How dare you mention Minority Report in the same breath as the criminally under-appreciated Almost Human?

I actually thought the Lucifer pilot was ok but it did nothing to make me want to actually watch the show. It's like someone thought that the problem with a typical Sherlock Holmes archetype is that he's just not smug enough.

The return of "The X-Files" on FOX proved a ratings smash for the network with the premiere episode pulling in a 5.1 rating and around 13.5 million viewers in Live+Same Day figures

Geez. I highly doubt that'll keep up tonight.

He means the character on Supernatural, who was put in a big "never ever escape" box and hasn't really been on the show in years.

Weirdly, this season is the best since season five. In fact it's fifth (or fourth?) episode was one of the best episode of TV I saw last year.

E: in fact I'd encourage anyone who is a lapsed fan to track down "Baby", it's like the platonic ideal of a Supernatural episode and it barely references the season's overall arc. It's great and reminded me of all the stuff I loved about the show when it's on top form.

For the uninitiated, that episode's gimmick is that it's shot entirely from the interior of their car as they tool around a small town hunting a monster. It's done really well.

So if they keep things up it looks like Lucifer just might be a show that transcends the format.

Can't criticize Cyrus, ship has long sailed for that.

One thing I'm enjoying about Lucifer is that he isn't hiding the whole "I'm the devil" thing at all. Also wondering if lady cop is going to be the show's version of Elaine Belloc.

Yeah, I really enjoyed the way they went about that. It's not "oh man, is he actually the Devil?", it's "what is the Devil doing in LA?" and I think that's a pretty interesting premise. Also helps he's really entertaining. Not sold on lady cop yet, but they're pretty fun together.

Tristan: Hey Mary. :smug:

Rory: *is too polite to say gently caress you*

he is definitely one of the weaker parts of early Gilmore Girls. I don't know what they were trying to do with him.
also Chad Michael Murray was not a very good actor. I think he has either improved somewhat since, or Agent Carter has just found the right way to use him.
