Caprica
The commercial for Caprica didn’t really give the impression that it might be a show worth watching and if the link to Battlestar Galactica didn’t exist there would have been nothing to provide any interest at all. The most surprising thing is that, even though Caprica is a prequel, it doesn’t look or feel anything like Battlestar Galactica.

You Might Not Want to Play in the Dollhouse
Joss Whedon is back on network TV with the new show, Dollhouse. If you don’t recognize that name then you aren’t one of his followers yet and, judging by this pilot, you might not have a chance to become indoctrinated. Whedon is the creative force behind cult television shows like Buffy: the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly.

Fringe consists of a decent mix of elements inspired by some of the better shows and movies of the past few decades and it’s obviously trying to fill the niche that the X-Files once occupied. Filling that void is fine by me, but it’s going to be pretty difficult if they’re only recycling material from other sources.

Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles
I watched James Cameron’s Terminator movie when I was eleven years old and it immediately became one of my favorite films. It was my first exposure to the concept of paradox (a recurring theme in my life) and the first sci-fi idea that I really had to sit around and think about.

Privileged
Any show that pretty much starts off with a child yelling out that he can see beneath the towel of a girl (that happens to be only wearing a towel) is worth finishing if only to see what else they will attempt. Or at least that’s what I thought. Unfortunately they didn’t really do much else with the episode.

90210
I can’t say that I had more than the tiniest bit of curiosity about the new version of Beverly Hills, 90210 (succinctly called just 90210 now), but, because it’s technically a new show, I decided to watch it anyway.
