If they'd spend as much time on the story lines as they did designing the CTU New York set, this show would be much better off. All this fancy stuff at CTU HQ just defies any sense of reality. The early days of this show felt real, at least to an extent. Now, it might as well be a cartoon. The upward sliding door on the interogation room, that is tax payer money well spent. I expect to see a cart being pushed around handing out lattes and someone giving massages.

I always hoped they would made this a continuation of the original. At the end of the second miniseries from the 80's (I think) the humans sent out a distress signal to the enemies of the Visitors. The Visitor's planet was 10 (or something like that) light years away, so they figured it would take 20 years to get help. Showing what the Earth would have been like after 20 years of Visitor rule would have been interesting. (Not counting the dumb ending of the TV series where the hybird love child magically stopped all the destruction.)

This show is getting better. Still not BSG caliber, but it is headed in the right direction.

SIGN ME UP! I'll be buying a tuner ( or more ) the first day available for my home built HTPC. If this thing is on the horizon, I'll wait for it.

The OEM cable card PC's scared the heck out of me. There was no way I was dumping all that cash down a hole that Cable Labs could kill at any moment.

I want to like this show, I really do. Every week I come back and every week I spend the entire episode wondering if my dog needs a Snuggie.

Too much Ghostbusters and not enough X-Files.

This show could have been so much better. They should have started out with some more 'believable' episodes. Track down some random lost Edison invention, not a chair that's been sat in too much.

First two seasons of Earl were great and believable. Camden was messed up, but the people were real. Then Earl went to prison and his brother became a guard and Craig T. Nelson was the warden. The show never recovered from that. All it needed to focus on was the list, no more - no less. Darnell as a special agent was insulting. They could have done so much better. RIP Earl.

For a while, I was wondering if Jack would die and Tony would take over as the main hero of 24 next season. Guess that option is out.

Tony has to be a bad guy now. There is too much flip flop with his character. The end of this season will come down to a confrontation between Jack and Tony.

Also, I'm losing my willingness to let some details slide in this season. Washington DC seems just business as usual even though the White House was attacked hours before. Assassinated Senator, no big deal. Military action in Sengala (sp?), no big deal. President wimps out on launching attack from two only F-18s, no big deal. FBI shows up at Starkwood with only 20 guys, no big deal. President's daughter sleeps with reporter and walks out with perfect hair, no big deal. President's husband gets kidnapped and almost killed, no big deal. The list could go on and on.

In previous seasons all we had to believe was that cell phone batteries last forever and people don't need sleep. This season has been a tad much. I expect more from this show.

The show was good, but not great. I'll watch a few more times before I make a final decision. Definately DVR worthy to watch on nights when nothing is on.

As 'My Name is Earl' slips further and further away from anything remotely humorous, I'm looking for some good comedy. P&R may not be it, but at least it's new and hasn't let me down like 'Earl' has over the last two seasons.

The song could easily have been something the cylons imprint on everyone so they can find their way back to the colony in case they get lost. 'If found, please return this cyclon to the singularity. Thank you.'

Also, do you think it was good makeup for the flashbacks to Caprica, or is this footage shot long ago and never used. Star Trek TNG did something similiar in their final episode.

Was their any significance to the name of the man Roslin mentioned on the phone during her flashback? Was this the old President she was having the affair with?
