Scandal - 2.03 Hunting Season

A man contacts Olivia with proof that the NSA is spying on American citizens using their computers and electronic devices through a project known as Thorngate.

Eight out of ten.

So no one is worried about Thorngate now? Really?

Continuum - 1.01 A Stitch in Time


A law enforcement officer and a group of terrorists from 2077 end up in 2012 Vancouver.

Eight out of ten.

Yay, actual science fiction with time travel , a totalatian, corporate dystopian future and advanced police tech and weapons. Bonus: Vancouver is actually Vancouver and William B. Davis's evil smile is still intimidating.

Lost Girl- 2.19 Truth and Consequences

Lachlan, the Ash, asks Bo to neutralize the Glaive whom he is concerned is allied with the Garuda. Lauren continues to try to discover what is wrong with Nadia. Nate gives Kenzi a key to his apartment while she struggles with the secrets she is keeping from him.

It's one of the more depressing episodes of the season so far but interesting to watch. I was sort of surprised by Dyson's absence though.

Primeval - 4.07 With terror birds and a surprise return

At a old prison, that is now a museum, multiple anomalies appear.

Rather liked that Danny Quinn made it home but I'm not sure of the point of Ethan being Danny's missing brother Patrick. Yay, Danny confirms Helen Cutter is dead.

Well, the ending seemed rather ominous.

Eight out of ten.

Notes:
-Patrick was 14, went through an anomaly 18 years ago.
-Matt's from the future, to prevent to coming sterilizing disaster of the world that wiped out surface life.

Primeval - 4.01

Abby and Connor have spent a year surviving in the Cretaceous, hoping to find a way home.

Eight out of ten.

Primeval - 3.10 3rd Season Finale

Danny, Abby and Connor chase Helen in the future anomaly. Sarah and Becker deal with an open anomaly at Johnson's facility.

And this is why time travel is bad and improbable. It gives someone the opportunity to wipe out their entire species.

Helen and the raptor next to the Australopithecus would make quite the confounding find and given that the Australopithecus were probably preserved Helen and the raptor should be too. Maybe Danny hid or destroyed them so they wouldn't fossilize.

Eight out of ten.

Primeval - 3.06 featuring Terror Birds

Christine Johnson takes over the ARC, with Danny, Connor, Abby and Sarah escaping to what they believe is a safe site, but is, instead, an anomaly through which Terror Birds are emerging. Lester is dismissed and Becker is kept on by Christine. Abby's brother holds a poker game in her flat.

Eight out of ten.

Primeval - 2.07 featuring Leek's Zoo

Cutter, Jenny, Abby and Connor are held by Helen and Leek at Leek's zoo, while Stephen deals with a giant sand scorpion released by Leek unto a beach.

I am still annoyed that Stephen hasn't been brought back to life.

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.

Eight out of ten.

Burn Notice - 3.04 Fearless Leader

Detective Paxson continues to cause Michael complications. Sam is audited.

A fun episode.

Eight out of ten.

Hawaii Five-O - 2.01 Ha'i'ole

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.

Eight out of ten.

Burn Notice - 3.03 End Run

Nate is bough back to Miami and becomes entangled with Michael's enemy Brennen.

Eight out of ten.

Burn Notice - 3.01 Friends and Family

After Harlan, an old friend, gets Michael out of jail, Michael helps Harlan help a woman whose family's land is being stolen by a mobster.

I didn't see Harlan's betrayal coming.

Eight out of ten.

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".

Eight out of ten.

Lost Girl - 2.01 Something Wicked This Fae Comes

Three weeks later, Dyson is still missing and Bo and friends are trying to keep a lid on the Fae activities with half the Light Elders dead and the Ash still critically injured.

The visuals seem better in this season.

Eight out of ten.

Burn Notice - 4.02 Fast Friends

Michael wants to bring the operative he burned, Jesse Porter, into his investigation. Madeline intends to rent out her garage.

I liked the interaction between Jesse and the gang.

Eight out of ten.

Doctor Who - R1.05 World War Three

Rose and the Doctor battle the Slitheen at 10 Downing Street.

The Slitheen are scarier once they start hunting.

Eight TARDISes out of ten.

Notes
  • Doctor guilt & sympathy for the dead, apologizes to them
  • Taking power to gain access to Britain's nuclear weapons
  • The Doctor was always able to escape the cabinet room but method is risky to those inside.
  • The Doctor offers to take Mickey and Mickey refuses
