TSS: The To Be Read Pile and New Goals

Series Premieres: "NCIS: Los Angeles" and "The Forgotten"
Brief comments on the two series premieres I watched. I’ll write more in depth comments after I’ve seen a few more episodes.

Fringe 2×01 – "A New Day in the Old Town" (SPOILERS)

It's FRINGE Day!

Fringe Tweet-Peat Aftermath
Last night’s repeat of Fringe was going to be a “tweet-peat” where producers and cast members would use twitter to answer questions while the episode was airing. I wasn’t able to watch the actual episode on TV due to a Pre-season football game airing last night (from a couple other tweets I think any city [...]
