Polar Bear Wants a Fish Biscuit!
Quick, hopefully non-spoilery catch-up time.
Heroes
I'm really enjoying this one, more than casually. Hate the brother, love Mohinder (the man could just talk forever and I'd be thrilled), loved the paint-the-future effect (dunno if they did that before - I missed chunks of ep 1), intrigued by Claire, growing to love Hiro (charmed by the little "forgive me!" look in the casino, wowed by the last scene), and thanks to my flist's posts, finally understand what's up with Peter (other than my Wonder Woman underoos at age 6, I was never really into superheroes - sorry).
Lost
I like that even though they "solve" some of the mysteries, they're constantly coming up with new ones without it seeming contrived. No "here, let's give you this answer, then have it lead to another question!" stuff - it's either questions that had been around forever, issues that flow naturally from everything else that's going on, and/or little things that you never really noticed are all of a sudden "whoa, wait a minute..."
Although I decided tonight that Locke has bat ears.
The Nine
Really liking this one, too. It's not so much a whodunit kind of intrigue as "what the hell happened, exactly?" coupled with an interesting look at how these people deal with the aftermath of trauma. It's a different kind of mystery.
I finally figured out that Lizzie is Stalker!Girl from Wonderfalls, and ( Collapse )
ER
I ignore half of the characters, so I don't have much to say other than yaaaaaay, Luka/Abby! and I hope a helicopter falls on the surgeon dude.
BSG
Trying to catch as much of it as I can, when I can. It's not imperative, but I'm curious to keep up.
The Class
Saw enough of the first or second ep to be intrigued, but keep forgetting it's on. Doh!
Eureka
Apparently they're filming this spring, for release this summer. Yaaay, s2!
I think that's everything... Eep, I hope so. At least until 24 comes back in January.

And, why not -
Comment with the name/title of a fandom I'm aware of (obviously not limited to those listed above), no matter how obvious you think the answers will be, and I'll reply to you with the relationships (canon or not) from it I ship. Also, you're free to reply in subthreads and ask me why I ship or don't ship something.
