Lost season 5 Poster clues!
The TV Addict has some interesting questions about this new poster. So far all I have to say is Yay! Desmond is on the poster. I was a little afraid his story was over after reuniting with Penny, and I like Desmond.

Tivo & Dominos... Holy Crap
Okay, so this is extreme laziness, but really cool. You can now order pizza through your Tivo. All you need is a username and password on the Dominos website (which I have), and of course a network connected Tivo unit (which mine is).
Oh boy, oh boy, I can't wait to try this. Domino's pizza isn't even good enough for this kind of excitement, but hey, I think that the tech is pretty cool.

Fringe...
Is anyone watching Fringe?
I am still enjoying it, it's not a show yet that I would be devastated, and writing in to Fox about if they cancelled, but it's a fun hour of entertainment on Tuesdays. There's a lack of good Tuesday television.
Anyway, the character development on the show is getting better every week, they're developing a really nice storyline between the doctor and his son. I don't think that they're taking the storyline of the FBI agent far enough away from the pilot. There's been some throwaway references to her past, and so on, but I think they're going to need to give us more.
It definitely has potential, so if you're not watching, I suggest you get online and start. It's worth a shot, and it takes a couple episodes to get into, but after that I think you'll enjoy. The subtle jokes at the expense of one character named Astrid are almost enough to keep me watching.

Heroes... slight improvement...
Okay, I'm still not happy with the overall messiness of this season of Heroes, but last night's episode was a tad better than the last few. It actually felt like it was going somewhere.
I'm not sure how I feel yet about the psychopath love story between Sylar and Elle, that feels a little weird to me. But they're both off their nuts, so that could work. It could also go very bad, if they actually take Sylar back to where he should be. Evil.
This week's biggest plus, none of Claire's flame throwing mama. Woo hoo!
I'm glad the writers got the hint that we need more whimsy from Hiro, but I'm not sure that making him think he's age 10 was the way to go. I did enjoy the little bit of comic relief in the bowling alley though.
I still have no idea where things are going, but they at least have taken groupings of characters and pitted them against each other in a couple factions now. Whew, it was about time. Anyway, fingers crossed that they stay on track, and this whole "catalyst" storyline doesn't get annoying.

I am... less angry.
I saw the latest Star Trek trailer online at I Watch Stuff and find myself somewhat mollified. The first minute chafes me a bit, but then we get some interesting Spock action, and Simon Pegg's mere presence on the screen makes me smile 'cuz I'm a big nerd like that. We shall see...
Oh, and feedback from the Hubs? "DAMMIT! What happened to March?" Because now, apparently, the movie is opening in May.
I Watch Stuff also has a pic of the new Enterprise, and I'm okay with it. Thank you, JJ, for not pulling a crazy redesign.
In further Trek-related geekdom, Simon Pegg is back with Nick Frost! They're working on a movie called "Paul" where they play two British slackers (surprise!) who visit ComicCon, go on a road trip to Area 51, and find a small alien named Paul, who they help find the way home for. Pegg and Frost wrote the screenplay, the director of Superbad is at the helm, and the exec producer is Edgar Wright, who directed both Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Epic win?

Pixar's Up Trailer #2 in HD
New Pixar Movie, though if you don't know the plot, it sounds a little heartbreaking.
