The Good and The Bad...

[savageseraph]

Despite the many things going in its favor, I was concerned about tonight’s debut of Alcatraz. Choosing to show two eps back-to-back was a good plan, since there’s a twist at the end of the second episode that definitely cemented my tuning in next week for more. Yes, the show is dark and sinister and the premise is intriguing. The acting seems solid, and I like the flashes between the past and the present so that the story unwinds in both places.

I want to watch Being Human now, but I’m tired and congested. I slept poorly last night, and I’m hoping to get more rest tonight and bounce back a bit tomorrow. I suppose SyFy will re-air it during the week so I shouldn’t be too disappointed, but I sort of am.

Speaking of disappointment, work predicts they will have far more people signing up for the fitness classes than they have space to accommodate those people, so we’re all only allowed to sign up for one day a week. I hardly see the point. What good does one 30-minute session a week do? Meh.

There's all kinds of shows that I want to watch but I fall asleep before them come on...

My sister does that all the time. If she didn't have OnDemand, she'd be screwed.

Agree with you on the once a week thing. Sort of demotivating, really. But, well, it's better than nothing. Yeah, captain obvious here. ;-)

And yay, been looking forward to hearing something about Alcatraz. Sounds like it's worth giving a try!

I suppose that we need to do some of the working out on our own. Which makes it harder.

Alcatraz is worth watching. Very good acting, and there is a big mystery, like in LOST, and I sense there will be layers peeled back one at a time.

I'm hoping Fox will re-air it this weekend, so I can rewatch.

Sorry to hear about this new development regarding the work-out classes.
One day a week is really not working. The only solution would be that you practise at home for the rest of the week, I guess.

Yes, exactly. We didn't do anything we couldn't do at home, and in order to get benefit, we'll clearly need to do that.

I'm hoping to tune into Alcatraz tonight; I was just too tired last night. I'm hopeful, but not setting my expectations too high yet.

I'm glad they aired two episodes and not just one. The first was solid but not as intriguing as the second one. I'm curious enough about the mystery of the time travel to keep watching.

What did you think?
