Ps - Lardy, you are so right on the Voice. I'm quasi into it, but my wife really is. But c'mon--what the HELL is Christina thinking? She's my girl from waaaay back (the dirrrty video changed my life ) but she is definitely the worst coach.
It was also telling how when Blake and his four did a song together, he let each shine in a big way without taking any spotlight, while with Christina did the total opposite.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. Blake didn't have a single solo part while Christina hogged most of the spotlight. I mean...that outfit alone!
Usually, I'm not into singing competitions or even most reality shows in general, other than Survivor. There were two seasons of American Idol where I was into the final 10 or 12. But there's something about the Voice that has hooked me this season and its debut last summer.
Coming into this week, I thought Christina's and Ceelo's teams were the ones to beat. But Christina has all but insured her team won't win by eliminating Jesse.
BTW, did you hear the lady on Ceelo's team do "Roxanne" the previous week? That was AMAZING!

Grimm is turning out to be a pretty fun show. Anyone watching it?

I watched the first four episodes or so, then stopped. There just wasn't enough to draw me in. Wouldn't be surprised if it's gotten better since then. I also jumped off shows like Fringe and Lost early on and ended up returning and becoming a big fan.

It's definitely turned out to be one of the big surprises of the season.
It's got the basic problem that the longer it goes on, the more improbable it seems that this secret culture of Wesen are living among us, since like half the population seem to belong to it, but once you get past that, the build up of mythology is actually getting pretty cool.

Lardy, did you see last night's ep? My wife was ready to try to pull Christina through the television screen and slap her upside her head! She's officially joined the Christina haters, which seem to be a groundswell movement online. I can't blame 'em.
But all four had great performances. I really like Tony Lucca and if he won I'd be happy, but I have to say, Jermaine is probably my favorite.

Yeah, I watched it. Don't know why Christina's so snarky to her old Mickey Mouse mate Tony. But I have to applaud her for allowing Chris Mann to go through on her team without interference. Lindsey was cute, but Chris is clearly better than her on her team.
Speaking of Tony, I like him, but I was in love with singing of his blonde teammate Katrina (you know the cubicle lady). I thought she was just great and got better every week, while Tony, IMO, peaked with the Britney Spears cover. If Adam hadn't given Tony the 60/40 edge, Katrina would've been in the finale.
Jermaine has the edge I think. Either him or Chris should win.
I love Juliet, but she's a little inconsistent. She didn't do so well on "Free Bird" or with "Crying" a coupla weeks ago, imo, while she killed it on "Roxanne" and "Man's World".
All in all, it's a terrific final four, if not my ideal line-up. Jesse and Katrina were my choices for Teams Christina and Adam. But the four who are there are terrific.

Sherlock Series Two finally made it's North American debut and didn't disappoint. Can't wait for Baskervilles next week.

I'm a longtime fan and I'm also not getting into it yet this season. Something feels like it's missing--some kind of tension, or I don't know what. I'm hoping it picks up.
It's picking up a little but I'm still not 100% feeling it. I think the blame lays on what's going on with Don. Which is really not all that much that is exciting. Subsequently, I now find Megan a bit irritating. I do get that their showing the generation gap in the 60's and how the culture was changing and find it fascinating.
Peggy is as awesome as ever, and she's basically carrying the show.
Meanwhile, Pete is back to being someone I dislike. And Roger, while reclaiming a certain charm that has been missing since the third season, needs to continue along his character arc this season so it can get exciting.
Ken has continued to emerge as a favorite. Joan is fantastic. Lane is a great character. Even Sally is great. I need a healthy dose of them each episode to balance out the boring Don stories.

Definitely enjoyed it, though a bit annoyed that Click Here For A SpoilerIrene Adler didn't quite beat Sherlock in the end.

Underworld: Awakening. And wondering if the Danny Mcbride that was part of creating the characters is the same one from Land of the Lost and East bound and down.

Sherlock: Hounds of the Baskerville was a bit of a letdown. I had the mystery solved early and didn't find it the best episode (while still good, it just wasn't up to Sherlock's High standards). I wonder if the 8 minutes PBS lopped off made a difference?

Yeah, definitely the weakest episode of Sherlock so far.
In semi-related matters, "Elementary" sounds completely awful.

Of all the new shows annoucned, "Vegas" by CBS looks to be the possible best. It also has what looks like the best cast, complete with Michael Chiklis who finally returns to television after his jaw-droppingly phenomenal run on the Shield.
