Scootermcc sent me this link http://www.geektown.co.uk/uk-air-dates/. As predicted when sent, I keep looking to see what's coming up.

Blacklist returns next month. Whoopee!

There's also Breakout Kings about catching people who break out from prison made by the makers of Prison Break. I loved Season 1 of PB, then all this breaking out, on the run, breaking in, breaking out, breaking in nonsense bored me, so I've no idea how it all ended.

It also discusses Hemlock Grove and says it's about murder, I always thought it was a kids' programme :confused:.

Oh, I can't wait for Duck Dynasty (not). It's about men with beards hunting ducks. What if they shave :confused:.

Everyone on Revenge seems to be a bit nastier this season :confused: even the lovely Jack Porter...ok, his father, wife and brother died in Series 1 and 2, but still!

A bit late to the party I know, but I wasn't all that satisfied with season 3 of Sherlock.

There was so much fan service. And whilst that was funny at parts, it seemed cheap. I loved the first 2 seasons in part because of the subtlety and ambiguity of the 'fan service', it didn't compromise the integrity of the show.

Also what's with Sherlock suddenly behaving like a human being? In this season he seemed to drop a large amount of sociopathy and spontaneously gain compassion. I think part of Sherlock's character is that he doesn't get on well with other people and is frequently incredibly rude and mean. Understandably he was grateful to Molly for helping him fake his death, but he seemed overly so.

Just watching Troy, E4's new magician, I love magicians, very impressed so far :blink: looks like he might give Dynamo some competition.

For some inexplicable reason I felt the need to look The O.C. up on Saturday (I saw and loved the first few seasons when it aired but never finished the show). I'm now 20 episodes into a rewatch, uh...

This show is much better than I remembered it though. Addresses teen problem honestly, great cast of characters, fantastic one-lines/humour (especially from Seth and Sandy), some surprising guest appearances from actors I now know from elsewhere (last I saw this show was 10 years ago after all) and a killer soundtrack. I'm hooked (again)!

Nope, there was a trailer following last night's Outnumbered but they just said "coming soon".
