The Killing (2011)
The C..r..a..w..l..i..n..g...
Meh.. What else can i say about this, apart from that it's just OKAY, if nothing else is on. The Killing Crawled its way from the AMC network to the viewers' bandwidths with some predictably lazy writing and a fair number of uninteresting characters. The themes are sadness, depression, recklessly crappy police investigations, inability to let go and over repetitive character stereotyping long after their developments. The "Yes yes yes I know the mother is SAD, enough of that already!" came to mind several times, but I guess if it took six episodes to bury the girl, then perhaps she'd stop crying after the 5th season. So now like I said... I'm okay with it (I'll just have to cop it). There are of course internet surfing and android gaming in the meantime while the show is running, in case you needed extra action.
Stargate Universe sets the depressing theme for this show, while Jar Jar Binks gets the roles of all the oxygen wasting political characters in the story, both stupefying and dragging things far beyond their entertaining lengths. If the question "What are you selling here AMC?" was asked, then the obvious answer would be "The same things newspapers sell... Blank empty spaces."
Stargate Universe (2009)
Who wrote all the good reviews? Stop torturing your loyal fans!!!
Scouring through new and old comments, I notice that my previous comment hasn't been approved or put-up. So I'm wiring you the second one.
Water World did so bad - that a Arcade game resembling the same title had Kevin Costner character walking 15steps before the player needed to insert more coins. Similar case applies to SG-U.
SG-U is in all aspects a complete waste of oxygen. Unparalleled for its repugnant wiggling distance per episode... and story-lines (WHAT STORYLINE?!!!) written like some disturbed kid's last minute essay. Yes 'disturbed kid' is an accurate term trust me, since they all argue like troubling teens.
I'm a big fan of all SG series, but this one just contaminates the bandwidth and dirty the pixels on my screen. I find accurate reviews of this show are ones 3 stars and below, sure there bound to be a few that scores 8 or 9 out of 10, but highly unlikely to be that many.
SG-U is another rip-off of successful classics like "Speed-2 Cruise Control". Pour in the mix of some mood-swing hormones and you'll get "Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles" Add confused, insane, methane and blah and get SG-U.
So stop torturing your loyal fans... stop trying to keep this crap together... stop writing fake 9-star reviews and most importantly, stop the ideas that audiences are stupid.
So get your depressing psychopathic butt the hell of our screens and make way for something else!
Dollhouse (2009)
Throw that office guy out - and the show's saved.
Sure it's science, directed at laws of Universal energy and therefore the concepts of mental rebirths and its earned experiences within its group-collective-consciousness. Leading to (the you know what already) "awakening..." nothing new these days to see such ideas yapping on again and again.
One problem though... Whatever juice this Brink character's on is far from impressive. Because as balanced as Universe maybe at selecting what a person is re-initiated as with what type of skills does not depend on some unprofessional yuppie programmer whose junkie CPU's are cooked beyond well-done.
I mean... this guy made Dollhouse look like a badly rehearsed wrestling match. 'Cos a wealth of technical knowledge isn't believable when it is pushed through such a childish character.
Take him out, or change his styles and I won't keep flicking through the channels when the show's on.

The Lost (2009)
Lost the lot in the end
Surprise ending and twists are suppose to help dress and ignite the silver screen as well as deliver food for thoughts to audiences, but this one just turned out its own lights.
Now, imagine a top psychiatrist/serial killer who managed to suppress all of his own evil killings... and now presently working to help uncover the deaths of 4 female spirits (one of them happens to be his own wife) whom he personally buried under a salt mine. Working along one of the victim's sister, a cop and a psychic.
Now that's plenty of resources at his disposals, not to mention the four ghosts whose memories were intact and a psychic... a psychic! You'd think they all knew it was him as soon as he walked in the front door! But Noooooooooope! The movie kept pointing the killer in all different directions, other than the evil doctor himself, which as it turned out, surprise surprise!... the ending twist of the movie. What a shame.
This could have been really good should the killer be someone else, good as in it would have made more sense and I would have given this one 8/10.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (2008)
It's a Worminator
These words describe Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles...
Sleepy, crawly, lazy, degenerative, retarded, plot less & out of ideas and still hanging around like poop on hot day. It is an absolute disgrace to any Terminator franchise. Even when watched using the FF->> button on the remote, it was still unbearable. My summary? The plane has crashed into the goddamn mountain!
"The world needs us to save it! We need to boost our morale... to be more lively, happy, active, alert, logical and sober" NOOOOOOOPE! Bugger that philosophical bull****, we're just gonna be depressed, upset, and spraying our mood-swing hormones all over the damn screen. The real Sarah Connor wouldn't care to urinate on this one if she was on fire.
Add more money or take two megatons of cocaine, I don't care, just make it better or DE-Worminate it!

Lost (2004)
You'd either love Lost, or find it frustrating... or both.
With credited writings, acting, screening, cameras, stunning visual effects and beautiful locations... Lost is meant to be found by audiences of television.
It is an epic saga sliced & diced into to a million pieces, flashing bits of it here and there hoping for the best that the lame segments will carry their duties in dragging out the show.
A labyrinth story told in a week, but insert some pain resistant secret islanders from Her Majesty's SAS and this will cause severe plot-choking, preventing any answers from ever emerging.
Allowing lies to go on and on unpunished and install another major wiz of incompetent info-sharing between characters... and voila! It is no wonder they keep getting Lost. Have a meeting once a week at least, share some info and this will really save them, but noooooooooooooooo.
The highlight of this show to me was when lies and falsified information (either from stupidity or mood-swings of the moment) led characters to their painful deaths. I look forward to this every week.
Lost is a jigsaw puzzle where the key pieces are never revealed easily and when asked, those pieces conveniently slip away. I am hooked and frustrated at the same time, but there aren't much out there of interest. The good thing is I get bored very easily. It's my specialty.
Demons (2009)
I puked
I don't know how many easily entertained people are out there... but Trick-or-Treat kiddies on our streets can put on better costumes and apply better make-ups than the "demons" on this show.
Perhaps it is suited taste for some audiences, but the lack of passion and imagination are clearly evident. Mega-poor SFX, the tough-fake American accent, blind woman who only appears one-quarter of the time blind, super cheesy non-believable demons, weaponry so ancient... it appeared that Van Helsing organization was no longer funded after year 1320 and without any weapon masters present, where are those silly ammunition coming from? Over-all... what the hell?!!!
Maybe I'm too spoiled and expect a little too much out of this, but man... this truly devastated, robbed a huge chunk and left a big hole inside of me.
