A little bird brought me the complete Fringe. But before that I started watching Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and so far is so, so better than what I was expecting from a spin-off.

Fringe is awesome, watched the whole thing. Maybe it's time to do it again.

And also sci-fi, Continuum is one of my favourites. Refreshing to see characters, that aren't so black and white, good XOR bad.

^ Also on that: first 6 episodes where just ok, but E07 (I got the extended version) was just awesome. Different directing and editing styles altogether, better cinematography, a splendid scene with Sarah Connor childhood memories.

Unfortunately Charles Beeson is not going to be the director of all the episodes left. Good to know I'll still find him in the second season, though.

^ Or maybe it's just me being to attached to the first two Terminators and liking a take on that great character that is Sarah Connor who I always felt needed better development. :)

Just watched episode 3 of Mr Robot. Definitely a fan now and I hope it stays exciting and intriguing unlike certain other programs *cough* Lost *cough*

I'm half way through Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles season 2.

It's not all good as I hoped it to be, but sometimes it just throws in nice things that manage to keep me hooked. I'm not talking about the plot or characters development, no surprises here despite what the interwebs says about it. I'm talking about directional style, camera work, cinematography and editing. The all shooting scene in the church, for instance, was great (reminded me of John Woo here and there).

Also, Self-Made Man was a great episode overall.

Again, a little pleasant surprise in Sarah Connor Chronicles.

"Some Must Watch, While Some Must Sleep" (S02E16) is loosely based upon Zhuangzi's "The Butterfly Dream". Well, at least it reminded me of that. One of the most intriguing episodes so far.

Done with the Sarah Connor Chronicles. Shame they didn't renew it for another season, because the last two episodes left many unanswered questions.

Now, Fringe time.

Ended Our World War, a British mini series about the Great War. Not that special, seemed like a copy of Band of Brothers.

I watched the new pilots for Minority Report & Lucifer.

Minority Report I have super high hopes, it was only one episode. The only thing that may have turned me off a little is when every main character is in there 20's. Leads me to believe they are going to target a younger crowd but jury is still out.

Lucifer I forget if it was DC or Marvel comic. The devil has left hell and is living amongst us and helping a female cop. Enough devilish humor that I liked anyway. Have to see how this one goes I don't think its a must see but I will watch if it falls in the right time bracket.

Tonight watching 'Fear the Walking Dead'
