Friday 6/17.
- Into the West. I liked this episode much more than last week, it seemed much more focused. This week follows Jacob who returns home with his family and begins a dangerous trip to California which tears them all apart. I think I will continue with the series. ***
Saturday 6/18.
- The Batman. While Bruce is being trailed by a video camera, Penguin invades the manor. The bird turns the table on the Bat and threatens to reveal his true identity, but Alfred saves the day, in more ways than one. An entertaining episode, still pales next to The Animated Series. ***
- Justice League: Unlimited. A signal is received and Hawkgirl, Vixen and Vigilante are sent to investigate. It turns out to be a trap set by a group of Thanagarians. A good episode featuring some good character development. ***
- WWE: Velocity. MNM took on a pair of jobbers. Funaki took on newcomer Juventud, it was an OK match featuring a People's Elbow and Juvy's finisher, some sort of pump handle into a Michinoku driver. Renee Dupree took on Mark Jindrak. The final match was newcomers Psicosis and Super Crazy taking on Billy Kidman and Akio, turned out to be a pretty good match too, featuring some flashy moves. **.5
- Hammerhead: Shark Frenzy. I almost made it all the way through, but it was so uninteresting that I had to give up on it. Bad effects, bad dialogue, bad acting. Just awful. But I should have realized that going in, but I was blinded by the potential fun performance from Jeffrey Combs, who is generally pretty reliable in this type of movie. *
That does it for this week.

I'm getting a little bored with The Dead Zone. Seems like the concept is getting a little stale. Maybe this new evil dude (the guy that bailed the preacher out of jail and talked Stillson through his father's "accident") will eventually shake things up.
Really enjoying The Inside thus far -- I think it has a lot of potential.

Inside is good, I hope they keep it up.
I missed the second ep of Dead Zone, I'll try to catch it on Friday. I still think they have some steam, but I forgot what happened last season!
