Dexter
2x09 Resistance is Futile
2x10 There's Something About Harry
Dexter's second season heads into its final third. It's gone by far too fast -- even though I've been trying to ration the episodes to one at a time (ep9's ending was too good to resist) -- which is entirely down to me no longer being able to get FX so downloading the episodes and churning through them in under two weeks! (As opposed to the twelve it would take when broadcast, which is how I watched season one.) It's its own fault -- it's just too damn good to put down.

Thunderbirds IR Trailer
Seems that, back in 2005, Carlton tried to do a new version of Thunderbirds as a puppets/CGI combo thingy, with new puppet & ship designs. Scott Tracy looks freaky. While some of it's moderately impressive, the use of puppets and CGI is more than a little jarring -- it looks like a spruced-up old series, not a brand new one -- and some of the dialogue is appalling. "Scott, pull up, it's too risky! The whole place is gonna blow in 10 seconds!" "Good -- I only need 9." Good? Good? It's not good. Anyway, I'm sure there's room for a decent Thunderbirds remake (the desire from critics for the crappy movie to be any good shows that), but I doubt this would've been it either. Oh well.
