Friday 1/27.
- WWE: Friday Night Smackdown (UPN 8pm). Again, the details have slipped away, but I do remember enjoying it!
- Stargate SG-1 (Sci-Fi 8pm). Ba'al is back causing trouble, kidnapping members of the Jaffa council and brainwashing them, under the guise of turning back the Auri. Mitchell finds one of his friends is dying, so sets out to try and keep his spirits up. ***
- Stargate: Atlantis (Sci-Fi 9pm). McKay is trapped in a jumper that has crashed in the ocean outside of Atlantis. The rest of the team is searching for a way to find and save him. McKay is frantically trying to find a way to get to the surface, and has the most bizarre encounter with SG-1's Sam. He is fast becoming a favorite character of mine. ***
- Battlestar Galactica (Sci-Fi 10pm). The new commander of the Pegasus is assassinated, and Baltar is a potential suspect. Lee has made friends with a prostitute on Pegasus, looking for a replacement for a lost love. That relationship and his investigation into the commander's death leads him to a confrontation with the leader of the black market. Not much Cylon action, but another winner. ****
Saturday 1/28.
- TNA: Wrestling Impact (Spike 11pm). Sting's return to primetime ends with him saying goodbye. Is this the last we will see of the Stinger?
To be dropped from the "To Watch" list:
Shows on the bubble:
- Crossing Jordan
- Invasion
- Bones
That is all for this week.

Lost is going nowhere!
*Gapes*
I'd have to say that episode was one of the best of the season, well-rounded character development ep, with a reasonable amount of "what the f*** is going on" thrown in.....just like the "old days"....
Ah well, that's just my opinion...
I agree. I think Lost is just fine, and remains one of the best TV dramas in recent memory.
Gilmore Girls, I fear, has jumped the shark, as I posted recently.

"24" just got a little less exciting in my book. I just don't believe the White House mole's motivations.
As long as the sharks are jumping, let me bet is that Behrooz, the adolescent quasi-terrorist from last season, is the guy Jack discovers hiding behind the bed in the next episode. Behrooz got involved in the plot because he wants revenge for what happened to his family the last time millions of Americans were going to be annihilated by terrorists.
Also, Jack and Mrs. President will have a love affair after she pokes her own eye out with a thong.
"Why?" the President will ask, moaningly, after he discovers the affair, the eyeball, and the thong all within the same 14 minutes and 32 seconds interval. "Why? Why?"
Sobbingly, she'll reply: "Oil!"
[No, I don't understand it either.]
