Fiona, Sam and his mother, but I find his viciousness disturbing. The voice-over explanations also remind me of Burn Notice, but the explanatory title on the characters may be the device that may have proven more useful.

Warehouse 13 - 3.03 Love Sick
Dr. Vanessa Calder, the Warehouse physician, asks for Artie's help with A CDC case where people are being transformed into clay. Pete and Myka wake up naked and together in Artie's bed.
Lindsay Wagner and Rene Auberjonois guest star, Yay! I really like how this show uses experienced actors effectively. The B plot with Steve, Myka and Pete seemed like a waste; I didn't learn about them or the Warehouse in the process except for being introduced to a few more objects in storage.

Castle - 4.01 Rise
The squad deals with the fallout from the shooting and their new captain.
Guest stars Michael Dorn, yay! And Penny Johnson and Victor Webster which make it a SF guest star trifecta.
The long drawn out surgery scene was boring not dramatic. I was rather disappointed with this episode, which I was really looking forward to. I guess my expectations were too high.

A week after Wo Fat murdered the Govenor, Steve is in prison, accused of the crime as his mentor, Joe White, arrives on the island.
A nice action packed episode with a neat twist at the end.

Ringer -1.01 Pilot
Bridget, a recovering addict, is in protective custody waiting to testify against a mobster in a murder trail and goes to visit her twin sister, Siobhan after a long separation.
That I knew Siobhan was alive from the get go isn't the best sign but I'll probably try it again next week.

Warehouse 13 - 3.01 The New Guy
As Pete is having a tough time dealing with Myka's departure, a new agent, Steve Jinks, joins the Warehouse.
I rather liked Artie's simple one word reaction to Myka's return - "Good".

Doctor Who - R6.11 The God Complex
Amy, Rory and the Doctor become trapped in a hotel where the rooms contain each person's worst nightmare.
After this episode, I just feel mildly ripped off that I didn't find out what was in the Doctor's room.
Oddly, I don't feel that bad about Amy and Rory's departure from the TARDIS except for the fact that Doctor tends to become unbalanced when he travels by himself. You'd think the Doctor would know that by now, that he needs a companion, that the best way to keep everyone in the universe safe is to have a companion, even if he keeps losing them. He should just consider it the lesser of two evils. I'm actually kind of hoping for a regeneration soon as I'm not that crazy about Eleven's persona or companions at this point.

Supernatural - 7.01 Meet The New Boss
Castiel takes his new position as The Lord.
One of my favourite episodes of the series which pulled off the near impossible feats of making me love it while it may have killed off one of my favourite characters. Kudos to Misha Collins for portraying three characters in the same episode so effectively. Hopefully Leviathan Castiel gets to stay around for a while as he seems extremely entertaining. There were so many possibilities hinted at in episode and so many great moments. It nicely illustrated why a highly interventionist God could be a bad thing. Every time Dean meets Death I am left with the lingering feeling that Dean is being groomed for a position or task by death, sort of like with Gabriel and Sam. Bringing back Lucifer made the tormented Sam scenes tolerable. My only real problem was the preview for next week had no information about the storyline I'm interested in.

Fringe - 4.01 Neither Here Nor There
The two Fringe divisions begins to work together while the Observers want to remove all traces of Peter having ever lived to adulthood. Olivia investigates the murder of Lincoln Lee's FBI partner.
This show needed a third and fourth reality like a hole in the head. Good grief. Two universes weren't confusing enough for the audience. This show isn't good enough or fun enough for me to continue keeping trap of this many details.
I was rather disappointed that Joe Flanigan's character died in the opening scenes. I'm also annoyed that Peter was still missing at the end of the episode.

Supernatural - Season Seven
What do I want from Season 7?
1. Keep Castiel alive and involved. Castiel and the celestial storyline is one of the main reasons I kept watching and became obsessed after season three.
2. Get poor Adam out of the Cage.
3. Dean possessed by Michael. I still feel ripped off that we never got to see Jensen Ackles do Michael. I'll happily even take an alternate timeline.
4. Where are John and Mary Winchester's souls?
5. Keep surprising me.
