• Battlestar Galactica Season 2

    Season two will air this summer. It’ll be a full 20-episode run. This show was definitely a surprise, especially to fans of the original series. It was quite a departure from the first Galactica, and fans panned the show prematurely because of the changes — namely the big ones, like the fact that the new Starbuck is female — but I think it caught everyone off guard; it’s a great show with a strong story and a near perfect cast.

  • CSI Finale

    I just can’t watch this show on a regular basis. The acting, although better now, was horrible in the beginning; way too melodramatic. Many of the characters (Grissom especially) had too many goofy one-liners, usually delivered as a stinger just before the opening credits. But, if there’s one thing that attracts me to the show, it’s the cinematography. The special effects used to explain the forensics behind the show are pretty amazing. At any rate, I’ll try to remember to catch the season finale, because it will be directed by Quinten Tarantino.

  • 24

    Every season of ’24′ surprises me. I expect the show to decline in quality at some point, but somehow, the show manages to keep building the tension. I wouldn’t be surprised that if Jack Bauer ever dies, it’ll be from stress.

  • Lost

    Another show that just keeps getting better. This show has a lot of things going for it: strong character relationships (there’s Jack & Kate, Jack & Sawyer, Jack Kate & Sawyer, Hurley & Jin, Jin & Sun, Michal & Jin, Michael & Walt, Boone & Locke, Sayid & Shannon — Ok, I could do without that one; that one is just weird), big mysteries and a generous helping of action. So far, the show has maintained a good balance of answering some questions and leaving others unanswered. There’s a danger to both, though. Answer too many questions and your audience stops watching; Don’t answer enough questions and the viewers get frustrated. So far so good. The season finale for this one is bound to be a zinger.
