1. The second half of season 3 underwhelmed me so much I'm not even interested in looking up Fringe spoilers anymore, although I did like that we might be getting an Astrid-centric episode. If this season is all about Peter Bishop... meh. Not interested. I love Olivia Dunham, Walter Bishop, Charlie, Broyles, Nina, Astrid and Lincoln. I only like Peter. He isn't that interesting and when they do try to make him interesting I only get bored and annoyed. Joshua Jackson is a good actor but he just isn't selling Peter for me, he remains interesting only in the Mad Scientist's Daughter trope, as comfortador, as truth teller. Give him an epic destiny and one true love duties, sorry its a no sell for me. It's always been like this for me with all of JJ Abram's primary couples except maybe for Spock and Uhura but that's notable in that they aren't his.



2. I am enjoying Haven so much. I like Audrey and her relationships with Nathan and Duke. Most of all I love the feel of Haven, and how it has a whole town to fall back on. It feels like a real town with its own histories and grudges and not just something that sprang out of nowhere. Its a similar feeling I get with Parks and Recreation. It's a world in itself. I love place as character and Haven the town is certainly a character. I wish they didn't have Audrey 2 leave so soon:(.




3. Burn Notice is enjoyable this season I loved Max and enjoy Pearce, they seem to finally know how to cast and write for their recurring guest stars, which was, for me hit or miss most of the time. Leverage also holds the same place here and recently I've noticed how similar Nate and Michael are. They really do go looking for people to help... it would be interesting what would happen when Team Westen came face to face with Team Leverage. Michael might not be a mastermind but he does a lot of the making up as he goes along really well just like Nate... and they rely on old school methods with effective results against technology as we're seeing now with the recent arc. Something tells me Parker and Fiona will get along splendidly.




4. I've been on the fence with White Collar for a while now... but was I the only one who didn't know how badly they mishandled Natalie Morales' dismissal? Apparently Natalie didn't know she was let go until she read it in the news. As far as she knew she was getting along fine with everyone. Then bam, nothing. I've always felt like there was something off about Natalie's character Lauren. I knew they could write awesome female characters and I knew NM can be awesome and snarky (re: The Middleman). Diana came back and I was amazed at how awesome Diana was. I love Diana a lot but it really calls into question how the Jeff Eastin wrote Lauren and treated NM. *shakes head*
