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.

I haven't caught any of the new shows.

I do like dual survival though. Except for the part where they remind us every five minutes that Cody doesn't have shoes on. We fucking know.

I'm a survival show junkie, the only one I don't like is man vs wild. Fucking awful. Survivorman was the all time great but I only watched one episode of that guy's next show, it was all about voodoo and I just didn't care. I even watch man woman wild which is pretty terrible. Like really terrible. The wife isn't bad though.

Hey Di, good to see you on here

I've pretty much given up on seeing any Jessica nips now. Stupid vampire prude.

Oh well, actually although I love True Blood I'm not missing it as there are a ton of good things to watch right now.

Terra Nova is a winner, it has dinosaurs, that's good enough for me, even if they are made up dinosaurs based on new evolutionary hypotheses of what they would like to find. But anyway, still dinosaurs.

Person of Interest it is indeed, you know how I love to be corrected...and it's a great show.

Dexter is back, as is Hung so that's cool.

Also Time magazine previewed the autumns biggest new shows. Homeland was voted their best new pilot so I will definitely be watching that.

The other recommendations were as follows, Ive downloaded them but not watched yet;

Ringer - A thriller with Sarah Michelle Geller who assumes the identity of her missing twin. Actually looking forward to this. First three episodes are already out.

UP All Night - Think that's the name. A comedy about a young couple with a baby starring Christina Applegate and Will Arnett.

Pan Am - A 1960's comedy drama about life amongst a group of air sterwadesses. Doesn't sound like my kind of thing, but Christina Ricci is in it, so I will give it a go.

We've also got Walking Dead 2 to come as well so some great stuff out there.

Really enjoyed the finale of Alphas as well. That was a fun little show.

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
