Space Time...

Whoa, is it just me, or has there been an inordinate amount of time travel, implied time travel, teleportation, and space time continuum rule breaking going on lately on the small screen?

LOST - the island is jumping around in time. In the span of five minutes, we're told you can't change what's happened, and Faraday turns around and changes Desmond's memories. When the hell is Ben? I really liked the new episode (maybe partially because it was more about characters who were not Jack or Kate). Hurley continues to be one of my favorite characters, and I just love the way they handle his relationship with his parents. That being said, I still don't know what on earth is going on... I can't wait for next week.

Fringe - yet again, I don't know what on earth is going on. But there has been some weird science, and teleportation happening on this show in the last two episodes. It really seems to be picking up some steam.

Battlestar Galactica - one more time, don't know what the frak is going on. Was earth full of Cylons, are we all Cylons, who are the 12 colonies? Arrgh. Was Starbuck time travelling, was she resurrected?? So many questions, but to be honest, I can't figure out a way that Starbuck time traveling makes any sense, it has got to be something else. I think I'm also one of the few people not surprised by the 5th final Cylon reveal. I feel like that made sense since it was hinted at an awful lot. But, the question does keep coming up... why are they aging? Someone explain... maybe more answers tomorrow. Woo hoo!

Anyway, it's nice to have these shows back this week. I'm revelling in my geek TV quantity right now.

Let's Get This Party Started

Okay, first things first - OBAMA! Just had to get that out.

Next up, let's talk Galactica's return last week - HOLY MOSES. Did anyone see the identity of the Fifth Cylon coming? Were you as confounded as I was about the Starbuck business? I don't want to get too spoiler-ific here in the main body of the post, since some folks may still be working through their DVR queue (I myself have an episode of Supernatural from November waiting for me), so discuss in the comments if you want.

Suffice to say, it's going to be THE season to watch. If they're giving us big reveals from the get-go, who knows what's going to happen?

In the batter's box: Fringe comes back tonight, and Lost will continue to entrance and frustrate us on Thursday.

To keep an eye out for: Warehouse 13 premieres on Sci-Fi channel this summer, and Joss Whedon's newest, Dollhouse, set to premiere in "early 2009".

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.

Finally!! Fringe!!

Okay, so I found the end of this past week's episode of Fringe a tad anti-climactic, but something happened that made me happy. Yes folks, finally an episode where Doctor Bishop didn't conveniently have the person in trouble as a former patient in a wacky theoretical science experiment.

Don't get me wrong, it's been really interesting, but I was waiting for there to be an episode where the doc didn't already have an edge. It was totally worth it too, because you really can't beat an exploding papaya. And apparently, the papaya is the friendliest of fruits.

Good episode, it will definitely keep me watching.

Now to catch up on my Terminator viewing. But, Pushing Daisies first methinks.

The Geek-Down

Okay, so I'm going to sit here and stew in my jealousy for Stacey's Blu-Ray as I give you the Geek-Down - the rundown of all current things geek happening in my little universe.

While I do not have a Blu-Ray, we did get the special edition DVD with Iron Man head case. (As opposed to headcase, which would accurately describe Robert Downey Jr.'s last respite from Hollywood before Iron Man.) I haven't watched it yet - waiting for the weekend to enjoy that with the kiddos and Hubs - but I cannot wait. I loved it in the movies and am thrilled to have it in my hot little hands. The kids will not be keeping this one in their room - they're lucky I let them keep my Star Wars box set, and that's only because it's the remastered ass that Lucas re-released, where Greedo shoots first. I call shenanigans on you, George Lucas!

Okay - Fringe - have not watched yet, because Will and I had to catch up on two episodes of Supernatural and he demanded that we watch Chuck "live" the other night. Oh, and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was on. Jeez, there's a lot of good TV these days. But anyway, no Fringe yet, so hang in there.

• I think we need these Star Wars sweatshirts. I love the Boba Fett and Stormtrooper sweats in particular.
• Speaking of Fringe, Fox has ordered more. Whoo hoo!!
• More to come, but thanks to USA Today's blog, Pop Candy, for keeping me up to date on geeky fabulousness.
