Thursday - 720p HDTV Reviews 10.08.2009

So it's Thursday night. I'm all revved up and ready to go for my fave shows, and then just the extras. Here is a glimpse of some of the shows I'll be watching tonight.

I'm keeping it short, as obviously, I want to actually watch them.



Two weeks ago, I first heard the name, "FastForward". Being a big HDTV watcher, I went to TVRage and read the shows synopsis. I have to say, I wasn't very impressed by the plot line. Another week went by, and I began reading some posts @SyFy (SyFy.com). The show peaked my interest. So, last week I did an episode by episode catch up. There's something about a mystery that catches people's attention. And for me, a mystery in a sci-fi kinda way. So tonight, I'm looking forward to episode 3 of the series. I will return to give my opinion of the episode. In the meantime, I've placed some links here to some media content delivery services. ;)

Sorry folks.




There really isn't much to say about "Vampire Diaries". It's pretty straight forward. This sudden trend of vampire stories has gotten a little over the top. I'm a big "True Blood" fan. From what I hear, it's supposed to be a comedic rip off of the Twilight series of books/movies. I didn't care much for Twilight either.
The first few episodes are pretty dry, and reveal the characters in a very adolescent sort of a way. It takes place in a high school. A long lost vampire who returns home after a hundred years or so, decides to enroll in the local high school to pursue a pretty face that is identical to his long lost love from his past.
Yeah. It doesn't leave much to the imagination. Plot lines are very simple and very predictable. For anyone that is a LOST fan, you'll recognize the antagonist of the story. Yet another vampire. The brother with a dark side. The character is played by the same actor that played "Boone" on LOST. At this point, I can't remember the names of the main characters (high-school sweet-heart, good vampire that doesn't drink human blood and the bad vampire brother out to tempt his brother and obtain global domination. Or something like that LOL)

Supernatural. One simple word or title. It's quickly become one of my favorite (or favourite to my Brit friends) HDTV shows. If you've been watching Supernatural, you'll know that the series has slowly been building towards "The Apocalypse". As in The Biblicle apocalypse.
So that means end of the world kind of stuff. Any episodes past this, Michael & Satan, is almost anti-climactic. I mean, the devil is free and that's it.
What I like about this episode, is that the brothers Sam & Dean re-unite. Two weeks ago, they were free to go their own way. This week, they're back in the saddle again like a dynamic duo. Now that they're teaming up again, they're back on the road "on training wheels" meaning, that the brothers are going back to simple. Have I told you that I like simple?
The Supernatural producers have decided to go back to basics. Where do you go from Apocalyptic? Back to basics, baby. What I find really funny is that Sam is back to being Dean's kid brother, or his "b!T@H" so to say. He's portrayed as the "Skully" to Mulder, the side kick even. And just for fun, Paris Hilton is thrown in as well. It isn't one of Supernatural's best episode, but it brings us back to the series' roots; Hunting demons, omens, ghosts and demi-gods. I'm glad Supernatural is back to simple.
