| Seasons Greetings | 9.08.2008 |
What, I can't say that in September? When did that phrase become instantly about Christmas? I refer to the new television season. There are many shows that are coming that have me all giddy as a school girl. Ok, maybe not quite that excited, but I am hyped. Some of the highlights I am keeping an eye out for:
Fringe - This feels a lot like the X-Files for the 2000's. The story follows a female FBI agent who has to work with a scientist who was in a mental institute. They go about dealing with a variety of unexplained phenomena. (on Fox Tuesday at 8/7 central)
TrueBlood - Vampires have become common knowledge (like they aren't already?) in this HBO series that primarily deals with a barmaid mind reader. (on HBO Sunday at 9/8 central)
Lost - After the writers strike screwed up the season last year, they are coming back to further confuse the hell out of us with smoke monsters and Baba Yaga-ish roving cabins full of ghosts while the countryside offers up random surprises from long lost relatives to those thought dead and sometimes even those entirely in the imaginations. Mind you, I can never get out of my head that BatManuel is in this show. Sorry Nestor but you will always be "On a roof, of course" to me. No date yet on when this show will resume airing yet. Stay tuned
Dexter - A serial killer who works for the Miami Police Department. His job? Working with blood spray patterns. He is a forensic expert and also uses his inside connections to track and murder serial killers. Hey, if you have such a compunction to go randomly kill people, why not make it something that betters society. That is the lesson his "dad" drilled into him when he first discovered that he had serial killer tendencies. (on HBO Sunday at 9/8 central) (Hey wait a minute, are they really going to pit these two shows against each other on their own network? Probably not, expect one of them to change time.)
Supernatural - Two brothers roam the country seeking out paranormal situations and dealing with them in an attempt to figure out what happened to their mother long ago when she was mysteriously killed by a demon. (on CW Thursday at 9/8 central)
These are just some of the genre shows that I am looking forward to this season. The plan is for Horror-Web to do episodic reviews for these shows every week. So look for them in our television section soon.
