Weekend watching

Amidst playing HC, I managed to catch up with a number of programs:

Life on Mars, ep 2: still replicating the British series. Really hope they move on to original material soon.

Sanctuary, ep 3: the full series that screens on the Sci-Fi channel, this is the first episode that wasn't from the web-series (unfortunately the second episode fell far short of the promise of the web-version). Already shifting into "bizarro of the week", they rip of X-Files' Eugene Tooms. (I know I'm not the only one thinking it.)

No Heroics, eps 1 and 2: British series about heroes and how they are just as messed up as normal people. Mainly featuring them at the pub a lot. The British really get humour in a way Americans don't. A series that doesn't immediately seem like it would work, and yet it does.

My Own Worst Enemy, ep 1: New series staring Christian Slater, about a spy who has another personality that is a normal guy, and then the barriers between their minds start breaking down. Wasn't too impressed by the first episode, as I can see where the cliches will go, but will essay another episode or two before completely writing it off.
