Season 3 flagged a bit, but as we headed into the home stretch of Season 4, the show hit its stride again, reminding me why I loved it so much to begin with. It dares to change, and Betty dares to change, evolving like a butterfly, and we head into new territory, and new challenges, as well as a graceful sweeping up of all the loose ends.
Glee (Season 2)
It's bizarre that this show can be so progressive in some areas, and then smack you in the face with something so offensive the next moment. I'm really not sure what to expect from Season 3. Except that I'm fear everyone is still inexplicably in love with Finn Hudson, the most uncharismatic guy on the show.
Doctor Who (Season 6)
I love that River Song got her story arc. Who would have thought, back in the days of "Silence in the Library" and "Forest of the Dead", when they seemed like a complete story already? Kudos to Alex Kingston for bringing this character to life. I cannot imagine her being played by anyone else. The Eleventh Doctor continues to be awesome, and I'm relieved to be farewelling Amy and Rory. Roll on the new season!
Supernatural (Season 3)
I finally finished this season, after grinding to a halt a couple of years back. It gets better from here, I gather. Looking forward to meeting all these angels and demons people keep going on about.
Hajime no Ippo (complete)
A solid shounen series, with a modest hero working hard for his dreams. Inspiring and motivating, despite me not generally being a fan of boxing. Also, it is somewhat amusing how deliberately blokey it is at regular intervals.
