Sunday Evening Pop Culture Things

1. Really liked the season premiere of SPN. But I have no idea if this is going to lead a strong season. And there were flaws in this episode. Still, a good start.

2. Not much enthusiasm for any new series. The only one I'm sure to try is Once Upon a Time. Anyone try any of the new stuff yet?

3. So apparently I love noir urban fantasy. How else to explain going from one of Mike Carey's Felix Castor novels to a Dresden Files book to the new October Daye installment? Each series takes a very different approach to similar sorts of characters, each is worth reading. And none take place in New York. Which makes me wonder if anyone has an urban fantasy detective-type doing his or her heroics in NYC?

4. Haven't seen the latest hour of Doctor Who yet. More to come.

Person of Interest: Not a great show, really, but given my interests in privacy and the like, the panopticon in the backdrop is a nice hook that'll keep me watching.

That's all of the new stuff so far, and my Internet doesn't get hooked up until Wednesday, so the Terra Nova premiere I'll get then. The only other new show I had listed was Grimm, which, given Once Upon a Time's similarity, I'll probably try that one too.

I just posted about the new stuff I tried.

I'm definitely looking forward to Once Upon a Time. Also Grimm.

Not watching any TV at the moment.

Anton Strout's series is set in NYC (They've all got "Dead" somewhere in their title, but I can't remember the ordering without looking it up).

Oh good! Someone else reading Felix Castor!
