Recently I've been watching Big Giant Swords; What Could Possibly Go Wrong?; Backstrom and I've just watched the first episode of Black Sails.
BGS: Irish Mike is mental, and he's what makes the show great.
WCPGW: It's a bit like Mythbusters, only they're just having a laugh on camera.
Backstrom: Best summed up by its tagline: Brilliant Detective, Total Dick.
Black Sails: Not bad, but it's clearly not got the same budget as Game of Thrones. Some of the effects work was a bit weak.

Caught the first couple of episodes of the Lizzie Borden Chronicles on Lifetime. Much like the movie they did that spawned it, this miniseries exists solely because Christina Ricci is badass, hot, and compelling. Although I really feel like it should be named "Wednesday Addams all grown up and in the 19th century for some reason we refuse to explain." Too wordy of a title I guess.
But there is something about Ricci when she goes from demure to showing steel with just a look, or the way she smiles when she hears her sister scream after discovering the body of someone she murdered before going back to sleep peacefully in her bed. Yeah, that's Wednesday right there, as only Ricci do the role. They take everything just tongue in cheek enough to know they are not taking anything too seriously and you have to restrain yourself from snapping your fingers when you see "Lizzie" get ready to go off on someone.

Been watching Dark Matter on Netflix. Basic premise is six crew members wake up on a star ship with no memory of who they are, or their relationship with each other; now they have to work together to find out who sabotaged their memories and why, all while dodging the deadly pasts that none of them can recall.
Watched Season 2, episodes 1 & 2 of The Librarians on November 1st- which came after the Librarian movie marathon on the 30th and the Season 1 marathon on the 31st. All I can say is that The Librarians and The Drowned Book and The Librarians and The Broken Staff totally killed it. For you more literary minded, yes those episode titles are a reference to Shakespeare, though I'll not spoil how or why. Whereas Season 1 kind of orbited around Arthurian Legend, Season 2 looks to be delving more into classical literature. Definitely looking forward to the team facing off against James Moriarty.
Also, kudos for them in making The Monster look more like his "in book" description rather than his more common classical Hollywood look.
