I know that the Fall Season has been in full swing for a couple of weeks right now but this is the big week for me.
My three favorite shows (not named 24) plus the pilot that impressed me the most start this week.
Tonight: Veronica Mars (CW, 9 PM)
Okay, last year was a bit of a sophmore slump for them but they had the third best finale last year (the first being Lost, the second being Battlestar Galactica). Hopefully CW won’t cancel it and we’ll get to enjoy Veronica’s freshman year of college.
Wednesday: Lost (ABC, 9 PM) & The Nine (ABC, 10 PM)
Lost goes without saying. I know alot of people where disappointed with the second season but I thought it was good and after Michael’s shocking turn, it became great. After the aforementioned mind- (and hatch-) blowing season finale, I can’t wait to find out what happens with Jack & Co. and, more interestingly, will Sayid finally take a leadership role.
As far as The Nine goes, I downloaded the pilot and was instantly hooked. Unless Friday Night Lights is as good as everyone says it is, this was by far the best pilot I saw this year. I don’t know how long they can drag out this mysterious 52 hours but I want to find out what the fuck happened during that robbery.
Friday: Battlestar Galactica (Sci-Fi, 9 PM)
Now, like Veronica Mars, I was a latecomer to this show but thanks to my friend Kaiva and Netflix, I caught up and am hooked. I still can’t believe what they did at the end of last season, jumping ahead a year and surrending to the Cylons while Galactica and the fleet high-tailed it but that’s the kind of shit you could only get away with on cable.
So this week, my friends, I am BUSY!*
*Except Friday, without a “watercooler” to talk around the next day, there’s no sense of urgency with BG.
