Fringe Premiere Promises New Hit, Lots of Intrigue
(via)If I only watch one new show this fall, it’ll have to be J.J. Abram’s Fringe. Last night’s premiere just happened to be my first glimpse into the new fall season and judging from Fringe’s debut this season should be a good one.

Bones’ Big Finish Leaves One of their Own in Danger

Could Cally be the Final Cylon on BSG?
(via)Since Galactica entered the nebula in the Season 3 finale, the Internet has been buzzing with speculation as to the identity of the final Cylon on Battlestar Galactica. But to be honest, I’ve been so stunned by the four revealed in that episode that I haven’t given it much thought - until now.
‘Sarah Jane’ Offers Sci Fi Adventure for Whole Family
(via)I vaguely remember the Doctor Who series from the 70s and 80s, but when the show was revived in 2005, I became a big fan. However, it’s a series my husband and I usually watch after the kids have gone to bed. But now we have a show we can watch as a family - The Sarah Jane Adventures.
Missing CSI Scene: Catherine Snoops in Grissom’s Apt.

Can NBC’s ‘Knight Rider’ Live up to the Memories?
(via)I had prepared myself to be let down when I saw NBC’s two-hour movie/pilot for Knight Rider. However, I must say that producers Dave Bartis (The O.C.) and Doug Liman (Bourne Identity) did a fair job of bringing a second-generation KITT and story into the 21st century.
Is it Lights Out for Friday Night Lights?
(via)Well it looks like we might have seen the last original episode ever of Friday Night Lights last Friday. And if you’ve had a chance to see this fine drama, you’d agree this news is a travesty.

(via)At a time when many of our favorite programs are airing the last of their original programs in the wake of the writer’s strike, mid-season replacements are a welcoming reprieve to the start of reruns. Among the newcomers is Fox’s Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles. After seeing the premier last night, I am cautiously optimistic.

‘Eureka’ Continues to ‘Click’ With Viewers
(via)“It’s nice when you find someone you just click with.” The same can be said for a television show. And Sci Fi’s Eureka definitely clicks with me. And last night’s episode “Sight Unseen” was no different.

Second Season of ‘Eureka’ Funnier and Quirkier
(via)You always worry that when a new series comes back for its second season if it can maintain the same “magic” that drew you to it to begin with. Sci Fi’s quirky little drama Eureka has put that concern to rest for me. Four episodes into its second season, Eureka is better than ever.

For the soldiers, the Army is their identity. And in “Who We Are” we learn that for many of the spouses, it’s the only life they’ve known.
