Don't Waste Your Time: Eleventh Hour

It's been quite the year of X-Files copy cats, and while I am not one to eviscerate fledgling shows, I have to say watching the pilot of Eleventh Hour was verging on painful.

Within the first five minutes my friends and I were already asking "What!?" and giving each other confused looks. I am all about complex TV that challenges the viewer, but in a pilot I prefer to understand where I am and who I am watching before you go off and complex me. I also felt very little attachment to the characters and their stereotypical behavior, Rufus Sewell is hot but beyond that I really wasn't impressed. And adding to the confusion was my inability to figure out exactly which characters would be recurring and thus who I should care about. All of which could be forgiven if I had been watching a gripping, kick ass pilot, however, in my opinion, this was not that by any means.

I will say that I've never been a huge CSI fan myself (I lean towards Law and Order) and episodic dramas without overarching plot lines usually do not grab me (unless I'm in the midst of some epic marathon) so I would take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Decide for yourself: Eleventh Hour airs Thursdays at 10pm on CBS

What I'm Watching: Thursday, September 28

Smallville Thursdays, 8pm (CW) *SPOILERS AHEAD*

I really hate it when people give up on television shows...

...and I am a hypocrite.

I really do love Smallville, I even own the first five seasons! But my excuse is that I've been a season behind for the past couple seasons and I kept putting off properly catching up. However, I have decided that I have given up on getting caught up and I am going to just jump right back in, especially since this could potentially be their last year. Wikipedia's Smallville Season 7 Entry was amazingly helpful and I youtubed most of the important moments from the 7th Season Finale, including this heartbreaking clip...I wasn't even rooting for them and this still broke me:

Speaking of couples, I think I may have also given up on the show around the same time I gave up my hope for Chloe and Clark to be together. Even though I saw in my youtube spree that Jimmy proposed to Chloe in the Season Finale, I've heard that their will be some Chlark moments in the upcoming season and I'm not gonna lie, that's a huge reason why I am going to start watching again.

Check out the Season 8 Promo:

I have to admit that trailer didn't do much for me, but I am curious about seeing Supergirl and the Justice League (I was already loving the Green Arrow from the episodes I did manage to catch over the past two years) I guess I'll just have to wait and see how the episode turns out, and I'll let you know my thoughts...

You can check it out too, Smallville airs Tonight at 8pm on the CW!
