I had not heard of Blood and Chrome but that does look good. Thanks for bringing it up.

I have high hopes for B&C. I had hopes for Caprica but the first season just didn't deliver. Too much soap, not enough SF. However, I had hopes that it would develop, and shows often take a season to hit their stride. I want to know that story line, and they canceled it prematurely imho.

Word, best crime drama since The Shield or The Wire. I'm not feeling The Big Bang Theory at all, especially when there's great comedy around like Parks & Recreation or Community. I really enjoyed Breaking In so far as well. Christian Slater is very creepy in a perfect way, and seeing that guy who played Lex Luthor for so many seasons wearing hair is hilarious. I got very disappointed in the characters introduced by the latest Bones episode for the new spin-off show "Finder". That British chick's accent gives me the Willies. I don't think anyone on British TV talks like that, ever.

Well just to prove my point about how insaine the managment of NBC/Universal is, they actually did produce a final season of caprica (rushed of course). But did Syfy air it in a normal fashion? NOOOOOO! They aired all 12 episodes back to back on some oddball day starting at 5pm with absolutely no promotion and they haven't been seen since, even on syfy rewind or similar on demand options. I missed them and I'm sure as hell not paying for the dvd just to watch them. You would think that if you paid for 12 shows and had them ready to go you would actually try to re-coup some of your money by airing them... but I guess common sense and tv don't see eye-to-eye anymore.

Heh ya, I remember coming home one day and seeing a ton of Caprica was recorded on my dvr. I first assumed the dvr had mistakenly recorded old episodes until I started reading the descriptions and saw they actually were new. Very odd how they did that.
