  Happy Unbirthday To Me

  Dear All

  A very happy Christmas and New Year to everyone and their families. I had a great day yesterday with my family and friends celebrating my birthday. I've been told that now I'm 30-19, it's all downhill form here!! I don't think so! I still feel the same way I did when I was 30, I just find it more difficult to see, and to hear, and to kneel down, and to...........

  Anyway, I hope that you all have a wonderful time.

  TV New and Old too

  Season 4 of Dexter is finished; I have not accepted the ending!! I assume that the real ending will appear soon, PLEASE!! Same with Season 3 of Californication, another cliffhanger!

  Just looking forward to 24 and Big Love in January...

  As for Smallville, up to Season 7 now and it's been a rollercoaster ride over the past couple of months. I guess I expected to see Superboy in his traditional suit, able to fly and do all the things that we've come to expect from the previous Superman outings (Lois & Clark, the Movies, the 1960's cartoons and the 1950's black & white Superman).

  Here is an interesting website for my transatlantic friends http://www.strangebritain.co.uk/index.html

  TV new and old

  OK, I've just watched the latest Dexter, I did not see that one coming! We new that Trinity had a daughter however...... Californication just gets better, Duchovny is so believable.

  I finished the last episode of The Invaders last night, I've watched both seasons over the past month, what an excellent series. Architect David Vincent, the only man on Earth to realise that aliens are infiltrating the human population in preparation for a full-fledged invasion. It's probably one of the best pure science fiction shows that was ever produced for television, yet it seems to be constantly overlooked, probably because it only ran for two seasons. The guest cast boasted some big names; Michael Rennie, Gene Hackman, Suzanne Pleshette (mmm...) to name but a few. Yes there were a few episodes that could be described as formulaic - Vincent uncovers an alien plot, tries to warn the authorities, is ignored, and then foils the plot himself before moving on, but these added to the complete story arch. In each episode we learn more about the Invaders, how they think, operate, infiltrate; the command structure, their ultimate intentions. I'd give 9/10 for storylines, sets, acting and the way it always gave you the feeling of anxiety at the end of each episode.

  I'll update you on Smallville next time...
