I love Breaking Bad. I series linked it on FX, but then for some reason it stopped being on halfway through the first series. Is the resumption the second series? If so, what happened to the rest of the first one? |

I thoroughly enjoyed 'Glee' last night. Even the link between the two hours was funny, as the announcer guy said hello to Simon Pegg (who had tweeted that he was watching it).

I found Glee very up-and-down, but on the whole it was good fun. Sue Sylvester (played by the always-awesome Jane Lynch) makes it worth watching almost single-handedly - her disparaging description of Emma when she's chatting to Will's wife about halfway through the season is an absolute work of art. |

Anyone watched "Castle"? It stars everyone's favourite spaceship captain Nathan Fillion as an author who helps the police in a similar fashion to The Mentalist only he's not right all the time and doesn't put his hands in his suit jacket pockets. I'm halfway through season 1 and it's thoroughly entertaining with basically Mal Reynolds saving the day with less buckling of his swash but still plenty of sarcasm and some decent lines - favourite so far his ringing up of his detective associate to tell her gleefully "Guess who's got a date with a prostitute?". Worth a watch if you like The Mentalist or Bones. |

Finished 'Life' S2 last night. I think it was a thoroughly excellent show, although it ended a little confusingly. The main female lead is incredibly attractive, and it also has brief appearances from Our Mrs Reynolds, who is fit. |

Awesome moment for Firefly fans in Castle, season 2 episode 5. Castle, played by Nathan "Mal" Fillion is preparing for his Halloween Party and dresses up in a perfect Mal oufit. His daughter says "what are you supposed to be?" and Castle answers "Space Cowboy!" with a Firefly-esque chord on the soundtrack. Daughter then says "You last wore that costume over 5 years ago, shouldn't you let it go?" I laughed out loud. |
