58. NCIS season 7.
Don't get wrong, Abby is still one of the most awesome characters on tv today, and I still like the team, but, honestly - I'm beginning to suspect the creators of running out of steam. It feels like they're reusing plot ideas a little too much these days.
59. Inception
Definitely a very fun movie, awesome special effects and I just adore Arthur, not to mention that it surprised me by having Leonardo DiCaprio as a character I could stand. That said, it really isn't half as clever as it would like you to think or a fraction as original as some people say (a movie that can be accused of ripping off Don Rosa has no claim to originality, even if the claim is not the strongest in the world - then again, Don Rosa is a god in his own right, kinda :-)), and while Arthur and Eames were cute, then it didn't grab me all that much. Still, it was fun.
30. Torchwood - Children of Earth
This annoyed me, and not just because Ianto died - it just, well, why does everybody leave. Has the Rift mystically closed or something? Hey? Did blowing up the Hub do that? And what about the pterodactyl? Won't somebody please think of the pterodactyl? That said, while I'll be interested in seeing how the bring Jack back and move him and Gwen to the US for the next part, well, I'm not holding my breath. Since seeing the bit of text introducing the new American characters I haven't exactly been bouncing with anticipation, but maybe that's just me. I'll probably watch it anyway, if it shows up somewhere local, but no bouncing.
31. Sherlock
Pretty. Very pretty. And slash-tastic. Shamelessly so. Awesome. More? Yes? Please?
32. Deadwood season 3.
While still awesome, this season felt - unsatisfying. It felt like the whole thing was spent building towards a confrontation that just never came. Probably should have come in season 4. - see, this is why I hate the American tv-series propensity for cliffhangers and open ended season...
33. Castle season 1.
Cheasy on the outside, but actually kind of nice and surrounded by awesome ladies - fun and not to demanding without being stupid. That's nice. Question though: why is it, that authors in tv-series seem incapable of being, well, original. Castle is busily stalking Beckett, McGee in NCIS is writing his team, and then there's the whole prophet-of-the-lord-Chuck in Supernatural (who might be said to actually be making the story up, considering, but still). I mean, the last author in a tv series I remember actually thinking up her own characters was Jessica Fletcher (who was awesome and possibly a very clever serial killer). Anybody know any others? Also, anybody know of any book convention fanfic everybody meets crossovers? Cause that would be awesome funfilled crack, yes?
34. Garrow's law
It's quite fun watching the courtroom scenes, and there is a special kind of fun in watching people say certain things in flowery oldfashioned court speech. Like trying to explain autoerotic asphixiation to a age of sail court. Mind you, my favourite's Mr. Silverster - he's so delightfully snarky.
