Really enjoying House this season. I like the new!nicer! House now-with-snark.

I will also be watching Sanctuary since it's now on its 2nd season.

Awesome awesome awesome show. I had a hard time getting into Amanda Tapping having a British accent but I'm sure that also had to do with just coming off the marathon run of Stargate. Which brings me to:

I'm intrigued by SG-Universe but I'm not holding out much hope.

Sucktactular. Which means it will be around forEVER.

No strong female roles. They have been regulated to pure helpless eyecandy. No male version of eyecandy either. And WTF happened to RDA? He looks terrible (old... and ill). I guess the writers forgot that smart and strong can be sexy (as shown in Carter, Weir and Tala).

Loving NCIS. I really like how they wrapped up the

'what Ziva did on her summer vacation'

story arc leaving some residual

Spoiler:

awkwardness between Tony and Ziva - which should be there considering he killed her bf and she pointed a loaded gun at him.

I hope we haven't seen the end of it though and see some residual fallout. Also liking the less

Spoiler:

angsty Gibbs.

I've heard SG:U referred to as Battlestargate. I admit, it hasn't totally hooked me yet, but I love the SG universe (lowercase u) and am willing to give them some time to find their groove. Both Star Trek TNG and DS9 took a while to find their way. I think both of those shows blossomed into something great.

As for guycandy, I think Brian J. Smith as 1st Lt. Matthew Scott is quite enjoyable to look at.

As for RDA, well, that's kinda on him, don't you think? I saw him on SNL a year or two ago and almost gasped because he looks so different, so I don't think that's anything to do with SG:U making him look... the way he looks.

I'm hearing references of LOST, Lost in Space, Voyager, DS:9 and BSG. I haven't seen any of those except LOST so I couldn't compare. All I know is that I can watched nearly all 10 seasons of SG1 without feeling bored and SG:U wandering off to do other stuff and not bothering to pause it.

Eh, he doesn't do anything for me. I much prefer Michael Shanks as Daniel Jackson or Ben Browder as Colonel Mitchell though as K will attest, the later took nearly a season and a half to grow on me. Though Daniel Jackson took a bit of time too.

I didn't say SG:U made him look this way. He looks terrible (I saw him in the McGroober skit and thought it was fake so I GoogleImaged him and was very sad). But after SG:U I searched again because he looks... ill. He didn't look that good in Atlantis or the movies either, so it's just progression and I thought he was ill. It's a steroid (prednisone, not HGH) kinda puffy.

As of now it's on my TVIO and I'll watch it when I can. But it's certainly not anything I'm rushing home or staying up late to watch.

I had to see what you meant, so I looked and found this.

Poor RDA.

I didn't think he looked that bad, but I guess I am just old enough myself to cut everyone loads of slack.

Mmmmm. Daniel & Cam <drool>

I would be remiss if I left out the mega-delicious Joe Flanigan as Lt. Col. John Sheppard and the surfer-dude-stud Jason Momoa as Ronon Dex (though I could live w/out the dreads.)
