    Flash Forward episode 10 actually aired already in Australia, so of course it's already all over the usual sites for people who are interested.

    It's pretty good... compared to the other FF episodes anyhow, but shit actually happens, and we get quite a few answers.

    So not to shabby overall.

    "(And am I the only person who spent the last episode waiting for a big lizard reveal, only to be thwarted? They even talked about skinning an alien just to tease us, the bastards)

    Seeing as how it was already revealed they were lizards, I wasn't disappointed.

    What I'm hoping for is that Anna is part of a mammoth warning plot where she has already turned against her whole race and wants to save earth, and that she'll reveal her real motives to the fifth column once the revealed BIG fleet is in range. I'm not holding my breath. It's probably going to be stupid.

    I'm not really intrigued by Alice. "NEW, MODERN, EDGY, OOOH!" if you want to be new, modern, and edgy, make something new, modern, and edgy.

    I really liked Tin Man but I am not so sure about Alice. On the other hand it was several actors I really enjoy watching.

    Having a DVR means not having to choose between House and Heroes, assuming your DVR works. If you're a Time Warner subscriber... good luck. Fox HD has had a lot of mysterious DVR fails recently. I've had recording problems and my gf has had recording problems. Time Warner denies knowledge of any issues.

    @PlaidNinja: We missed an episode of FRINGE, we believe because the internet listings used by our TiVo indicated it was a rerun (which we don't record) instead of first-run. That's our working theory. Now we have to peer at the listings ourselves to pick it up in reruns.

    @Chip Overclock: On Saturday I created manual recordings for the Cleveland Show, Family Guy, and American Dad. I had a witness as well... one who chided me for recording American Dad, saying "IT SUUUUUUUUUUUCKS". In any case, I had nothing else recording on other channels at the same time. I came home and turned on the TV at 9:55 and checked the DVR, only to find that nothing recorded, and to add insult to injury, the guide channel showed American Dad with a REC icon that had a line through it. Time Warner had no idea of what could have happened.

    @Chip Overclock: Was that a few weeks ago? It wasn't because it was listed as a rerun, it was because it was listed as game 7 of the World Series. When the Series ended before game 7, your listings didn't get updated in time.

    @Evil Tortie's Mom: R.O.A.C.H.: Yeah, probably just a matter of timing. OTOH, El Gato Diablo has also been known to pull the Ethernet cable out of the back of our TiVo, which we discover when it complains that it can't download any updated listings. So I guess I'll have to check...

    Alice looks ridiculous. Tin Man was unfortunately unwatchable as well though, so I guess I should have expected that.

    You know what I miss during Thanksgiving? MST3K's Turkey Day celebration on Comedy Central. Somehow it just doesn't feel like the holiday without Joel/Mike and their Robot friends.

    Beyond Sherwood Forest should be renamed I Was a Teenage Robin Hood. Nothing against that goofy guy from Sanctuary but he doesn't scream swashbuckling outlaw, more like Robin Hood's sappy kid brother. And does SyFy have to wedge dragons into everything?

    I'm still trying to see if I'm gonna watch the Robin Hood movie. I just finished the show Robin hood that the BBC did and I'm sure if I want to go through it again.
