TV time!

[locker_monster]

I think I'm right in saying the new TV season starts next week. A few shows are premiering next week with a major roll out the week after.

Shows I will be watching for sure:
- Castle
- Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
- Arrow
- Sherlock

Castle I watch purely for Nathan Fillion. I'm not sure I agree how last season ended. The show also needs to make better use of the supporting cast. Yes, it's great and all following Castle and Beckett, but the rest of the team deserves some time in the spotlight, too. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is a no-brainer. Joss Whedon + Marvel Cinematic Universe + Coulson = awesome! I'm excited to have Joss back on the television. It's about time he had a show that's a big hit and lasts longer than a season or two. Arrow's not back until October, but it'll be great to have it back. It got surprisingly good as the season went on. Summer Glau's the villain for the season so that should be great, too. And I still have no idea when Sherlock is back. Come on, BBC!

Shows I might be watching:
- CSI
- Almost Human

I'm really tempted to give up CSI. It's sort of my guilty pleasure show, ironically. I'm not a big fan of the police procedural so CSI is my one allowance. As for Almost Human, I'm on the fence. On the one hand, Karl Urban. On the other, FOX and JJ Abrams. :-P FOX doesn't have the greatest track record with sci-fi shows and I'm not a huge fan of JJ Abrams. He tends to slap his name on a show and then just watches it from afar.

There might be other shows I'm interested in. I just have to make an effort to read about the fall schedule.

Honourable mentions:
- Doctor Who's 50th anniversary special
- "An Adventure in Time and Space" (the docudrama about the show)

And I see that the 50th anniversary special has a title now. "Day of the Doctor". Meant to be witty one assumes. It doesn't tell you a thing about the episode, though, which I appreciate. I immediately thought of "Day of the Daleks", but I doubt the plot will involve resistance fighters coming to the present to stop the Daleks from taking over. Though, going off the posters they released, the Daleks are involved (boo), but there's some Bad Wolf graffiti in there, too (yay!). And speaking of the posters, ooh, our first shot of Ten and Eleven together (with the Hurt!Doctor to boot). No posters of the Companions, sadly. What? Rose and Clara can't look bad ass?
