Blimey!

Some notes...

Lost and BSG returning from their mid season vacations. What gets shown on US TV over Christmas?! Everything seemed to take a break! (Got bored of watching More 4 repeating old episodes of the Daily Show!) Consequently Channel 4 is now catching up with the US showings of Lost, reaching the end of season one next week (Wednesday 22:00), presumably they will go straight into season two? Meanwhile Sky is just about to start showing BSG.

Season 5 of Smallville clashes with Life On Mars, hurray for E4+1 (and More4+1), the timeslipped (by one hour) versions of the channels. Hyperdrive clashes with Lost but Lost also gets shown (and repeataed) on E4. Hurray for multple channels owned by the same company.

Stargates at the bottom. As I've said before, I watched one episode of Atlantis from the first series and it was so laughable I switched over. I've heard that it's got better but I'm in no rush to see it. SG-1, I've no idea which season they're showing on Channel 4 here in the UK, they all seem to blur into one (it might be season 7? But Sky are on season 9?). I'm very interested in the seasons with Ben Browder and Claudia Black though, because they're very cool (oh if only Farscape didn't have the muppets),
