As it is sweeps, much is happening in TVland. Right now I totally fear that the following strong new shows will go bad come season 2.
Veronica Mars: I was late to this party but I've seen roughly half the episodes now. What will happen now that all the season 1 mysteries are resolved? Will the show have the same weight when Veronica isn't pondering her own paternity or best friend's murder or sexual assault?
Lost: A few weeks ago I remembered that horrible Felicity episode with Meghan's box, aka the "Twilight Zone" episode. Lost seems to be more and more overt about its sci-fi origins and Outer Limits/Twilight Zone tone. I just don't want any plot twists like "they are all dead" or "the island is some pys-ops testing ground" or "this is an elaborate simulation." I like to pretend I have some agency in this one, since Javi is the supervising producer and all that (and he keeps visiting Ann Arbor, which is nice for a successful tv writer to do when he could be working on his comic book or something more exciting). But since I told him I wanted to be spoiler-free, my pretensions towards agency are totally unwarranted.
Medium: I like this show. Smart dialogue and a very good depiction of a couple/family.
all of which is all the more reason to be excited that BBC-Am is showing Second Sight again this week! Thank God for TiVo!
