Any one watch Planet Dinosaur on BBC, good stuff, kids enjoyed it.

second episode was about dinosaurs who had feathers and warm blooded, they believe the dinosaurs were not wiped out and are birds like Missy.

Yea caught this the other day, the Gigantoraptor. Watched the one before too, with Gigatosaurus, fookin huge they were, forget T-rex, he was a pussy compared to some these beasts

Yep paleontologists have certainly made up some pretty awesome new dinosaurs since the Jurassic Park films have finished.

Terranova debuted over the weekend. Extremely high quality production, really did look and feel like a feature film. There's a whole lot of wholesome family value goodness, which I'd personally have ejected in favour of more monster scenes and gore but overall it was a pretty solid pilot I thought.

It's interesting that Spielberg's dinosaurs have evolved since Jurassic Park now that the evolutionary community is trying to step up the dinosaur = bird nonsense. So instead of velociraptors we now have feather coated, bird like Slashers but whatever, it was still entertaining, even if the deliberate indoctrination of millions of Americans is morally suspect in my eyes.

Serves them right, those who are stupid enough to be deceived I guess.

But anyway, solid start, B+.

I am glad you are starting to think more my way.

Love Mock the Week, every week.

Very promising new American ries called Point of Interest. It stars the creepy bad guy out of Lost and Jim Caviezal, and judging by the pilot is a very stylish and decent crime/spy/espionage thriller.

Loved the first episode, a bit formulaic but a couple of twists and looks like it will build well over the series.

Definitely one to watch.

It's called Person of Interest.

And yeah, I'm really liking it. Only 2 episodes so far, but I'll definitely keep watching it. It's hard not to look and listen to Finch, and not think of him as Ben though. And I've been a fan of Jim Caviezels for a long time. He's yummy hot.

I was a little disappointed with Terra Nova though. I'll give it a little more time, and see if it gets better, if not, I'll stop.

Happy to have Boardwalk Empire back.

Jonesing for True Blood though. Twelve episodes is just not enough. BTW, sorry Bilbo, it doesn't look like you'll ever see Jessica's tits.

There's a new series on Showtime starting on Sunday night called Homeland. It looks pretty good, and I'll be giving that a look.

Curb Your Enthusiasm is my all time favourite i think. Pretty, pretty, pretty gooooood.

FINALLY...The Walking Dead returns tonight!!!!!

And what the hell happened to the guy and his son left in the suburbs in the debut
