Just watched first two episodes of The Cape. It's alright but the pacing is terrible; throwing all these new characters and ideas at us at once without any smooth transitions beyond the average timeskip. I like the idea in general though and the awesome Minority Report interactive hologram screens are awesome. I wish they were possible in real life.
Got caught up on Camelot, and my opinion has changed:
It is complete and utter rubbish.
How they could turn a show with so much potential into this pile of steaming horse manure is beyond me. Really, all they had to do to create a good show was stick close to the legends and let their cast of actors do the rest. Instead they put their own "spin" on things, only their spin is so boring and utterly retarded, a monkey on crack could have come up with something better.
Not even Claire Forlani's and Eva Green's tits can save this show.
Now I'm pondering whether or not I should give Game of Thrones a try. I've heard good things about that show, but that was true for Camelot as well.

On a whim I decided to watch the first episode of Falling Skies just to see what I missed. Then I downloaded the entire series and beasted through them in one night. There were a lot of moments that were cheesy and predictable but there's just something so cool about this almost post-apocalyptic resistance against aliens that made me keep watching. Can't wait for season 2.
Don't suppose there's any good fanfics out there yet?

I watched the pilot over the weekend, too.
I felt that it reminded me of <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tripods' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>The</a> <a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hYJumW_G8E' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Tripods</a> and War of the Worlds. If you're familiar with those two stories, then you'll understand why.
I do have to give it props for having a non-humanoid alien species, and I'll continue with it at the weekends with my lodger along with other things like Archer and various cartoons.
